WILSON ASKS FOR
: CAUTION IN CRISIS

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-While
the United States stands before the
world court of public opinion in the
anxious waiting period which will de-
termine peace or war with Germany,
President Wilson is determined that
there shall be no word or deed to
merit reproach, even from Germany
herself.
Nothing is to be done which is not
fully justified by the laws of nations
and humanity; nothing is to be done
for expediency; nothing is to be done
which is not legal and just.
With hope for peace, and readi-
ness to meet war if it must be, the
president has made it clear to all his
officials that the course of the United
States, difficult as it is, must be entire
ly beyond criticism.
To Protect German Rights.
To that end German rights and prop
erty in the United States are to have
full protection of law and the presi-
dent wishes every American citizen to
forbear from any thought or act which
might lead his country nearer to war
Hope that Germany might at the
last moment, modify her declaration
If unrestricted submarine warfare was
lmost dissipated on Monday by the
lews dispatches from Berlin which
ave the word of high German Off
3ials that there would be no turning
ack. American officials now only
yait an actual demonstration of how
he new decree will affect American
lights.
Not UnfriendIy Act.
Government officials declared Mon
lay afternoon that this governments
uggestion for break by other neu-
rails did not constitute an unfriendly
let toward Germany. In support of
heir view they pointed out that the
resident said he believed it would
make for peace ''if other neutral pow
ers can find it possible to take SINH
ar action"
This did not constitute an actual re-
quest, they said
After conference with the presi-
lent Secretary Tumulty issued the fol-
owing statement regarding rumors of
seizure of German ships:
"We will do nothing we have not
clear legal right to do.
when we act, we will act on the
principles of right and not upon any
principle of expediency."
Attempt to ScuttIe U. .. Ship.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 3.-An at
tempt was made on Saturday to
scuttle the United States tropedo boat
destroyer, Jacob Jones, by opening sew
eral of her seacocks at the Philadel-
phia navy yard, according to unofficial
but reliable report. Officials at the
yard refused either to confirm or deny
the reports, pointing out that upon in
structions from Washington strict
censorship had been placed upon all
activities at the navy yards through
out the country.
An officer of the Jacob Jones, it was
said, found that the ship was listing
heavily to port as she was being towed
from her anchorage in the Delaware
river to dock, and all persons aboard
were detained and questioned. The
chief machinist's mate, whose identity
was not disclosed, was arrested

Naval Militia.
To REINFORCE the navy there is to-
day no regular reserve, although one
is contemplated. Former navy men
would be urged to re-enlist, retired of
ficers would be called back to the quar-
terdeck, and the naval militia would
be utilized as far as found available.
This force is now organized in %
states, the District of Columbia and
the territory of Hawaii, and has total
enlistment of S,517 men. New York
has the largest number of naval mill
tiamen--1, 49S; and other leading
states in this respect are California,
SS7; Illinois, 561; Massachusetts, 74S;
Michigan, 400; Minnesota, 439, and
New Jersey 442.
The naval militia is partly under
state and partly under federal juris-
diction. The officer of the navy de-
partment having charge of naval
militia matters is Capt. 7. P. Ma
gruder.
The New Navy.
Great plans for naval expansion
were included in the naval act ap-
proved August 20 of last year. These
have just begun to be carried out.
In addition, the present congress now
has under consideration q bill which
would expand last years program
slightly.
The act of last year authorizes the
president, who is titular commander in
chief of both the army and the
navy, to start construction before
July 1, 1919; on 157 vessels of various
types.
The following table shows the pro-
gram In detail. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels finds he cannot build
some of the vessels for the sums es-
timated or appropriated on account
of the increased cost of labor and
materials, and he has requests be-
fore congress to increase the amounts
he may spend:

after the departure of the respective
embassies at Washington and Berlin,
in the sense indicated by President
Wilson in his address to congress, APP

highest authenticity.
1t was stated positively in high polit-
ical circles that the German orders 70

not and would not be modified; that il
Germany the determination to enforc
the prohibited zone order was absolute
and final and that the only security TO
shipping was in avoidance of the pro
hibited zone.
Submarine Best Weapon.
Germany, it is stated, resorted tC
this measure after the Shameful re
lection by the entente powers of peacv
overtures and only after the fullest de
termination and as the imperative
weapon in defense of its threatened in
terests; Germany can not relinquisf

ity to the United States in it's deter
mination. Germany, therefore, is very
keenly disappointed and grieved by
the terms of Mr.. Wilson's message,
but the government can not alter o.
modify the course upon which it has
determined.
Causes No Surprise.
The morning newspapers treat the
breach as a matter Of great gravity,
but all the editorials are pitched in a
calm and moderate tone.
Most of the newspapers say the
news created no surprise, some saying
this step was expected, in view of
President Wilson's message of last
April.
A number of papers adopt regret
full tone over the wreck of the old
friendship. 1t is generally assumed by
the newspapers that the United States
will make an early declaration of war
against Germany, for they say the sub
marine campaign can hardly be prose-
cuted without the loss of some Ameri-
can lives.
While the entrance of the United
States into the ranks of Germany's
enemies would be highly regretable,
the newspapers say the country must
meet this danger as the lesser of two
evils. The danger of the United
States as war factor is treated as
comparatively unimportant, owing to
the remoteness of the area of war and
the time that world be required to
create an army The opinion is
eyinced in some quarters that the sub
marines will decide the war before the
United States can take an active
hand.
The American embassy building has
been thronged with Americans seek
ing advice and help. All embassy en-
ployes have notice from the ambas-
sador to pack their belongings and be
ready to leave at any moment. So far,
it is asserted, the route which the dip
lomatic corps will take to America,
has not been determined. 1t is prob
able, however, that they will leave via
Spain.
