-A Few Irishmen and Pacifists Interrupt. The Resolutions. 12,000 CHEER FOR HARD-HITTING WAR Irish Attack the Mayor. Police Show Preparedness. A Boy Ready to Fight. Mr. Root's Address. Must Resent the First Blow. No Time to Hide Under the Bed. Dr. Hibben for Peace at Price of War. Must Fight Our Own War. Allies Fighting for Us. Fairchild Wants Roosevelt. The Pep in Pepper. Cheers for the Mayor. "Overt as Sumter," Says Roosevelt.
