FRANCE SALUTED BY, U. s. AS
PARTNER IN WARFARE.

Washington.-In response to Presi'
dent Poincare's congratulations upon
the entrance Of the United States into
the war, President Wilson sent this
message:
"In this trying hour, when the des-
TIMES of civilized mankind are in the
balance, 1t has been source of graft
fication and joy to me to receive
your congratulations upon the step
which my country has been con-
strained to take in opposition to the
relentless policy and course Of imper-
ialistic Germany.
"It is very delightful to us that
France, who stood shoulder to shoulder
with us of the Western world in our
struggle for independence, should now
give us such a welcome into the lists
of battle as upholders Of the freedom
and rights Of humanity.
eve stand as partners Of the noble
democracies whose aims and acts make
for the perpetuation of the rights and
freedm of man and for the safeguard,
ing Of the true principles Of human
liberties. In the name of the American
people, salute you and your illus
trious countrymen."

WAR ON THE ENEMY WITHIN THE
GATES.

Washington.-The nation has now
settled down to watch the fleet" as
President Wilson, his executive lieu
tenants and the Congress prepared for
the long drive to carry out the stu
pendous war plans which have been
agreed upon. The first real war
news" Washington believes, will come
from Somewhere in the Atlantic"
where the American grand feet is
under war orders shrouded in mystery.
No word as to the disposition Of
single unit of the fleet will be given
out at the Navy Department, Secre-
tary Daniels said, until there is definite
news of actual occurrences. The cen
sorship will be rigidly maintained un-
I'll an actual engagement Of some sort
has taken place, and even then the
announcement may be delayed. Mean
time Americas naval force is at sea
ready for action, whether it be against
the submarine menace that strikes in
the dark or German raiders skulking
in the byways of the Seven Seas.

Rio Janeiro.-A large number Of
students carrying the flags of Brazil
and the Entente Allies took part in a
demonstration today against Germany.
They visited the newspapers, where
patriotic speeches were delivered. A
demonstration also was carried out
against the German Consulate, the
students singing the Marseillaise.

situation created by the torpedoing of
the steamship Parana and presented

Santiago, Chile.-The Chilean peo-
pie are greatly disturbed by the course
OF events in Brazil in consequence of
the sinking by the Germans of the
Brazilian steamship Parana. The en-
trance of Cuba into the war and the
attitude of Panama have made deep
impression, and in political quarters
the belief is expressed that eventual
ly Chile will be compelled to join in
the war against Germany.

Early Action Expected.

Washington.-Early entrance of sew
eral of the South and Central Amer
ican nations into the war against Ger
many is regarded here as practically
certain. Brazil, aroused by the sink
ing of her steamship Parana, is ex-
pected to become belligerent this
week and it is assumed that her lead
will be followed promptly by other
countries.
Active support of the United States
by at least two of the five Central
American republics and possibly by
four would not be surprising.

Buenos Aires.-All the newspapers

States and Cuba into the war, pub
fishing pictures of President Wilson,
President Menocal and other prom

Prensa believes one important result
of Cuba's action will be to make i'm
possible the operation of German sub
marine and commerce raiders from
bases in the Antilles.

LATIN AMERICA LINING UP.

Lima, Peru.-The Peruvian press is

Brazilian steamship Parana, makes it
imperative for the nations of South
America to formulate common pol
icy.
This program, the newspapers say,
must be directed against Germany.

Washington, April 6.-The United
States is now formally enlisted among
the belligerents in the. great war, for
congress has adopted the resolution
declaring state of war between this
country and Germany, brought on by
the imperial governments repeated
hostile acts.
The senate was the first to act on
the war resolution and adopted 1t by
vote Of 80 to 6. The six senator's who
voted against the resolution for war
were:
AISLE J. eRoNNA, Republican,
North Dakota.

feated the armed neutrality bill at the
last session. There was no attempt
to filibuster this time. however.
Thirteen Hour Debate.
Thirteen hours of heated debate
preceded the vote. Party lines dis
appeared in this discussion and Repub-
licans joined with Democrats in sound
ing the call to the nation to support
the president unitedly.
The little group opposed to the reso-
luton drew fire from every side. SEN
ator La Toilette, defending Germany
and heaping blame upon England. was
Informed by Senator Williams that DR..
Won Bethmann-Hollweg the German
chancellor, would have made the same
speech in the reichstag had he been
imbued with sufficient effrontery.
Senator Norris, charging that the
United States is going to war at the
behest of the munition barons of Wall
street, drew from Senator Reed the re-
tort that such an accusation is "al-
most treason"
The assertion that the nation was 60
ing to war on the demand of gold. he
said, was ian indictment Of the presi-
dent of the United States, an indict-
ment of congress, of the American peo-
pie, and Of the truth"
'"The president is not calling Amer
lea to arms for the sake Of a few
paltry dollars" Senator Reed contin-
ued, ''but for the life. honor, and in
tegrity of this country"
Introduced by Hitchcock
In introducing the resolution into
the senate, Senator Hitchcock made
brief statement in which he said that
the present time was one "for action,
not discussion"
'"The time for discussion has
passed." he said. 1.-THE president has
stated clearly, effectively, more con-
clusively the reasons which make this
grave step necessary. The resolution
provides for war against the imperial
German government. 1t places re-

eyes, Thomas A. Edison and a little

hard-plotting Germany's downfall.
Just what the brain children are
just how far they will upset all past
methods of warfare-and just how far
the German government will come to
fear this little group of workers, is yet
to be revealed. Other than a small
inner circle of governmental experts
their activities are known to no one.

$4,000. 600, 900 To Allies.


Under this program Congress will be
called upon to raise war revenue to the
extent of $1,750,000,000 through new
and increased measures Of taxation dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80, 1918.
This is exclusive of the $4,000, O,00O,000
bond issue, authorization for which will
be sought Of Congress this week. Fhe
total demand upon the financial re-
sources Of the country during the first
year of war, under this program, would
be sc, 6,75o, 100000.
OF the $5,OO0,000,O00 to be raised by
q bond issue, $3,O00,0O0,00 would be
loaned to the Entente Allies. The en-
tire issue, House and Senate leaders
have agreed, will bear interest at the
rate of 81 per cent. 1t is proposed to
make the loan to the Allies at this
interest rate, which is lower by far
than the rate they have been compelled
to pay on their previous issues.
To Take No Chances.
After the Entente Governments have
been granted the loan, the plan is to
hold the remaining $2.O00,OO0, 900 of the
$4,000, 900 900, to be applied, as neces-
sary, on the cost of the military and
naval establishments and other war eX-
penses of the United States. Indica-
tions are that, with the new war reve-
nue. measures in effect, the full amount,
$4,000, 900, 900, would not be entirely
exhausted at the end OF the first year.
