Germany's latest affront in the tor
pedoing without warning of the
American tanker Healdton of
Holland with a loss of II American
lives will be answered by speed
ing up of all preparations for actI--
hosulides.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing are convinced that Ger
many's course is Fastening a clash.
They are believed to know that the
Kaiser's government is determined
on forcing a declaration of war
from this country. President vii
son met with the cabinet today to
consider developments to discuss
the progress by all departments il
preparing for all hostilities.
There is indication today that the
president after congress has defined the
state between America and Germany
will agument his cabinet by one or more
posts To cover the work OF transporta-
tion and possibly position to handle
the work of making munitions.
Government activity embraces such "A
wide range now that no accurte concep-
tion can be drawn as to the scope of the
preparations. President Wilson is per
sonally directing all these war prepara-
tions Secretary Daniels is directing
