WASHINGTON. March 81.


THE war which is almost here
l. I'VE are already in it," said a
high official yesterday-will be a real
war.
1t will not be half war or near
war.
1t will not be something Just as
good" as war, not armed neutrality
ror mere financial assistance to the
Allies.
It will commit the country to the
full extent Of it's resources of men
and money.
1t will involve the acceptance of
whatever burden unforeseen changes
Of European circumstances may
throw this way.
1t will be man fashion war entered
into man fashion.
1t is safe to make these predic-
tions, not because of the determina-
tion of the Administration, as re-
ported in this mornings newspapers,
TO fight something more than mere
defensive war, but only because the
President is being driven onward
partly by events and partly by men
in whom the crisis has developed, for
the moment at least, some capacity
for leadership.

By c. w. Gilbert

together earlier than April 10, that
nothing could be accomplished by an
earlier session, the country was being
told in dispatches from Washington
that the President would call an
earlier session.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-03-25
Wilson Listened
To His Cabinet


To His Cabinet
And he did call an earlier session,
after listening to the arguments of
strong majority of his Cabinet IN
favor of a prompt converting of Con-
gress and a declaration by it of the
existence of state of war.
The announcement this morning,
more or less hedged about with
qualifying words, that the Admins
tration has formed policy Of carry
ing on something more than a mere
defensive war, is Of the same nature
as these previous announcements,
whose source has not been disclosed
and whose truth has been of pro
phetic character. They have become
true.
And this one is true now, TO the
extent that there is a war party
within the Democratic party which
has a policy in favor of entering
Into hostilities with all the nations
force. This war party consists of a
majority of the Cabinet and of some
of the Senator's. II believes not
merely in lending money to the Al
lies, but in raising an army and
eauipping it as soon as it can be
equipped without interfering with
the flow of arms and ammunition
to the English and French and in
sending that army abroad in num-
bers sufficient to accomplish the de-
feat Of Germany.
Crisis Develops
Leaders in Cabinet
The leadership for which one
looked in vain a short time ago IS
beginning to show itself in the Will
son Cabinet. The crisis has devel-
oped strength in men not heretofore
supposed to be strong. The war
party in the Cabinet carried the
President with it in the matter Of
advancing the date of the extra ses-
sion of Congress.
He came hesitatingly, it is true,
and only part way, but still he came.
He is expected to go the rest of the
way. The war party in the Cabinet
is strong by virtue Of the cause it
represents. The logic of events is
with it. II is hard to enter war half
way.
The leader of the war party has
been Secretary McAdoo. He is ar
IDENTIFY pro-Ally, and by reason of his
relationship with the President he
has been more outspoken than any
of his associates in urging war
policy.

President . Hand
Is Being F orced

The dispatches which represent
the Administration as decided upon
a vigorous prosecution of the war
are merely a part Of the machinery
by which the Presidents hand is be-
ing forced. They are put out for the
purpose of making the nation expect
vigorous and aggressive policy
from the Administration, and when
the country has come to look for
such a policy the President, who has
his ear constantly to the ground, will
not disappoint it.
At least, that is the theory which
lies behind much Of the alleged
news" that has recently been sent
from Washington, news" that gives
totally false impression of energy
end preparation, but which may be
followed by the exhibition Of energy
and preparation. The arming Of
ships was preceded by news of this
sort, by the steady and persistent
announcement that the Administra-
ton would arm our merchantmen,
while the President himself was real
ly deliberating and hesitating over
arming them. Ultimately they were
armed.
The recent advancing of the date
for the extra session was another
illustration of the application of
the same kind of publicity meth
ods. While the President was
busy telling all callers that he
saw no reason for bringing Congress

While the birds are said to be plen-

local markets this week bears out the
statement, they are by no means
cheap and are bringing the highest
prices ever known in this city and

And the price Of the cranberry is not

cook the berry which requires sugar

the cranberry sauce will be absent
