goiiate With Germany Over
The Submarine Controversy.

Washington, Mar. S.-With his
hands unleashed by the action of con-
gress In refusing to warn Americans
on armed belligerent liners, Presi-
dent Wilson today prepared to re-
sumo his submarine negotiations
with Germany. Prompt action In
both the German and the British con-
troversies Is expected.

ret orders OF the British admiralty

have translated the appendices sub
mitted to this government by Ger
many in support Of the claim that
such orders exist. With Photographic
copies Of the alleged orders, the ap-
|pendices are ready for action by Sec
retary Lansing.
German Ambassador Won Berns-
tori arranged to confer with Lansing
lat IL o'clock.
ALI adherents OF the administra-
tion expressed satisfaction with the
house vote tabling McLemore's warn
ling resolution.
The final ballot of 276 to 143
demonstrated to the satisfaction Of
administration supporters that con-
Igress stands behind the president In
his feelings toward Europe.
Congress still seethed today on the
armed liner issue. 1t was believed
another debate might break ont at
any time and continue indefinitely.
Several Representatives are expected
to seize the first opportunity Of ex-
planning their votes on the warning
measure.
Senator Stone has definitely pre-
pared his explanation, and 1t may be
delivered soon.
Bickering over the effect Of the
house vote promises to continue.
Those opposed to the administration
argued that the merits of the real
issue whether Americans should be-
warned to keep OFF armed liners
were still unsettled. The agitation
for such warning is expected to
continue, but the chance that there
will be another vote on the PROPOSE
tion is remote.
Advocates OF a warning pointed
out the roll calls showed there was a
real division between President Will
son and congress on the armed liner
policy Of the president.
The White House. however, felt
there was no danger Of Germany mis-
constituting the presidents support in
congress- The political effect Of the
contest is in doubt
More defections besides those OF
Congressman Page and Sherwood are
expected. Republicans, It is believed,
will enlarge on the administration
refusal to permit vote on the merits
of issuing warning.
