and PACIF|CISTS
STORM CAPITAL

Washington, April 2.-Pacifist and
anti-pacifist pilgrims besieged official
Washington today in an eleventh hour
effort to influence congress toward
their respective views of impending
war with Germany. Street parading
was denied by police order, but the
program of each called for inorganic
ed sidewalk professions to the capitol,
where senators and representatives
might be canvassed for their peace or
war ideas. N u
simultaneously. thousands of tele-
grams from all parts of the country
poured in upon the capitol and White
House, either praying for peace or
urging drastic action to uphold Ameri-
can rights and honor.
Most pacifists came here from New
York and other cities under the di-
rection of the Emergency Peace fed
Grafton.
The anti-pacifists calling themselves
"Pilgrims of Patriotism" came from
a number of eastern cities, MARSHALL
ed by New York citizens commit
tee.

duced in both houses, declaring the
existence of state of war, and di-
recting the president to employ all
the resources Of the country to carry
on war against the imperial German
government and bring the conflict to
successful conclusion.
Because OF the opposition to the
measure of Senator Stone, chairman
of the foreign relations committee, the
resolution was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Martin of Virginia. the
Democratic floor leader. Represent
tative Flood, chairman of the foreign
affairs committee Of the house, intro
duced the resolution in the house.
The resolution was referred to the
foreign affairs committees Of the two
houses, and adjournment until to-
morrow followed soon afterward. Both
committees will meet tomorrow morn
ing
The resolution is as follows:
"A joint resolution, declaring that
state of war exists between the i'm
perial German government and the
government and people Of the United
States, and making provisions to
prosecute the same:
Whereas, the recent acts Of the
imperial government are acts of war

of representatives Of the United
States. in congress assembled, that
the state of war between the United
States and the imperial German gov
eminent which has thus been thrust
upon the United States is hereby
formally declared, and that the presi-
dent of the United States is hereby
authorized and directed to take i'm
mediate steps not only to put the
country in thorough state Of de-
Tense, but also to exert all of its
power and employ all of it's resources
to carry on the war against the Ger
man government, and to bring the
conflict to a successful termination"
Senate administration leaders have
planned to have the foreign relations
committee promptly report the war
resolution at tomorrow mornings
meeting, if possible, and bring it at
once before the senate, without wait
ing for action in the house. Senator
Hitchcock, ranking Democratic men,
Der of the committee, probably will
manage the debate as spokesman for
the majority, as Senator Stone, chair
man of the committee, has announced
his opposition to the measure.
Prompt action also is expected of
the house committee and debate under
the house rules for specially limited
debate may beg in there tomorrow aft

S. Give Edalf Billion to
France.

Washington, April 2.-National de-
Tense measures and pills for patriotic
purposes predominated among the
great number of bills introduced in
congress today and tonight.
One of the first was by Representa-
tive Kahn of California to provide for
universal military training for men
between IS and o.
A bill proposing the sale of postal
saving bonds in denominations of 81
to 500 was introduced by Represen-
tative Howard of Georgia, designed to
enable patriotic men and women to

Wrongs Against Human Life.
Referring only briefly to the long
diplomatic correspondence with Ger
many in his efforts to bring her back
to the bounds of laws of humanity
and nations, the president launched
unto his denunciation of the course
of the German government, which he
declared had forced the United States
to become a belligerent
"The wrongs against which we now
arm ourselves" he said, "are no conf
mon wrongs. They cut to the very
root of human life"
Disclaiming any quarrel with the
German people and anything but feel
ings of friendship and sympathy for
them, he declared their government
had not acted upon their impulses in
entering the war, nor with their
previous knowledge or approval.
1T was war;" he said, deter
mined upon as wars used to be de-
termined upon in the old, unhappy
days, when people were nowhere con-

peace and justice against selfish and
autocratic power" without selfish
aims for conquest or dominion, seek
ing no indemnities or material comp
ensation for the sacrifices it shall
make. The United States must enter

handled in training.
Raising necessary money for the

without borrowing, and on the basis
of equitable taxation.

urged, should be made in such way
as not to check the flow of war sup

rams
Whether the Aztec fought a losing
battle with an undersea adversary
has not been disclosed. Her owners

chance to fight, because she was sunk

fear that the gunners on the Aztec

it was recalled that the Cunard
liner Laconia, sent to the bottom off
the Irish coast on February rs, was

then was seen.
