Not Act Of War.

NOT Act OF WAR;
To ask for authority to use the
forces Of the United States to protecS
American rights is not in any sense
to ask for a declaration Of war, nor Is
it an act Of war. It is to prepare the
United States for what may be war
like acts by any other nation.
Mr.. Wilson's decision to go before
congress was partly caused by the
fact that Germany's campaign is keep
ing American ships tied up in Ameri-
can ports. Such a condition, the presi-
dent maintains, is unbearable.
Arming American merchantmen OF
conveying them through the war zone
are two methods of protecting Ameri-
can commerce being considered. Elk.

been revealed.

was necessary that he be given addi-

such a move would be opposed In

In his address the president pointed
out that Germany's acts since the

The president is represented as con-

The president is still as anxious as
