After an interesting session of

Support and reputation of
President Wilson's Teutonic poll
cies by congress hangs in the bal
ance.
While the government gravely
awaits the first Austro-German
shot in the new campaign against
armed merchantmen, the capitol
prepared today for showdown
on the Wilson program, as a re-
suit of his request to Represents
tive Pou, acting rules committee
chairman, for a vote on the ques-
ton of warning Americans from
armed ships.
Congress was in a turmoil over
the Wilson challenge. The admin
istration was confident that its

NO REPORTS OF
TORPEDOING YET

LONDON, March 1.-The Teu-
ton proclamation of war on arm
ed merchantmen went into eff
feet at midnight last night, with
out any results apparent at a late
hour today.
There is nothing to indicate
that the sinking of the steamer
Thornaby, reported by Lloyds
today, was the first blow of the
Germans.
The number of submarines
operating off Italy is known to
have been greatly increased lately
probably in anticipation of the
new campaign. Through that
zone are now passing several
armed Italian liners.
The situation here is similar to
that at the dawn of the first Ger
man submarine campaign more
than a year ago. Some persons
regard the decree as a bluff, Of
fering bets that the submarines
won't sink a liner without warn
ing.
England contends that the Ger
mans distorted orders seized from
captive ships, making it appear
that the admiralty ordered armed

The letter to Pou caused a SEN

Mayor Fawcett reported that
Allen c. Mason, who had donated
