SENATOR STONE WILL
VOTE AGAINST ANY WAR
Breaks His Silence and Announces
Attitude Has Not Changed
Since March 4.

Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, broke his
silence today on the international situ-
alton and said that today war appears
probable, that he will vote against a
war declaration. but will give President
Wilson his unlimited support if war is
decided upon. Senator Stone said he did
not know the Presidents program, but
would cooperate in enabling Congress
to promptly express its convictions.
II have not changed my position nor
convictions since the armed neutrality
resolution was before the Senate" said
Senator Stone. Il will vote against a
war resolution. but if war is decided
upon I'd like to see any one go farther
in backing up the President in it's un-
limited prosecution"
The foreign relations committee will
meet at, 3 o'clock in the afternoon of
the day the President addresses Con-
gresS.
Senator Stone intimated that the han
ding of a war resolution in the Senate
would be left to some other senator ac-
ceptable to the President and the COM
mittee. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
next in rank to Senator Stone, has told
the President that he opposes war
declaration, and it appeared probable
that Senator Williams of Mississippi
the next in line on the democratic side.

patch says that Mr. Whitlock will be
granted every privilege of neutral
diplomat until he crosses the frontier

GERMAN|C CLAIMS
STIR j. S. OFFICIALS
Effort to Fasten Responsible
ity for War on This Coun-
try Resented.

Secretary Zimmermann's speech to
the reichstag charging the United
States with responsibility for war, IL
it comes. brought forth today for the
first time official admission that the
United States government knew in the
middle of January that the ruthless
submarine decree was to be issued and
that after its issue three days were
allowed to elapse to give Germany op-
portnnity to modify or repeal 1t before
the severance of diplomatic relations
was announced. ..cs..,..-4 I
Count Won Bernstorff, 1t was stated
by department officials. knew of the
impending decree two weeks before fit
was issued and made every effort with
his government to have it repealed
Action Foreshadowed.
Officials here are much aroused by
Germapys continued attempt to con
vict the United States of desiring war,
and they intend to show that ever l. pos
sible opportunity was given Germ} any to
avoid it. Americas action, they point
out. foreshadowed in the SUSSEX. note,
delivered eight and a half months be-
fore the German decree, merd ly fol-
lowed out the policy then outlined Ger
many. on the other hand. abrogjated her
promises on seven hours notice to this
government. and then in face Qf certain
drastic action by this countrl allowed
three days to pass without any attempt
to meet the United States.
Bears on Austrian situ alton.
That Germanys decree was discussed
two weeks ahead of it's issu e adds new
interest to the Austrian situation. for
it was just at that time that Count
Tarnowski left Austria for this country
to become the new AUSTRIAN ambassa-
dor. Whether Vienna Jvas convinced
that the United States would not sever
relations. whether Austria was A
silent and unsympathetic party to Ger
manv's action, or whether the new
ambassador was intrusted with spe-
cial arguments to prs sent the Teutonic
viewpoint are not known.
May Believe State of War Exists.
Zimmermann's statement that the
United States had tried to set the en-
tire world against Germany, after the
break, might be construed by this gov
ernment, it was stated, as a recogni-
ton that Germany considered state
of war had existed from the date of
the severance of relations and Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal to neutrals to
take similar action. Whether Germany
took that point of view or not was
stated not TO be known.

Started to Arrest Robbers.

Mr.. Stirling started to climb from
the automobile to place the trespassers
under arrest and then it was that he
was fired upon. Then the highway
men fed.
Capt. Schneider of the ninth police
precinct and several members of his
command joined in the hunt for the
young outlaws.
An hour after the attempted hold-up
took place the escaping boys were seen
in the woods near a brick yard between
the scene of the shooting and the city.
Members of the police squad pursuing
the fugitives reported that the latter
probably were hiding in the woods or
in a building between the Bladensburg
road and the Eastern branch. They
realized. however. that they may have
crossed the branch and made their way
in the direction of Maryland.
Neither of them discarded his weapon
on the grounds of the institution, and
Capt. Schneider advised his men to use
every precaution to prevent the posi-
bility of getting shot. Inmates of the
institution were in the building when
the shooting occurred. it is stated, and
the affair caused no excitement among
them. 1t is believed one of the boys
was former inmate of the school
