BRITAIN GREETS
UNITED STATES’
WESTMINSTER, England, (Thurs
day).—If the resolution welcoming the
entry of the United States into the
f war, which was passed unanimously
by both houses of parliament yester
day, seems a little out of date it has
to be remembered that owing to the
delay of congress in coming to a de
cision, parliament had risen for the
Easter recess before the news was re
ceived. On the reasembling of par
liament, however, the first opportuni
ty was taken to express in a foi-mal
way the British appreciation of Amer
ica’s action.
In the house of commons, Mr. Bon
ar Law moved the resolution, already
cabled, in the unavoidable absence of
the prime minister. Mr. Asquith sec
onds in a speech of great eloquence.
John Dillon spoke in behalf of the
Redmond Associated Irish party and
the Wardle, Labor party, for the reso
lution, which was then declared car
ried with the unanimous consent ol
all parties, except the party of one
which includes only Mr. Ginnell. Mr.
Ginnell’s “no” was emphatic.

successful. He called the adhesion of
America the turning-point in this war
and enumerated the qualities ’ of
America shown in the Civil war and
those other qualities of .resourceful
ness, energy and adaptability which
has been conspicuously successful in
the arts of peace and would now be
directed with equal success in the arts
of war. He expi-essed the hope and |
belief that a change was coining, and 1
that the long night of sorrow and an
guish* which had desolated the world
was drawing to a close. He welcomed
the new ally for the moral justifica
tion her action gave to the Entente
cause, and recognized the entry of the :
new republic as a fitting pendant to
the Russian revolution.
President Wilson’s aims and ideals,
Mr. Bonar Law concluded, were those
of the Allies and there was no method
by which these ends could be secured
except by lighting for them.
Mr. Asquith, who followed with a;
speech which constituted a fine ex
ample of formal oratory, described
America’s action as one of the most
disinterested acts in history. What
was it that had enabled the president,
after waiting with patience which Pitt
described as the first virtue of states
manship, for the light moment to
carry a united nation into the hazards
and Horrors of the greatest war in
history ?
It was the constraining force of con
science and humanity growing in
strength and in compulsive authority
month by month with the gradual un
folding of the real character of the
German aims and methods. The things
which were at issue in tins unex
ampled conflict Mr. Asquith enumer
ated as justice, humanity, respect for!
law, consideration for the weak and
unprotected, chivalry toward enemies
and observance of good faith, all that!
they used to regard as commonplaces
of international decency.
Such issues Mr. Asquith held to be
superior even to the question of rear- ,
ranging the map of Europe on the j
basis of nationality. In such a situa-;
tion, aloofness America saw to be not j
only a blunder but a crime. She had
now dedicated herself without hesita
tion or reserve, heart and soul and '
strength, to the greatest of causes. 1 o
that cause, stimulated and fortified by
her comradeship, Mr. Asquith added,
“we here renew our own fealty of de
votion.”
Mr. Dillon referred to “President
Wilson’s difficulties in governing a
united nation, including nearly 20,000,
000 citizens of German blood and 15,
000,000 of Irish blood,” anil in dealing
with nations which had a traditional
deep seated and irradirable hatred ol
war. The fact that America would
have a seat at the peace conference
hai^ a special meaning to every op
pressed nation in Europe, ar.d the
Irish people knew that at the peace
conference they would have a friend.
In moving the resolution in the
house of lords, Lord Curzon described
! how the nations had gradually been
drawn into line against Germany. Af
j ter showing how few material consid
erations there were to draw America
into the war, he said she had tardily
but definitely entered the struggle be
cause she saw therew as at stake a
cause,greater than the lights, or lib
erty, cr honor of any individual peo
ple. Not merely did the act invest
the figure of America with a glory
that would never fade but it stamped
the character of the struggle as an
uprising of the consicence of the
world, as a “combined effort to put an
end to the rule of Satan on this
earth."
The Marquis of Crewe also dwelt
on the value of the moral force behind
America's act and remarked that
America’s entry into the war might
have been made impossible if the
foreign office in its blockade had
trampled utterly on the rights of the
neutrals, as its critics desired.
After the archbishop of Canterbury
had spoken, Lord Bryce said there
were three things dear to the Ameri
can heart, freedom, international law,
and justice and kindliness and com
passion for innocence and suffering.
All these feelings had been trampled
under foot by the governmento f Ger
many. The United States had been
specially called on to deliver an im
partial judgment.
I he house recognized in the action
of the American peoples the expres
sion they had given to the judgment
of mankind, their common devotion
with themselves to the same lofty
ideals, their common loyalty to the
same time-honored traditions. These
were the surest guarantees for that
perpetual friendship of the two Eng
lish-speaking peoples, to which this
country looked to secure the perman
ent peace of the world.
At question time Lord Robert Cecil
stated that America was not a party
to the pact of London, while Sir Al
fred Mond stated that every effort
would be mgde that the Stars and
Stripes should be flown alongside the
Union Jack on government buildings
on Friday.
Wednesday—Mr. lionar Law, chan
cellor of the exehecquer, today moved
in the huose of commons, a resolution
welcoming the entry of the United
States into the war. The resolution
was as follows: That this house de
sires to express to the government and
people of the United States, apprecia
tion of the action of that government
in joining the Allied powers and thus
defending the high cause of freedom
and the rights ofh umanity against
the gravest menace by which they had
ever been imperiled.
The motion was seconded by M r.
Asquith and supported on behalf of
the nationalist party by John Kcu
mond and on behalf of the labor party
by Mr. Wardle, acting leader of tin
party in the house.
“NOME DYNAMITER” \\ ANTS
TRAVELING CON.ST ABU I. Ain
(Juneau Empire)
Frederick Zorn, sometimes called
the 'Nome Dynamiter” and sometimes
the “Alaska Prospector,” who now
is interested in mining ground in the
Mt. McKinley district, is strongly in
favor of a traveling constabulary in
Alaska to run down criminals and
make life safe.
“I could point out the work of a
half-dozen Krauses,” writes Mr. Zorn,
who gets his name “Dynamiter” be
cause he sold dynamite and not be
cause of lawlessness. "If our law
makers have any laws to make,” con
tinues the letter, “the first one should
be to provide a traveling constabulary
system in the wilderness of Alaska.
Many lives have been snuffed out by
suclv slippery eels and crawling hu
man tigers as that Edward Krause.”

WASHINGTON, I). C. — Hoth
houses of congress passed the alien
< enlistment bill Wednesday. After an
afternoon of vigorous debate in the
1 house of representatives, in which
were rejected, one after another, many
amendments to the bill as reported
by Chairman Webb of the judiciary
committee, the house, with scarcely a
dissenting voice, gave its consent to
the recruiting of foreign citizens by
foreign agents representing allies of
the United States on American soil.
The senate, with little debate, had
passed the measure early in the after
noon.
Strong opposition in the house made
the administration measure loom
! large as one of the important war bills
of the extraordinary session. The bill
amends the criminal code of the Unit
i ed States, which has prohibited the
[recruiting in the United States, either
i by Americans or by foreign agents, of
armed forces for other countries. As
the amended law will stand, a large
army oi loreign-Dorn citizens not
now naturalized in the United States
and subject to no American conscrip
tion laws which would not bring
forth international complications, may
be raised in this country to battle in
Europe in the war for peace.
The attack upon the bill, started by
Representative Madden of Illinois,
was based upon contentions that the
law would take away from the nation
the very people upon which it most
depends for food and war supplies.
It was also alleged that trouble would
arise from permitting foreign agents
free sway in recruiting within the
United States.
Many long and oratorical speeches
were made by members who support
ed the administration bill as it came
from the committee. Some went so
far as to favor even conscription of
foreign subjects by foreign agents in
America. They said that many of the
foreigners in the United States are
trained soldiers and really owe allegi
ance to their native lands. These,
said the congressmen, have a double
duty in the war, because of their duty
to their land of birth and their land
of adoption. It were better, they de
clared, that these people should first
answer the cull to protect what is
nearer and dearer to them than to tin
main body of Americans, before hoy.
from American families are sent to
help.
The law which the act will amend
was denounced by members who de
clared that at such a time no such
law should remain on the statute
books, exempting a great body of val
uable men from service, willy nilly.
Only iu case they go to fight of their
own accord and at their own expense,
can foreigners join their native armies
under the unamended law.
The bill as finally passed will apply

INVALID COOK Kin KNOWLKDGt
WOMAN’S NKKD IN \\ \K TIM
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
April 20.—Every woman and youn
girl should know something about ir
valid cookery, because of the gien
numl er of wounded soleliers who wil
probably be corning home to tonva
lesce during he next two years, d(
dared Mary F. Rausch, assistant pin
lessor of home economics in the ex
«
tension division of the University o
Washington, in her demonstration o
fruit and vegetables in the diet befor
the housekeepers’ conference held o
the campus last week and of whie
she had charge.
“Women are not expected to give ui
all recreation because of the war,
said Miss Rauscli. “Do not stop ask
ing your friends to have dinner witl
you, but do have them to simple af
fairs. 1 should be ashamed to give ;
seven or eight-course dinner with con
ditions as they are.”
One good result of the war, accord
ing to Miss Rausch, will be to teacl
the housekeepers of the nation to usi
a great many foodstuffs which the;
have been unaccustomed to utilizing
Among these, she said, are variou:
kinds of greens, of which cabbage am
turnip sprouts, radish tops, mustart
plants, and sorrel are common exam
pies. She explained that these shoult
all be cooked like spinach, draining
the water off and pouring on fres)
water after boiling five minutes.
“The day may come when you pa>
a dollar a pound for carrots,” she tie
dared.
Among the hints she gave towarc
economy were to conserve gas by us
ing shallow pans, to all save bits ol
fat and fry them out in a double boil
er to prevent scorching, and to serve
smaller portions. She saidsc he was
a firm believer in people having all
they want to eat, hut that she had of
ten seen plates come to the kitcher
with half a meal on them in house
holds where the mothers declared nev
er a morsel was wasted.
Examples of fruits and vegetable?
prepared according to the recipes giv
en with the course were passed among
the audience.
DEER GOING WEST.

captur'd by Senator Hill acting on
his own initiative. A bill to have the
islands in the Prince William sound
