adopting the war resolution asked by
President Wilson and picketing by DR..
David Starr Jordan and a committee
of the officers before the foreign affairs
committee of the House. were the out
standing features today of the pacifist
campaign.
DIR. Jordan was informed that the

could not be disturbed. The delegation
waited in the corridor to hand out
pacifist resolutions at the first oppor-
tunity.

to see the President yesterday and
again today to explain his attitude.
Issues a Statement.
Bannwart. his face marked with tiny
scars and his eye black as the result
of his encounter in the Capitol. fur
nished the following statement, con-
tanning the essential points of his re-
marks to his pacifist colleagues:
THE pacifists of the country have
won great victory. l heard President
Wilson deliver his unselfish, friendly
message. which some have called q
declaration of war. We are not going
to have the kind of a war the pro-
allies and the militarists expected, and
the paciflsts feared. This war will not
be a backfire against democracy. Wealth
will be conscripted, and no war debt
will remain for future generations tc
stagger under. 1t Is war against "a
government that has run amuck The
Presidents message will give the Ger
man people the courage and vision &c
overthrow that government.
With democracy in control peace will
result. There will follow a world nation
all parts of which will be jealous of
peace for all and special privilege for
none, whether national or individual II
is joyous privilege to enter upon such
war. 1t is the duty of pacifists and
militarists to keep the war on the high
plane Wilson has placed it and wage II
in the spirit of Christ, Lincoln and Will
son. Our only danger is that selfish in
terests who have urged war with hate
in their hearts may prevail. Thank God
We have Wilson to thwart them"
