Edison Tolls on War Devices.

Washington. April 6.-Somewhere on
the seaboard, guarded from prying
eyes, Thomas A Edison and little
group of super-inventors are working
hard-plotting Germany's downfall.
Just what the brain children are
just how far they will upset all past
methods of warfare-and just how far
the German government will come to
fear this little group of workers, is yet
to be revealed. Other than a small
inner circle of governmental experts
their activities are known to no one.

Washington, April 6-The United
States is now formally enlisted among
the belligerents in the great war, for
congress has adopted the resolution
declaring q state of war between this
country and Germany, brought on by
the imperial governments repeated
hostile acts.
The senate was the first to act on
the war resolution and adopted it by a
vote of SO to 6. The six senators who
voted against the resolution for war
were:
AISLE J. eRoNNA, Republican,
North Dakota.
HARRY LANE, Democrat, Oregon.
r. M. LA TOILETTE, Republican,
Wisconsin.
c. w. NORRIS, Republican, Ne
braska.
WILLIAM J. STONE, Democrat,
Missouri.
J. X. VARDAMAN, Democrat, Mis-
sIssippi.
There were eight senator's absent or
paired. They were: Bankhead, Golf.
Gore, Hollis. Newlands. Smith Of
Maryland, Thomas, and T11lman. OF
those absent it was announced that all
except Senator Gore of Oklahoma
against the resolution were members
would have voted for the resolution If
present.
All six of the senators who voted
against the resolution were members
Of the group of twelve which de-
feated the armed neutrality bill at the
last session. There was no attempt
to filibuster this time, however.
Thirteen Hour Debate.
Thirteen hours of heated debate
preceded the vote. Party lines dis
appeared in this discussion and Repub-
licans joined with Democrats in sound
Ing the call to the nation to support
the president unitedly.
The little group opposed to the reso-
tuition drew fire from every side. Sem
ator La Toilette, defending Germany
and heaping blame upon England, was
Informed by Senator Williams that DR..
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the German
chancellor, would have made the same
speech in the reichstag had he been
lmbued with sufficient effrontery.
Senator Norris, charging that the
United States Is going to war at the
behest of the munition barons of Wall
street, drew from Senator Reed the re-
tort that such an accusation is sal
most treason
The assertion that the nation was 60
ing to war on the demand of gold, he
said, was "an Indictment of the presi-
dent of the United States, an indict-
ment of congress, of the American peo-
pie, and of the truth"
1.-THE president is not calling Amer
lea to arms for the sake Of few
paltry dollars" Senator Reed contin-
ued, ''but for the life, honor, and In

introduced by Hitchcock.
In introducing the resolution into
the senate, Senator Hitchcock made a
brief statement In which he said that
the present time was one "for action,
not discussion"
1.-THE time for discussion has
passed." he said. 1.-THE president has
stated clearly. effectively, more con-
clusively the reasons which make this
grave step necessary. The resolution
provides for war against the imperial
German government. 1t places re-
