"We want no territory, demand no indemnity, have no historic grudg- s. no antipathies," he said, "we are going to wax in defense of humanity, and to vindicate or racial honor. I don't believe the Germans desire war, but the eGrman government is desper ate." Senator Swan son said, "Germany has already invited Mexico, aad Jap an to join in warfare against the Uni- ter States. How much further moat he go?.. Can a nation do greater in- jury than insult our flag? ..The Gcr- an government and not the people, i he object of the war," said the senator. Pacifism ran v discordant under time through congress, but support i a war to a finish is assured. - Stotw Opposes Senator McCumber introduced a re- olution designed to pospone war with ii many, thus giving her a chance to Imnge her methods. He proposed hit the United States recognize the ight to establish a blockade. But onsMers the sinking of American hips without warning an act of war, hus "pausing long enough on the rink o fwar to allow Germany to i'hdraw her illegal submarining." Stone and Vardaman decried the ar move. "If congress involves Arn ica in the war it committs the great t blunder in history" said Stone. I'll rote against a mistake, to pre- ent which I would gladly lay down my life." M ALBANY MAN IS "CALLED TOM COLORS" E. E.
