WAR CONGRESS CONvRNEs TODAY

Washington, April 2--0ne Of the
most momentous periods In the ma
tons history occurred today when an
extraordinary session Of the national
legislature meet at the call of Presi-
dent Wilson to consider the relations
existing between the United States
and G ermany.
President Wilson in his message to
Congress, is making personal fight
as well as fight for the rights Of the
citizens of the country. He not only
wants Congress to recognize the fact
that state OF war exists, but that
he be clothed with full authority to
employ the land and naval forces Of
the United States in defence of Am
erican rights. In going before the
extraordinary session of Congress, Mr..
Wilson has been careful to prepare his
case with scrupulous attention to ev-
cry detail. The entire record Of the
relations between the United States
and Germany has been gone over,
from the beginning of the German
submarine campaign right down to the
kpresent date. President Wilson wants
Congress existed for some time be-
icause of the unlawful aggressions of
German submarines. Congress is eX-
lpected formally to declare a state of
war existing, vote large amount
probably half a billion dollars--for
national defence, and clothe the Pres
ldent with authority to use the armed
forces of the United States, as it EN-
powered President Mckinley to deal
with the menace of Spain in 1898.
Such action would not be declara-
ton of war except in a technical sense.
Germany actually go to war in the
fullest acceptance of the term will de-
pend on what the imperial govern
ment does before Congress is assem-
bled or after it acts.
President Wilson and his advisers
in the Cabinet and in Congress have
40 intention that war shall be de-
Jared by the United States. by the
hostile acts of German submarines
they believe the Imperial German Gov
ernment is actually making war on
he United States, and that it shall be
recognized as such a state. To meet
such a condition the armed forces of
The country and all the national re-
sources are to be put in state OF
readiness. Then whether the nation
shall enter the war in its full sense
will depend upon how much further
Germany carries her acts of aggres-
sion.
In every sense, war if it actually
comes, will be defensive war, free
from ambitions for spois or terri
tory, in which the United States, as
the President has publically declared,
shall want nothing for itself, and shall
seek only to preserve the rights of
civilization and humanity.
In such a situation the United States
might become an actual participant in
the hostiities on the European CONT
nent without becoming a political ally
OF any of the Entente powers, simply
casting its weight of men, money and
moral influence into the battle against
the common enemy
The ports of the United States
'robably would be opened to warships
If the Entente navies, credits from
the vast stocks of gold, food. NUM-
ions and other materials might be eX-
ended to all the Entente powers. The
american navy probably would CO.
Eerate with the British and French
'avies in clearing submarines from
The seas.

PROPERTY OWNERS In
CANNON STREET TALK
OF APPEALING TO LAW

The adoption Of plans of, the board
OF appraisal OF benefits and damages
ON the proposed extension of Cannon
and John streets and the widening of
John street, last might, definitely
started these works towards the last
stage, that putting them into effect.
There were many and strong protests
from interested property owners, but
these were overruIed and official sane
ton given to the plan which has been
under consideration now for many
months Reports that the Cannon
street extension matter will be taken
to court are in Articulation and it
would not be surprising If attempts,
by injunction procedure. were made
to restrain the city from further ac-
ton. 4
The Council last night gave a. hear
ing on the proposed Cannon street
widening and the sentiment of prac-
tica1ly all the Of the property owners
was against the progress of the work.
on the ground that the results would
not compensate for the losses. It was
declared by the owners present and
the counsel of others that the values
of property would he destroyed, while
the; desired advantage of relieving
traffic congestion could not be OBJ
tanned. J, Ht
The council increased the salary OF
the fire alarm superintendent $500 a
year; the first assistant 1900 a year
and the fourth assistant fire chief $3.50
a year. These, increases were granted
through. ordinances.
An extension of the State street
white. way to Hancock avenue was
s~-roved and other matters, partic-
u1arly relating to sewers in the West
End, were acted upon.
