Washington, March 20,--Tor two hours today President Wilson dis. cussed the international crisis with his cabinet and heard urgent sugges- tions that the date for the extra ses. s!on of congress fixed for April l6 le set forward to consider further steps in defense of American com merce aganist German submarines. It is understood there was not a dissent. ing voice against this advice.
 The president. himself, did not ex- press his views and so far as could be learned had not finally determined upon the course to be Iursued. The prevailing belief was that he would announce the call for an earlier meet in8 Of congress tomorrow.
 Among officials virtually the unani- nous opinion is that in spite of the | technical armed neutrality status of the United States, actually a state of war exists as the result of the rdth. less destruction of American mcr- chant ships and the killing of Ameri. can citizens in defiance of mterna- tiOna law and of the most solemn warning one nation can give another. The only question is what shall be done about it, further than the arming Of merchantmen to resist submarine attack, if they get the chance
 The cabinet members generally are said 70 have expressed their willing ness today to support a program based on an early call for congress and a formal declaration that a state of war exists between Germany and the Unitei States
 Tonight the president went to the theator, a thing he frequently does when 1e has made Q preliminary de- cislon on d grave question and wants distraction in order to look at the problem anew with freshened mind.
 After the cabinet meeting Secretary Uan'els, saying that no new naval orders had been issued hurried to the navy department and went into con terence with members of the general board. Information for the president and tentative plans for further naval activities were discussed.
 The only argument known to have been advanced in official circles against the early calling of congress was that the president himself can do almost everything possible immedi- ately. But, in spite of this argument, the prepondcrance of official opinion seemed to be that congress should be summoned as soon as possible so that the full power of the government would be assembled in Washington.
 Plans for organizing patrol squad ions of privately owned motor boats and yachts along the Atlantic coast were discussed tonight by Secretary Daniels and Captain George k, Mar we'll, an assistant for operations, who has just returned from a trip to other coast points to enroll available craft. Captain Marvell reported he had ar ranged contracts with many owners of small, speedy boats suitable for mounting guns and chasing subma' rines or patrolling the coast, to turn their vessels over to the government in an emergency A number of boat owners also agreed to volunteer as re- serve officers.
 Both Secretary Daniels and Secre- tary Baker spent several hours at their offices tonight going over de. partment business.

While the fighting front in Flanders

tion of another offensiEe stroke by
Field Marshal Haig which the Ger
mans are trying to anticipate by coun-
ter attacks and retalfatory fire, the
German crown princes army again is
attempting to harrass the French in

Attacks by the Germans were deliv-
cred last night both east and west of
the Meuse in the Verdun sector where
the artillery fire has been intense for
several days past. The blows were
repulsed by the French defenders,

After yesterdays three futile at.
tempts to drive the British back from
the high ground they occupy on both
sides Of the Ypres-Menin road in Elan,
ders the Germans contented them
selves with keeping up a heavy artill-
cry fire during the night.
Silent as to Response.
London official report today records
this hostile demonstration but is ST.

luging the German battle zones with

France and Belgium together with

their own. The Prussianized Germany
