BRAZIL LAUDS SPEECH GIVEN
BY PRESIDENT
Y (By Associate Press) RIO JANEIRO, Aprils-President Wilson's'' address - to congretfs is expressed with 'remarkable clariy, says A Noite,, which adds: "There Is' no wordy rhetoric In this document. It sets forth calmly and emphatically the centra) facts which have led the great -American nation into its present situation after a long series of feeble negotiations which
created a most unfavorable impress
ion . In regard to the energy of the
government of the United States. "President Wilson has thrown the light, among other important aspects of tlM situation, upon the Machiavellian work of Germany in North America, arwork both formidable and audacious which began even before ' the ileclaration of .war. This Information Vm be of great value to future historians, whose duty it will be to determine Vpon whom shall fall the unspeakable jr sponsibllity for this world conflict. f "The entire address Is worthy of fiorusal and reflection, because we cannot remain idifferent to events of such f ravity. We cannot fail to be In symjr ithy with the President of the United States, however, when he expresses egret for. the fate of the German fieople, forcd into this gigantic conflict' by the folly and autocratic will ff their leaders.; ; ; . J'We. assert that the leaders will call down .upon -themselves the-curse of their most fanatical admirers of today js' soon as there shall be dissipated
the morbid dreams which the Hohenpollerns have been able to inspire in
orer to build up their domination.
SENATOR HITCHCOCK ASSERTS THIS NATION IS COMPELLED
ENTER INTO
TO
HOSTILITIES
(By Associated Pre i) WASHINGTON, April 4. Senator La Fellette. who yesterday forced the war resolution over until today, was not in the chamber when Senate got unanimous consent to take it up. . Almost every other senator and many ; house members were present when the -debate began. In a brief opening statement, Senator Hitchcock, in charge of the resolution, said the present was 'a time
for action, not discussion. Time for Action Now "The ' time for discussion has passed," he said. "The president has already stated more clearly, effectively, more conclusively, the reasons which make this grave step necessary. The resolution provides for war against the Imperial German government. It is framed on the lines of other war resolutions. It places responsibility for the war squarely upon
the shoulders of the German government, charged with repeated acts of war against the United States. It is also .unquestionably a declaration of war. ( ' ' ' ' :' ' '' '. '"I am' impressed with 'the solemnity of the; occasion.' Some may be filled with Joy at" the prospect of war. To me it is depressing' and dreadful. The enormous cost, which the people must pay, the great increase in the cost of living, the enormous burden cf debt that the people must bear and the still greater heritage of death stag
gers my mind. The awful sacrifice of
lives that must follow sickens my heart, I am sure many other senators feel as I do." . 1 Want No More Territory. "We want no more territory," said Senator Hitchcock. "We will demand no indemnity. We have no historic grudge to settle nor racial antipathy, in this respect we differ from the other countries already involved in the awful struggle. There is pan-Slavism against pan-Germanism. Italy . wants back. the Trentino; France, her lost provinces; Great Britain has German commerce and German colonies almost in her grasp; Russia wants Constantinople, and Germany, besides her place in the sun, wants to dominate Europe. "We, of all nations, will spend our treasure and our blood and sacrifice .our lives without the thought of possibility of gain. We are going to war to vindicate our honor and independence as a great nation and in defense
of humanity. Such quarrel as we have with Germany is not of our choosing. It was forced upon us, and we did much to avoid it. For nearly three years the President, congress and the American people have hoped to avoid it. But one desperate act by the imperial German government has followed another. I do not mean to say Germany has declared war' with us I do not believe that. But the imperial German government has become desperate and has taken desperate chances." -

GERMAN STATEMENT
BRINGS JOKE FROM m '
STATE SECRETARY
j ; (By Associated Press)
; WASHINGTON, April ' 4. ' When
secretary Lansing's attention was di
fected today to an apparently inspir
ed statement from Berlin that a state
tf war would effect. no. change in Ger
many's treatment of Americans in
Germany, he thought a moment, smilti broadly and exclaimed, "I am sorry
to hear that."
S Apparently officials here think the
Cnly change could be -one for the
better.
I The only comment on the farther
Itatement that Germany would not go
to war with the -United' States "even tf the United States went to war with
fcer, was that that would make" it
much easier for this country. If Ger
many does not consider bomb, plots in this country, the Zimmerman note.
and her ruthless campaign acts of
war, officials here are at a loss to
know what she would do if she actual-
ry declared war in her own terms.
