EAT THRONG DEMANDS WAR ~w York. March 22.?In a miglit? ror of patriotic enthusiasm a greai rong in Madison Square Garden to ght called upon congress to pro claim a state of war between Ger many and the United States. The theater of many remarkable demonstrations, the garden probably never has witnessed one more en thusiastic. more colorful or mort potent in historical significance. tho r?v*.rnrin\ fhfi llacs of thO Vnited States, France and England frantically were waved alot'i in a new international trinity. The strains of the Marseillaise mingled with those of the Star Spangled Banner. Hys terical cheers greeted every refer ence to the entente allies. America's entrance upon the world war was hailed as an accomplished fact. There were demands that the Stars and Stripes be carried forward to "the von Hinder.burg line." Peace had her advocates mere. 100, as well as those of war. During the progress of the meeting there was frequent interruptions of the speak ers by demands for "peace.'' and the submission of the question of war to a referendum. But the voices of the pacifists were drowned in the cheers of the vast majority and the police quickly removed from the auditorium those who voiced opposition to the spirit of the occasion. Given under the auspices of the patriotic and civic organization ana college clubs of New York, Madison n ? ,,-00 thrnncpH to OLJ UcU C Vjra i. UOLi \y a.a -"O doors for the occasion. At least 10,000 more people were turned away by the police who established a line about the garden and refused to permit any to venture within a block of the meet ing place unless provided with tickets of admission.
