and Independence
The Spirit of Americanism. ac-
cording to the Interpretation of
Judge Neil, found it's inception in
the declaration of independence, in
the statement that all men are Gre
ated equal and endowed with certain
inalienable rights, including life. lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness. 1t
has grown and developed, but not
fast enough or to great enough de-
gree Judge Neill urged the gradu-
ates to become i'm bued with that
spirit, to carry it with them, and to
put it to practical use through serv-
ice. with or without sacrifice. direct
ly or indirectly, to humanity and to
the nation, without regard to per-
sonal gain or personal comfort
That resolve, he said. will materially
assist in the development of the
Spirit of Americanism.
In connecting the Spirit of
Americanism" with the present ma
tional crisis, Judge Neill said:
The natural development of the
spirit of patriotism has taken us into
this war Had we failed to enter, at
the time we did and under the cir
cumstances it would have been
equivalent to surrender of this
great national spirit--the soul of
the nation-and an indication that
the United States was only geo
graphical unit with no purpose for
its existence except to make money
out of the misfortunes of others.
The speaker quoted from Presi-
dent Wilson's war messages and
pointed to the passages quoted as "A
concrete expression of the Spirit of
Americanism.

What estate of War" Is.

Exchange.
A declaration of war" by one ma
ton against another is an outright
announcement that one intends to
wage. war on the other. The declara-
ton is formally sent to the enemy s
government. Ususally the response
bility for the war, such case lies
with the nation declaring it.
The United States has engaged in
four foreign wars. but never has
declared war in any of these cases
nor has any nation ever declared war
against the United States.
State of war; was declared to
exist in 1912 with Great Britain, in
1916 with Mexico and in 1898 with
Spain. A declaration of indepen-
dence brought on the war of IT'S.
stState of war" means that the
country recognizing such condition
believes it has been attacked, war Is
being waged against it, and it is nee
essary for national defense and Sc
curity to fight back.
Recognition OF a "state OF war
places the responsibility for the war
and it's consequences upon the other
nation.

Washington, April 1.-THE United
States will enter no entangling alll-
ances
Agreements there will be, but they
must be flexible.
In the midst of the maze OF dlplo-
matte negotiations with the entente
allies for Americas most efficient
prosecution of the war against Ger
many, high officials OF the government
tonight declared that, whatever ar
rangements may be made for the CO.
operation of Germany's enemies, this
government shall retain entire free
dom to fight as long and as enerset-
ically as she pleases.
Efforts on the part of some members
of congress, government otHclals'
both here and elsewhere, to bring
about formal alliance between the
United States and the entente for the
duration of the war met with sllgnt
encouragement among the members
of President Wilson's official family.
Following the cabinet meeting late
today, it was stated that the attitude
of this government could properly be
summed up as follows:
The United States was not drawn
into the war because of any alliance.
She entered it to fight for 1.-The prin-
ciples of humanity and until those
principles have been firmly re-estao-
lished nothing can stop or alter this
government. There has been no wa
vering at any point and there will be
none.
Whether the entente allies have
made any movement toward bringing
about an alliance with the United
States for the period Of the war is ull-
known. Widespread discussion of the
coming of the commissions from the
entente nations has touched largely
upon the proba bility of some form
of alliance with the United States, but
officials Of the government say no
definite proposals have been consid-
| cred.

Those who feel that We are turh-

tary principle seem to forget that

great field CT individual enthusiasm

bill without material changes. The

military committe submitted his IA
F., vorable report today.
After calling attention to the fact
that the selective draft has been rec
ognized by "a world in arms" as the
only adequate and effectual' method
of raising an army, the report says
the bill provides through means OF
recruiting the regular army and the
National Guard for absorbing more
than 100000 volunteers.
Thus happily it says, 1.-The bill
while establishing and placing the
national dependence upon the almost
universally approved system of draft
at the same time accommodates itself
to such volunteer spirit"
Plenty of Room.
It says the opportunity for vol
unteer army is greater than ever be-
fore offered in one piece OF leg1sia-
ton.
s'The volunteer method has never
proved adequate and effectual for ma
tional needs and will prove far less
so now" the report says. History
shows that much to our aetriment we
have begun our wars with this made
ouate and Intellectual method and
have brought them to successful
conclusion only by resort to sys-
tenn based on proper principles. the
volunteer method failed this nation IN
the Revolution and it was only the
/ material aid of France that gave us
our independence. 1t failed US in the
War of 1912. 1t failed the Confed-
eracy in the Civil war and that gov

tion headquarters Will De tne FlrsS

ton to offering the auditorium for the

thorities have requested the prl71-
lege of entertaining during the con-
vention all former students OF that
institution.
Within one week all necessary ar

ed, it is believed for making this the
greatest Sunday School convention

WILL CONFINE ACTIVITY
TO LEGISLATION FOR WAR

Washington, April 29.-Democrats
of the house in caucus late today
agreed to consider at the present eA-
ira session only such war and gen.
eral defense legislation as may be
recommended by the president
National prohibition, which is be-
ing urged by it's advocates as a nee
essary measure, may be included un-
der this list, but unless the president
recommends it as a war measure 1t
will not be taken up.
It also is possible that rivers and
harbors bill embracing such proposed
Improvements as are deemed essential
by the war department for the ma
tional defense may be passed. The
caucus refused, by vote of II to n,
to approve either $33,000,000 or a
s15,00O.00O waterways bill, both OF
which were proposed by Chairman!
Small of the rivers and harbors COM
mtitee.
The caucus agreement was reached
only after bitter fight over prohibI-
ton and after several New York city
members had withdrawn because OF
the adoption of resolution providing
for consideration of a measure tt
authorize the president to prohibit
the manufacture or sale of liquor dur
ing the war. Such measure was in
troduced in the house today by Rep
resentative Howard of Georgia.
Amid great applause this proposal
made by Representative Dicher OF
Missouri, was carried, 81 to go. Then
the New York Democrats began u
, protest and walked out. Several de-
clared they would not be bound by
the caucus.
