NEW BRITAIN DAILY K& RALD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, AMERICAN CITIZENS IN LONDON HAPPY Many Hasten to Gonsul’s Office to Profier Services London, April 4.—Americans in London felt a thrill of patriotic pride over the news from Washington that President Wilson had taken up the guage against Germany. Everywhere that Americans met in the metropolis they expressed themselves enthusias- tically over the act of the president which meant that America was enter- ing the war. In hotels and clubs, everywhere Americans congregated, only ane voice was to be heard, and that of the heartiest support for the president in. the step he had taken. The bulletin boards in the hotels an- nounced the news received over the ticker, and crowds surrounded them all day long. “Thank God! We're going into this fight,” was the uni- versal expression. . Americans who had felt months ago that the president had failed to act quickly enough in face of Germany's lawless conduct on the seas were to- day heart and soul with him in right of his stirring war message to Congress. At the American embassy and con- sulate excitement ran high. Ambas- sador Page was called upon by many prominent Americans who wanted ta shake his hand as the representative of the president, who had taken a step to put America on the side of right in the fight against Prussian militarism. They wanted to tell him that they were eager to go back to America and take up arms it the country needed them. All day long the embassy was kept busy answering telephonic in- quiries as to the latest news from Washington. ¥ 100 Offer Their Services, Fully 100 Americans called ta see Consul General Skinner, to urge him to send their names to Washington s of men ready to offer their services. Weeks ago Mr. Skinner started a list of Amsricans who were anxious to do military duty. This list has more than 500 names on it, and when war is declared Mr. Skinner will cable it on ta Washington. The spirit of those calling at the | embassy and consulates was one of supreme confidence that America’s going into the war would tend to shorten f{t. At both offices cables were received in the course of the day from the state department, keeping the officials informed as to developments. At the ‘| foreign office intense satisfaction was may affect the safety of the entire nation, it is well understood. Rear Admiral Benson's actual rank in the navy is that of captain, but he holds the rank of rear admiral while filling the ofMce of chief of naval operations. The picture is a very recent one of Admiral Benson at his desk.

A. HALL, 238 Main Street Auto Delivery expressed over President Wilson's message, which was described as marked by patriotism and the loftiest idealism. While there was nothing of an officlal character to be given out there, it was suggested immediately after the declaration of war it was ta be supposed that America would designate representatives to meet “the other allies” to determine upon the precise steps for the most practical ald to be given in warfare by sea and land. It is expected here that the Washington government will send convoys to London where they will confer with representatives of all the <Allles. The American Chamber of Com- merce held a meeting at which it put itself at the disposal of the American government to serve its interests in the war in any possible way. There was a stirring scene in the afternoon when the orchestra struck up “The Star Spangled Banner.” The crowd of 300 in the tea room at once arose and remained standing until the music stopped. America’s national air was heard in nearly every hotel and many theaters for the first time since the war began. MUST DISPLAY THE FLAG. No Street Assemblies Wil Be Al- lowed Without Them. New York, April 4.—After the grand jury of the county of New York had passed resolutions urging im- mediate steps to suppress seditious utterances in public places, the board of aldermen of the city amended the code of ordinances so as to require all assemblies on the streets where public discussions are held, to dis- play the American flag conspicuously “at all times during the holding of such assemblies.” The ordinance will become effective as soon as Mayor Mitchel signs it. District Attorney Swann and Police Commissioner Woods, at a conference later, decided that street gatherings should be curbed as much as possible where speakers desire to discuss the international situation. Earlier in the day patrolmen ar- rested two street orators who were al- leged to have denounced the presi- dent for his address before congress and also to have criticized measures | that are being taken for the national defense. The magistrate before whom the prisoners were arraigned 1 held them each in §1,500 bail for fur- ther examination, and directed the police in future to “listen carefully to the exact expressions of street ora- tors.” SCANDINAVIA AS A UNIT. Christlania, April 4.—“If the dis- aster of war should strike one of these countries it would also strike the other two,” declared M. Morvinc- kel, president of the Norwegian Storthing, at the opening session in | the course of a speech advocating co- operation with Sweden and Denmark. “Our interests,” he added, ‘are bind- ing us close together, and we will keep together, not for love, but for the reason of practical politics.

When a man like Senator Stone declares: ‘I am against a declaration of war, but if it is declared I shall shout for it with the rest,’ it characterizes the feeling of the country. “In this hour of bitter seriousness we have only one admonition for our readers: Look the situation squarely in the face, without deceiving your- selves any longer, without allowing vourselves still’ to be deluded with ! hopes due to a narcotic-like optimism. Reconcile yourselves to the thought ! that what has seemed inevitable for ! [months cannot be avoided. We can see but one duty as soon as congress has spoken the last word: America, After quoting President Wilson’s ex- pression of faith in the loyalty of the great mass of German-Americans, the New Yorker Herold said: “We have sworn allegiance to the ! country, and an oath must be kept. There can be no hair-splitting about that. The nation’s will is also the will of the German-Americans. What the national representatives of the people set down as a citizen’s duty is our duty, too. Even if it breaks ‘hearts.” Cleveland, April 4.—The Waechter und Anzeiger in its issue says: “For Americans of German birth it | is to be a war of brother agalnst brother and in many cases of son against father, a war against the sweet memories of childhood _and | friendship. Days of untold sorrows and bitterness are in store for us, ter- rible days of conflict between duty toward our country and natural sym- pathy for the land of our fathers. There cannot be any question as to which of the two, duty or sympathy, | will prevail. For perfidy is not a German trait, and if it should break our hearts America shall not find us wanting. Denver, Colo., April 4—Th8 Colo- rado Herold says: “Should the command at last be is- sued to follow the music of ' the boisterous drum and the silvery voice of the heroic bugle in defense of our country, in that hour American cit- izens of German birth would not be found wanting—they would make the same valorous showing in behalf of their adopted country that they have on every American battlefleld since the republic was born.” ROOSEVELT' AT WHITE HOUSE. Finds President Busy and Hurries Away Again. i ‘Washington, April 4. — Colonel Roosevelt, on his way home from Florida, made a flying trip to the ‘White House between trains late yes- terday to congratulate President il- son on his address to congress. When he found the president was at work in the executive offices he would not send in his name, but left his card with the chief usher and rushed back to the railroad station.

Petrograd, April 4—While prices of fcodstuffs have soared in Petrograd and Moscow to undreamed-of heights, ern Siberia, where immense quanti- ties of foodstuffs have been lying un- uvsed for months, show that prices in these out-of-the-way centers were never so low.
