To Ignore Mediation Move.

Washington.-No offer Of mediation
from any sourc will be entertained
by President Wilson. except on the
condition that Germany abandons her
present ruthless submarine warfare.
Nor has the report Of an impending
declaration of war by Germany made
any impression on the President.
This, in short, Is the reply Of the
administration to the efforts that are
being made, unoficially at present, to
sound out this government IL 1t will
entertain any suggestion from neutral
sources for mediation between the
United States and Germany previous
to the meeting Of Congress, when a
declaration of the existence Of a state
Of war between the United States and
Germany will be promptly adopted.
Overtures from the Swiss government
through DR.. Paul Ritter, the minister
in Washington who took yer German
interests when Count o Bernstorff
was given his passports, will not be
encouraged.
Indeed, 1t has already been diplo-
matically intimated to DR.. Ritter that
any efforts on his part to stem the
course of events will be futile, and
therefore, any plans his government
may have might as well be abandoned
In advance.

ANOTHER STEAMER
SUNK BY U-BOA1
Eight Americans Of Its Crew
Lose Their Lives.
U. s. PREPARING FOR WAR
viii Agree To No Negotiations Until
Germany Declares Its Purpose To
Abandon Its Ruthless Sub
marine War.

Washington. - American Consul
Mahin, at Amsterdam, cabled the
State Department that the American
steamer Healdton, sunk by a sub
marine Wednesday off Terschelling,
Holland, was torpedoed without warn
ing and that 20 of the crew were
drowned.
The Consul's dispatch follows:
STANDARD oil ship Healdton, from
Philadelphia for Rotterdam, cargo oil,
torpedoed without warning S:15 even
ing of 21st, rs miles north of Ter
schelling, Holland. Twenty Of crew
drowned. One died of injuries. Others
taken TO north of Holland. Sub
marine seer after t%orpedoing."
The sinking Of the Healdton adds
another grave chapter to the story OF
war waged against American shipping
by Germany to be laid before Con-
gress by President Wilson at the
special session he has called for
April 2.
The Healdton was unarmed, having
left port before the President author
ICED the Navy to furnish guns and
gunners to merchantmen. Her fate
serves to heighten the profound inter-
est with which the government and
the public awaits the time when an
American vessel prepared and ready
to send a shell into a hostile sub
marine on sight will enter the war

no intention that var shall be declared
by the United States. BY the hostile
acts Of German submarines they be-
lieve the Imperial German Government
is actually making wal on the United
States, and that 1t shall be recognized
as such a state. To meet such a con-
dition the armed forces Of the country
and all the national resources are to
be put in a 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 aggression.
In every sense, war, II II actually
comes, will be a defensive war, free
from ambitions Of spoils or territory
in which the United States, the Presi-
dent has publicly 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 even become an actual
participant in the hostilities on the
European continent 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 a common enemy.
Ports Of the United States probably
would be opened to warships Of the
Entente n%avies; credits from the vast
stocks Of gold, food, munitions and
other materials might be extended to
all the Entente powers. The Ameri-
can Navy probably would cooperate
with the British and French navies in
clearing submarines from the seas
