Washington, April 4. Urging "no
faltering, no division and no weak
ness in the nation" Senator Hitch-
ock upon the opening of the Senate
began argument for the war resolu
tion. "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."
