Washington, March 20.-Without waiting for the proclamation Presi- dent Wilson is expected to issue to- day or tomorrow, announcing that a state of war exists between the United States and Germany. the government today prepared definite ly for forceful action to clear the transatlantic steamship lanes of German submarines and to protect the American coast.
 The further steps to protect American lives and property against the war-like operations of the Ger man submarines is expected to take more definite form after today's cabinet meeting.
 The navy department is hastening its preparations for carrying out the armed neutrality, ordered by presi- dent Wilson, to the fullest degree.

French forces, advancing with the precision of machine along forty mile front, have recaptured impor- tant towns and many square miles Of territory, accomplishing this at small cost to themselves, so care fully has every detail of the advance been thought cut.

PEACE HOPELESS
 JUST NOW- -W|LSON
President Refuses to Join Mexico in Cutting Off Export Trade-ReRers Also to Zimmerman Plot to Em-
 br0il United States.

Washington, March 20.-The note to General Carranza, declining his proposal for neutral action to bring peace to Europe by cutting of exports of supplies to belliger- ents was made public Tuesday at the State Department.
 The refusal was based, first. on the apparent hopelessness of peace at the present time, as shown in the futility of President Wilson's efforts and Germany's attempts to embroil Mexico and Japan in war with this country, and in the belief that any restriction of commerce with the belligerents would in ef- feet be an unneutral discrimination.
 Nevertheless" the note concludes. the president would not be under stood as desiring to impede the pro- gress of a movement leading to the resumption of peaceful relations be- tween all the belligerents and would not, therefore, wish the Mexican government to feel that his inabil- ity to act in the present state of affairs should in any way initiate against the attainment of the high ideals of General Carranza, by the cooperation of other neutral goV- ernments in the use of their good offices and friendly mediation, to bring about the end of Che terrible war"
 The note mentions the careful and sympathetic consideration which the United States has given to the proposals, refers to the new warfare and goes on to say:
 The German Plot.
 "To render the situation still more acute, the government of the Unit ed States has unearthed a plot made by the government dominating the central powers to embroil not only the government and people of Mex ico, but also the government and people of Japan in war with the United States. At the time this plot was conceived the United states was at peace with the govern ment and people of the German em-  pire and German officials and sub jects were not only enjoying. but abusing the liberties and privileges freely accorded them on American soil and under American protection"
 The note then takes up the pro- posal to cut off commercial rela- tions with the belligerent nations and refers to the American note to Austria Hungary to show the policy of this government in declining to stop munitions shipments
 Believing that this position of the United States is based upon sound principles of international law the note in conclusion says, and is consonant with the estab- lished practices of nations, the pres ident cannot bring himself to consider such modification of these principles or of this prac- tice as compliance with General Carranza's proposal to suspend com mercial relations with the warning nations would entail"

 Other Rulers Worry.

Petrograd, March 1.-The abdica- tion of Emperor Nicholas was signed at the town of pskoff, whera the train on which he was travelling toward Petrograd was halted early in the week.

 Fled From Petrograd.
 From PskofT, according to acs- counts now available, the emperor communicated with members of the executive committee of the Duma. who informed him that they were sending emissaries to meet him there. Accordingly a member of the Duma committee and one of the ministers of the new cabinet pro- ceeded to Pskoff and had an inter- view with the emperor in the pres ence of Gen. Nicholas Vruzsky, a I member nf the council of the en- pire and of the supreme council; Baron w. Fredericks, minister of the court: Count Narishkin and others.
 sign Here,r the Orders.
 After relating to the emperor the latest developments in the revolu- tion, the emissaries advised him not to send any troops from the front to Petrograd, since all the troops were going over to the revolutionists as fast as they arrived.
 What is desired that I should do?" the emperor asked.
 "Abdicate the throne" was the re- ply.
 After devoting some time to de- liberation. Emperor Nicholas said:
 Tt would be very hard to be sep arated from my son. Therefore I will abdicate in favor of my brother i'll behalf of myself and son.
 The document, which had been prepared in advance, was handed to the emperor and he signed at once.
 Watch For German Revolt.
 London, March i7-British off, cials were watching closely tonight the growth of protest movement in Germany against the militarist forces of the empire, which some observers believe may be the fore- runner of just the sort of a peoples movement which overthrow the Russian dynasty.
