and the people of the United Stales of America; therefore, .
be it
RESOLVED, By the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the United States of America in Congress assem
bled, 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 hereby authorized and

" WASHINGTON, April 3.
Steps have been taken by the Navy Department to effect imrne
diale co-operation with the Allies as soon as the war resolution is
passed by Congress, the Navy Department announced officially this
afternoon. All details as to what the actual naval co-operation will
be are to be withheld until Congress acts.
The announcement followed, closely upon a visit to the State
Department by British Ambassador Spring-Rice and Sir Richard
Crawford, British commercial attache, who conferred at length
with Counsellor Polk.
LONDON, April 3.
American Ambassador Page held a lengthy conference with the
British Secretary of Stale for Foreign Affairs, Arthur J. Balfour,
today. It is believed co-operation of the United States naval forces
with the Allies was under discussion.
A great "outburst of cheering greeted announcement in the
House of Commons by Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar Law today
that the British Ambassador in Washington had reported his belief
Congress would comply with President Wilson's recommendations.
Congressional action on President Wilson's request for indorsement of a
resolution declaring a state of tfar with Germany was delayed Hy Senator
Robert M. La Follette, filibuster of the last Senate.
Both houses of the Congress adjourned shortly after 1 o'clock, after brief
sessions, at which only1 foundation work was accomplished. Congressional
leaders, however, rnade it plain that they would not permit lengthy dilatory
tactics. '
The President awaits only the action of Congress to issue a first call for
600,000 volunteers to an army that is to aid America in crushing Hohenzollermsm.

MAYOR SMITH'S PATRIOTIC PLEA
TO THE PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA
I HAVE been asked what things the people of Philadelphia can immediately
do to show in a tangible way their support of the Government. I would
sugges
First. That all citizens who ..own flags immediatcly-unfuri tlie'm, and
those who do not own them purchase'flags at once and follow the same course.
Second. That all citizens, regardless of age or sex, wear upon their
persons the American colors in the form of a flag or rosette.
Nothing will do more to promote unity of spiiit among our people or
teach the lessons of patriotism to our children than the lavish exhibition of
the national colors.
Third. In si few days appeals for financial and other assistance will
doubtless be made by organisations interested in the welfare of the soldiers
and sailors. Every citizens bhould feel it his duty to promptly respond to
such appeals in accordance with his means. At this time thcte should be no
blackers in the giving of aid.
Wherever citizens are doubtful of the genuineness of any organization
asking for aid for soldiers, sailors or their families, inquiries should be made
at the Mayor's office, where a list of all authorized organizations will be on
file.
The motto of every citizen in this crisis should be to give ungrudgingly
of time and money, without waiting to see what some one else intends to do.
1)0 IT AND DO IT NOW.
