MAY INCLUDE OTHERS.
Opening debate clearly showed that
sentiment in favor of including Bull
garia and Turkey among the enemies
of this country has not cooled despite
President Wilson's recommendation.
Representative Miller of Minnesota,
advocating immediate adoption of the
Austrian resolution, urged that Tur-
key and Bulgaria be included.
He secuted the idea that by with
holding such action the United States
might wean these countries from Ger
many"
INFORMATION TO BERLIN.
"The presence of the Bulgarian and
Turkish representatives in Washington
| Is a menace" Miller declared. MANY
allied diplomats feel this. Information
of our affairs is daily reaching Berlin.
How, l shall not attempt to say.
! "The Turkish sultan belongs on the
bosom of the German kaiser" Miller
shouted. "The Turks must live or die
with Germany. l hope they die with
| her."
NO SEPARATE PEACE.
Miller charged that failure of the
United States to supply Italy with
guns and war materials was delayed
for months because this country was
/ not at war with Austria and that much
of the italian disaster may be charged
against the United States.
| 1--WE cannot hope to separate Bull
garla and Turkey from Germany and
! Austria except by force of arms" said
Miller
1--WE must throw away this intellec-
tual theories and go in wholeheartedly
with our allies in common cause
against all of the enemy"
Miller, while emphatically demand
ing war on Bulgaria and Turkey de-
clared his Willingness to await the
presidents decision. He was repeat
edly applauded throughout his address
PLAY FOR TIME.
Possible intimation that the admin
istration's counsel against an immed-
late declaration against Bulgaria and
Turkey is in reality a play for time
until Americans in these countries car
leave If war should ultimately be de.
cided advisable, was given by Repre-
! sentative Flood, chairman of the house
foreign relations committee, who tool
the floor after Miller.
/ "a great number of Americans woult
, be in great danger should the United
r States declare war on Turkey at thi.
t time. If we are to declare war W,
Y must at least give them time to ge
: out" he said.
LESSER ALLIES WEAKENING.
At the same time enumerating rea
e sons why war declarations should b.
withheld Flood declared that his com
mittee has information that Germany
: lesser allies were weakening in thei
: support.
Flood here read to the house an in
terview of yesterday with Bulgarian
Minister Panaretoff. in which the en-
lwoy asked that the presidents mes
: sage to congress be transmitted to hi
II country
: He said there were particular
strong reasons why the United State
should remain on friendly terms wit
Bulgaria.
Denying that the presence in Wash
ington of the Bulgarian minister wa
a menace Flood emphasized that tn
Bulgarian legation could not communi
!. cate with Europe except through tn
state department.
" bulgaria Is not fighting for lust o
world conquest" he said
