RUSSIAN REVOLT OPENS
WAY FOR U. S. TREATY

PETROGRAD, March 20, via London
March 21.-''Nothing now stands in the
way of new commercial treaty be-
tween Russia and the United States
said the new foreign minister, Prof
Paul Milukoff, in an exclusive inter:
view that he,<gave, to the Associated
Press today. Il think l am right in
saying that the United States is eager
for the resumption of old commercial
relations and for the removal of all
the disabilities governing Jews here
There now appears to be no obstacles
to such an event
"The details of such an arrangement
however, cannot at present be stated
they will have to be left tc the future
This" continued the minister, will
only be one manifestation OF the
closer relations into which the new
Russia hopes to enter with the demo-
cratic world. The old government in
its monarchical form was in close sym.
-pathy with Germany and Prussian
ideas. The new regime will find an
inspiration in the ideas of the western

GERMANY MAY NOT
AWAIT i. S. MOVE
Officials Consider Possibility of
Immediate Beginning of
HostiIities.
HAGUE PACT ONLY BARRIER

With the knowledge that the United
States is practically certain to declare
state of war existing, many officials
believe that Germany may begin war
like operations against the United
States in a fuller sense.
Although The Hague conventions of
1907. to which both the United States
and Germany are signatories, declare
that hostilities shall not begin without
formal notice to belligerents as well
as neutrals. it is recognized that The
regarded during the war in Europe that
no compliance with them may be ex-
pected with any confidence.
History Full of Precedents.
Before The Hague conventions there
was ample precedent for beginning of
hostilities without formal war declara-
tions. In the war with Mexico Gen.
Taylor's forces were over the Rio
Grande and two battles had been
fought before formal declaration of
war was made.
Japan struck Russia before the form
al Qeclardl1On OF war naQ reacneQ the
Russian capital. although one day pre-
viously the japanese ambassador had
notified the Russian foreign office that
Japan reserved liberty Of action in pro-
tecting her interests.
The precedents of history show that
the great majority of the worlds con-
ficts have been begun before formal
declarations OF war were made.
How Wars May Start.
According to authorities on interna-
tional law, a condition of war arises
in three ways:
1. A declaration of war.
2. A proclamation or manifesto de-
claring that state Of war exists
3. Through the commission of hos
tile acts of force.
One authority on international law
describing ways in which hostilities
may begin without formal declaration
says "acts of force by way of reprisals
or during a pacific blockade or during
an Intervention might be forcibly re-
sisted hostilities breaking out in
this way

Assured Of Support.
Since last Sunday. when three Ameri-
can ships were sunk of the British Isles
in quick succession, with loss OF Ameri-
can lives-bringing the total number Of
Americans lost through German subna-
rine operations to more than 200-the
President and all his advisers have recog-
nized that a state of war existed. From
all parts of the country have come calls
for the immediate summoning Of Con-
gress in extra session.
Although the President, by the provi-
sions of the Constitution, must leave it
laration of war. such advices as have
come 70 the White House from members
Of Congress. governors OF states. public
officials and many hundreds of citizens
have contained statements of support Of
such policy in it's fullest sense.

session, Is described by its members

The nation now actually comes to
the point which all the history Of CEN
turies Indicated must necessarily fol-
low the severance of diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany February 3.
when the President on that day
handed to Count Won Bernstorff his
passports and notified Congress that
he had severed diplomatic relations
altogether with the imperial German
government. the United States was
placed in position where all the
precedent of centuries was pressing it
toward war.
All official Washington openly ac-
knowledged that nothing less than
Germany's abandonment of her newly
announced campaign of submarine
ruthiessness could prevent it, and nc
one here supposed that Germany would
change her determination.
