PncifiHt (leloKatloiiH here today turned their energies toward trying to persuade senators and representatives from voting for the state of war resolution asked by President WlUon. They also hean a campaign apparently do. Signed to prevent enlistments in the army and navy. Petitions were clr eulated by persons culling themselves representatives of the no-enlistment leaguo. ' Disorders of yesterday, Including several fist fights and small riots in headquarters of tho Kmergency Peace J,Tederalion on Pennsylvania avenue resulted today in the disappearance of many of tho arm 'hands and body banners worn by the pacifists. Sonio freely admitted that they had dispensed with their insignia through fear of being attacked. The few "kept us out of war" armbands tluit appeared on the streets drew from passing pedestrians and the drivers of vehicles jeers, hoots and hisses. Pacifists began their day by call Ing at the headquarters of tho (emer gency Peace Federation and asking for Instructions. They were told to go to the capital and see their respec tive senators and representatives. 'Try to persuade them not to vote for war," was tho word that was passed. Tho pacifists will hold a meeting this afternoon and later will send a delegation to seo President Wilson.

All preparations, the president urged, should be made In such way tts not to chock the flow of war sup plies to the nations already In the field against Germany. Measures to accomplish all these onds, tho president told congress would ho presented with the hest thought of the executive departments which will he charged with the con duct of tho war and he besought con sideration for thoni In that light. President Wilson's appearance be fore congress waB marked hy a scene of tho greatest enthusiasm ever shown Blnce he began delivering his addresses In person. Crowds on the outside of the capitol cheered him frantically as ho entered and as ho left. Congress roured cheer after cheer In an outburst of patriotic en thusiasm. Itoferrlng only briefly to tho long diplomatic correspondence with Ger many In his offer to bring her back to the bounds of the laws of Immunity and nations, tho president launched Into hlB denunciation of the course of tho German government which ho de clared had forced the United States to become a belligerent. "The wrongs against which wo now arm ourselves," he said, "are no common wrongs. They cut to tho very roots of human life." Disclaiming any quarrel with the German peoplo and anything hut a feeling of friendship nnd sympathy for them, the president declared their government had not acted upon their Impulses In entering tho wur nor witli their previous knowledge or ap proval. In scathing terms, tho presldont referred to Gorman plots against tho United States. It was evident, the president added that the spies wore here oven before tho wur began. That the German government means to stir up enemies at tho very doors of tho United States was eloquently proved, ho said, by the revelation of tho plot to embroil .liipan and Mexico In war with tho United Slates. 'We are accepting this challenge of hostllo purpose," said the presi dent, "berauso wo know that in such a government, following such moth- ods, wo can novor have a friend; and Hint in the protein e of Its organized power always .; :ig wait to accom plish we know ret whi.t purpose, iliere can be no . r'sured securl y !or the dcnioernlu i.overniiionlu rl 'he wcr il.

Towards Germany's allies, tho pre sident said, tho United States was taking no action at this time, because they were not engaged In warfare ugeinst Americans on the seas. The United States, ho said, was moving only against "an Irresponsi ble government, which has thrown asldo all considerations of humanity ami of right and is running amuck."

The fee for enrollment is f0c. At the close of the course, the examining fee will be 5t)c. The scope and purpose of the first aid work is described in the Hud Cross pamphlet as follows: "The course in first aid for women supplies useful and practical knowledge which all women should have, but does not pro vide the qualifications necessary for nursing service in time of war." Those who have taken first aid and desire active service will be assigned to work in diet kitchens, linen rooms, etc. 1 doctors to lecture. Dr. Clancy lias been authorized to deliver lectures in Medford. The ap plications of Drs. Stearns, Clara Dunn nnd County have been forward ed to lied Cross headquarters.

' ' ' SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINES LOCAL II TO BE RECRUITED Orders have Just been received by Captain Vance to Immediately recruit Company 7, C. A. C, to one hundred and fifty men. It is necessary now to put forth greater efforts than ever before to secure the required number of recruits and a vigorous campaign will be carried on In other tdwns in Jackson county to bring the strength of the company up to the required number and to this end T. H. E. Hathaway will captain the "flying squadron" to Eagle Point Thursday afternoon at 2 p. m April Gth to bo- cure recruits for Company 7. A runii or is being circulated which is ap parently authetlc, that the Coast Ar tillery of Oregon will be sent to tho Panama Canal Zone and Honolulu to man the coast defense batteries at those places. Since there is no need of the twelve companies of the Coast Artillery Corp of Oregon to be sta tioned at the mouth of the Columbia river, and as the Oregon Artillery Corps attained the highest efficien cy last year In target practice of any artillery troops in the United States either militia or regulars, it Is quite apparent that they would In all probability be sent to the most Im portant coast defense, when probable action might follow a declaration of war. . ' Therefore, with almost assured prospect of active service by the Ore gon Coast Artillery, the recruiting will, at onco be speeded up, and the required number of one hundred and fifty men -will be secured by the end of the week.
