w A$HINGTON, April 4 -
~ Without waiting for con
gress ITO formally declare war
with Germany as existing Pres
ident Wilson, and the war and
navy departments are going
ahead with all possible prepara-
lions for Immediately striking at
the enemy when the action Of thr
legislators removed the bars.
The first move of the American
government will be by means OF
the navy, and the sea-heets OF the
United States will be ordered to
cooperate with those of Great
Britain and France in keeping
clear the ocean lanes of the sea-
sneaks that Germany has turned
loose against mankind.
This decision was reached some
days ago, at meeting of the
cabinet, in which the policy Of
this country when war should be
declared, was discussed. 1t was
then pointed out that in that way
only Gould America strike at Der
foe effectively.
The civilian branches of the
government are acting in full ac-
cord and cooperation with the
naval and military, and are pre-
pairing for the mobilization of the
hilancial and industrial resources
of the nation to meet the emer-
gency. The task of organizing
the commercial and financial
strength Of the nation is already
under way, though much remains
to be done, under the author
ity which congress will be asked
10 give as soon as the formal
declaration of war paves the way
for action. >H aae 1884,.
Plans for legislation that will
increase the income tax, as the
first step toward the raising the
huge sums of money which will
be Americas first aid to the AL.
lies, are already complete. Taxes
on excess profits will also be inl-
posed, and the idea now is to low
er the minimum OF the income
taxes, while increasing the super
tax. Additional taxes will be
raised by means OF internal reve-
nue. stamps, which, according to
the present plan will affect those
best able to pay the increased
burden. r. NJ
The question OF supplies Of
money and munitions for our AL

more at meeting Of the cabinet
held yesterday following the ad-
journment of the house and SEN
ate. tH K
" The fact that there is likely to
be some opposition to the coun-
sci of the President that cast in
our forces with those OF the En-
tente, as the best means of wag-
ing war with Germany, was it is
understood discussed, and means
were suggested to meet it, but il
is not considered likely that the
opposition will be strong enough
in face Of the overwhelming sen
timent Of the country, to balk the
plans OF the administration, OF
hamper the action of congress to
any great extent.

u. S. NAVAL MEN
HAVE CLOSE CALL
3 Aviators in France
Picked Up After 60
Hours Drifting.

A French Port, Nov. 25.-Suf-
fering from cold, exhaustion and
hunger, three American naval air
men, were picked up by French
patrol boat last night after having
been lost at sea for nearly 60 hours.
The three men, in huge tri-
plane hydro-airplane, left French
base Thursday morning in search of
four enemy submarines which were
reported operating off the coast.
When the men failed to return
within the usual time fears were
felt for their safety and other ma
chimes were sent out to search for
them. The searching machine, how
ever, returned after several hours
and reported that they had seen no
trace of the missing plane or its
crew.
The naval authorities then sent
out a general warning to all allied
boats off the coast and the search
for the Americans was continued
throughout Thursday night, all day
and all night Friday and throughout
Saturday, with naval air machines
assisting in the search during the
daylight hours.
About dusk Saturday a French
patrol boat saw the missing machine
drifting helplessiy several miles ont
at sea and rescued the three men
who included Ensign Kenneth Smith
a former Yale student, who was the
pilot, Frank J. Brady, of Newark,
N. j., observer, and I. E. Wilkens,
mechanician. The three men were
very exhausted when picked up.
They were given first aid treatment
on the boat which rushed them to
this port where the men were trans
ferred to a relief hospital.
All the men have now recovered
and it is expected that they will be
able soon to resume their duties.
The boats crew we're unable to
save the machine which was sunk at
sea.

individuals.

In the Italian theatre the troops
of General Diaz are more than hold
ing their own against the savage at
tacks of the Austro-G Germans from
the region of Lake Garcia eastward
to the upper reaches of the Piave
river. After last weeks severe re.
pulses with heavy casualties the in
vaders have switched their main Of
fensive to the Asiago plateau sector
but here also they have been held
by the Italians without the gains OF
a yard of ground.
Attack has been met with coulter,
attack and in addition to the inflict-
ing of heavy casualties, the Italians
also have captured two machine
gun batteries.
The fighting along the Piave river
from the hilly region to the Adri-
attic has been sporadic, but at one
place where the enemy attempted
to cross the river on pontoons ne
was wiped out by the fire OF the
defending artillery.
For the first time in several weeks
therehas been activity on the nor
thern Russian front and nctwith'
standing tn e uncertain political con-
ditions in Petrograd and other parts
of the country the Russians are
holding their positions against the
Germans. Near Jacobstadt the Ger
man artillery opened strong bonn
bardment against the Russians who
replied in turn. To the South and
also on the Rumanian front there
has been a revival of activity, both

Germans have evacuated the civil
population.
After hard fighting, in which the
troops came into hand to hand con-
tact with varying results, Field Mar
shall Haig's forces are now IN pos
session of the town of Bourbon and
the greater part of the Bourbon
wood, west of Cambria giving them
a dominating position over the
much-sought for railroad centre and
the surrounding country.
English, Welsh and Scottish bat
talions, aided by the cavalry, now
dismounted, encompassed the defeat
of the Germans who had concentrat-
ed fresh reserves-men of extreme
valor-to face the British in their
do-or-die efforts to win the positions
which mean so much toward the ul-
innate capture of Cambria, with its
tentacles of railroads and highways,
leading in all directions and on
which Field Marshal Won linden
burg is so dependent for support
Little else except the gaining OF this
town and of the wood had had a
place in the strategy of the British
commander-in-chief since his dash
of last week placed his forces west
and southwest of Cambria virtually
upon the threshold of the town.
Ever since the initial attack the
Germans had enaciously disputed
every inch of ground, realizing that
with the fall of Bourbon and the
wooded heights their tenure OF
Cambria would be seriously men-
aced. Several times previously the
British had gained footholds in both
the town and the wood, but each
time. under vicious counter-attacks
were compelled to relinquish them.
The northeastern portion of the
wood apparently now is the sole re-
naming part of it that is still in
German hands and, being only
about 8 1-2 miles distance from
Cambria, the Germans are doing
their utmost to hold it, and even to
drive back the British who have
game da footing there.
Since the beginning of the battle
of Cambria the British war office
reports have been extremely meagre
with details of the fighting and the
latest communication gives no hint
of the proposed intentions of Cen
eral Byng after the conquest Of
Bourbon and Bourbon wood has been
made secure. Apparently however,
with these strategic points safely in
his hands it is not unreasonable to
surmise that, having had several
days in which to draw up his guns
and realign his forces, Byng will al
most Immediately strike again in an
endeavor to capture Cambria.
The enemy Of the German crown
prince has not given up its efforts
to overcome the success of the
French troops last week northwest
of Rheims, where the gradual in
cursions into the German line are
threatening Laon. Here the Ger
mans again have made two violent
attacks but their efforts brought
them as has been the rule recently,
nothing more than repulse and the
additional loss of numerous men.
Similarly in the region of Verdun
the Germans have been worsted in

Geneva, Nov. 25.-Commenting
upon Lord Robert Cecil's declara-
tion against recognition of Lenine's
regime in Russia, the Journal De
Geneve says:
"Lenine never acknowledged that
Russia had any duties towards is
allies and they must realize that
Lenine rules in Petrograd. His pro-
posal of an armistice with Germany
is dangerous because if he can find
even one Russian general to. sign
this monstrous treason with him the
agreement probably would result IN
the release Of one million German
prisoners against the allies"
