Although some of the men would probably be exempted because of phy sical disability, a large majority could be called to service. In Harrisburg there are 13,835; and in the town ships of the county, 12,035. Steelton would furnish 2,899; Mid dletown. 852: Susquehanna town ship, 1,187; Swatara township, 808; and Rush township, the smallest number, 12. Harrisburg's number list ed by wards follows: First, 758; Sec ond. 1,668; Third, 162; Fourth, 650; Fifth. 826; Sixth, 735; Seventh, 1,396; Eighth. 753; Xinth. 2,461; Tenth, 1,- 503; Eleventh, 1.363; Twelfth, 975; Thirteenth. 585. These totals include men ranging in age from 20 to 45 years, and are furnished to the State. Men, to protect bridges, manufac turing plants and other property which might be damaged by German sympathizers, can be deputized by Sheriff W. W. Caldwell, should this eventually become necessary. It is not expected that this will be necessary, however, as the State troops would probably be called first. Congress Agrees to Push Through Army Bills Without Delay Washington, April 3.—House leaders to-day planned to have the House pass perfunctorily four important appropri ation bills which the Senate failed to act on at the last session, in the same form as passed by the House of the last Congress and as reintroduced yes terday. They are: Army, carrying $247,061,108: sundry civil, $138,241,964; general deficiency, $62,583,250; and mil itary academy, $1,348,496. Chairman Dent, of the House Mili tary Committee, announced that the army and military academy measures were to be pressed through within 24 hours, under an agreement between Democrats and Republicans.

James R. McCon nell. of Carthage. N. C., and Henry E. M. Buckley, of Rhinebeck, N. V.. who lost their lives while serving with the French army. McConnell was a member of the Franco-American Aviation Corps and was killed last month in an engage ment with a German aviator. Suck ley was commander of the Second American Ambulance at Saloniki and was killed in Macedonia on Marcli 26. The church was crowded-with Amer icans serving France in some form or resident here, including Ambassador Sharp. Bishop Brent of the Philippines spoke on the character and devotion of McConnell and Suckley. McConnell's body will be burled in the devastated zone of the German retreat where it fell. Demand For Flags Too Great For Manufacturers New York, April 3.—Unprecedented demands for American flags of all sizen from great banners to be flung to the breeze down to small emblems to be worn in the buttonhole, have swamped flagmakers with orders far beyond their capacity, inquiry among local manufacturers here revealed. The calls in the last 48 hours, it was said, have put the flag factories three to five days behind their orders. • One firm said that from its three fac tories working with augmented forces about 2.000,000 flags of all kinds are being turned out each week. A fourth factory, it announced, had Just been opened to handle a SIO,OOO government order for flags for various branches of thg national military and civil services. From the general public, it was said, the greatest demand is for button hole flags. Would Extend Financial War Aid to France Washington, April 3.—Representative Andrew J. Montague, of Virginia, has introduced two bills to aid France. One asked for a gift of $1,000,000,000. The other proposed a gift of $500,000,000 and a loan of $300,000,000. Both were referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The measures would authorize the President to borrow money on the credit of the United States by issuance of bonds payable in fifty years, and bearing interest at not to exceed 3 per cent. Governor Montague will ask for immediate consideration of the measures. In discussing the advisability of giv ing or loaning money to France, Rep resentative Flood, Virginia, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Commit tee, said: "I would favor a loan to France, but I would hardly go so far as to favor a gift of $1,000,000,000." PRESIDENT TELLS WAR IS THE O TO GERMANY'S ATTACK ON U. S. J By Associated Prtst Washington, April 3.—President Wilson last night asked Congress to declare a state of war existing between the United States and Germany. While the news of the submarining of the steamer Aztec—the first American armed ship to sail into the war zone—was being told from mouth to mouth in the Capitol, the President, appearing before House and Senate in joint session, asked Congress to recognize and deal with Germany's warfare on America. The President said war with Germany would involve practical cooperation with the governments now at war with Germany, including liberal financial credits. He urged the raising of 500,000 men by universal military service. The President made it clear that no action was being taken against the Austrian government and the other nations allied with Germany. President "Wilson spoke as follows: "I have called the Congress into ex traordinary session because there are serious, very serious, choices of policy to be made, and made Immediately, which it was neither right nor consti tutionally permissible that 1 should assume the responsibilty of making. "On the third of February, last, I officially laid before you the extra ordinary announcement of the Imper ial German government that on and after the first day of February it was its purpose to put aside all restraints of law or of humanity and use its sub marines to sink every vessel that sought to approach either the ports of Great Britain and Ireland or the west ern coasts of Europe or any of the ports controlled by the enemies'of Germany within the Mediterranean. Brokcu Promise "Thathad seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war. but since April of last year, the imperial government had somewhat restrained the com manders of its undersea craft in con formity with its promise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk, and that due warning would be given to all other vessels which its submarines might seek to destroy when no resistance was offered or escape attempted, and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their lives in their open boats. "The precautions taken were meager and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and un manly business, but a certain degree of restraint was observed. Policy Swept Aside "The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their char acter, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have 'ieen ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning, and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals alorg with those of belligerents. "Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium, though the latter were provided with safe conduct through the prescribed areas by the German government it self and were distinguished by unmis takable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or of principle. "I was for a little while unable to believe that such things would in fact be done by any government that had hitherto subscribed to the humane practices of civilized nations. Interna tional law had its origin in the attempt to set up some law, which would be respected and observed upon the seas, where no nation had right of dominion and where lay the free highways of the world. By painful stage after stage has that law been built up with meager enough results, indeed, after all was accomplished that could be ac complished, but always with a clear view, at least, of what the heart and conscience of mankind demanded. "This minimum of right the Ger man government has swept aside un der the plea of retaliation and neces sity, and because it had no weapons which it could use at sea except these, which it is impossible to emploV as it is employing them without throw ing to the winds all scruples of hu manity or of respect of the under standings that were supposed to un derlie the intercourse of the world. "I am not now thinking of the loss of property Involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of noncombatants, men, women and children, engaged in pur suits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history been deemed innocent and legitimate. Property can be paid 'or; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot Against Mankind "Tlie present German submarine warfare against commerce is a war fare against mankind. It is a war against all nations. American ships have been sunk, American lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us very deeply to learn of, but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have been sunk and over whelmed in the waters in the same way. There has been no discrimina tion. The challenge is to all mankind. "Each nation must decide for it self how it will meet it. The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a temper atcness of judgment befitting our char acter and our motives as a nation. We must put excited feeling away. Our motive will not be revenge or the vic torious assertion of the physical might of the nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single champion. "When I addressed the Congress on the twenty-sixth of February last, I thought it would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful interfer ence, our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. "But armed neutrality it now ap pears Is Impracticable. Because sub marines are In effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, It is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would de fend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase upon the open sea. It is common pru dence In such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to de stroy them before they have shown ' their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. "The German government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which Jt has proscribed, even in the defense of HARRISBURO t&TELEGRXPH sh "* MS ■ ' tiik IM:KSMHINT rights' which no' modern publicist has e\ 4 er'questioned their right to defend. The Intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchantshlps be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as - pirates would be. Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual; it is likely once to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents. Wc Will Not Submit "There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making. We will not choose the oath of. sub mission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array our selves are not common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life. "With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragical character of the step I am taking and of the grave responsibilities which it in volves. but in unhesitating obedience to what I deem my constitutional duty, I advise that the Congress de clare the recent course of the Im perial German government to be in fact nothing less than war against the government and people of the United States; that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it and that it take immediately steps not only to put the country In a more thorough state of defense, but also to exert all Ita power and employ all Its resources to bring the government of the German empire to terms and end the war. U. S. to Co-operate "What this will involve is clear. It will involve the utmost practicable co-operation In counsel and action with the governments now at war with Germany, and, as incident to that, the extension to those governments of the most liberal financial credits. In order that our resources may, so far as pos sible, bo added to theirs. It will in volve the organization and mobiliza tion of all the material resources of the country to supply the materials of war and serve the incidental needs of the nation in the most abundant, and yet the most economical and efficient way possible. It will involve the imme diate full equipment of the navy in all respects but particularly In sup plying it with the best means of deal ing with the enemy's submarines. Need 500,000 Men "It will Involve the immediate ad dition to tho armed forces of the United States already provided for by law in case of war, at least 500,00(1 men, who should, in my opinion, be chosen upon the principle of universal liability to service, and also the au thorization of subsequent additional increments of equal force so soon as they may be needed and can be handled in training. To Ix;nd Allies Money "It will involve also, of course, the granting of adequate credits to the government, sustained, I hope, so far as they can equitably be sustained by the present generation, by well con ceived taxation. I say sustained so far as may bo equitable by. taxation because it seems to me that it would bo most unwise to '>ase the credits which will now be necessary entirely on money borrowed. It is our duty, I most respectfully urge, to protect our people so far aB we may against the very serious hardships and evils which would be likely to arise out of the Inflation which would be pro duced by vast loans. Aid For Entente, "In carrying out the measures by which these things are to be ac complished we should keep constantly in mind the wisdom of interfering as little as possible in our own prepara tion and in the equipment of our own miHtary forces with the duty—for it will be a very practical duty—of sup plying the nations already at war with Germany with the materials which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance. They are in the field and we should help them in every way to be effective there. "I shall take the liberty of suggest ing, through the several executive de partments of the government for the consideration of your committees, measures for the accomplishment of the several objects I havementioned. I hope that it will be your pleasure to deal with them as having been framed after very careful thought by the branch of the government upon which the responsibility of conducting the war and safeguarding the nation will most directly fall. For Cause of Pcaee "While we do these things, these deeply momentous things, let us be very clear and make very clear to all the world what our motlvej and our objects are. My own thought has not been driven from its habitual and normal course by the unhappy events of the last two months, and 1 do not believe that the thought of the nation has been altered or clouded. I have exactly the same things in mind now that I had In mind when I addressed the Senate on the 22d of January last; the sam<s that 1 had in mind when I addressed the Congress on the 3d of February and on the 26th of Feb ruary. Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and the justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles. Beginning New Age "Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by or ganized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. We have seen the last | of neutrality in such circumstances. ; "We are at the beginning of an age I in which it will be insisted that the same standard of conduct and of re sponsibility for wrong done shall be observed among nations and their gov ernments that are observed among the individual citizens of civilized states. Sympathy For German People "We have no quarrel with the Ger man people. We have no feeling to wards them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their Im pulse that their government acted in entering the war. It was not with their previous knowledge or approval. "It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined upon in the old, unhappy days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the Interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed to use their fellow men as pawns and tools. Work Under Cover "Self-governed nations do not fill their neighbor states with spies or set tho course of intrigue to bring about some critical posture of affairs which will givei them an opportunity to strike and make conquest. Such de signs can be successfully worked only under cover and where no one has the right to ask questions. "Cunningly contrived plans of de ception or aggression, carried, it may be, 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. No autocratic government could be trust ed to keep faith within it or observe its covenants. It must be a league of honor, a partnership of opinion. In trigue would eat Its vitals away: tho plottings of 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 tJiat assurance has been added to our hbpe for the future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia? "Russia was known by those who knew it best to have been always in fact 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 rsallty 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 native 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. Censure For Prussia "One of the things that has served to convince us that the Prussian auto 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 oun commerce. "Indeed it ia now evident that its APRIL 3, 1917. Wars of the U. S.

Sought to Be Generous "Even in checking these things and trying to extirpate them we have sought to put the most generous in terpretation possible 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 we ourselves were), but only in the selfish designs of a government that did what it pleased and told its people nothing. Hostile to U. 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 eloquent 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 aj*d its power. We are glad, now that we see the facts with no veil of false pre tense about them, to f.fht thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, 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 Selfish 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. Wo shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as se cure as the faith and the freedom of the nations can make them. "Just because we fight without ran cour and without selfish objects, seek ing nothing for ourselves but what we shall wish to share with all free peo ples, we shall, I feel confident, con duct our operations as belngerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for. "I have said nothing of the govern ments allied with the imperial gov ernment of Germany because they have not made war upon us or chal lenged us to defend our right and our honor. The Austro-Hungarian gov ernment has 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 not been possible for this government to receive Count Tarnowski, the ambassador recently accredited to this government by the imperial and royal government of 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 in enmity 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 earily re-establishment 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 spoken from our hearts. We have borne with their present government through all these bitter months because of that friendship— exewlslng a patience and forbearance which would' otherwise have been Im possible. "We shall happily still have an op 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 are in fact loyal to their neighbors and to the govern ment in the hour of test. 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 Prm 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 a distressing and opnresslva WILD CHEERING GREETS WILSON'S WAR ADDRESS Two Cavalry Troops Serve as the President's Body Guard NEED 500,000~MEN AT ONCE Great Demonstration Is Given Chief Executive During Stirring Address Washington, D. C., April 3.—Presi dent Wilson last night asked Congress to declare a state of war existing be tween the United States and Germany, While the news of the submarining of the steamship Aztec—the lirst American armed ship to sail into the war zone—was being told from mouth to mouth in the Capitol, the President, appearing before House and Senate in joint session, asked Congress to rec ognize and deal with Germany's war fare on America. The President said war with Ger many would involve practical co operation with the governments now at war with Germany, including liberal financial credits. He urged the raising of 500,000 men by universal military service. The President made It. clear that no action was being taken against tha Austrian government and the other nations allied with Germany. Guarded by Cavalry The President reached the Capitol about 8.40 p. m. As his' big motor swung around before the east front ol the big building two troops of the Sec. ond Regular Cavalry, on guard, sabers glittering under the arc lights, swept the plaza clear, while the hundreds of people cheered. He was taken im mediately to the Speaker's roorii and then into the House chamber, whera the senators were just filing in. Six members of .the Supreme Court, who had taken seats in front of the Speak, er's stand, stood and faced about. The President entered amid deafen ing cheers. Never had he been greeted as he was last night. Both sides joined with a will. It was noticed that Sen ators La Follette, Stone and Cummins, who helped defeat the armed neu trality bill in the last session, did not join in the aplpause. Senator La Fol lette stood with arms crossed and head sunk over his chest. Senator Lane, another of "the group, applauded mildy, and Senator Kenyon more vigorously. Voice Strong: and Clear The President began his address ai soon as quiet was restored. He spok slowly at first, then faster than usual His voice was clear and grew strongei as he proceeded. It was a very serious and quiet audi, ence. Not until the President declared "We will not choose the path of sub mission" did his auditors applaud, Those words drew shouting and liand clapplng. No attempt was made by Speaker Clark to curb it. Scarcely had the sounds of this demonstration died away when th President declared that the Congress should declare that a state of war ex isted, and a second demonstration began. The Capitol was under military con. trol while the President was there. Long lines of uniformed polici stretched about the building and guarded tlje entrances.
