ftjrco anywhere Into action. The American people do not desire it, and our
desire Is not different from theirn. I am sure that they will understand the
spirit in which I am now acting, the purpose I hold nearest my heart and would
yrish to exhibit in everything I do. I am anxious that the people of the nations
ai war also should understand and not mistrust us. I hope that I need k1vc no
further proofs and assurances than I have already given throughout nearly
three years of anxious patience that I am trJb friend of peace and mean to
preserve It for America so long as I am able.
"i am not now proposing- or contemplating war or any steps that need
lead to it. I merely request that you will accord me by your own ote and
definite bestowal the means and the authority to safeguard in practice the right
of a great people who are at peace and who are desirous of exercising none but
the rights of peace to follow the pursuits of peace in quietness and good will
rights recognized time out of mind by all the civilized nations of the world. No
course of my choosing or of theirs will lead to war.
BURDEN ON OTHERS AGGRESSION
"War enn come only by the willful acts and aggressions of others.
"You will understand why 1 can make no definite proposals or forecasts of
action now and must ask for your supporting authority in the most general
terms. The form in which action may become necessary cannot yet be foreseen.
"I request, also, that you will grant me at the same time along with the
powers I ask, a sufficient credit to enable me to provide ndequate means of pro
tection" where they arc lacking, including adequate insurance against the present
war risks.
"I believe that the people will be willing to trust me to act with restraint,
with prudence and in the true spirit of amity and good fnith that they have
themselves displayed throughout these trying months; and it is in that belief
that I request that you will authorize me to supply our merchant ships with
defensive arms, should that become necessary, and with the means of using
them, and to employ any other instrumentalities or methods that may be neces
sary and adequate to protect our ships and our people in their legitimate and
peaceful pursuits on the seas.
FOR THE DEFENSE OF HUMAN LIVES
"I have spoken of our commerce and of the legitimate errands of our
people on the seas but you will not be misled as to my main thought, the thought
that lies beneath these phrases and gives them dignity and weight. It is not
of material interests merely that we are thinking. It is, lather, of fundamental
human rights, chief of all the right of life itself. I am thinking, not only of
the rights of Americans to go and come about their proper business by way "of
the sea, but also of something much deeper, much more fundamental than that.
"I am thinking of these rights of humanity without which there is no
civilization. My theme is of those great principles of compassion nnd of pro
tection which mankind has sought to throw about human lives, the lives of non
combatants, the lives of men who are peacefully at work keeping the industrial
processes of the world quick and vital, the lives of women and children and
of those who supply the labor which ministers to their sustenance. We are
speaking of no selfish material rights, but of rights which our hearts support
and whose foundation is that righteous passion for justice upon which all law,
all structures alike of family, of State and of mankind must lest, as upon the
ultimate base of our existence and our liberty. 1 cannot imagine any man with
American principles at his heart hesitating to defend these things."
NOTABLES GATHER TO HEAR ADDRESS
News of the President's history-creating speech had been slow in seeping
through the city, so that een shortly before 1 o'clock the galleries were only
partly filled, an unusual situation. ,
The House floor, however, was well filled by that time and the members
continued discussion of the sundry civil bill until the President arrived.
The chatter in the galleries grew as the minutes shortened, so that the
Chair had to halt it abruptly.
In the diplomatic gallery the Russian, British and South American Envoys
were the first to arrive. The front rows of this section were occupied by
gayly gowned women.
Social folk mingled with plain people in the other sections until finally the
seats were crammed.
There was an obvious sense of strain in nil the floor proceedings the
nervousness of men sensing the vital impending developments.
As soon as the Senate was seated Chief Justice White and Justice Mc
Reynolds, "ofHhe Supreme Court, took seats on the floor, with Secretaries Red
field, Baker, Daniels, Wilson, Houston, McAdoo, Attorney General Gregory and
Fostmaster General Burleson, of the Cabinet. Representatives Kitchin, Fitz
gerald, Flood, Mann and Cooper and Senators Kern, Simmons, Chilton, Brande
gee and Sutherland were named to escort the President to the chamber.
An outburst of wild handclapping with cheers from the Democratic side
greeted the Executive as he shook hands with Speaker Clark and Vice President
Marshall.
OPPOSITION EXPECTED TO REQUEST
The President began speaking at 1:02 o'clock and silence fell upon the
crowded chamber. The big gathering was all strained ears and watchful eyes
as the Chief Executive recounted the effects of the German campaign of ruth
lessness from February 1 to the present time.
Not a sound interrupted as the President demanded clear and definite assur
ances of the authority he "may at any moment find necessary to execute."
Both House and Senate sat in grim and grave silence.
The Congress seemed to stir uneasily as the President stated that his
request must be "general rather than definite and specific, but there was no
sign of approval or disapproval.
As he turned to leave the Chamber on closing his address a shrill "rebel
yell" from the Democratic side of the House led a brief outburst of appaluse.
This was followed by a low roar of conversation as the Congress began its
excited discussion of the address
Slowly the Senator;, deep in low comersatiun filed fiom the Chamber.
The history making session was over. The House resumed its dreary routine
rind.
Comment on the address differed with the individuul. The militarist element
aid that the message was "far too weak," the pacifist said it was "too stiong."
Party leaders seemed "up a stump" and many expressed doubt that the Presi
dent would get all of the authority that this address, unlike its immediate
predecessor did not find a united Congress behind the Chief Executive.
REPUBLICANS WANTED "SPECIFIC" MOVE
Republican Senntors made no attempt to conceal their disappointment over
the President's address, and it beenme clear immediately after the Senate went
back into session that legislation granting the President's request would meet
with strong opposition. The failure to make definite proposals or "forecasts
of action," Republican leaders said, had convinced them more than ever of the
necessity of an extra session. They immediately began discussing a plan of
action. Democrats referred to the President's address as "mild," but his re
quest met with as genetal approval on the Administration side of the Senate
as It did with disappointment on the Republican side.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, ranking Republican member of the For
eign Relations Committee, who attacked the President's inaction Saturday, de
clined to discuss the address, but indented he would have something to say later.
It was noticeable that he sat in the front row during the joint session, but did
rot join in the applause at the address.
"I think the President's request was very reasonable and that the country
vill approve it," said Senator Kern, the Democratic leader. "When the other
; side sees that it receives popular approval there will be no objection to grant-
ins it." -

l.NTANTItV TAKi;S VI' ATTACK
On Saturday the Hrltlsh Infantry took up
the attnc k along the Ancre after an artil
lery duel lasting several dajs. The British
gunners had concentrated their fire on the
enemy s position south of Serre and south
of Miraumont. the two bastions In the CJer

Hnth on Saturday and Sunday, when It
came time for the Hiltlsh troops to ad
vnnce from the trenches, thej occupied the
new ground nhnost without opposition The
clernian's guns had been put-out of busi

It Impossible to hold their lines nnd cvacu

In the last attack on Scire onlj "small

I'rlnce llupprecht is known to have
prided himself on the Impiegnahltitv of the
fortifications of Serre and Miraumont, et
the lirltlsli troops wnlked through them
almost without casualties, certainly with
out opposition worth the name The Oer

UililM'lilllillllllllllllllllllllOllllliniUII
Before the New Jersey Legislature is a bill to broaden the
powers of the Board of Public Utility Commissioners. It was
introduced into the House by Hon. Emmor B. Roberts, of the
Grange; into the Senate by Hon. Lewis T. Stevens. The meas
ure is supported by the New Jersey State Chamber of Com
merce, following exhaustive study of the problem, and by news
papers generally. It is heartily approved by the railroads. They
take this public method to say so and why. Legislative Commit
tees will give hearing on the bill, February 27, at Trenton.
This will accomplish in reality what the "full crew" law of 1913
was intended to do. The effect of that law so far has been to
force upon the railroads in New Jersey a total cost of $1,250,000.
Such expenditure, which, as, every cost entering into .railroad
maintenance and operation, inevitably is met by the public, has
been waste, for it accomplished nothing of value.
Enuctment of the bill will take nothing from the public that it
does not restore in greater degree. For an arbitrary law recog
nizing no conditions but, with limitations, requiring' on trains a
given number of men regardless of differing circumstances sur
rounding operation of such trains and the services they per
formthe bill substitutes the intelligent judgment of selected
men entrusted by the Commonwealth with safeguarding and
promoting the public interest.
Under the existing statute an "excess man" crew law, not a
"full" crew law as it was named to accomplish its enactment
railroads in New Jersey are compelled to carry on trains, where
they "are not needed, some 450 men who would be otherwise
very advantageously employed. Railroads do not seek to under
man trains. On many trains passenger and freight they now
put larger crews than the law requires, this to ensure safe and
efficient, operation. ,
. What this bill will do is to make certain that all railroads in
New Jersey shall properly crew every train. It gives the Utility
Commissioners full authority to determine how many men are
necessary to make certain that trains are safely and efficiently
operated, also to prevent excessive duties being required of any"
. man in train service. It protects the public interest, as the pres
ent law does not. It adequately safeguards rights of employes.
It relieve3 the railroads from a useless operating charge now;
imposed upon them. It makes for economical, so for better,
transportation service.
