ToDAYS DEVELOPMENTS BRING
GOVERNMENT FACE TO FACE
WITH SERIOUS PROBLEM.
OVERT ACT BY GERMANY
All the Conditions Outlined BY the
President Announcing Break With
Germany Have Been Fulfilled -
Ships Arm to Defend Selves.

Washington, March 19.-With the
announcement of the destruction of
three unarmed American merchant
ships by submarines, It is unof6cially
admitted here that virtually a state of
war exists between the United States
and Germany.
Some of the highest officials OF the
government hold the executive has
power to declare a state of war eX-
lists and to proceed\ with aggressive
protective steps pending the assem-
bling of congress. There is no indi-
cation, however, that the president will
follow that course.
OF the three ships sunk two ofthem
were unloaded and homeward bound
and all were American-built, American
owned and offcered and manned large
ly by American citizens Meager dis
patches indicate that all We're sunk
with complete disregard for the safety
of those on board and that some OF the
members of the crew may have been
lost.
