RULE AGITATION
RESOLUTION DEMANDS THAT

Government Announces That Any

With Ulster Left Out.

London.-The presentation by the
Irish Nationalists in the house of
commons Wednesday evening of a
resolution calling for the immediate
application of the home rule statute
to Ireland precipitated one of the
most bitter sessf ms in months and
threw the home rule question back
into its old position of uncertainty.
The resolution forced the government
into a declaration of policy toward
self-government, namely, that any
part of Ireland that wished home rule
could have it, but that no coercion
would be employed to compel Ulster
to accept At the same time the pro-
posal drew from the Obstetrics the
ultimatum that they would not ac-

WILSON ORDERS
AIMING OF SHIPS
EDIcT COMES IN CONJUNCTION
WITH CALL FOR EXTRA SEES
SION OF CONGRESS.
Executive Convinced That Best inter
ests Of Country viii be Served
by Putting Guns on
Merchantmen.

Washington. President Wilson from
sick bed on March ordered the
arming OF American merchant ships
against Germany's ruthless submarine
warfare, and at the same time issued
proclamation calling an extra SEES
sion of congress to meet April 16.
The presidents decision came sud
denly late in the afternoon, following
the action OF the senate the previous
prompt action on important questions
and the submission OF formal opin-
ions by Secretary Lansing and At
torney General Gregory that he has
the power to arm merchantmen with
out action by congress.
Details of the governments armed
neutrality plans for defending the
merchant marine we're withheld to
avoid endangerlng Americans and
their ships by permitting the infor-
nation to reach Germany. The only
statement at the White House and
the navy department was that the
president was determined to protect
American rights.
The decision, coming at the end of
period of tense waiting, was gener.
ally hailed as the unavoidable next
step in the policy adopted by the
president when he broke off diplo
matte relations with Germany and
gave warning that the United States
could not tolerate attacks on Ameri
can ships and citizens in violation OF
International law.
Fraught with the grave possibility
Of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only after
he was convinced that Germany &C
tually was proceeding with her cam
paign of ruthlessness and had made
effort to plot with Mexico and Japar
against the territorial integrity Of
the United States.
Long before the order was giveI
from the White House all necessary
preparations for the arming of mer
chantmen had been completed at th'
navy department. Secretary Daniels
however. issued an appeal to the press
Of the nation to refrain from discus
sing these preparations.

Spite Of Action Of United States.
Amsterdam. Dutch newspapers
publish the following statement made
by DIR. Alfred Zimmerman, the Ger
man foreign secretary, to a represent
alive of Budapest newspaper:
"As far as the United States is CON
cerned. we have spoken our last word
and the decision is In President Will
sons hands.
I'VE are determined to carry
through the submarine war to the end
The results OF unrestricted submarine
war thus far have been very satisfac
tory.
"As TO peace. may soy that, de
spite the refusal of our peace offer,
Germany still stands by the words Of
the imperial chancellor and is pre-
pared to place herself at the head of
an alliance of states for the mainten-
auce OF the world peace.
AS to European neutrals, believe
there viii be no change in their pres
ent relations with US in the course OF
the war. Neutral ship owners should
give up their trade with England.
They have made enough money and
can AFFORD to bear the loss of English
trade. They will soon recognize that
II is to their interests to keep their
ships at home so that they may use
them to the best advantage after the
war"
DR.. zimmerman added that the mil
itary situation Is entirely satisfactory
