Germany Thinks Congress VIII Force
Wilson to Back up on German
American Situation-Many
Cases Unsettled.

Washington, ID. CA high state de-
partment official explains the reason
for the administration opposition to
the issuance of a warning for Amer
leans to keep off armed ships. He
said following the Lusitania torpedo
ing Germany promised not to attack
unarmed liners in the future without
warning. Then, before the case had
been settled, the torpedoing of the
Arabic occurred. Settling the Arabic
case Germany promised not to attack
any liner without warning. After sew
eral months of informal negotiations
Germany phrased final reply in the
Lusitania case satisfactory to the orig
inal American demands. Before a for
NAL agreement had been reached Ger
many issued a proclamation of war
against armed merchantmen. This,
which was wholly inconsistent with
the settlement, nullified it. If the
government warned citizens it would
place the administration in a position
Of multiplying or even repudiating the
Lusitania demands.

final instructions from Colonel Koose-
welt. plans will be put on foot here to
bring the Moose and Republican or
carnations together for a united hght

The only serious obstacle in the way
at present is that by getting behind
the national ticket the Progressivees
also would be expected TO make as little
trouble as possible in the Illinois state
situation.

Mr.. Ickes issued a short statement
TO-DAY advising the Progressives TO
await the action Of the national corr
mlttee. on June %, before committing
themselves individually.
Mr.. Revell and Alderman McCormicS
were enthusiastic over the Republican
national ticket. As they have been
two Of the mos; ardent Roosevelt men
in Illinois for years, their statements

accomplish as much as did the patriots
Of 1875. 1912 and 1860"
Governor Johnson OF California
said he would reserve his opinion un-
til after he had had a talk with koose-
Welt. His friends said. however. that
it was not impossible for johnson 10

The Democrats. meanwhile, are try

to upset the peace negotiations
between Gen. Scott and Oregon.
The decision to send Ameri-

the negotiations have not been
called off, however.
Officials said that European
powers might desire intervention
Also American interests owning
huge properties in Mexico are
regarded as likely to want in
