•Self-governed nations do not fill
their neighbor states with spies or set
thecourse of intrigue to bring about
some critical posture of affairs which
will give them an opportunity to
strike and make conquest. Such de
signs can be successfully worked only
under cover and where 110 one has
the right to ask questions.
"Cunningly contrived plans of de
ception or aggression, carried, it may
bo, from generation to generation, can
be worked out and kept from the
light only within the privacy of courts
or behind the carefully guarded con
fidences of a narrow and privileged
class. They are happily impossible
where public opinion commands and
insist upon full information concern
ing all the nations' affairs.
Partnership of Nations
"A steadfast concert for peace can
never be maintained except by a part
nership of democratic nations. Xo
autocratic government could be trust
ed to keep faith within it or observe
its covenants. It must be a league of
honor, a partnership or opinion. In
trigue would eat its vitals away; the
plottings of inner circles who could
plan what they would and render ac
count to no one would be a corrup
tion seated at its very heart. Only
free peoples can hold their purpose
and their honor steady to a common
end and prefer the interests of man
kind to any narrow interest of their
own.
"Does not every American feel that
assurance has been added to our hope
for the future peace of the world by
the wonderful and heartening things
ilia thave been happening,within the
last few weeks in Russia?
"Russia was known by those who
knew it best to havebeea always in
tact democratic at heart, in all the
vital habits of her thought, in all the
intimate relationships of her people
that spoke their natural instinct, their
habitual attitude towards life.
"The autocracy that crowned the
summit of her political structure, long
as it had stood and terrible as was
the raallty of its power, was not In
fact Russian in origin, character, or
purpose: and now it has been shaken
off and the great, generous Russian
people have been added in all their
naive majesty and might to the forces
that are fighting for freedom in the
world, for justice and for peace. Here
is a fit partner for a league of honor.

DOWN PACIFIST
IN FIST FIGHT
Senior Senator From Massachusetts Knocks Down Peace
Crank; Lie Passed Before Encounter; Had Called
Lodge a Coward in Effort to Get Him to Vote For Peace
at Any Price
Washington, April 2. A personal
encounter between Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, and Alexander Bann
wart, of Dorcester, Mass., in which the
Senator knocked his opponent down,
occurred to-day in the corridors of the
Capitol.
Bannwart, with the Rev. Paul Har
ris Drake, of Christ Church, Dorches
ter, and several other men and women
of pacifist delegations, called Senator
Bodge to the door of his committee
room and asked him to vote against •
declaration of war with Germany.
Senator Lodge replied that If President
Wilson asked for *ucli a declaration
he certainly would support it.
"That is cowardice," retorted one of
the group.
"National degeneracy is worse than
cowardice," replied the Massachusetts
Senator.
"You are a coward," said Bann-j
wart.
"You are a liar." retorted Senator
Lodge.
Bannwart advanced and su-uck the
Senator, who then, despite his sixty
odd years, launched a blow that sent
Bannwart sprawling on the hard tiled
corridor.
Bannwart and several of his friends
were taken in charge by the Capitol
police.
Bannwart told the Capitol police he
' was not the aggressor and contended
that Senator Lodge struck the first
blow. In other respects his story did
not differ greatly from that told by
employes in the Senator's office.
After Senator Lodge finished with
the pacifist, David B. llecpian, of this
<ity, stepped in and, according to
spectators, pummeled Bannwart, cut
ting several gashes in his forehead and
sperading blood over his face. Bann
wart was taken to a police station with
directions that a charge of assault on
Senator Lodge be preferred against

cracy was not and could never be our
friend is That from the very outset of
the present war it has filled our un
suspecting communities and even our
offices of government with spies and
set criminal intrigues everywhere
afoot against our national unity of
council, our peace within and without,
our industries and our commerce.
"Indeed it is now evident that its
spies were here even before the war
began and it is unhappily not a mat
ter of conjecture but c fact proved in
our courts of justice that the intrigues
which have more than once come
perilously near to disturbing the peace
and dislocating the industries of the
country have been carried on at the
instigation, with the support, and
even under the personal direction of
official agents of the Imperial" German
government accredited to the govern
ment of the United States.
Sought to Bo Generous
"Even in checking those things and
trying to extirpate them wo have
sought to put the most generous in
terpretation possibles upon them be
cause we knew that their source lay,
not in any hostile feeling or purpose
of the German people towards us (who
were, no doubt as ignorant of them
as wo ourselves were), but only in the
selfish designs of a government that
did what it pleased and told its people
nothing.
Hostile to V. S.
"But they have played their part
in serving to convince us at last that
that government entertains no real
friendship for us and means to act
against our peace and security at its
convenience. That it means to stir up
enemies against us at our very doors
the intercepted note to the German
minister at Mexico City is cioquvt
evidence.
"We are accepting this challenge of
hostile purpose because we know that
in such a government, following such
methods, we can never have a friend;
and that in the presence of its organ
ized power, always lying in wait to ac
complish we know not what purpose,
there can be no assured security for
the democratic governments of the
world.
Accept Battle Gauge
"We are now about to accept gauge
of battle with this natural foe to lib
erty and shall, if necessary, spend the
whole force of the nation to check
and nullify its pretensions and its
power. We are glad, now that we see
the facts with 110 veil of false pre
tense about them, to f.>*ht thus for the
utlimate peace of the world and for
the liberation of its peonies, the Ger
man peoples included: for the rights
of nations great and small and the
privilege of men everywhere to choose
their way of life and of obedience.
The world must be made safe for
democracy. Its peace must be planted
upon the trusted foundations of po
litical liberty.
Xo Sclfisli Ends
"We have no selfish ends to serve.
We desire no conquest, no dominion.
We seek no indemnities for ourselves,
no material compensation for the sac
rifices we shall freely make. We are
but one of the champions of the rights
of mankind. We ihall besatisfled when
him. The others in the group with
him were allowd to go.
Senator Lodge appeared on the floor
when the Senate met. Scores of Sena
tors went over to the Massachusetts
Senator's desk and shook his hand.
Bannwart's Story
Pacifists headquarters gave out a
statement about the affair, which in
part was as follows:
"A group of Massachusetts dele
gates to the peace gathering were re
ceived by Senator Lodge. A plea for
peace was presented and replied to by,
Senator Lodge. On some further talk
by Alexander Bannwart, of Boston, an
American, and said to be of Swiss de
scent, the senator suddenly called
"you are a damned liar."
"The Massachusetts man replied:
'Then I must call you one,' or words
to that effect.
"On this Senator Lodge struck
Bannwart in the face. Two Boston
men struck back, knocking ths sena
tor down. Thereupon a group of young
mer) came out of the senator's office
and began severely to pummel and
beat Bannwart, striking him, also,
whether or not accidentally, a young
lady among the delegates who was
trying to explain."
How It Happened
Senator Lodge's formal statement
of the encounter was as follows:
"I was trying to get away from
them. They were very violent. I said
'well, we must agree to differ.'
"Then this man, whom 1 afterward
learned was Bannwart, said:
" 'You are a damn coward,' ad
dressing me personally. I went for
ward, close up to him and said, 'you
are a liar.' He struck me and I
struck him. Then the whole party
rushed at me and pushed me against
the wall.
"A young lady from Arizona who
was in the corridor, my secretaries
and Senator Stone's messenger inter-
I vened for my protection and drove
I them off."

The sum practically has doubled
during the last flveyears. .Most of the
accumulation, of course, is due to the
in/tow of old during thewar.
those rights have been as secure at
the faith and the freedom of the na
tions t*an make them.
"Just because we fight without ran
cour and without selfish objects, seek
ing nothing for ourselves but what we
shall wish to sharewith all free peo
ples, we shall, I feel confident, con
duct our operations as belligerents
without passion and ourselves observe
with proud punctilio the principles of
right and of fair play We protcss to be
lighting for.
"I have said nothing of the govern
ments allied with the imperial gov
ernment of tiermany becowse they
have not made war upon us or chal
lenged us to defend our right and our
honor. The Austro-Hungarian gov
ernment lias indeed, avowed its un
qualified endorsement and acceptance
of the reckless and lawless submarine
warfare adopted now without disguise
by the Imeprial German government,
and it has therefore notbeen possible
for this government to NMtVft fount
Tarnowski, the ambassador recently
accredited to this government by the
imperial and royal government ot
Austria-Hungary; but that govern
ment has not actually engaged in war
fare against citizens of the United
States on the seas, and I take the lib
erty, for the present at least, of post
poning a discussion of our relations
with the authorities at Vienna.
Forced Into War
"We enter this war only when we
are clearly forced into it because there
are no other means of defending our
rights. It will be all the easier for
us to conduct ourselves as belligerents
in a high spirit of right and fairness
because we act without animus, not
i nenmity towards a people or with
the desire to bring any injury or dis
advantage upon them, but only in
armed opposition to an irresponsible
government which has thrown aside
all considerations of humanity and of
right and is running amuck.
"We are. let me say again, the sin
cere friends of the German people,
and shall desire nothing so much as
the early re-establishments of inti
mate relations of mutual advantage
between us—however hard it may be
for them for the time being, to believe
that this is spojeen from our hearts.
We have borne with their present
government through all these bitter
months because of that friendship—
exercising a patience and forbearance
which would otherwise have been im
possible.
"We shall happily still have an opr
portunity to prove that friendship in
our daily attitude and actions to
wards the millions of men and women
of German birth and native sympathy
who live amongst us and share our
life, and we shall be proud to prove it
towards all who arein fact loyal to
their neighbors and to the govern
ment in the hour of test. They are.
most of them, as true and loyal Ameri
cans as if they had never known any
other fealty or allegiances. They will
be prompt to stand with us In rebuk
ing and restraining the few who may
be of a different mind and purpose. If
there should be disloyalty, it will be
dealt with with a firm hand of stern
repression; but if it lifts its head at
all, It will lift it only here and there
and without countenance except from
a lawless and malignant few.
Many Months of Trial
"It is o distressing and oppressive
dutv. gentlemen of the Congress,
which I have performed In thus ad
dressing you. There are. It may be
many months of iiery trial and sacri
fice ahead of us. It Is a fearful tiling
to lead this great peaceftil people into
war, into the most terrible and dis
astrous of ail wars, civilization itself
seeming to be in the balance. But
the right is more precious than peace,
and we shall fight for the things which
we have always carried nearest our
hearts—for democracy, for the right
of those who submit to authority to
have a voice in their own govern
ments, for the rights and liberties of
small nations, for a universal do
minion of right by such a concert
of free peoples as shall bring peace
and safety to all nations and make
the world itself at last free. To such
a task we can dedicate our* lives and
our fortunes, everything that we are
and everything that wo have, with the
Dride of those who know that the dav
has come when America Is privileged
to spend her blood and her might for
the principles that gave her birth and
happiness and the peace which she
has treasured. God helping her, she
| can do no other.
PENFIELD MAY
BEAR A PEACE
MESSAGE TO U.S.
Ambassador to Austria Is Re
called by President Wilson
For Conference
Vienna, March 31, via London. April
2. The American ambassador, Fred
erick C. Penfield. confirmed to-day the
Impression here that he expects to re
turn to Vienna as quickly as possibi;
from his forthcoming visit to Wash
ington. He said he might be gone for
three months. His residence here will
be kept open.
The Ambassador and Mrs. Penfield
will depart on Wednesday or Thurs
day.
The news of Mr. Penficld's impend
ing departure made a great stir here
but the tlrst Impression was offset l>y
a statement from the Ambassador to
the press that his trip to Washington
was to be mado on account of Presi
dent Wilson's wishes to consult him in
regard to the present situation in
Europe. The State Department's mes
sage to Mr. Penfield says that during
his absence Joseph C. Grew, coun
sellor of the embassy will be in charse.
Mr. Grew is well acquainted with the
situation in Vienna. where he has
many friends in diplomatic circles.
At the Foreign Office It was learned
that no significance was attached to
Mr. Penfleld's visit to Washington
other than that given by the ambassa
dor himself. Mr. Penfield has not been
in the best of health recently, as he is
suffering from_.the strain of tho worlc
incident to representing most of the
entente powers here.
MAY DEAR PEACE MESSAGE
1-ondon, April 2. —The recent inter

he declared that the proposal of the

the Berlin Socialist newspaper Vor
waerts as "almost a peace offer" say*
a Central News dispatch from Amster

The newspaper, it Is added, believes
fhat the impending visit to America of

Frederic C. Penfield, is not altogether
unconnected with Count Czernln'r

The resolution follows:
"Whereas the recent course of the imperial German
government is in fact nothing less than war against the
government and people of the United States:
"Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that
the state of belligerency between the United States and the
upon the United States is hereby formally and;
"That the President be, and he is hereby authorized, to
take immediate steps not only to put the country in thorough
state of defense, but also exert all of its power and employ
v all of its resources to carry on war against the Imperial
German government and to bring the conflict to a successful
termination."
Washington, April 2.—Congress assembled at noon to-day for
a session generally agreed to be tnc most momentous in the history
of the republic.
President Wilson, ready with his address, which it is believed
will ask that a state of war exists between the United States and
Germany, waited only for the organization of the House of Repre
sentatives.
As Congress assembled President Wilson practically decided to
make his address to-day immediately after the organization of the
House, even if it should be deferred until the late afternoon or
early evening.
Democratic House leaders got word from the White House to
hurry the organization as much as possible. All plans had ben on
the expectation that the President would speak to-morrow, butthe
leaders promised to do all they could to meet his wish to speak to
day. Congress assembled with a majority openly in favor of a
declaration of a state of war, if not actually a declaration of war.

War Spirit Evident
The Capitol was arrayed in a war
spirit as Congress assembled. The
pacifist delegations wearing white
bands on their sleeves or white stream
; ers across their breasts, paraded the
sidewalks in numbers, tilled the House
and Senate galleries and made calls
on their Congressmen. They moved
about without demonstration and
there were few evidences of hostility
against them.
The patriotic pilgrims were hard to
distinguish among thousands of citi
zens who went about ih aay's work
wearing Vmerlcan flags. The national
colors fluttered and rippled from
buildings, automobiles and almost
every point of vantage. Tlys street car
companies placed them on their cars;
every traffic policeman's "go-go" sign
had a flag fluttering from its peak.
The Capitol was a wave of color.

There were 39 men aboard the vessel, 16 of them Americans.

The Aztec sailed from New York March 18, for Havre. She was
commanded by Captain Walter O'Brien. Sixteen members of the
crew were native born Americans.
The Oriental Navigation Company, owner of the Aztec also owns
the Orleans, one of the first American vessels to run successfully Ger
many's submarine blockade. TheAztec carried a full cargo of food
stuffs and general supplies valued at more than 5500,000.
News of the sinking of the American steamship Aztec was received
in Washington a few minutes before President Wilson began his
speech which was to deal with similar depredations by German sub
marine commanders.
The sinking caused a sensation as it was taken to be an answer to
the comparatively few men who had hoped the country could keep
out of war with the Central Empire. i

Senator Simmons said there was no

Prays of Patriotism
The House session opened with
Clefk South Trimble presiding until
organization was perfected.
The chaplain Included in his prayer
a plea for patriotism.
Nearly the entire Senate member
ship was present when Vice-President
Marshal called for order and, after the
invocation, the President's proclama
tion calling the extraordinary session
was read.
In the Senate the chaplain also re
ferred to the problems confronting
Congress.
Tho Senate after being in session

organization of tho House. Senators
Martin and Gallinger, the two party
leaders, were appointed to act with the
House Committee In notifying Presi
dent Wilson that Congress is ready to
receive a communication from him.
In moving for a recess until 3 p. m.
Senator Martin said:
President is Silent
"I understand there is a strong
probability that the House will per
fect its organization by 3 o'clock and
that the President will be pleased to
address a joint session as soon us it is
complete."
The President in his address, it is
understood, will refer to the tradition
al friendship between the American
people and the German people and to
differentiate between the German gov
ernment and the people It rules. He
also will recount his efforts to restore
peace to Europe and to maintain
peace with Germany.
Before going to Congress, the Presi
dent did not take even members of his
cabinet Into his confidence on the
exact terms of his address. From in
formation he has called for and gen
eral discussions at cabinet meetings,
they know that he has concluded that
war with Germany seems inevitable.

united in this crisis and stand by the
President.
Democrats Applaud
"I, with my sightless eyes," he said,
"would be of little use to my country
on the field of battle but I can cast
my vote to help it. I know of no bet
ter way to stand by the President than
to return his party to the control of
the House."
Democrats applauded Schall, but
Republicans were silent.
"The gentleman from Minnesota
has placed Mr. Clark in nomination,"

"I am glad to," said Mr. Schall.
Representative Green, Republican,
of Massachusetts, then nominated
Representative Mann, of Illinois, for
Speaker. Representative Lenroot, of
Wisconsin, seconded the nomination.
Challenged by Lenroot
Lenroot said that as a Republican
he could not allow to go unchalleng
ed the assertions of Representative
Schall. He has said that patriotism
demands that the organization of this
House be turned over to the Demo
crats, said Lenroot. "I cannot admit,
that Republicans are less patriotic
than Democruts. There ought not to
be any partisanship in considering the
great questions that will come before
this Congress. There will be none on
the Republican side of this house.
What wo need is the assistance of
every American, no matter what his
politics may be.
"This Is no time for any man to
criticise the President of the United
States but 1 do say in tliis hour it
would be better If the President were
compelled under the organization of
this House to consult Republicans us
well as Democrats."
