Washington, March 4.-One of the
most annoying incidents in the entire
administration of President Wilson, ,ev-
identy started by newspaper syndi-
cate that is opposed to the president,
is that he will resign the high office.
While the story has not been credited
by any other newspaper service, Sec
retary Tumulty today took occasion
to emphatically deny the statement,
and the language used by the secre-
tary did not conceal the fact that the
circulation of the report is keenly re-
scented.

Amsterdam, March 4.-Rumania
mourns today for the dowager queen,
Carmen Sylvia, the country's "little
MOTHER" lies dead after a weeks ILL
ness.
In humble cottage and in court her
death came as shock, for perhaps no
person of royalty was ever more be-
loved than Carmen Sylvia, poetess,
dreamer, democrat.
She was known throughout her own
land for her kindness to he people.
Elsewhere through the world she won
fame as a writer of "A Real Queens
Fairy Book" Shadows on Life's Dial,"
and others. Her funeral will be held
tomorrow.

Reds and Blues Engaged In An Active Contest

of the campaign.
It was noticeable this afternoon that
the Red flag which has been conspicu-
ously waved during the last two days
had almost entirely disappeared from
the street, the beautiful Blue buttons
having become so numerous, and be-
ing so modest and dignified, that the
Reds openly admitted they were be-
coming somewhat ashamed of their
color and had put it in into hiding.

The story was based on the conflict
which has been raging in the Demo-

Fool Story Is Started
That Wilson Will Resign

They were compelled to take vote
in the Senate, where the president
was sustained, though it was well
known that many who voted with him
were secretly opposed to his policy.
That there is deep-seated conspir-
acy to make Wilson unavailable for
reelection is asserted by many of his
friends, and the circulation of this
story is thought by them to be one of
the means for forcing him out of the
field at the next election.

the sinking by German submarine
without notice or warning OF an
armed merchant vessel of her public
enemy, resulting in the death of a
citizen of the United States, would
constitute just and sufficient cause
of war between the United States and
the German empire"
Several senator's explained that th'
double form Of the question was re-
sponsible for the character of the vote
as few senators wanted to vote OF
the question regarding cause Of war
President Wilson's position in the
international situation was upheld yes
terdaay by the Senate when that body
voted to table the Gore resolution,
which called for warning to Ameri-
cans not to travel on armed ships,
and to which Wilson was opposed.
Gore himself voted to table the res
olution SO that he might have an op-
portunity to ask for reconsideration
thereof.
The vote was 6S to IA in favor of
tabling.
Amid dramatic scenes, unparalleled
since the declaration of war upon
Spain, the Senate's action was taken.
1t was just 10 minutes and 40 Sec
onds from the opening of the fight
until Vice President Marshall an
|nounced the vote.
The nays were: Borah, Chamberlain,
Clapp, Cummins, Fall, Gallinger,
Gronna, Jones, Lafollette, McCumber,
Norris, ,O'Gorman, Sherman and
Works.
Senator McCumber opened the fight
by offering substitute
for the Gore resolution, declaring that,
in view of questions as to the validity
of the submarine warfare it was the
duty of every American to abstain
from the right to travel on armed
ships until President Wilson and other
countries had agreed on submarine
matters.
This resolution was tabled.
Thereupon Senator James called up
the Gore resolution and demanded the
ayes and nay on tabling it. Gore
lcountered with an amendment to his
resolution, and asked permission to
discuss the amendment, which provid-
ed that submarine sinking of an
armed ship, with the death of an
American consequent thereupon should
be deemed cause for war with Ger
many.
This eleventh hour move came as
an unexplained surprise, as it meant
practically new resolution amount
ing to an ultimatum to the Central
Powers, and it caused a change Of
several votes. Senator Vardaman fa-
vored the original resolution, but vot-
ed to kill the amendment.
BY the single record roll call, the
Senate swept aside, not only the Gore
resolution, but also the amendments
and substitutes and clfnched the whole
question in favor Of the administra-
ton.

ments which are literally crushing
her.
"The Allies had not expected to be-
gin the spring campaign until late in
March or early in April. Germany's
only hope lay in striking before her
enemies were ready. She seized that
forlon hope and has utterly failed,
meanwhile sustaining tremendous
losses and sending horrible process
sion of mangled men back home to
show to the German people how ut
terly their hopes are crushed.
"This is the beginning of the end.
England is already beginning a great
offensive at Ypres. There are re-
ports of increasing activity by the
Russians on the east. These are the
first movements of the Allies for
what will be the worlds greatest Of
fensive movement, the Allied troops
numbering ten millions. No nation
in the world could stand against that
force, and nothing but surrender can
be the fate of Germany and Austria,
with complete loss of their military
and naval power. Just how soon that
will come no one can predict, but it
must be within year-probably with
in a half-year.
"The Russian invasion of Turkey
was a stroke of supreme military ge-
MUS and it has helped to make Ver-
dun the distinctive turning point in
the war, which now can have but one
end-the total eradication of Prussian
militancy."
