Would Seize Ships.
Senator Lodge. in supporting the
United States should seize the German
ships now In American
ports and use them to replace ships
Germany hos sunk by submarine.
Senator Norris. Republican, of Ne
braska, told the senate he was bitter
ly opposed to the United States enter.
that he would vote against the war
resolution.
Wall street interests. he asserted,
are interests In profting from Ameri-
q participation. He also declared a
Large number Of newspapers and
news agencies have been controlled
and enlisted in the greatest propa-
to manufacture sentiment for war"
"No one is more conscious than I.
that this is a moment for action and
not for debate,' said Mr.. Lodge. "But
I wish briefly to state why I support
this resolution with the greatest earn
estness Of which I am capable.
1.-THE most momentous power en-
trusted to congress by the constitution
Is the authority to declare war and
never has congress been called to a
more solemn exercise Of this great
power than at this moment. We have
submitted to rong and outrages
from the central powers Of Europe
with a long patience. We have borne
and %foreborne to the very limit Of
endurance. Now the inevitable is here
and we are about to declare war
against Germany.
Party Lines t Vanish.
Speaking for myself and. I hope
for my associates generally. o this
side of the chamber, I desire to say
that in this crisis and when the coun-
pear and this disappearance of the
party line. will, l am confident not be
confined to the minority.
A Americans we shall all I am
sure be prepared to give to the exec
utive, money, men and all the neces-
sary powers for waging war with Ger
many and driving it forward to a sue
cessful conclusion.
THE president has said that war
cooperation in counsel and action
with h governments now at war
with Germany. I am not only In
agreement with this policy advised by
the president, but it seems to me that
nothing Is more important than to
follow 1t out.
Following Washington's Example.
II am as thorough a believer in the
general policy handed down by Wash
ington when he advised the people Of
the United States not to enter into
permanent alliances; but the man
who won the American revolution
through the alliance with France
would have been the last to lay down
q hard and fast rule that under no
circumstances and for no purposes
were we ever to ally ourselves with
other nations.
ut would be madness for us to at
tempt to make war alone upon Ger
many and find ourselves, perhaps, at
the n left isolated, at war with that
power, when all the nations had made
peace, because we have not associat-
cd ourselves with them. The allies are
fighting a common foe and their foe
is now ours.
No Army to Send I Europe.
1--WE cannot send an army across
the ocean o we have no army to
send. Yet. 1 should be glad for one,
If we could send 10000 men of our
regular troops, 80 hat the flag Of the
United States might at least be un-
furled in the fields of France. I be-
lieve that the mere sight Of that flag
in that region made so desolate by
war would stimulate the courage and
help the success of those who have
the same aim that we have and who
seek the same victory"
Stone to Vote For War.
Senator Stone OF the senate foreign
relations committee. in a speech OPP
posed the war resolution. but pledged
himself to do everything in his power
to help wage war successfully.
Mississippi. was the first senator
speaker on the war resolution to an
nounce he would vote against II.
