WILSON ASKS FOR
ARMED NEUTRALITY
President Has Made Plans to
Protect American Ships
From Attack.

Washington-President Wilson ad-
dressed joint session of congress at
p. III. Monday, and asked for author
ity to establish state OF armed
neutrality" lie has made full and
detailed plans for protecting Ameri-
can ships desiring 10 enter the Ger
man war zone.
The president asked congress to
empower him to use the armed forces
OF the United States to protect Ameri-
can rights OH the high seas.
The immediate response was the
introduction in the house OF bill.
approved in advance by the president,
empowering him 10 furnish guns and
gunners to American merchantmen
and TO employ snch other instrumen-
talities and methods" as may become
necessary. and providing for $780,
100000 bond issue. TO be used in his
discretion for war insurance to en-
courage American commerce to brave
the submarine peril.
The president made ii clear that
America was asking to exercise none
but the rights Of peace; that he was
not proposing nor contemplating war.
He was thinking. he said. OF the right
OF life itself. the rights of humanity,
without which there is no cixiliza-
tion--rights deeper ard more ig4ila
mental than merely the rights of
Americans.
"No course of my choosing, nor Of
theirs" said the president, will lead
to war; War can come only by the
willful acts aud aggresslons of 9th.
q"
Four weeks of unrestricted sub
marine warfare, the president told
congress. has seen the destruction Of
at least two American ships. Amer
can commerce driven in a large me-
me from the seas through fear OF the
reril and resulting con,
gesNon of Amesieas vital industries
growing more serious every day, The
fact that more American lives hat.
not been lost, he said. was asc to the
fact that Cegmeo submarine com
manlers hai exercised ar u,eS
ed discretion ana restraint, rather
than hseause of the Instructions uu
2er which they were acting.
At the conclusion Of the address,
when the president spoke of the fun
damental rights on which are based
the structure Of family, state and lib
orty, and said, y cannot imagine
man With American principles at his
heart hesitating TO defend these
things, cheers resounded through the
chamber.
