Only One Further Step.

But the real fact. as unofficially ex-
pressed. is that while the destruction
OF an American ship in such a manner
Is very serious. the American govern
ment already has taken all the steps 1.
can take to meet such a case. unless 1,
wishes to take the last step and de-
clare war.
The real issue Of peace or war is ex-
pected to come when an American
armed ship has clashed with a Ger
man submarine.
A series of distinctions OF American
ships probably would arouse congress
to declaration of war. n indeed Ger
many should not declare war on the
United States. as many expect. as a
result of the first encounter with one
OF her submarines.
Up to the present. in the absence OF
action by congress. all that could be
done to meet such a case as the de-
struction Of the Algonquin already has
been done. II is generally accepted
on first reports as not being the
overt act"

that the German minister had been

LATEST ATTACK
NOT CONSIDERED
THE OVERT ACT
u. S. Continues Preparations
for Arming Merchant
Vessels.
ONLY FURTHER STEP NOW
Is DECLARATION OF WAR
Real Issue Comes When Armed
American Merchant Ship
and U-Boat Clash.

Washington. March LIN the alb
sence OF official dispatches Of the sink
ing of the Algonquin officials withheld
comment. but the unofficial view was
that nothing In the incident changes
the situation between the United States
and Germany.
President Wilson already has taken
steps TO place the nation in a state
Of armed neutrality. which. with the
breaking OF diplomatic relations with
Germany, is practically the last meas
ure possible short of war. American
ships now are being armed to defend
themselves against unlawful subma-
rine attack. The general view today
Is that arming of ships is the only an
swer to submarine operations short
Of a declaration Of war. which may be
made only by congress.
The circumstances that the Algon-
quin carried foodstuffs which are con-
traband and that she recently was
Transferred from British to American
registry. a transaction Germany might
plead she would not recognize. are not
taken to outweigh the fact that the
ship was reported destroyed without
warning. Neither does the fact that
apparently no lives were lost change
the situation
