PRESIDENT HOLOSUP
.jUDGESH|P DECISION
GRAVE FOREIGN SITUATION MAY
PREVENT HIS MAKING
NOMINATION NOW.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The grave
foreign situation, which is complete
" engrossing President Wilson's titre,
may result in postponing for severa!
weeks decision OH the federal Judge
ship contest in the southern district
of Georgia.
Senators Smith, and Hardwick gaze
out interviews yesterday to the effect
that they had no intimation that the
president contemplated sending Judge
Frank Parks name to the senate
Senator Hardwick said: 'The attor-
ney generals office informed me
there was no basis for this report"
From a source close to both of them,
this statement was handed out:
Since neither of the senators cred
it's the report concerning Judge Park s
selection by the president for the
judgeship, both of them refused today
to indicate what would be their at
titude in the event of his nomination.
IhCre is strong Dellel, however, thdl
they would ask the senate to reject
the nomination, more especially since
the congressman, in his applicancy
for the appointment, had not sought
the endorsement of either of them. .
,, Senator Hardwick was especially
resentful of the action Of Judge Park s
colleagues in going to the president
and the department of justice with
their endorsements instead of coming
to him (Hardwick) since he claimed
the office as his personal patronage.
The house members rather pointedly
declined to accept his point of view.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Some Shippers Think Germanys
Move Won't Hurt Shipping.

There is a great difference of opin-
ion among across the sea" shippers
as to whether the latest move of Ger
many will injure shipping to foreign
ports to a much greater extent than
has been the case within the past
several months 1t means. they say,
that neutral countries will not take
charters, but this does not necessar-
ily mean that there will be no foreign
ships here. as the English merchant
men will continue in future as in the
past to take chances.
A foreign shipper told a News ren-
resentative yesterday that no English
shipping agency had cancelled CON
tracts and from this if may be inferred
that matters are not nearly as bad as
was at first thought.

of Woodrow Wilson's second term as

entertainment for those who come 10
Washington to attend the event.

plenty of bands and enough gay dec

of arrangements make the prophecy
that the ceremonies of the day will be
as brilliant and picturesque as at any
previous inaugural event. Prediction
is made also that the crowd of visit
ors who will come from every moo
and corner of the United States vii

as to attendance is based largely or

President Wilson addressed a
joint session of congress this after
noon. He recalled the protest made
on April sth, following the sinking
Of the Sussux on March 2fth. and
Germany's answer in which the as
was made that the opera
tions OF the war would be confined
to the fighting forces of the belliger-
ents, which was qualified by an in
timation that they did not think the
neutrals should expect Germany TO
restrict the use of an effective
weapon for the interest of the neu-
trails when the enemy continued to
applv methods of warfare in viola
to- of international law.
He called attention also to the
note OF May 8th to Germany, stating
il was taken for granted that Ger
many did NOT intend to i'm
ply that a maintenance of this
policy was contingent upon the
course or result of negotiations be-
tween the united states and other
belligerents. declining to entertain
the suggestion that the respected
rights of Americans upon the high
seas by German naval authorities de-
pended IN the conduct of other gov
ernments. No reply was received
to this note. This government has
no alternative consistent with dig
nifty and honor but to take the
course announced in April in event
of no declaration or abandonment of
submarine warfare. He said, there
fore. he had directed the secretary of
state to announce to Ambassador
Won Bernstorf that the relations are
severed aud that the American am
bassador be Immediately withdrawn.
He said that he refused to believe
that the intention Of Germany was to
do in fact what the warning says
they feel at liberty to do. He can
not believe she will disregard the
ancient friendship and obligations
and wilfully destroy American ships
and lives :.
