Particularly violent antagonism was
expressed against . the president's
separation of the German government

definite issue witb his fellow senator,
I La Follette, prefacing his remarks
with the statement that every man In
the United States would prefer to
vote against war if something less
than the life and honor of the nation

He expressed the view that the tre

Senator Hustings declared that the

United States in the present crisis.
