BEWARE OF WAR SUBSTI.
TUTES1

1t is fantastic story, re-
lated by Prague newspaper, of
an artist determined to kill him
self and yet could not succeed
until he partook of "war sub
stitute' stew in restaurant. This
tired-of-life man of middle age
procured portion of violent
poison and took deadly dose
that is. it would have been
deadly if it had been deadly.
But death refused to come. The
contents of the vial was ana
lyzed and was found to contain
harmless "war substitute poi
son. The desperate man then pro-
cured rope and proceeded to
hang himself. But the rope was
made Of paper and pulp-anoth-
er "war substitute and broke
leaving him full of life.
The would-be suicide began to
feel that the Fates had de-
creed that he should live. In
the joy of the thought he repair
ed to restaurant and ordered
and ate an alleged stew. 1T
was "war substitute stew. In
two hours he was dead.
This may be true story. And
yet it may be the snake-story
season in Prague.

ANOTHER LARGE CROWD
HEARS EVANGELIST

The union evangelistic meetings
at the Baptist church drew another
large audience last night. The big
chorus choir under the direction Of
Prof. Gilmore is a thriller" and
how they did sing!
Solos, duets and trios added to the
work of the chorus, made last nights
meeting worth going miles to attend.
That man Smith was right on the
job with another 'red-hot" message
for them that do and for them that
don't do business for the Lord"
Mr. Smiths subject tonight will
be 1.-THE Lordshfp of Jesus" and he
announces that it will be his most
important sermon for processing
Christians. The evangelist will sing
his text.
Tomorrow will be Bible day. At
o'clock in the afternoon Smith will
speak on "How to Study the Bible
for Growth"
Smith says he is going to talk for
the benefit of the honest doubter Fri
day night on the subject, May We
Know That the Bible is True"

after II O'Clock at the close of a
debate that had lasted continually
since 10 O'Clock in the morning. The
climax was reached late in the af-
ternoOn when senator John Sharp
Williams denounced the speech by
Senator La Toilette as more worthy
Of Herr Won Bethmann-Hollweg than
Of an American senator.
Gravity Evident.
The passage of the resolution was
not marked by any outburst from the
galleries and on the floor the sena-
tors themselves were unusually
grave and quiet. Many of them an
ewercd TO their names in voices that
quivered with emotion:
DIPLOMATS Present.
The galleries were filled to over
flowing. In the diplomatic gallery
was Secretary Lansing, Counsellor
Polk of the state department, Minis
ter Calderon of Bolivia and Minister
Ekengren of Sweden.
Earlier in the evening DR.. Ritter,
the Swiss minister in charge of Ger
man interests in this country, had
been there.
Secretary McAdoo was on the floor
during the last few hours of the de-
bate.
Crowd is Awed.
AS the last name was called and
the clerk announced the vote, 81 to
6, there was hardly a murmur Of ap-
plause.
The great crowd was awed by the
solemnity of the occasion and sobered
by the speeches they had heard.
After the vote the senate adjourn

"WORTHY OF GERMAN
CHANCELLOR" R0ARS
SENATOR WILLIAMS;
VOTE STANDS g TO 6
(By United Press)

Washington, April Soon after
convening at 10 o'clock this morn
ing the house Of congress went into
Ia committee of the whole ION state
of union'' to bring up the war reso-
luton and debate it. The length Of
time Of the debate caused the first
wrangle.,
Representative Harrison, democrat
ic leader of the committee, spoke Of
"going to war in defense of the
rights of humanity" and that the
charge Of going to war for the bene-
fit of profit and interest of ammuni-
ton manufacturers" was "dispicable
and un-American.
Chairman Flood stirred the house
when he declared war is being made
upon the United States unjustly. Its
ships are being sunk and citizens
murdered. There is no choice. We
are compelled by the German gov
ernment to enter the war;"
Washington, April 5.-The reso-
luton declaring that a state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany was passed in the senate
last night by an overwhelming ma
jority of 80 to 6. 1t will be taken
up for passage in the house today.
Roll of Dish or,
Senators who cast the negative
votes were:
Gronna of North Dakota.
La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Norris of Nebraska.
Lane of Oregon.
Stone of Missouri.
Vardaman of Mississippi.
The resolution now goes to the
house, where debate begun this
morning at 10 o'clock, to continue
until action is taken.
Senator McCumber's substitute to
declare the existence Of a state OF
war upon the sinking of another Am
erican ship by Germany, was de-
feated without a roll call.
Williams Answer.
Senator La Toilette concluded his
speech at GAS o'clock after speak
ing three hours. Senator John Sharp
Williams rose to reply.
Senator La Toilette said the SEN
timent of the poor against war would
make itself heard. He also said that
I'VE have not a leg to stand on to
support this war declaration" and
that Germany has been very pa
tient''
Senator Williams, beginning his
reply, declared:
The speech of the Wisconsin
senator would better have be-
come Bethmann-H -Hollweg than
an American SENATOR"
He said he expected the Wisconsin
senator to defend the invasion of
Belgium and called the speech pro-
German, pro-Goth, pro-Vandal and
anti-president, anti-congress and
anti-American.
The Resolution.
The resolution. drafted after con-
sultation with the state department
and already accepted by the house
committee, says the state of war
thrust upon the United States by
Germany is formally declared, and
directs the president to employ the
entire military and naval forces and
the resources of the government to
carry on the war and bring it to a
successful termination.

The meeting was presided over by

Mr.. Wedge acting as secretary.

Loud Speaks Plainly.
There were several brief patriotic
expressions uttered, most interest
ing address being that of H. J. Loud,
6Ct1nE JuuSc VI IuS S'uuulClpdl COuA l.
Mr.. Loud advocated many things
for the benefit of Bemidji in the pres
.ent crisis and called attention to Ger
tain things often discussed but never
brought to a focus, and they will be
taken up with the proper authori-
ties and discussed for proper action.
They are:
Prohibiting public meetings at
which disloya1ty is advocated or
the government, its officers, its
army or navy are held up to ridi-
cule or obloquy, or aid, comfort
or encouragement are given to
the public enemy.
Prohibiting the posting of bills
except by a licensed bill poster,
who shall post no objectional
