CONGRESS GIVES
PRESIDENT POWER
Votes Wilson Right to Defend U.
S. Neutrality.
HOUSE CRUSHED BY SENATE
Object Is to Prevent Possible Violation
Of international Law In American
Ports-Resolution Modified at
White House Conference.

Washington, March 5.-Before its
adjournment on Thursday congress
placed solemn responsibility upon
the shoulders of the president in con
nection with the European situation.
Under cover Of penalizing violations
of neutrality, IL adopted a resolution
comforting authority upon the chief
executive to use the land and naval
forces of the nation to assist and de-
fend our neutrality.
The resolution as adopted by the
senate was not as sweeping as that
adopted by the house. 1t had been
modified as result of a White House
conference.
Senators pointed out to the presi-
dent that provision in the resolution
adopted by the house providing for
the internment of foreign ships In
American harbors found guilty of
an attempt to violate our neu-
trality laws would arouse Germany
and Austria-Hungary In the interest
of continued friendly relations with
those two states, they urged that the
provision be eliminated. This was
done.
After the senate had adopted the
modified resolution the house took
similar action.
Explaining the purpose of the reso-
luton during the White House con-
ference, the president told the sena-
tors that for two days he had been
considering plan for the application
OF an embargo upon munitions OF war.
He did not believe he had sufficient
legal authority to take such action
1t further was pointed out during
the conference that Germany had
charged us with violating neutrality
as result Of our action I'm freely sell
ing munitions to the allies.
There was the ever-present danger
under the existing conditions that our
neutrality and peace would be men
aced and It was deemed expedient for
the president to be armed, both for the
moral effect produced on Europe and
in view of possible developments dur
ing the time that will elapse before
congress reassembles in December
The resolution as modified by the
White House conference was passed
by the senate without debate. As It
was presented to the president for APP
proval he will be authorized:
/. To withhold clearance from any
vessel. American or foreign, which he
has reasonable cause to believe to
be about to carry fuel, arms, ammuni-
ton, men or supplies to any warship
or tender or supply ship of belliger-
ent nation in violation OF neutrality of
the United States.
2. To use the land or naval forces
to carry out the purpose of the reso-
luton.

STEAMER DAClA is
HELD BY THE FRENCH
American Ship With Cargo of Cotton,
on Way to Rotterdam, Is
Captured.

Paris, March "A French cruiser
has arrested the American steamer
Dacia in the channel and taken her to
Brest This announcement is official
ly made.
Washington, March 2.-Officials here
we're tremendously interested to learn
that the American cotton steamer Da-
cha, formerly of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, flying the German flag. had
been seized by a French cruiser and
taken to Brest. The capture of the
Dacia causes no surprise in Washing
ton, and even the fact that French
instead of an English wsrship would
take her into custody had been fore
seen. But this transfer of the ques-
ton of the ships status combined with
the already intricate points in the Da-
ella transfer from German to American
registry bids fair to make an interna-
tional case of unusual interest
Edward N. Breitung, an American,
bought the Dacia from the Hamburg
American company, secured American
registry, replaced the German crew
and undertook to lay down cargo Of
cotton in the German port of Bremen.
The German destination of the Dacla
on her first voyage under American
registry aroused British fears lest
American registry be used simply as
shield to permit the ship to reach a
German port. where she would resume
her discarded nationality. To meet
this objection Mr. Breitung changed
his routing to the Dutch port of Rot
terdam.

ALLIES TO END ALL
TRADE WITH GERMANY
Declare Kaiser Substitutes lndIserlm-
mate Destruction for Regulated
Capture.

LondoE, March 3.-Premier Asquith
announced in the house of commons
on Monday that the government had
decided to prevent commodities Of
any kind from reaching Germany or
leaving that country.
This means that no foodstuffs Of any
kind VIII be allowed to reach Ger
many. The embargo will also be ex-
tended to raw materials.
This action was taken by the British
government In retaliation for Ger
many's submarine warfare against
English merchant ships.
England win now try to starve Ger
many into submission II is believed
that the embargo OF the British gov
eminent upon foodstuffs and raw ma
terials will increase the activities of
the Germcn submarines in the bread
war" against England. In making the
momentous announcement, Premier
Asquith said:
There is no form Of economic pres
sure which we do not consider our
selves entitled to assert under exist
ing conditions"
Premier Asquith. in speaking of Ger
manys submarine war, declared:
Germany has taken step without
precedence in organizing a campaign
Of piracy aud pillage.
This is not the time to talk peace.
Those who do so are the victims Of
selfdelusion The allies will never
sheathe the sword till all objects
wherefore they have gone to war have
been achieved"
