bunch of things never attempted by
anyone else. Quite a bit of interest
has been created by this act, and last
night there were many volunteers
who wanted to try to tie him up se
curely beyond - any '. possible' . escape,
"Tuck" Savage was among this num
ber, and did his best to fix Raffles,
but to no avail.
Hill and Hill present u new and
sparkling comedy playlet on the mis
taken identity order entitled The Wig
Maker, that will keep the audience
continually laughing, and Hicks and
Seymour, the nifty singing and danc

a novelty that will introduce all the
latest song successes, while the cho
rus' numbers are all new and make
this Show one that will undoubtedly
prove one of the bsst attractions of
the season.
BEAUTIFUL MAE MURRAY
AT
THE GRAND TOMORROW.
Mae Murray, the beautiful and cap
tivating Lasky star, who recently
scored such a success on the ParaT
mqunt Program in "The Plow Girl,"
will be seen at the Grand tomorrow
in the Jesse L. lasky production, "On
Record," an unusual drama written
by John B. Clymer and Paul West,
and prepared for the screen by George
Dubois Proctor. ,
Miss Murray has shown that she
is one of the most versatile of the
youager generation of actresses on
the screen. " In "The Dream Girl' she
scored an emphatic success as a
whimsical little waif of the streets,
and in "The Plow Girl"Vshe more
than doubled her popularity. It is
expected that she will score even a
greater triumph in "On Record."
How matters are adjusted and the
girl exonerated are brought about in
a manner that only John B. Clymer
and Paul West can devise.

it, I sought out the President and beg
ged him to remain longer, if possible,
under the policy of armed neutrality
as an expedient for peace. But the
President had information in his pos
session which made it impossible.
"This country is ready and Con
gress is ready. While the vote , has
not been recorded, the' decision has
been made. It is war. v
"I cannot vote against war," Senator
Hitchock said in conclusion, "without
doing a vain and foolish thing. It
would only serve to weaken my coun
try In the face of the, enemy and the
world when war is inevitable. I am
ready now to take my place with
those who will back up the President
for the. honor and protection of the Na
tion." Senator Swanson said the German
government "has repeatedly and gross
ly violated its treaty obligations to us
and wantonlv broken solemn assur-
War has-already been declared upon
us. The issue is whether we shall ac
cept war or abject and cowardly sub
mission." Reciting the sinking of the Ameri
can ships German plots and outrages
in this country, Senator Swanson said
the Zimmermann plot to incite Mex
co against this country "reaches the
owest depth of national turpitudes."
' "The absurdity of the scheme;" said
the Virginia Senator, "does not . lessen
its shameless enormity. The fact that
it fell upon unwilling ears does not
lessen our belief that the German
government, when oppresssd, is will
ing to do. us serious harm and mis
chief. "We have long suspected a, dispo
sition by Germany. to dispute the
Monroe Doctrine. Now is the time
to teach this mischief-making German
-P,yernment that our territorial sov-L
. ereignty cannot j&emade :a shjeetK
of war bargaining. ' ; r f
"The advocates of peace now would
place upon: this Nation the shame of a
still greater submission They would
endure still greater affronts and suf
fer still greater -submission."
Senator Swanson asked if the warn
ings given Germany , against ruthless
submarine warfare were '"mere emp
ty boasts and bluff or the- solemn voice
of a resolute people."
"No," he said; "Congress will not
by cowardly action declare that diplo
matically we roar, and . then when
rebuffed strike with the gentle hand
of a woman' r
-Armed neutrality would now be a
cowardly makeshift," said Senator
Swanson. "We cannot avoid war.
When the war-made autocracy that
now ; rules Germany has been chas?
tened or , overthrown, the case , of
friendship now severed will be re
united. "
"The clock1 of National patriotism
now strikes for each of us our hour
of work and responsibility."
Senator" Lodge, ranking Republican
of, the Foreign Relations -Committee,
said: ' - : - - ' ' -
"This is. a. moment for action and
not for debate," but he wished to
state why he supported the resolution.
"We hate submitted, to wrongs and
outrages-from the Central Powers of
fiurope-wrongs which ? involve not
only injury to property; bat the de
struction of. American lives -with a
long patience," said Senator- Lodge,
"Wet have borne and foreborne to
the very limit of . endurance. . Now
the inevitable ; end is , here and we
are about to declare war, against
Germany.
. -4Speaking or- myself and, I hope,
for - my associates - generally on this
side of the chamber, I desire to say
that . in this crisis and when the
country is at war, party lines will dis
appear, and this disappearance of the
party line will; I am confident, not
ba confined to the : minority. ; Both
Democrats and Republicans must" for
est narty in the presence of the
common danger. As Americans, we
shall all, ; I am sure,, be prepared to
give to the executive money men,
and all the necessary powers for wag
ing war with , energy and driving . it
forward; to a successful . conclusion.
The President has made recommen

"We have only a very small-army
