RESOLUTI
Votes by 82 to 6

%
Washington, April 4.?The war resolution
was passed by the senate by a
vote of 82 to 6. It goes to the house
where debate will begin tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock and continue
until action is taken.
Senators who cast the negative
votes were: Gronna of North Dakota.
L"a Follette of Wisconsin, Norris
of Nebraska, Lane of Oregon,
Stone of Missouri and Vardaman of
Mississippi.
Senator McCumber's substitute to
declare the existence of a state of
war upon the sinking of another
American ship by Germany was defeated
without a roll call.
The resolution, drafted after- consultation
with the state department
and already accepted by the house
committee, says the state of war
thrust upon the United States by Germany
is formally declared and directs
the president to employ the entire
military and naval forces and the re-!
sources of the government to carry
on war and bring it to a successful
termination.
Action in the senate came just after
11 o'clock at the close of a debate thai
had lasted continuously since 10
o'clock this morning. The climax was
reached late in the afternoon when
Senator John Sharp Williams denounced
a speech by Senator La Follette
as more worthy of Ilerr von
Bethmann-IIollweg than of an American
senator.
No Outburst From Galleries.
The passage of the resolution was
not marked by any outburst from the
galleries. 'The senators themselves
^were unusually quiet. Many of them
answered to their naes in voices that
quivered with emotion.
The galleries were filled to overflowing
and on the floor back of the
senators' seats were almost half the
membership of the house. In the
diplomatic gallery was Secretary Lan?
s|n6? Counsellor Polk of the state department,
^ Minister Calderon of BoSwiss
minister, in charge of German
interests in this country, had been
"there.
Secretary McAdoo was on the floor
during the last few hours of the debate.
As the last name was called and
the clerk announced the vote, 82 to fl,
there was hardly a murmur of applause.
All six of the senators who voted
apcainst the resolution were embers of
the proup of 12 which defeated the
armed neutrality bill at the last session.
There was no attempt to filibuster
this time, however, and most of
the 13 hours of debate was consumed
by champions of the resolution. Of
the other six opponents of the armed
neutrality. Senators Cummins, Kcnyon
and Kirby voted for the resolution
tonight. Senators O'Gorman.
Clapp and Works retired to private
life at the end of the last session.
The text of the resolution follows:
"Whereas, the imperial German govcrnment
has committed repeated acts
of war against the government and
the people of the United States of
America; therefore, be it
"Resolved, Ry the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America, in congress assembled,
that the state of war between the
United States and the imperial German
government which has thus been
thrust upon the United States is hereby
formally declared; and that the
president be. and he is horehv en.
thorized and directed to employ the entire
naval and military forces of the
United States* and the resources of ihe
government to carry on war against
the imnerial German govenment; and
to bring the conflict to a successful
termination, all of the resources of
the country are hereby pledged by the
congress of the United States."
Almost every senator and many
house members were present when the
senate debate began. In a brief opening
statement Senator Tlitcbcock. in
charge of the resolution, said the
present was a time for "action, not
discussion."
Time for Talk Past.
"The time for discussion has passed,"
he said. "The president has already
stated more clearly, effectively,
more conclusively the reasons which
make this grave step necessary. The
resolution provides for war against
the imperial German government. I*
is framed on the lines of other war
resolutions. It places responsibility
for the war squarely upon the shoulders
of the German government.

unquestionably a declaration of war.
I am impressed with the solemnity of
the occasion. Some may be filled with

Debate on Course, j"
|r<
o
joy at the prospect of the war. To p
me it is depressing and dreadful. Th<" tl
enormous cost which the people must s<
pay, the preat increase in the cos* ft
of living, the enormous burden of C
taxes the people must bear, and the di
still greater heritage of death stair- ft
per my mind. The awful sacrifice of V
lives that must follow sickens my p
heart. I am sure many other senators
feel as I do. c<
"We want no more territory." con- h
tinued Senator Hitchcock. "We will ai
demand no indemnity. We have no L
historic prudpe to settle nor racial an R
tioathy. In this respect we differ
with the other countries aleadv in- o
volved in the awful strupple. There rr
is Pan-Slavism apainst pan-Geiman- P
ism. Italy wants back the Trentino: C
France her lost provinces; Great
Britain has German comerce and f<
German colonies almost in her prasp; I.
Russia wants Constantinople and Ger- ir
many, besides her place in the .>un. s<
wants to dominate Europe.
"We, of all nations, will spend our
treasure and our blood and sacrifice
our lives without the thoupht of possibility
of pain. We are poinp to war
to vindicate our honor and independence
as a qrcat nation and in defense
of humanity. v
I "Such quarrels as we have with
Germany is not of our choosinp. Tt
was forced upon us and we did much o
to avoid it. For nearly three years,
,the president, congress and the American
people have honed to avoid it. j
But one desperate act by the imperial q
German government has followed
another. I do not mean to say (ler- v
many has desired war wtrn us. * do q
jnot believe that. But the imperial g
! government has been desperate and \
has taken desperate chances."
