Mobilizing its forces today, the
navy department appealed to Amer

submarine "chasers" to patrol Amer

effect the communicating Of all pri-

speed to meet the requirements of

department wants to act swiftly was
apparent by the fact that the bids

Germany's destruction of three
American vessels with possible loss
of twenty American lives leaves no
question that the kaiser has forced
this government into a stateOf war.
1t probably will have been found to
have existed since the American
steamer Algonquin was sunk last
Wednesday.
The state of armed neutrality in
which this government was placed
by the president. continues, although
it apparently has failed Of its object
to prevent sinking Of such ships as
the LacOnia, Algonquin, the City of
Memphis, the Illinois and the Vigi-
Iancia.
That the president, as his next
step, would call congress in extra
session even before it's scheduled
meeting date, April 16, was deemed
likely by some, though the prepOnd-
Grant view was that he would have
them assemble the 18th, then inform
them that state OF war naQ existed
since March Is and ask real war
measures.
The navy may be called upon to
take a vigorous hand, searching out
and destroying submarines.
ANY call for an army undoubtedly
will await full authorization from
congress under a declaration of war.
The messages thus far at hand left
but little hope that no American lives
had been sacrificed.
Despite the fact that the United
States is nearer a call to arms to-
day, there is Unruffled calm in Wash
ington, not only among officials but
among the people Of the capital.
Apparently Washington, through
ever-recurTing experience with inter-
national shocks, is no longer susceDt-
