PACIFISY QUARTERS
PAINTED YELLOW
Campaign to Discourage En-
istments Causes Great In
dignation at Capital.
SEVERAL SMALL RIOTS

Washington, April 3.--A National
Guardsman Of the Third district OF
Columbia infantry. backed by party
of citizens, covered the front Of the
headquarters Of the Emergency Peace
Federation here with coat of yellow
paint today while another party OF
citizens destroyed pacihst banners
and literature inside,
Pacifst delegations here today
turned their energies toward trying
to persuade senator's and representa-
tives from voting for the state Of war
resolution asked by President Wilson.
They also began campaign apparent
ly designed to prevent enlistments in
the army and navy. Declarations were
circulated by persons calling them
selves representatives of no-enlist-
ment league.
Disorders Of yesterday, including
several fist fights and small riots in
the headquarters of the Emergency
Peace Federation in Pennsylvania
avenue resulted in the disappearance
Of many of the arm bands and body
banners worn by the pacihsts.

British Press Praises Spirit
OfPresident Wilson's Address

London, April 5.-Under the heads
Brothers in Arms" the Pall>Mall
Gazette says today of President Will
sons speech:
THE president frames the issue in
a setting calculated to stir the deepest
emotions of the American people.
The Russian revolution enables him
to commend it to them as conflict
between the virtues of democracy and
the crimes of autocracy.
America enters the war without
reservations. Its action will be well
coined both for the substantial aid
which it will bring and for the COM
munity of spirit which it will further
among the free nations of the world.
1t is a great satisfaction to join with
a nation carrying so much of our
blood in a crusade worthy Of its best
traditions and ours"
The Globe says:
German statesmen have scornfully
affected to regard the entrance of the
United States as negligible. We can
safely leave them TO find out their
mistake. In the meantime we are
content to staid shoulder TO shoulder
Omaha daily bee., 1917-04-04

with the land of the free in the great
est battle for freedom the world has
ever seen."
In a long editorial the Evening
Standard says:
"The German government has done
a very mad thing in forcing the United
States into the ranks of its enemies" !"
1t argues that until yesterday
Germany could have obtained peace
by abandoning submarine warfare, in
asmuch as "the strong pacifst ele-
ment in the United States would have
overruled the wiser party which rec
nizes Prussia as the enemy OF man
kind, who must be disabled if the
world is to enjoy peace"
The Standard then says that Ger
many, in bringing the crushing mate
rial and moral force of the great
republic against it was acting on only
two possible theories: First, that Ger
many contemplates a surrender and
that its pride demands that it sur
render only to the whole world; Sec
ond, that it means a desperate stalk
ing of all OH the chance of starving
England by its submarine campaign.

LLOYD GEORGE TO
DISCUSS U. s. STEP
Will Make Reference to Entry
of America Into War if
Congress Moves.
BRINGS JOY TO BRITAIN

London, April Sit is understood
that Premier Lloyd George proposes
to attend the session of the House of
Commons tomorrow for the purpose
of making reference to the entry
of the United States into the war if
today's congressional debate justifies
such action.
London. March 3.-A storm of ap-
plause was aroused in TIL House of
Commons today by mention of Pres
ident Wilson's address to congress.
Henry Dalziel asked Chancellor Bonar
Law whether he was in position to
give any information as to the de-
cision OF the American congress in
regard to war. Mr.. Bonar Law re-
plied:
~ have just received telegram
from our ambassador III Washington
in which, after referring to the speech
of President Wilson, he adds that IN
his opinion it was we'll received by
congress and he expected the author
ity asked fo would be given"
When President Wilson's name was
mentioned the members applauded
and they cheered again when the
chancellor told them what the am
bassador had cabled.
The text of President Wilson's ad-
dress to congress with lorg accounts
of the, scenes attendant upon its de-
livery re-pub1fsred m the noon edi-
tions of the evening papers under big
headlines such as Americas Weight
Into the Scale" "An Indictment of
Hohenzollernism," "Thc United States
at War;" Money and Munitions for
the Allies"
The Westminster Gazette says:
"The stirring words with which the
presidents address closes should re-
move all hope on the enemy's part and
all fear on the part of the allies that
America, having made its choice, will
pursue it hali-heartedly. 1t comes as
a great ally, with immense reserves of
man power to be used as it tells us.
without stint, to supplement and for
tify the heavily drained resources Of
the other nations who are fighting in
the same cause"

HOUSE COMMITTEE WAITS

| Washington, April 3.--The way
was cleared on both sides of the cap
itol today for prompt enactment OF
the administration resolution declar-
ing state of war exists with Ger
many and directing the president TO
prosecute it with all the nations re-
sources to a successful termination.
Baked by Senator La Toilette in
their effort to have the resolution
taken UP Immediately after it had
been reported from the foreign rela-
tons committee, senate leaders de-
cided to begin tomorrow at 10 o'clock
session to continue until vote is
taken. Letters signed by Senator
Martin and Senator Gallinger. re-
spectively, the democratic and repub-
, lican leaders, went to each senator
tonight, announcing the plan for
continuous session.
Likely to Be Delay.
If the leaders can hold quorum,
as they were able to do in the closing
hours OF the last session on the armed
neutrality bill, it is probable that there
will be no action until late tomorrow
night or Thursday morning. 1t is not
expected there will be any attempt to
filibuster, but no one knew tonight
how many senator's would speak.
Adoption of the resolution by the
house before tomorrow night is pre-
dicted by the foreign affairs commit
tee. The committee will meet in the
morning and is expected to report
back quickly the resolution as ap-
proved today by the senate commits
tee. A special rule probably will be
asked from the rifles committee to ex-
pedite the resolution regardless OF its
progress in the senate and little delay
is looked for once il reaches the
house floor. Sentiment on the house
side is almost unanimously in favor OF
the measure.
Expect Little Opposition.
Senators who have looked over the
situation believe that if friends of the
resolution can be prevented from con-
suming time in speechmaking, vote
in the senate need not be delayed
many hours. They expect few votes
against it and not many speeches in
opposition. Republicans in close touch
with the situation believe that Sena-
tors La Toilette, Gronna and Norris
on the republican side will speak and
vote against the resolution and that
they will be joined by Senators Stone
and Kirby on the democratic side. OF
the position that will be taken by
Senators Cummins and Lane, who
were in the group President Wilson
blamed for failure of the armed nett
trality bill, they were not at all sure.
Enthusiastic approved of the presi-
dents address is general among sena-
tors. There are a few republicans
who express doubt about what he
meant when he said the entrance Of
the United States into the war would
involve "The utmost practical CO.
operation in counsel and action with
the governments now at war with
Germany"
Some Of them, who think this
might mean a close alliance and an

AMENDED DRY BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Intended to Enforce
Prohibitory Amendment
Goes Through.
SIX DEMOS AGAINST IT

Lincoln, April Especial TeIe-
gram. 1.-The senate passed the dry
bill as it was amended in committee
of the whole. Dry senator's protest
ed against the wet amendments by
voting against its passage. Sixteen
democrats, Adams, Bennett, Buer-
man, Doty, Gates, Henry, Kohl,
Mates, Moriarty, Robertson, Sam
uelson, Soost, Strehlow, Tanner and
both Wilson's, with Lahners and
Spirk> voted for the bill, while eight
republicans, Bushee, Douthett, Haase,
Hammond McAllister, McMullen,
Neal and Sandal, and six democrats,
Beal, Chappell, Hager, Henry, How
ell and Oberlies, voted against, the
vote standing IS for to IA against.
Dry senator's as general rule in
voting against the bill explained that
it was not dry bill and they pre-
ferred the present Slocumb law to a
law which laid the door wide open
for bootleggers.
Howell Roasts Newspaper.
Howell of Douglas, democrat, took
four typewriter pages to explain
why he voted against the bill. He
quoted the democratic platform and
criticised the Omaha World Herald
and the editor thereof who had un-
dertaken in his zeal for democracy to
defend an ''indefensible proposition" I"
He criticised the official organ of
democracy because it had called the
action of certain democrats in oppo-
sition to the wet amendments "a
cheap game of politics" by republi-
can politicians. He then asks if
Judge Albert, Senator Beal, Senator
'Chappell, Senator Oberlies, Senator
Sawyer, Senator Hager and Governor
Neville are republicans. He wanted
to know if Lieutenant Governor
Howard, who pronounced the acts OF
the men who supported the Robert
son amendments as "crucifying of
the democratic party on a beer keg"
was republican.
Reactionaries in Control.
He charged that the senate was or
ganized by the reactionary element in
both parties with the motto ito hell
with the people," and closed by say
ing:
Nov that this senate and the peo-
pie Of Nebraska shall pass upon the
charges and say whether or not they
had substantial foundation. Let US
not deceive ourselves; the fight is not
over and will not be until the reac-
tionary element is-.-for all time
stamped out of the democratic party
and the World-Herald should realize
that its defense OF the majority will
not fool the people, will make no
friends for itself, nor will it prolong
a condition which the people are de-
termined shall no longer be-"
The bill will now go back to the
house that that body may consider
the amendments voted to the bill by
the senate. In case the lower body
refuses to concur in the amendments,
which it probably will do, a confer
ence committee of three members
from the house and the senate will be
