moment obtains. Thus we shall put
the country Immediately upon COM
plete peace basis and may at once re-
sumo all our normal commercial and
other relations with Germany, unham-
pered by any restrictions.
Senator Knox quoted at length from
the addresses of President Wilson in
viting Congress to declare war against
the Imperial German Government as
result of its aggrossiOns upon the
people of this country, and insisting
that America had no quarrel with the
German people
Our Own Germans Liberty Lovers
The senator resumed:
But we here in Congress were not
quite so sure footed in our estimate
of our relations to the German people
in case we went to war. 1t became
| difficult for us to work out just how we
could contine our hostility to the In
perial German Government when the
German people and not the German
royalty were to shoot down our sons,
and while we were bending all our eff
forts to kill the German people.
But we did see this in the situation
our own citizens Of German ancestry
were among our best most stawart and
( freedom loving, patriotic citizens. whose
ancestors in many cases had fled Ger
many to escape the dcspOtism against
| which we were about to wage war.
! We recalled that the Teutonic pcoples
| were in origin and early tradition II
| free people who knew no masters. And
we judged that rid of those rulers who
had d"bauchcd their intellcrts for gen +
cratlons. this mighty people would re-
assert their racial characteristics as had
their sons who had come to us. and
that they would become in turn a great
! free people, as they had been a great
monarchical nation.
And this is my faith today, if we
but give that great people fair chance,
consistent with the punishment they
have earned and must suffer.
but no one here was such ar
ecStatic as to conceive that, going for
ward, we should not make war on th,
German people, or that before the wa,
should end we should not have en-.
gendered hostility toward them.
Quick Response of Congress
Congress, therefore, on April q
four days after the delivery of th,
Presidents address, declared, in a ioin
resolution, the existence of a state n
war between the United States and th,
Imperial German Government.
Fired with the spirit of liberty apf
freedom and weighted with the blessing,
OF free government, the splendid bod,
OF loyal citizens of German ancestry
saw In the war an opportunity TO brinl
to the home folk in the old fatherIan(
the same inalienable rights of life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness. Thei,
sons rushed to our standards, to fight
first that We might continue TO Iiy,
free and next that liberty and its bless
ings might come TO their kindred acros,
the sea.

Discussing that part of tn" treaty

provisions seem to carry, it will wreck

There were some fans among the

opinion that the last three runs by
Klein were easy picking. That may
be true, but they were earned. A
score of l to for Klein would have
resulted had not the trio of runs
been chalked up later, and no one
can say that Boston did not try to
get men on bases

fielding teams doing all sorts of CEN

pest of the argument and he showed
he was not a bit frightened. Ruth

welcome and he tried hard to do
something. McGinnis and Walters
managed to connect with Ritter's
curves but the Klein twirler was
never in danger. Jones pitched good

tried his puzslers. 1t was on Ruth's
