ment received telephone message from
my secretary, advising me that the vote
had been taken upon the resolution. Had
been present, should have offered the
following amendment to the joint resolu-
ton:
Provided, That the United States asserts
its determination not to be bound by or be-
come a party to the enforcement OF any
agreement OF agreements heretofore entered
into between the Allied powers TO deprive the
imperial and royal government of Austria
Hungary of title to or control of any terri
tory which was part of the Austro Hun
garian Empire or possessions August l, 1914.
Mr.. President, with that added to the
Joint resolution as it was proposed and
voted upon, would have supported it as
a necessary war measure. Without it or
some similar declaration of our purpose,
| should have voted against it.
That is all have to say upon the sub
ject at this time.
MR.. FLOOD (in the House)-We took

charge made by United States Representa-
tive Neely of ''high crimes and misdemean-
ors." Specifically, the charges accused the
judge of having publicly denounced the
President of the United States from the
bench and before jury; Of conspiring to
form a carbon trust; refusing to enforce
certain Federal laws; : of discharging jur-
ors for returning verdicts not agreeable to
him; of stating that he would not permit
the United States Mine Workers to exist
within the jurisdiction of his court and
denouncing that organization as one Of
criminal conspirators. Investigations and
various incidental trial delays held up the
case almost a year. 1t was not until
March, 1915, that the House Judiciary
Committee voted to drop the proceedings.
Judge Dayton at the time of his appoint
ment as Federal Judge for the Northern
District of West Virginia was member
of Congress. He was born in Philippi,
Va, before that portion of the state was
set off as West Virginia, and is now in his
sixty.frst year. He was graduated at the
University of West Virginia in 1878, and
was admitted to the bar the same year.
The following year he was appointed to fill
out an unexpired term as prosecuting at
torney of Upshur County, and from 1884
TO 1888 he held similar Office in Barbour
County. He was elected to the Fifty
fourth, Fifty-ffth, Fifty-sixth, Fifty
seventh, Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth Con-

displayed. He has reasons to which
am willing to defer now, but confidently
predict that before many weeks nave
passed he will come and ask that we de-
clare war on Bulgaria and Turkey. We
might as well face the truth. The Ameri-
can people are not afraid of any task,
however gigantic, and are willing to pay
the price demanded in order that great
end be gained. There are some things
that have occurred in the past by which
our feet to-day can be guided. We do not
need to launch out alone on an uncharted
sea and in darkness. When this terrible
war began, three years and more ago, for
a time italy held out. In the end she
declared war-against whom Austria
Hungary alone. She had just concluded a
war with Turkey, and was still at enmity
with the Turkish Empire, as far as their
respective interests were concerned In
Northern Africa and in Asia Minor. Bull
garia loomed up with hostile intent IN the
Balkans. Italy confined herself to dec
laration of war against Austria-Hungary,
and she made the fatal mistake of her life.
When you go into this war you must
calculate that you are going into 1t to
fight the enemies of your friends, other
wise YOU are but half in the war, and
you are but weak prop to your friends.
The hour may at any time strike when
YOUR attitude prevents your friends from
coming to your assistance. Little Serbia
held out against all the power of the
Austrian government to overrun her land,
and when Bulgaria entered the war and
struck Serbia on the flank with the Ger
man hosts helping the Austrians, Serbia
fell in a few weeks. Likewise, Mon
tenegro. that little mountainous country
whose soil had never felt the tread of
hostile foot for more chan 500 years. The
rest of Europe had resounded to the bat
tie drums and triumph of marching hordes
and conquerors, but Montenegro remained
sacred to the blood of her ancestors. All.
whv were the Allies unable to stop the
advancing hosts? Because Italy was not
at war with Bulgaria and Germany, and
when from Montenegro and Serbia came
the Macedonian cry for help Italy could
not send the men and guns which, united
with the strength of the Allies, undoubted-
" would have saved Serbia and Monte
negro. We have that in the past, but we
have more than that. Italy has good
cause against the United States at this
hour. There is no secret in Europe, there
is no secret in this chamber, and venture
there is little secret in Washington that
the Italian government has been begging
of the United States these many months
not for men, because they have millions
in their camps, not so much for money,
though they needed funds, but, above all,
they begged for, as they needed, guns, mil
itary material and those munitions that
would enable those men to be transformed
into fighting units, and we failed to an
swer their repeated call. Why? Because
we were not at war with Austria Hun
gary.
