No POLICY YET
IN MOVE AGAINST
GERMANY SUBS
After Today's Session Of Cabinet
Wilson May Have Policy to
Announce
ARMY AND NAVY ACTIVE;
PREPARE FOR WORST
Decision in Reference TO lmned.
late Extra Session Of Congress
Not Known
{Ass0ciRted Pfess)

Washington, March 20,-Further
steps to protect American lives and
property against the warlike opera
tions OF German submarines are ex.
pected to take some more definite
form after today's cabinet meeting.
A State Of War.
1t was learned definitely before the
cabinet meeting that the president,
while considering deliberately al
phases Of the situation, had mot final
ly made up his mind on any forward
step beyond the active preparation of
the navy for any eventuality.
For the present, President Wilson
is taking the position that at al
events, the nation must be placed IN
better state of preparedness because
he believes that from practical
standpoint, Germany is making war
on this country.
Members of the cabinet. before the
meeting, apparently, were agreed that
every possible step to safeguard Am.
erican rights should be taken, but
we're not sure whether anything
would be gained by advancing the
date of the extra session Of congress.
AS has been the case since all Om-
cial Washington acknowledged that .
state of war practically exists be-
tween the United States and Germany
there is wide range Of speculation
on the precise action President VIII
son contemplatese but there is no om-
cial grounds for any forecast.
. No Decision Yet. 4.
Calling of congress in extra ses-
sion before April 16, the day first
chosen for it's assembly, still con-
tinues foremost among the probable
tiles, but there are no indications that
President Wilson has finally decided
upon it. On the other haHd, there
were some indications that the date
of the session would not be advanced.
Preparations for carrying out the
policy of armed neutrality to its full
lest degree are being hurried in the
navy department.. The possibilities
of their execution range even to act
i've cooperation at sea with the Brit
ish and French fleet to clean tho
submarines out sof the shipping lanes.
Enlist Women.
Secretary Daniels today ordered
naval Commandant at shore stations
and all recruiting officers to be pre-
pared to enlist women In the actual
naval service in case of emergency.
The Observation-Disclosures ruled
that women can be enlisted under the
laws regulating recruiting.
While it is not intended to place
women aboard ships, they may be
utilized for shore duty in connection
with coast defense.
Grades corresponding to the Ye0-
man class will be given to those quail
flying as stenographers, clerks, typ
lists or similar positions. Another
grade of work for which they may
be designated is that of radio tele-
graphy and other communication d.
visions. ------ = I.

In 1912 he was barred from Russia
because of his articles in the United
States criticizing the Russian govern
ment's refusal to recognize the pass

"T believe continued Bernstein,
that the men in German trenches,
led to believe they are fighting de-
fensive war, will be the very leaders
of these uprisings in Germany. They
will demand drastic changes and re-
forms in the junker government that
has so Wickedly misled them, and that
has been responsible for the horrible
catastrophe now facing the German
people.
"A well known German writer told
me when / was in Germany last year
that he would not be at all surprised
if a revolution were to break out in
Germany At any time, led by man
now fighting in the trenches.
"This war has brought many ills In
it's train. B'ut it has brought one con-
solation'- characterization in the
ranks of armies everywhere. That is
why we see Russian. troops supporting
Russian revolutionariea, the same
troops that ten years ago helped to
crush the people.
II believe the entire Russian revo-
luton is due to the fact that the lib
eral element of the people believed
a separate peace would kill all imme-
diate hopes for democratic Russia.
1t knew Germany preferred a back
ward, reactionary Russia for a neigh
Dor. a Russia it could point to as
more reactionary than itself. ....
"Bethmann-Hollwegg and others of
the kaisers ministers must have been
unpleasantly surprised by the Rus
sian revolution. They would have well
coined a revolution that would have
split and weakened Russia and at the
same time driven Russia into their
hands.
"Real representatives of the Rus
sian people have revolted, not along
lines desired by the Germans, but
along lines of real liberalism and free
dom.
"And another dream of the kaiser
has failed to come true"

Petrograd, March 2O.-The history
of the last hour OF Emperor Nicholas
ruler of Russia, is related by CORE
spOndent of the OutrO ROssii of Mos
COW. as follows: - .st
1.-TWO trains arrived at the station
at Vishera, 125 miles southeast of Pc
trograd, on the night of March ID
One train carried the emperor's suite
the second the emperor, General Bar
on Fredericks, Minister of the Impe
rial House Rear, Admiral 'Nil0ff, Gen
eral label and others. Nicholas, call
ed from headquarters by the empress
was on his way to the Tsarskoe4Selo
...s1 Kept in Ignorance.
None of the kilograms about the
revolution sent by President Rodzian
ko of the duma had reached the en-
peror Every effort was made to
keep him in ignorance of these af-
fairs. General label protested, de.
claring that if the others refused to
inform the emperor he would do so.
Nicholas. who had been sleeping, was
awakened at o'clock in the morning.
He went to the dining car, and de
manded that Admiral Niloff tell him
what had happened in Petrograd. He
was told that crowd of students,
hoodlums and young soldiers had ter
rorized the duma, but that few de-
tachments of troops would be able
to put them down.
Truth Covered UP.
Just then, Commander Vioyekoff of
the imperial train entered with tele-
gram stating that 700 of the St.
George cavalry we're on the way to
the Tsarkoe-Selo to present cross
to the emperor, and had arrived at
the nearby station of Dino, headed by
General Ivanoff. ..
"Your Majesty, said Voyekoff, "it
is enough that you appear at the Tsar.

and with the TsarkoeISelo garrison
go to the duna. All the troops will
remember their oath"
"It will be easy to overcome these
young soldiers
1T is a lie, Your Majesty" shouted
General label. "You are deceived.
Read these kilograms. Here is the or
der, To the Imperial train at Wish
era: Do not send the train to Tsar-
koe.Selo, but to Petrograd.'
a.. "Is It Revoiution?"
The emperor arose and exclaimed:
what does this mean? Is it revo-
luton? Is Grekoff (who signed the
order to divert the train) commander
in Petrograd?" Then General label
spoke out, saying, There are 10000
troops with officers backing the tenn
porary government. Your Majesty
has been declared dethroned. 1T is

Nicholas, completely non-plussed,
"Why was I not told be-
fore? They tell me now when all is
finished
After a moment. he added, with
gesture helplessness:
'tLet it be so. Thank God. l will
abdicate if that is what the people
want. I will 60 to Livadia (the es-
tate of the imperial family on the

ANNUAL TOURNAMENT
Of THE GOLF CLUB
ON MAY 1911
Club Directors Are Planning
Big Entertainment For
The Members.

The annual flag tournament of the
Marietta Golf Club will be held on
Nav Is and II and promises to be
the biggest that the club has held.
There are more members now and
all of them are better golfers than
when previous tournaments have
been held and there is going to be
some fine golf and keen competition
for the prizes.
All members who wish to compete
must turn in their qualifying scores
on next Monday and Tuesday so
that the matches can be made and the
handicaps arranged. Eighteen holes
must be played by the men in their
qualifying rounds and in the turna-
ment but the ladies will only play
nine holes.
An entrance fee of SO cents for
the men and % cents for the ladies
will be charged and this revenue will
be used to pay for the prizes and
other expenses of the tournament.
There will be a number of prizes but
they have not yet been selected.
The club is planning a big night
entertainment for the members in a
few days. Mr.. McNeel says that the
directors wish to give the members
just as much pleasure out of the club
as possible and they can expect some
thing unusual and delightful. Wurm's
Orchestra will furnish the music for
the occasion and there will be some
local talent to furnish special fea-
lures.
The date will be announced just
as soon as the arrangements are COM
pleted.
