Washington, March President
Wilson served notice on congress to-
night that he will consent to nothing
less than a record vote on the anti
administration resolutions to warn
Americans off armed ships before he
continues with the German negotia-
tons. No compromise, such as vote
of confidence in the presidents for
eign policy, will be acceptable as this
might be misconstrued in Berlin as a
sign that Wilson lacks the support Of
his own party, and serve only for the
purpose Of affording congressman a
way to avoid recording their posi-
tons before the country on the
straight out and out question.
The president made his position
clear tonight to congressional leaders
in unequivocal terms, and they, said
to be his real opponents in his first
fight with congress, went away re-
sentful Of his determined attitude.
Intimating that Germany's latest
note was not as satisfactory as some
of the preceding ones, Wilson assert
ed he would not move in the negotia-
tions until congress acts directly on
one Of the various pending resolu-
tions.
The rank and file of the Democrats
in congress are believed to be with

favor his attitude toward Germany's
