Swamp-Root and I am satisfied that
there is not a superior kidney, liver
and bladder medicine on the market
I enjoy a steady and satisfactory sale
on the remedy and my customers
have nothing bnt praises in behalf of
the merits of Swamp-Root I am so
favorably impressed with the prep,

in need of such a medicine, because I
firmly believe it is a valuable and

able understanding of international
law and the obvious dictates of hu
manity," he would aga'n appear before
congress to ask authority to "use any
means that may be necessary for the
protection of our seamen and our peo
ple." "
As he concluded there were cheers
of approval from both sides of the
chamber and the president returned
to the White House to discuss meas
ures of precaution with Secretary
Daniels of the navy and Secretary
Baker of the War department.
i Diplomats Attend.
There was an unusual attendance of
diplomats to hear the president's ad
dress. Practically all the South Amer
icans were represented . and inany
other neutrals.
The gravity of the occasion was
further p'ctured by the presence, of
the justices of the supreme court and
members of the cabinet upon the floor.
When the president concluded con
gress rose and again cheering re
mained standing while he left, the
chamber.
While the president was addressing
congress, Law Adviser Woolsey of
the State department was at the Ger
man embassy with a communication
for Count von Bernstorff which con
tained passports for the ambassador,
h's wife, the embassy staff and his
suite, which comprised more than a
hundred persons.
Expressions of Approval.
There were expressions of support
and approval of the president's course.
As the joint session dissolved, both
houses went back to their work.
Soon after Count von Bernstorff's
passports arrived, United States secret
service men threw a guard about the
ambassador and his suite to make
certain that the hospital'ty of the
United States is not violated while he
remains on American soil The status
of Count Tarnowski, the Austrian am
bassador was undecided, although he
called at the State department to ar
range lor presenting his credentials
to President Wilson.
For months, ever s'nee relations
with Germany became acute there
have been ominous signs of threatened
activities of German sympathizers and
disloyal Americans if diplomatic rela
tions were broken off. The admini
stration has not been unmindful of
these. Var'ous branches of the gov
ernment have informed themselves on
the subject far more completely than
miglk be thought.
Can Handle Situation.
Officials express themselves as
satisfied that they will be able to cope
with the situation. In the army and
navy, and in the citizenship generally,
officials realize that the composite
character of Amer'can nationality
makes it difficult not to find some per
sons who Will express sympathy with
the land of their birth.
The attempt to sink the- torpedo
boat Jacob Jones at Philadelphia to
day is recognized as an instance of
some of the things which may be ex
pected, but on the whole all the
agencies of the government believe
they have made preparations to meet
such ex'gencies or are prepared to
meet them as they arise.

PLEADS FOB REFERENDUM
New York, Feb. 2. William I.
Bryan; declared at a peace meeting in
Madison Square garden here tonight
that it would be a crime against the
nation and the world if the United
States nters theEuropean war. He
praised highly President Wilson's ef
forts in behalf of peace and asserted
that the president's recent address to
the Senate had placed him among the
nation's immprtals.
The mass meeting was called by the
American Neutral Conference com
mittee to voice approval and support
of the president's peace policies. A
resolution was adopted pledging un
faltering support of the president in
any effort to keep the nation out of
war." " '"-
Mr, Bryan roused the audience to
enthusiasm when he asserted the con
stitution shourd be amended by pro
viding for a referendum on the declar
ation of war.
No nation has challenged the
United States, Mr, Bryan declared,
but if any nation should, this would
be the answer, he said, the country
should give: 'No, we have the welfare
of 100,000,000 peOpel to guard; price
less ideals to preserve and we will not
wallow with you in a mire of blood
to conform to a false standard."
"God forbid that we should go to
war with a nation .that is not an
enemy and does not want war with
ns."
