been heard from and California has not
been silent. Senator Works, of Cali
fornia, who made a prepared speech
against the Presidents action In break
ing off diplomatic relations with Ger
many and was one Of the five Senators
who voted against approval, has re-
ceived kilograms approving Of his posi-
ton.
A letter received by a member of the
Senate last week from one of the most
prominent lawyers in Minnesota made
the fat declaration that if the Presi-
dent attempted TO follow his diplomatic
break with hostilities there would be
an uprising of the people in that sec
tion OF the country.
Mr.. Wilson and his advisers are
alarmed by the pacifst agitation. But,
his friends say, the President has made
up his mind, and his caution is based
only upon his desire TO avoid forcing
hostilities.
