England were against war on the
| colonies
(which would you rather do fight
Germany now with France and Great
Britain and Russia or fight her alone
| later? You've got to one or the other"
Referring to the Wisconsin senator's
statement that the United States has
| nothing to lose no matter which side
wins the war Senator Williams said:
Let's see, have we no honor no re-
ard for the future sovereignty of our
ountry, no regard for our flag? Is
ointment rot is patriotism rot; is
| here nothing precious except money?
I'm getting tierd of this talk that
this is a Well Street war. That's lie.
VIII Street did not sink the Lusitanit

ships I'm tired Of lies like that AMI
| think it is the duty of the American
congress and people to brand them as

Senator Williams said the resolution
did not propose that the United States
inter the war but that it go into an
merican war to protect American
rights and for the sake of honor, JUS
tee safety liberty and equality. Once
II war, he declared, the United States
aould stay until it become assured
| that the houses of HohenZollern and
lapsburg would no longer reign in

| Senator Husting, Senator La Fol-
| cites Wisconsin colleague, said that
While every senator should have
mind of his own and speak on his own
convictions, in times of this kind the
onduct of international affairs must

ton here. The question is shall the

Il wish | could vote against war 1t
oWuld ease my mind and conscience to
vote against any war, but the ques-
ton Is not whether We want war, it is
whether or not we are in war;
Referring to "hyphenate' activities,
! Senator Husting said:
Societies and leagues have been
| formed to exalt everything that is
German and denounce everything
American. We find newspapers de-
| nouncing the president There is
ching too infamous for them to say
II also has been talked in the shops
and on the farm. Everything Germany

| Gas been exalted"
/ Senator Hitchcock, in charge of the
resolution for the president in place of
! Senator Stone, who would not support
it, declared that, as much as he wished
and had worked to avoid war, he could
not vote against the resolution.
Senator Lodge, ranking republican of
the foreign relations committee, pledg-
ing the support of the republicans to
the president, called ON the government
to seize all German ships in American
waters to replace those destroyed by
/ submarines, and in passionate terms
called on the government not to con-
duct a half war;

when the ,var-mad autocracy that
now rules Germany has been chas
tened or overthroWn, ties of friendship
now severed will lie reunited. The
clock of national patriotism now
strikes for each of us in our hour of
work and responsibility"
Senator Lodge ranking republican of
the foreign relations committee, spoke
after Senator Swanson.
No one is more conscious than I
that this is a moment for action and
not for debate said Lodge, but [
wish briefly to state why l support i
with the greatest earnestness of
which I am capable.
THE most momentous power en-
trusted 20 congress by the constitu-
ton IS ;he authority to declare war,
and never has congress been called
to a moro solemn exercise of this
great power than at this moment
We have submitted to wrongs and
outrages from the central powers of
Europe with a long patience. We
have borne and forborne to the very
limit OF endurance. Now the newt
able end is here and We are about to
declare war against Germany
Speaking for myself, and l hope, for
my associates generally on this side of
the chamber, / desire to say that in this
crisis and when the country is at war,
party lines will disappear and this dis
appearance of the party line will, | am
confident, not be confined to the min
GRITTY. Both democrats and republicans
must forget party in the presence of a
common danger.
I'VE have only a Verv small army
and we must proceed at once as rapidly
as possible to build up a large one. fit
to defend the country in anv emer
gency. Our navy is strong in certain
branches andevery weak in others. 1t
must be our business to supply the de-
ficiencies as rapidly as possible For-
tunately these difficulties are of a kind
which can be most quickly suppnea.
THE president has said that war
will involve the utmost practicable CO.

the governments now at war with

sible be added to theirs. I am not only
in agreement with this policy addressed
by the president, but it SENS to me
that nothing is more important than
to follow it out.
Il am a thorough believer in the
general policy laid down by Washing
ton when he said the people of the
United States must not enter perma-

American revolution through the alli-
ance with France would have been the
last to lay down hard and fast rule

IT WAS VERY GOOD COAL.
That II Was Spiced With Gunpowder
Made 1t All the Better.

In reviewing his early life in Con-
stantinople Sir Edwin Pears tells an
amusing story of a coal contractor who
was supplying the British fleet with
fuel. A cOmmissariat officer on one Oc-
casion went to him to say that man
of-war had just arrived in the Bos-
porus and was ordered to proceed to
the Crimea with distinguished officers
on board, but it was short of coal.
The contractor answered that one of
his small sailing vessels had just ar
rived laden with a cargo of coal and
that he would arrange to have it dis
charge the fuel directly ON board the
man-Of-War.
a day or two later when the contrac-
tor saw his manager he asked what
had been done with about ninety kegs
the top of the coal.
ooh, we found all the kegs empty"
said the manager. 'There was no pow
der to remove"
During the next three weeks the
contractor lived in constant dread He
the Crimea would bring news of an
explosion on the man-of-war and an
order for his arrest. He became i'll
from anxiety.
One day, fortnight later, he heard
with fear and trembling from his inner
Office the voice of the commissariat
officer asking to see the merchant who
had supplied the ship with coal. He
put on a bold face and went out
eyes, you're the man." said the COM
missariat officer in loud voice. 'You
gave US 800 tons of coal It's the best
we have ever had. Instead of our
having to stop the ship while we clear
ed the tunnels whenever there is a new
firing up the smoke goes with a puff
that clears the funnel itself. I want
300 tons more; but, mind, it must be
of the same quality"

Poisonous Snakes.

Poisonous snakes have diamond
shaped head, about four times larger
at the jawbone than at the neck, and
,harp tails All snakes, however, are
poisonous during the shedding pc
rod OF seven days. They go blind two
days before shedding. The ella Oro-
nounce hee-la) monster is so called on
account of being found near the ella
river in Arizona and New Mexico. It's
bite is deadly, and it is much feared
by the Indians, as no remedy is known
for the bite. They are peculiar crea-
lures, having the shape Of large liz
ard, with feet marked like those of a
monkey. Some scientists say that the
bite Of the ella monster is not poison
Gus in itself, but that if it's breath is
blown ON a person with weak heart,
the person will faint away for an In
definite time In captivity the ella
monster is fed on warm milk and chop
ped meat every six weeks.-Wide

A Freak of Death Valley.

Saratoga springs is one of the freaks
of Death valley and has probably
caused more profanity than anything
else in the region. The waters are as
clear as crystal, and they bubble up
from a deep, sand basin like we'll

impregnated with sulphur and other
minerals, are tepid in temperature and
act instantly like an emetic upon any
one who drinks them.-Exchange

OUR FIRST DREADNAUGHTS.
And the Paper Battleship the U. S. S.
Scared o. ~ othi.1o.


One of the most interesting episodes
in Vice Admiral Sims career was his
championship in the years 1904 of
the all big gun ships, the dreadnaughts.
This was two years before the British
brought out their first dreadnaught,
reyOlutionizing the naval construction
policy Of the world. The progenitor of
the dreadnaught idea in the American
navy was Lieutenant Homer G. Pound
stone. POundstone for months had
treasured the idea of all big gun ships,
hoping TO win the support OF the navy
for such a construction change. Meet
ing encouragement, he sought out
Commander Sims. He quickly won
Sims support.
Poundstone was good craftsman,
and he and Sims in 1903 and 1904 made
sketches and drew plans for a big gun
ship. The navy heads vetoed the plan
Of the two officers as often as they
brought it up for consideration, but
Sims never abandoned the idea. The
ship became great joke around the
navy department. 1t is striking CO.
incidence that the name given by these
two officers to their paper battleship
and the name by which the ship was
known in the navy Offices was the
u. S. S. Scared-o' Nothing. Two years
afterward the British admiralty called
it's first all big gun ship Dreadnaught.
Commander Sims convinced Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the dreadnaught
was bound to come. AS a result the
plans for the battleships Michigan and
South Carolina, which had already
been authorized to be built in the old
way, were changed SO that they slid
from the ways the first American
dreadnaughts.-Wo Work.
