would Justify a war with Germany on
account of her refusal to grant safe
conduct to such ships.
at may be that American citizens, as
a survival of the times when pirates
and privateers invested the sea. have
the technical right to travel on armed
merchant ships. Out of respect for
their own safety. out of respect for
the peace and welfare of a hundred
million of their fellow citizens. they
ought to forego the exercise of such
a hazardous right.
THE best peace insurance and the
best preparedness against war which
the United States can adopt for the
are unwilling upon their own motion
to forego the exercise of this right to
abstain from placing the nation in
such serious peril"
Stirs Sentiment for Warning.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, who
is one of the stanch advocates of leg
islative action, was active today in
arousing interest among senators In
the proposal.
He held an extended conference on
the subject with Senators Overman,
democrat. of North Carolina, and Cum
minis. republican, of Iowa. Some time
after his conference with Senator
he did not know how strong was the
sentiment in Congress for legislative
interference in the negotiations.
Il do not believe" he added. that
the situation is matter for either
house of Congress to deal with. AS to
the strength of the sentiment, you can
not judge numbers by the loudness OF
clamor."
Later Senator Stone said:
Il think it would be unwise for Con
gress to take any action while the
President and State Department are
conducting diplomatic negotiations
with Germany over the submarine is-
sue. II Congress is to take any action
nothing should be done until diplomatic
efforts have been exhausted.
Senate leaders today agreed upon an
adjournment tonight until tomorrow
instead of continuing the old legts-
lative day by recess. This Will give
Senator Gore an opportunity to Intro
duce his warning resolution and his
bill tomorrow. and 1t Is expected the
Senate will debate the issue fully
when 1T Is presented.

Representative Fosters proposal Mr..
Shackleford talked with Representa-
tive Flood early in the day and also
far has taken no active part in the in
formal discussions that have been go
ing on for several days.
Anxiety in the Senate.
In the Senate. where there is consid-
cradle anxiety over the foreign situa-
ton, Senator Gore was waiting for an
opportunity to introduce a measure
contemplating even more drastic &C.
! tion than the House members propose.
He has prepared a bill to compel Amer
leans to make oath in obtaining pass
ports that they would not travel on
armed ships of nations at war But the
Senate had recessed last night, thus
barring the door to Introduction of any
Legislation without unanimous consent
Senator Stone. chairman of the foreign
relations committee, who has been con-
ferring. on the subject with Senate and
House leaders since his interview with
the President. was resolute today in a
determination not to discuss the situa-
ton at this time. The senator is re-
ported to have expressed the view pri-
vately that he would not oppose legis-
lation If the majority in Congress are
for 1t.
In so far as opinion can be gagged in
the Senate. majority of republicans
and democrats feel that the President
should not be interfered with in the
diplomatic negotiations with Germany.
Democratic senators, however, admit
that the situation is critical and deli
cate. They feel that to oppose the
President would be embarrassing and
humiliating to the party, but many of
them recognize that there is a strong
undercurrent of sentiment favoring an
official warning to Americans to keep
Off armed ships.
