New Britain herald., 1917-04-02

C00xreSS In BealtcOSe Mood.
 Congress assembled with a majority openly in favor of declaration of atate of war, if not actually a declara- tiona of war.
 Beset on one side by large delega- lions Of pacificts praying for peace and besieged on the other by large numbers of patriotic pilgrims.' who demand the country's entrance into the war. congress waited to hear, the president outline the long history of German asgressions against American lives and rights and the predatory violence of her submarines.
 The capital was arrayed9 in war spirit as congress assembled. The pacifist delegations, wearing white bands on their sleeves or white streamers across their breasts. pa- raded the sidewalks in numbers. filled the house and senate galleries and made calls on their congressman. They moved about without demon- stration and there were few evidences of hostility against them.
 'The patriotic pilgrims" were hard to distinguish among thousands of citizens who went about the days work wearing American flags The national yccIors fiuttered from build ings, automobiles and almost every point of vantage.
 Chairman Simmony of the senate finance committee conferred with Sec- retary McAdoo on the amount of money needed immediately by the government.
 It was agreed not to go into details until after congress takes action defining the attitude of the United States and then Secretaries McAdoo, Baker and Daniels will again discuss the question with Senator Simmons and also. with house leaders.
 Senator Simmons said he thought the credit to be granted to the presi- dent by congress should be a large one The amount fixed. he added, would not mean that all of it was to be used or that much more might not be asked for later.
 Senator Simmons said there was no longer any doubt that war with Ger many would be declared to exist al- though the form of the resolution had not been decided upon.
 Chaplain Prays For Patriotism.
 The house session opened with Clerk South Trimble presiding until organization was perfected.
 The chaplain included in his pray CT plea for patriotism.
 Diplomacy has failed" he prayed. Moral suasion has failed. Appeals to reason and justice have been swept aside. We abhor war and love peace, but if war has been or shall be forced upon us, we pray that the heart of every American citizen may throb with patriotic feeling and that a unit ed people may rally around our pres ident to hold up his hand iii every measure deemed necessary to protect the lives of American citizens and safeguard our inheritance"

or U06OfQofS S-C0n&TeSSmcn Be.
 deged By Both Factions Flood of
 Telegrams Received.
 Washington, April 2.-Paciast and anti -pacifist pilgrims beseieged off, cial Washington today in an eleventh hour effort to influence congress tow ard their respective views of impend- ing war with Germany. Street parad- ing was denied both by police orders. but the program of each called for un- organized sidewalk processions to the capitol. where sehators and represen- tatives might be canvassed for their peace or war ideas @
 Simultaneously thousands of tele- grams from Ill part of the country poured upon the capitol and White House. either praying for peace or urging drastic action to uphold Amer ican rights and honor.
 Most pacifists came here from New York and other cites under direction of the Emergency Peace Federation. They arranged meeting this after noon to act on resolutions and peti- dons, and a mass meeting for tonight. The anti-pacifists, calling themselves Pilgrims of Patriotism, came from . number of eastern cities. marshalled by New York citizens committee to neutralize the effect of the anti-war forces.
 The delegations of pacifists assem- bled at headquarters of the Emergen- cy Peace Federation and were fur nished with white arm bands bearing in large black letters the inscription Keep out of war;. They were sup piled also with cards to admit them to the business and mass meetings and the city addresses of their senators and representatives. The delegates were instructed to spend the morning calling upon their legislative represen- tatives and urging them to take no ac- ton that would lead to hostilities. The instruction list handed to each deIegate called attention to the fact that both houses would convene at noon and that they might be inter ested in witnessing the opening. This was taken to mean that the pacifists were expected to be at the capitol at 12 o'clock.
 Anti-pacifsts said they, too. would Dc. at the capitol whenever the pa cifists planned to be there. They had Instructions similar to the pacifists and long before the time set for the opening of congress the telephone bells of senators and representatives in their homes and at their offices were tinkling with calls from both factions.
 Louis P. Lochner, directing the ac- tivities of the pacifists, said:
 "If we should fail to prevent war we, will continue to work for peace just as certain people in England have done all during this war in Flu rope. s..ssis U
