STRONG SPEECH BY LODGE
Washington, April 4. The war res
cilution was debated in the senate un
til late today, with the expectation
among supporters of the meature that
a vote 'would be reached early, this
evening. Senator La Follette. spoke
over three hours against the resolu
tion and when he had finished Sen
ator Williams replied to his state
ments.
It was planned to pass the resolu
tion before adjournment.
Senator L Follette concluded at
6:45 o'clock, after speaking three
hours, senator John sharp Williams
rose to reply, and sharply criticised
Senator La Follette's speech. "It
would better become Herr von Beth-
mann-Hollweg than an American
senator." he declared.
He said he expected the Wisconsin
arnatnr to defend the invasion of Bel
gium and called the speech pro-Ger
man, pro-uotn, pro-vanaai ana ami
president, anti-congress and anti'
American.
.. Williams Scores Colleague.
"The soeech of the Wisconsin sen
ator would better become Herr von
Bethmann-Hollweg than an Amer
ican senator, said senator Williams.
"In fact, he has gone further than
Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg would
ever have gone. Bethmann-Hollweg
said the use of the submarine could
be justified only on the ground of
necessity; the senator from Wiscon
sin puts it on the same footing as
Great Britain's interference with our
commerce.
"I fullv expected the senator from
Wisconsin before he took his seat to

most barbarous act ever committed.
I heard from him a speech that was
pro-German, pro-Goth, pro-Vandal,

congress and anti-American. .
Badger Leaves Chamber.
"While pronouncing , eulogy on

and more intelligent people the
American. His speech was exactly
what might have been delivered in
the German Reichstag by Bethmann-
Hollweg, if Bethmann-Hollweg had
had the audacity. But Bethmann
Hollweg had too much sense, too
much knowledge to make that
soeech."
At this point Senator La Follette
left the chamber, but remained in the
cloak room a while, within hearing
distance. ;
Continuing, Senator Williams said
he heard in imagination the groans of
men, women and children, sent to
watery graves by licrman subma
rines. Involved by Kaiser.
"But the. senator from Wisconsin

KENYON WILL VOTE
FORJESOLUTIOH
Iowa Senator Says He Will
Support Measure Saying
State of War Exists.
KIEBY ALSO IS IN LIME
Washington, April 4. Senator Cum
mins of Iowa announced in the senate
that he would vote for the war resolu
tion. Washington. April 4. Announce
ment was made by Senator Kenyon
of Iowa, who opposed the armed
neutrality bill and and was among
the "wilful men" mentioned by the
president, that he would vote for the
administration war resolution if , for
no othei; reason than for national
unity.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota,
.-Mother of the "little group of wil
ful men," announced he would vote
against the war resolution.
Senator Gronna concluded by say
ing that he had believed possible the
maintenance of honorable peace with
all nations.
"War will be an unpardonable err
or and blunder," he concluded. "After
it is declared we will have but one
cause to do our duty in our coun
try's defense. When that time comes
I shall do my full duty."
Another of the armed neutrality ht
ibusterers, Senator Kirby, democrat
of Arkansas, said he would vote in
favor of the war resolution because
he believed it would pass overwhelm
ingly and he desired to have the
country united, although he was op
posed to entering the war. ' .
Stone Strongly Opposed.
Senator Stone in opposing the reso
lution said: "I fear that, involving
the United States in this European
war will commit the greatest national
blunder of history. I shall vote
against committing this mistake, to'
prevent which I would gladly lay
down my life. .
"But if the constituted powers of
my goverpment shall decide for war
and we go into the wan then I shall
Mt-ml4-dbtS.'ndtT)rebodiiig:toth
winds and my eyes will be blind to
everything but the flag of my country
and my ears will be deal to every can
except the call of my country in its
hour of peril."
McCumber Wants Delay.
Senator McCumber, republican, pro
posed to postpone recognition of a
state of war by resolution to declare
the future sinking of any American
ship withoutwarning or failure to take
care of American passengers or other
violations of international law an act
of war, and authorize the president
to use the military forces of the
country to carry the war to a suc
cessful termination. 1
Senator McCumber said a "very
considerable portion of the people"
do not favor war.
"If this last effort of mine, he con
cluded, "shall fail, I shall acquiesce
in the judgment of the majority and
support my government in its every
war need and shall never vote to
sheath the sword until peace hon
orable and just shall be restored."
Address of Mr. Kenyon.
In announcing that he would vote
for the war resolution if for no rea-.
son other than the nation should not
be divided. Senator Kenyon of Iowa,
republican, said the fight for world,
democracy against autocracy was an
impelling reason. He opposed the
armed neutrality bill and was among
the group ot willtul men designated
by President Wilson.
Senator Kenyon said he had been
strongly opposed to entering the war.
"Patience has its limitations." said
-he. "The limits have been reached.
War is not of our choosing. The
German government is practically
waging war upon us. Uncle Sam,
that patient giant, has done his best
for peace. There will be no difficulty
in securing enlistment if the people
believe that this is a war to save the
democracy of the world and the honor
of our nation. If the rule of kings,
kaisers and czars be overthrown and
the government of the people arise,
then the hands of providence .will be
apparent
"This is no time for censuring one
another or denouncing those who
have been earnestly contending tor
peace. It is a time for 100 per cent
Americanism. The great reDublic
must accept the challenge of auto
cracy and go forth in battle for the
world's democracy. WJien we hit, we
must hit hard.
"Let us forget the making of money.
Those who would at this time make
excessive profits from war materials
or the food the people need are just
as guilty of treason as those who give
aid or comfort to the enemy and
should be treated as such."
Senator Kenyon said he was op
posed to any alliance in the war and
that if anything beyond co-operation
were proposed the president must
again come before congress. "The
question of sending an army to Eu
rope," he continued, "is not settled
by this resolution."

At about 9 o'clock this morning a

the fact that Kamarad had been the
driver and that he had taken to (he
farm barn of Pat Braden. The barn
was searched to no avail, but a mo
ment later he was discovered high on
the rafters in a dark place in a cow
barn near by. Sheriff Sutton called

Army Contract
Scandal Shakes Up
Austrian Cabinet
London, April 4. The Austrian
ministers of justice, war and finance
have resigned after the revelation of
a grave scandal connected with army
supplies, according to a dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph company
from The Hague. .
Three ministers assisted Dr. Franz,
formerly director of the Vienna De
posit bank, to escape the consequences
of having illegally sold foodstuffs to
the army at exorbitant prices.
At the trial of Dr. Franz documents
were produced which convinced the
judge that the ministers had forged
a paper which -was used in the ban
ker's behalf. They were summoned
as witnesses and admitted their guilt,
later resigning.

Another Problem for Neutrals,
Declares Dutch Newspaper
Amsterdam, April 4. (Via Lon
don.) The Nieuwe-Van Dem Dag
regards President Wilson's words in
his address to congress as showing
that the United States will participate
in the world war as vigorously as it
can. , . ,
"For neutrals," says that newspa
per, "it makes a great difference
whether America joins fully or only
partially in the war. A fresh declara
tion of neutrals will have to be made
and America must be recognized as
a full belligerent. Thus, for example,
armed, American merchant ships must
be keat by our government outside
our territorial waters.
"The effect which America's par
ticipation will have on our shipping
cannot yet be forecast, but will de
pend on the, measures Germany takes
against the new enemy."

Kaiser Denies Breaking Treaty.
Washington, April 4. Germany's
reply to the American note which re
fused to accept the interpretation of
the old Prussian treaties of 1799 and
1828 because of Germany's "flagrant
violations" of . the treaties, contains
almost no argument in refutation of
the American contentions, but states
that Germany will live up to that part
of the treaty dealing with Americans
in Germany.
Gcaraany denies having itself broken
the treaties and charges that this gov
ernment practically lias done so.
Blockade Not RecognUed. '
Germany's denial of having violated '
the articles providing for frcj inltr
course of either country with 'an
enemy of the other, on the ground of
a blockade, is considered absurd here.
Jta present submarine campaign is not
credited with the first qualification of
a blockade namely, effectiveness as
not 3 per. cent of the vessels entering
and leaving England are affected.
Germany's charge in its reply that
the United S.atcs has prevented Hie
departure of German vessels .' Amer- ,
ican harbors ia flatly denied except
for certain German vessels known to
be planning unneutral service in sup
