We are in favor OF anything that

Leading Citizens
Assail Defeat of
Armed Ship Bill
Wilson Is Urged by Many
to Call Special Session
Immediately

Representative citizens Of New
York condemned in no hesitating
terms last night the domineering
dozen who killed the armed neutrality
bill in the Senate with their flibus-
ter. While most pacihsts hailed the
action as a glorious victory and
George Sylvester Viereek boldly an
nounced that the defeat of the sew
enty-six Senators by the dozen was a
triumph for democracy, DR.. George w.
Kirchwey, president OF the American
Peace Society, said that Congress had
made mistake and failed to heed the
will Of the majority.
DR.. Kirchwey's language, though
significant as coming from the head
OF a paeiAst organization, was mild
in comparison TO the views expressed
by many. Henry A. Wise Wood was
one Of the most bitter critics of the
flibuster, asserting that the pacifists
were "Mr. Wilson's legitimate chill
dren" and that the President should
now realize the "damnable, treason
able" nature OF the brood.
II soon would be evident 10 the
President and 30 the country, MIR.
Wood asserted, that the pacifsts wero

President would take immediate steps

DR.. Kirchway called the non passage

and Of the people TO uphold the Presi-

Sacrificed Their Hats.

Many years ago the master butchers
OF Washington market, in New York
city, used to kick their hats about the
market at the close of business on Sat-
urday night. Under the custom in the
market it was considered a sighting of
the profession for any butcher not to
appear behind his counter with high
hat, and it was thought bad taste If the
meat seller at the end of prosperous
week failed to destroy the hat. The
apprentice butchers couldn't afford silk
headgear and SO used to gather up the
broken hats and repair them for their
own use.
