Greater Americanism," said Rev.

people who talk patriotism. 1t needs
people who act patriotism. Your voice
cannot help the country. Your actions
can do much when properly directed.
'Undiluted patriotism Is not standing
up when the Star-Spangled Banner is

Government active aid when danger

He is still in control of affairs at

IN all the hustle and hustle that
swamps Washington when Congress
convenes. two factors stood out pre-
eminent last night forty-eight hours
before the House and Senate meet.
The first is that in a more marked
degree than at any time aimee war
was declared. the war Congress will
wait the wishes of the President.
And the other is that. once under
way. both branches are going to stage
a bitter and hard-fousht night on one
administration policy-the policy OF
raising war revenue by bond sales tc
the exclusion of taxation methods
This fight. it was predicted may be the
onlv one made on an administration
measure. but il will be warm enough
TO make up for the lack of others.
No Committee BustEe.
Ordinarily. before Congress con.
venes, several committees arrive early
and make advance plans to avoid leg
islatfve delays. This year no commit
tees have met. and practically moth
ing has been done. President Wilson

BITTER REPLY
TOLANSDOWNE
The President Will Answer
Peace Letter in Speech
Before Congress.

Twenty -four hours of consideration
of the letter Of the Marquis of Lands
downe leads officials here to regard it
as OF lessening Importance in itself.
A prediction was made here yester-
day. however, that it would give
President Wilson a rare opportunity
when he addresses Congress on Tues
Gay. 1t is predicted:
/. That the allies will leave the task
Of answering the Marquis of Lands
downe to President Wilson.
2 That the war doctrine OF the
United States will again be outlined
in a way to bring home to the German
People that the liberal principles set
forth by both Landsdowne and the
President constitute the aims of the
entente, but that they cannot be ne
peTal government.
Letter Denounced.
The President, 1t is pointed out. Is
scheduled to deliver an epochal state
ment Of the war status of the United
States at that time. In it he can in
clude words which. while not referring
directly to the letter of the aged
British statesman. will show how the
position OF the United States and the
allies comedies with and how 1t diff
fers from the Landsdowne platform.
The denunciation Of the Landsdowne
program has already been so fierce i'll
British official and press quarters that
il has been made clear that his let
ter does not represent ~ willingness
of England to compromise with the
Kaiser.
1t was pointed out here today that
for any OF the great leaders OF the
entente to engage in a word due,
with Lord Lansdowne or to take is
sue with him on the sentiments OF
liberalism so surprising in a Tory
as notorious as Lansdowne, would
be to encourage the very spirit OF
junkerism in Germany which the
entente must crush to win the war
and which feeds on it's perturbation
of the entente as bloodthirstily de-
termined on the annihilation of Ger.
many.
There is no real quarrel here with
the principles which the Marquis OF
Landsdowne puts forward. There Is
a quarrel, however. with his appar'
ent belief that these principles car
be put into practice through peace
negotiations with the present Ger
man government.
In view of this distinction, 1t Is
considered quite possible that Presi-
dent Wilson will make the same an.
swer that he did to the Pope, bdt
that it will be couched in terms oil
far greater asperity.
