Needed.

dent wilson, from SICK Ded, To-Day
ordered the arming Of American
merchant ships against Germany's
ruthless submarine warfare and at
the same time issued a proclamation
calling an extra session Of congress
to meet April 16. =,
The presidents decision came sud-
denly late this afternoon, following
the action Of the senate yesterday in
revising its rules to permit prompt
action on important questions and
the submission of formal opinions by
Secretary Lansing and Attorney
General Gregory that he has the
power to arm merchantmen without
action by congress. Details Of the
governments armed neutrality plans
for defending the merchant marine
were withheld to avoid endangering
Americans and their, ships by per.
mitting the information to reach
Germany.
Only the Next Step.
The decision, coming at the end
OF period Of tense waiting, was
generally hailed as the natural and
unavoidable next step in the policy
adopted by the president when he
broke of diplomatic relations with
Germany, and gave warning that the
United States could not tolerate at
tacks on American ships and citizen
In violation OF international law.
'Fraughf with the grave possibility
Of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only at.
ter, he was convinced that Germany
actually, was proceeding with he,
campaign Of ruthlessness and had
made efforts to plot with Mexico and
Japan against the territorial integ.
rity of the United States. :.
Thrill In Senate.
The presidents decision sent 8
thrill through the senate, meeting in
special session, and in government
departments. Still hoping that war
with Germany will be avoided off,
cials declared that the issue rests
entirely with Germany.
Formal announcement Of the
governments policy was given in the
following announcement issued from
the White House: >.- .
"Secretary Tumulty stated in con-
nection with the presidents call fol
an extra session Of congress that
the president is convinced that he
has The power to arm American mer.
chant ships and he is free to exer.
else it at once. But so much neces.
sary legislation is pressing for con-
sideration that he is convinced that
It Is for the best interests Of the
country to have an early session OF
the Sixty-fifth congress, whose sup.
port he will also need in all matters
collateral to the defense Of our mer-
chant marine" :. -..

the European peoples, amid all the

;"The active cooperation of the

BITTER ATTACK
ON PRES. WILSON


t >~~s~~~A& ~ VsSs ASSAASAAf 3xo4s
1.-THE Lokal Anzeiger in lengthy
editorial today severely criticises
President Wilson's inaugural ad-
dress.
"On the self-same day that James
Munroe, 100 years ago, assumed the
Presidency" says the newspaper,
''his successor, President Wilson, at
the Capitol in Washington, tore up
the document known as the Monroe
doctrine which for a century has
been the cardinal feature Of Ameri-
cas- foreign politics. The peculiarly
veiled rhetoric in which he clothes
his Inaugural sentiments admits Of
no other Interpretation. I'M
"The entire address is plainly an
argument in support Of the neces.
sity which President Wilson think,
has been shown by the world war
that there should be enforced on the
old world the laws which he had
evolved in his own mind for regulat.
ing the inter-relations. Of the ma.
tions Of the earth in future, In thii
ambition which borders on megalo.
mania, is revealed a measure Of pre-.
sumption which, thank God; is in in.
verseration to the physical asset,
at his command needed to achieve
the realization Of his program.
Alleges Hipoesacy.
"That, however, Is not the mos
revolving part Of his address. Ii
each Of its sentences the intention
is plainly revealed through persist,
ent misstatements, distortion and
concealment Of undeniable facts, te
proclaim himself to the world d
large as a peace mediator at the
very moment that he is threatening
without cause, to take up arms and
enter the war; and this though ht
is responsible for its .prolongation by
virtue Of his pro-English attitude
his so-called neutrality and his mum
erous sins Of omission.
"Never has the Capitol at Wash.
ington been more profanely desc
Grated by a speech than on this oc.
casion. In each Of its sentences its
author sets up the claim to be count
ed among the most righteous and
honorable Of mortals, while in escl
word he reveals himself the most I'M
righteous and dishonorable man whit
has yet stood at the head Of grea1
State. And when he states that there
is nothing that can alter his thought'
or his intentions, q million voices
shout back across the Atlantic: M
threat Of armed ships, no declaration
of war, will again open up ou1
blockade zones to American com
merce." ...-

Washington, :. March 12.- The
United States government today
took the only formal step that viii
precede the sailing for the war zone

rines.

hons in Washington. ~ -
The statement, which, It % ssss-s

many by the Swiss minister, follows:
"In view OF the announcement OF
the imperial German government. on
January 81, 1917, that all ships,
those Of neutrals included, met with
in certain zones Of the high seas
would be sunk without any precau-si
ton being taken for ths safsty ofs

the exercise Of visit and asarcl, the
government Of the United Statss
has determined to place upon ail5
American merchant vessels sailing
through the barred areas IN srned

Ofacials continued TO be. reticent
today about, the arming Of ships and
the probable date the frst would be-
ready to sail. All spch details are re-
garded as military secrets. til
In fact there u q general disposi-

many. In official quarters the opin-.
ion is very clear that President VII
son for the present q least Is con-i
templating no more direct connec-.
tion with the European war than is
necessary to protect American rights
on the high seas.
Preparations for any eventuahty
are going forward, but the president
is known still to cling to the hoRe!
that there will be no actual clash be-;
tween Americas armed merchant
men and German submarines.
The president, who has been con-
fined to his bed for several days by
a cold, was able today to discuss IN

at that place his attention was
attracted by a piece of poetry
which pictures in a most strik-

the verses that he Immediately
copied them and brought them

the poetry will be both enter
