Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 64, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 April 1917 — Vote Down “Isolation” Measures. [ARTICLE]

Vote Down “Isolation” Measures.

Washington, April—6.—That the United States will wage war in unison with the allies was not doubted today. Rmerican ships and American soldiers will co-apaiate with Germany’s other enemies. This was plainly indicated in the dawning hours of tflris morning when the house, wearied by more than sixteen hours of fervid oratory, voted down several resolutions calculated to place America in an isolated position regarding the conduct of the war. One of these —designed to forbid American soldiers being sent to Europe without express consent of congress—was jeered as it went down to defeat.
