PLEADED GUILTY
TO IMMORTALITY
German Agents Knew Gov
ernment Had Too Much
Evidence of Plotting.

New York. March 21.-Two reasons
were assigned tonight by government
officials for the unexpected pleas of
guilty entered by Charles n. Wunnen-
berg and Albert O. Sanders indicted
for engaging in a military enterprise
against a power with which the United
States is at peace in carrying on which
they sent spies to England to obtain
information for the benefit of Ger
many.
One of the causes of their move, It
was said, was the knowledge that fed
cral agents raidcd their offices yes
terday and seized papers declared to
be highly incrimnating. When what
appeared to be black papers were
treated with Il solution of chemical
tablets dissolved in vinegar, the au-
thoritics found, they asserted, secret
writing in German. Translations were
made and would have been used as
evidence by l. prosecution.
Tho second reason for the step was
believed to be the fact that Il letter
which one of the defendants sent to a
friend admitting they had him right"
came into the possession of the. gov
crnmcnt.
While the decision of Wunncnbcrg
and Sanders not to stand trial has
STOPPED for the time being a full cx-
posure of their plot is still probable.
1t was said that some of their agents
WHO are detained in neutral European
countries may be sent back here for
trial.
Two of these agents are in Holland
and a third in Denmark. Another Is
being hunted for in Canada and a fifth
Is aboard a steamship now approach
ing English waters.

Washington. March 2l--A complete
readjustment OF rates charged by the
federal war risk insurance bureau for
insurance of American vessels and
cargDcs. including an increase to three
per cent Of the charge on all ships

nonnccd tonight by ourcau officials.
The changes follow the extension Of
insurance to many classes OF contra :
band not heretofore insured. and are
accepted as a recognition OF the prac-
tical state of war with Germany and
of the additional risks incurred by the
nrning of American merchantmen.
Until now the rates ON vessels bound
for European ports through the war
zone have varied up to a maximum of
two pcrsccnt.
In the readjnstmcnt the rates be-
tween Atlantic coast ports arc made
twice those that apply between Pa
Cific coast ports.

Washington, March 2l.--Membcrs of
congress still in Washington received
President Wilson's call for an extra

the close organization fight In the
house would not be permitted to delay
action on the grave questions to be
submitted by the president.
The senate organized and adopted
its anti-filibustcr rule during the re-

their contest will be settled promptly

both branches may get down to busi-
ness within few days after they as

Many Republicans are opposed to
permitting tho balance of power to

proposed plan which would eliminate
them from the fight would receive
hearty reception in the Republican

Washington. March 2i.-Recognition
of the provisional council of ministers
as the de facto government of Russia
has been accorded by the United
states through conversations carried
on by Ambassador Francis at Petro-
grad. This was stated at the state de-
partment today with the explanation
that full recognition OF the new gov
ernmcnt would be delayed pending
demonstration Of it's stability.
Today's press reports saying the
former emperor and empress had been
deprived Of their liberty and the for
MGR ordered back from his retirement
TO Pctrograd caused uneasiness, as
possibly indicating control by an ex-
trenist radical group.
Radieaiism Feared.
Officials here think the great dan
ger IN the Russian situation lies in the
possibility of attempts to destroy the
moderates now in power, either by the
former raflfng party, or by the extreme
soctalist revolutionary party. The ar
rest of the former emperor and his
wife is being watched, therefore, with
the fear that it may foreshadow a long
period of unrest in Russian internal
affairs and the crippling Of the coun
try's resources for war.
For this reason, the Immediate
recognition of the new government.
which was desired because of it's an
nounced republican principles, will be
postponed until affairs have had time
to settle. Ambassador Francis is call
ing regularly at the foreign office,
however. and transacting business as
with the duly constituted authorities.
The first complete official account
OF the Russian revolution reached the
department in a delayed dispatch from
Ambassador Francis, dated March II:
THE only menace possible" the re-
port said, lis in socialistic demon
strations by minority socialistic
groups"
Agree With Socialists.
a later dispatch from the ambassa-
Cor indicates there has been some sort
Of agreement between the revolution
ary authorities and the Socialists.
Officials are following the difficult
ties IN Russia. not only because of the
question of American recognition.
which Is admitted to be largely a for
nality. but especially because of the
vital effect they believe those develop
ments may have in Americas own in
tcrest. The Gripping of Russia's mill
tary strength at this time. or the pos
sibility of separate peaee. are vital
affairs to the United States through
the practical state Of war now existing
between this. country and Germany.

FIRST DUTY OF U. S.
is TO PREPARE-TAFT
Lord Doesn't Look After
Children, Drunks and u. S.
DEPosED RUSSIAN czAR, coNsoRr

Richmond, Va, Marcn o1-Former
President Taft in a public address
here tonight declared that there are
! worse things than war and one of
those is the dishonorablc yielding of
invasion of your rights because you
are afraid to fight for your rights and
maintain them.'
Mr.. Taft spoke in the interest of the
League to Enforce Peace:
Prepare-First Duty.
The first duty of the United States
when war is inevitable is to prepare"
he continued. I'VE have proceeded on
the theory in the past that the Lord
looks after children, drunken meh, and
the United States. But it is time to
awaken to the realization that We arc
forced into war with the most military
nation in the world. Even now we
say that with the British navy and
danger. We ought not to lay that
flattering JUNCTION to our souls"
Mr.. Taft recitcd instances by which
Germany has forced the United States
to the very edge of war and declared
that president Wilson is empowered
with authority to arm the merchant
marine and that its guhners have the
right given them as American citizens
to use their weapons against the
skulking submarines"
Must Secure Great Peace.
THE break with Germany and the
immmcnce of war furnish the strong
est arguments for the League to En-
force Peace and all who support the
plan should realize that they can now
do more effective work even than they
have heretofore
'As we are forced into the war, our
sole purpose must be- to secure the
right kind of peace after the war,
for ourselves and for the whole world
"A permanent and righteous peace.
This fact is fundamental to the
whole question and ought to be kept
constantly before the minds of all our
people we arc contending for "a
righteous and permanent peace and
for nothing else whatsoever"
