I have prav- ed for guidance.

Representative Hensley of Missouri announced that he now woulg vote against, the reso- tution. SEe Kitchin said he was not sure that the United States, put in the same sit- vation that Germany is now in, with respect to its Furopean enemies, might not resort t othe same viola- tions of neutrality that Germany has been guilty of. “Are we quite sure” we were in war with Germany and Japan, with out ships helpless. with our commerce swent off the seas. with our food scarce, with our arms and ammunition for our soldiers denied us that we would not, in our last strug- gle strike at our enemies with the only weapon we could, even though it be a violation of neutrality?’ “In this case no invasion is ‘threat- ened’; Kitchin continued.

The postofiice is closed from 8 to 6 today, Good Friday. acts of Germany are not directed di- rectly at us. We are asked to make common cause with Great Britain and France, to support a cause rizht or wrong. Every feeling of humanity combines to keep us out of war. “When congress has passed such a resolution as is now pending then only will it be the duty of the nmation to make the voice of the government its voice. Until then each person should have the inherent right to voice and vote his conviction.” Says British Closed North Sea. Kitchin referred to the British clos- ing of the Nerth sea and said no lives were lost then as Americans stayed out of that zone. “We @id not go to war over that,” he said. “We knew that the acts of Ger- many are not aimed at us, but are aimed at crippling her enemy. Are we quite sure that the real reason for war is the destruction of American lives rather than destruction of Amer- ican property? “We did not wage war on Mexico. ‘We were willing to forego our rights with Great Britain and with Mexico rather than plunge inte war while the whole world was in conflagration. I approved that czirse then and do now.” Mr. Kitchin closed with an admis- sion that the resolution would pass. There was a scattering of applause and then Representative Rogers of Massachusetts began to speak. He recited a long list of cases in which Germany has invaded the rights of the United State: Socialist London Opposed to War. There was a Representative London, New York, socialist, vigorously oppos- ed the resolution. He said the pres- ident’s plan for conscription. while President McKinley in the war with Spain called 'only for volunteers, show- ed that the president realizes the people are against the war with Ger- many. B Representative Sherwood, of Ohio, said he was opposed to ‘he resolu- tion in the form in which permits sending troops abroad. While Representative Borland of Missouri speaking. Representa- tive Flood interrupted to announce to the house the sthking of the unarmed American steamship Missourian with- out warning and probably with the of American lives. Cannon Supperter War Resolution. Tormer Speager Cannon, supporting the war resplution, said this was no time for partisan discussion; that the United States is not ready war now but must prepare at once. . Remarking that he had heard it sug- | 1 gesteq that the president be impeach- ed for arming American ships, My Cannon said: “We would not e much headway-there. He defended the lovalty of American citizens of Amid enthusiastic ap- German birth. plause the former spezker announced his intention of voting for war. Representative Dill of Washington, saying he had spent sleepless nights considering the war question, de- clarcd he finally had decided to vote against the resolution because he be- lieveq it the highest duty of the United States to keep out of the Europear: conflict. Once in, he add- ed, the government would receive his entire support. Towards 7 o'clock Chairman Flood, in charge of the resolution, sought an agreement to have the committee of. the whole wse at § and report the res- olution in the house. There was im- mediate opposition. Speaker Clark said everybedy ought to have a right to speak and the house should st: in session until the early hours of the morning or all night if necessary. Mr. Flood then withdrew his request and speeches were resumed. Representative Burnett of Alabama, in the course of a speech against the resolution; challenged Representatice Heflin to circulate a petition in the house to secure support for his decla- ration that Majority Leader Kitchin should resign. He aiso asked his col leagues to prove himself consistent by enlisting as a private in the arm Interchanges between the two Al hamans were made to the accompani- ment of shouts of applause from both sides of the chamber and the galler- ies. Heflin, nnable to get recognition, in- sisted on replvinz, shouted that he would liesign und fight for his coun- trv. Burnett continued his heckling despite the riars of the members and the pounding of the gavel by Repre- sentative zgerald until the ser- geant-at-arms produced the mace, symbol of the authority of the house. and compelled him to take his seat. Shortly bafore 9 o'clock, Representa- tive Mann, the republican leader, took the floor.to support the resolution. He praisedthe courage of these opposing: but said there was nothing for con- £ress to do but stand by the presi- dent. “I wish, said Mr. Mann. “to pay a | tribute to the courage of those mem- bers of the honse, who, in the exercise of the responsibility cast upon them, have expressed their opposition to the resolution. I want particuld®#to pay my tribute to the rare eourage of the fentleman from North -Carolina. “For two and one-half years I have done all in my power by voice and vote to keep this country out of the Furop- ean war. “T have believed it was to the advan- tage not only of our people and our country, but to the advantage of civ- flization and humanity that we should keep out of the war at this time. But after all it was not because 1 was afraid of war. The American people may prefer peace but they are not ilty of cowardice: it is not because e are afraid to fight. “The only thing left for us to do is to stand by the president elected by the peopie. We cannot say 4e the worlg tHat our only goal is gold, that our only desire is wealth. We must, when the question is presented to us, declare we will maintain the rights of Americans abroad as well as at hand." At 9 o'clock general debate closed and discussion under the five minute rule began. Chairman Flood's suggestion that all debate close at 1145 o'clock brought a storm of “noes.” Some members expressed a desire to reach a vote before midnight be- cause tomcrrow Is Good Friday. “We can stay here until sun up if necessary,” Speaker Clark assured members who feareq they would not have an opportunity to speak.
