X Blames Wilson.
Washington. May 5.-Opening de-
bate on his resolution ITO declare the
state of war with Germany and Aus
lican, Pennsylvania, declared In the
senate today that President Wilson
was arbitrarily maintaining that the
nation technically was at war in order
to coerce the senate into ratifying the
treaty of Versailles.
There was no excuse whatsoever
for greatly prolonging the war be-,
yond the signature of the armistice,"
the senator said, land the only expla-
nation for SO doing was the deliberate
aim to retain all those autocratic COM
pulsory powers with which the execu-
tive had been endowed for the prose-
cution of the war in order that they
might be used for other purposes.
The welfare and safety of the ma
now have peace. The whole world
seethes with revolution. Our own ma
j. ton is in ferment and toll. And yet
