u. S. Merchantmen
Sent to Bottom and
Men Believed Lost
WASHINGTON COURSE IN DOUBT
president HAS POWER TO ACT
But No Indication Yet that Wilson Will Not
Await Assembling of Congress in Special
Session

Washington, March 18-With
the announcement of the ruth
less destruction of three unarm-
ed American merchant ships by
submarines, it was unOfficially
admitted here tonight that vir-
tually a state of war exists be-
tween the United States and
Germany.
Technically the United States
remains in a position of armed
neutrality. Whether this shall
be changed before April 16. the
date fixed for a special session
of Congress, the war making
branch of the government,
President Wilson has not decid-
ed.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-03-19

Berlin, Friday, March 16.-(By
Wireless to Sayville. March 49,
Merchant ships of an aggregate gross
tonnage of ISL, 500 were destroyed in
February. as a result of the war meas
ures of the Central Powers, the admir-
atty announced today.
The statement follows:
"In February 1858 merchant ships Of
an aggregate gross tonnage of 7S1,50O
were lost by the measures of the Cen
trail Powers. Among them were 292
hostile ships, with an aggregate gross
tonnage of $4,000 and rs neutral ships
of 1880 gross tons. Among the neu-
trail ships 81 were sunk by subma-
rines, which is 16.5 per cent. of the
total in February, as compared with
% per cent, the average of neutral
losses in the last four months.
There is a wide disparity between the
official German figures of the destruc-
ton of shipping in February, the first
month of unrestricted submarine war
fare, and the figures given out in Eng
land. 1t was said authoritatively in
London on March that in February
German submarines sent to the bot
tom in round numbers 100000 tons of
shipping.

BRITISH TRIUMPH

London, March $4,000 P.
M.-British troops, continuing
their rapid advance on the heels
of the retiring Germans, have
occupied the important town of
Mesle, Chaulnes and Peronne.
Along a front of about As miles
they have entered the German
positions to a depth of 10 miles
in places. In addition, the Brit
ish have taken over 60 villages.
The announcement Of these
gains was contained in the of
cial reports tonight from Brit
ish headquarters.

The First Moves

One step the President is contempiat-
ing is a call for an immediate session
of Congress to hear an ADDRESS ASKING
for authority to adopt aggressive meas
uros AGAINST the submarine menace.
Already American ships are being
armed to defend themselves, the next
move must be to send warships with
orders to seek out submarines and
clear the trans Atlantic lanes.
Wilson's Power
Some of the highest ofhclais OF the
government hold that the executive
has the power to declare that state
of war exists and to proceed with as-
eressive protective steps pending the
assembling Of Congress. There is no
indication, however, that the Presl-
dent will follow that course,
OF the three ships destroyed, two
of them were unloaded and homeWard
bound and all were American built,
American owned and differed and
manned largely by American citizens.
Meagre dispatches indicate that all
were sunk with completed disregard
for the safety of those on board. and
that some Of the members of the crews
may have been lost.
Today's developments brought the
government face to face with the prob
lem of formulating a definite policy
for the IA ton in case the United States
actually enters the war. This posslbll-
ity was mentioned by the President in
his inaugural address March 5.
All of the conditions outlined by the
President in his message announcing
the diplomatic break with Germany as
leading to a state of armed neutrality
have now been fulfilled. The overt
act" described by him then actually has
come if in fact it had not been COM
mitted when the President went be-
fore Congress. Since then he has es-
tablished a state of armed neutrality
without the specific authority of Con-
gress.

Paris. March 1S.-Interest in the
retreat Of the Germans on the Somme
somewhat diminished interest in the
cabinet crisis today. Nevertheless, the
French people are deeply impressed

the fruits of the patient and persistent
efforts of the outgoing prime minister,

who do not pretend to regulate every
thing. President Poincare conferred
