From the Somme to the Aisne our
troops continued their offensive move
ment, says the French official state

During the course of the day a
desperate struggle followed a strong
defense by the enemy, but our SOL

AGGRESSIVE ACTION
TO MEET GERMANY
NO HALFWAY MEASURES BY
THIS COUNTRY TO PREVAIL
SHOULD WAR COME.
RESISTANCE TO BE STRONG
Germany's War Acts Are Expected to
Be Vigorously Opposed by United
States--Etectlve Warfare Is
Planned.

Washington, March 26.-The Amer
lean government has decided that
steps to meet the situation with Ger
many shall include preparation for ef-
fective and aggressive warfare in ad-
dition to measures for the protection
of shipping.
The army as well as the navy and
industrial of the nation are
to be made ready for any demand that
may be made upon them.
While details Of President Wilson's
forthcoming war message" have not
been worked out, the broad back
ground indicates that this nation is
about to enter aggressively into a Wig
orous defense against Germany's war
acts.
So far as is known no political al
lance with the Allies is contemplated,
although military as well as naval CO.
operation is possible and the govern
ment will be unsparing in both money
and supplies for the Allies.
Sweeping Measures.
The American government has de-
cided upon sweeping measures to be
put into effect following the expected
declaration by Congress soon after it
meets April 2, that a state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany.
Fully approaching Germany's. policy
of acting In wal first and talking after
wards the government has determined
to provide against every possible emer-
gency.
Germany Has Forced. Issue.
The government apparently has de-
cided that since Germany Is making
war upon the United States through
ruthless killing of Americans and de-
struction of their ships, the issue must
be met with steps much more far
reaching than mere attempts to pro-
tect individual merchant craft.
II anything is ahead to prevent this
1t is not foreseen. Once a state of
war is declared to exist, aggressive
measures are expected to be taken.
