WASHINOTON. Mnrcli 6. The rending
of nn editorial printed yesterday In tho
Now York Times, which declared that
until tho House had tattled the McLcmore
resolution tho German flag hung over tho
Cnpltol, today stirred (ho Senato to a spir
ited debato.
"Not tho Jingo editor or loud-mouthed
patriot truly tepresents American senti
ment," said Senator McCumber.
The existence of nn aggressive mid well
financed league to bring this country Into
war on the sldo of the Allies was charged
by Senator .Touch. He wondered If tho
New York editor might not belong to It.
PATniOT'S DUTY.
"No truo American patriot would risk
plunging his natlo.n Into war by Insisting
on traveling on nn nrmed belligerent In
stead of a neutral ship." continued Mc
Cumber.
Jones quoted from tho constitution of
this alleged league tho Citizens' Lcaguo
for America and tho Allies these words:
"To uso all lawful means to put this
nntlon dellnltcly In sympathy with tho
Allies." Ito said that nt n meeting In Bos
ton. Prof. Joslnh Rogers, of Harvard, had
said, "Let us do nil we can to bring
about a rupture between this country and
tho central Powers."
Sonator Oliver, ns tho one who voted
for tho President, said ho npologlzed for
tho sentiments In the New York editorial.
Senator Pomcrcne read Into tho record
a statement by Secretary Lansing that
Great Britain had not. In the ltusso
Japancso war warned Its citizens off
armed merchantmen.
THE NEW YOnil EDITORIAL.
Tho editorial In the Now York Times
was headed "Tho King on tho Cnpltol."
It follows:
For somo days, thanks to the multi
tudinous lies radiated over the country
from tho central source nt Washington,
Americans have been boiling with nnger
nt the thought that not nn American but
n German Cmigreim im nltllng there.
They know that foreign Intrlguo nnd do
mestic mnllce wero doing their worst to
set tho legislative branch against the Ex-ccutlx-e,
to filch from tho latter one of his
constitutional powers, to weaken tho Pres
ident In n grave moment of international
dilTlcutty,'to crcato the Impression abroad
that tho United States Government was
divided In opinion, that tho people wero on
ono side and tho President on another.
They now Senntorn und Representa
tives enger for u cowardly surrender of
the right of Amerlcnns to travel on the
high sea. They rend the concocted tabu
lations showing a majority In Congress,
In the House a majority of two to ono, in
favor of that surrender. They av, with
Nhiime and nnger, a Henntor In the Semite
Chamber rolling out unctlously u false
hood which he took good pains not to In
quire Into about the President's wisli for
war. They heard from tho American Am
bassador to Germany of the erroneous or
sophisticated opinion prevailing in Ger
many, of tho Injury dono to the United
States by replication In Berlin of the
studiously propagated report that Con
gress was hostile to Mr. Wilson's sub
marine policy.
Not even In the days when earlier
aliens nnd fomenters of sedition were mak
ing the United States tho football of
foreign Interests has the United Stntes
seemed so pitiable. Then it was young,
weak, unconsolidated, full of generous re
cent friendships and enmities. Now, In
Its height of power, had It become the
puppet of a foreign Influence, a child In
the hands of a foreign master? Was Its
Congress not its own, but that master's?
Dark days for Americans.
It seeipcd us if the Congress was ready
to haul down the Americun flag from the
Capitol, spit on It, run the black, white
nnd red up In Its phire. Hut Tuesday the
President called on the Germans In Con
gress to stand up and be counted. They
stood up In the Senate Frlduy, 14 In nil,
a sorry lot. The Semite stamped on the
counsel of dhlslon nnd dishonor. The
Senate nan American. The German Hag
was not going up on the Capitol.
