country are hereby pledged by the con-
gress Of the United States"
All six senator's who voted against
the resolution were members of the
group of twelve which defeated the
armed neutrality bill. There was no
attempt to filibuster. Most of the
thirteen hours of debate was con

La Toilette Makes Long Speech.
Senator La Toilette began speech
against the war resolution Wednesday

OF about eight favorable to one of dis
approval. There were between $4,000
and 10000 of the letters and kilograms

Referring to the presidents asser-
ton that the German people were
thrown into war without an opportun-
ity TO say anything about it, the SEN
ator asked "Will the supporters of
this war bill have a vote on il before
it goes into effect? Unless they do
that, IL ill-becomes us to speak OF Ger

with emotion. The galleries were
filled to overlooking.
The war resolution as passed was
as follows:
Whereas. the imperial German
government has committed repeated
