President Expects
Backing of Congress

That Congress will debate week on
end unless the President makes spe-
cifc demands in such way that the
sentiment Of the country will crystal
lie into a practically united demand
for aggressive action against Ger
many.
The question that is bothering the
war party in the Cabinet is: VIII
Congress give all that is asked by the
President, assuming that he intends
TO ask for a declaration Of war, and
advocate waging hostilities? The
President himself is said to believe
that he will have little or no trouble
with Congress, but the President
may know exactly what he is to ask.

tons with u. S. Depends on
Germany, Says Diplomat

Berne, March 30.-A neutral diplo-
mat who arrived here from Vienna
yesterday asserts that Austria is al
most feverishly anxious to retain good
relations with the United States, but
is even more DESTROYS and determined
to support Germany. The continuance
OF friendly relations between Wash
ington and Vienna depends almost en-
tirely, he believes, upon the outcome
OF the crisis between Germany and the
United States.
According 10 the diplomat, if Amer
lea and Germany go to war, Austria
will follow the lead of her ally. but if
peace is preserved Vienna hopes TO
avoid break with the United States
The economic situation in Austria is
described as very bad and getting
steadily worse, although perhaps not
worse than that il Germany.

Copenhagen, March 3o.-Coincident
with an admission to-day by Captain
Persius. naval critic Of the "Berliner
Taceblatt." that the U-boat war IS
futile, Captain Boyd, former naval
attache of the German Embassy at
Washington, intimsted that the German
submarine campaign would be extend
ed TO American waters.
Boy-Ed's press bureau at The Al
mirslty stated that Norwegian reports
OF a possible impending reduction IN
the submarine zone were Impossible.
Instead, the possibility was that the
areas would be extended. IL
was positively stated that no reduction
would occur. As all European Entente
ports are now included in the blockade
zone by the measure against Russis'
the only room for an extension OF the
zones would seem to be IN non-huro-
pean waters. In this connection, the
recent establishment OF new area IN

can munitions for Russia must pass, IS

Does not this prove conclusively
that it was not any scruple or any re-
spect for international law or neutral
rights that prevented unrestricted war
fare from being adopted earlier, but
merely a lack OF means to carry out?
| think it may be useful once again to
roint out that the illegal and inhuman
attack on shipping by the Germans
cannot be justified as a reprisal for the
action Of Great Britain in attempting TO
