TEUTONS MAY BEGIN WAR-L|KE: OPERATION AGAINST AMERICA

Washington. March M.-Wtth the knowledge that the United States, when Congress convenes, is practically certain to declare a state of war existing, many officials believe that aermany may be- gin warlike operations against the Unit ed Sfytes in Q fuller sensa s
 Also The Hague conventions of 1907, to which both the United States and Germany are sgnatories, declare that hostilities shall not begin without for nal notice to belligerents as well as neutrals, 1t is recognized that The Hague treaties have been so openly dis regarded during the war in Europe that no compliance with them may be ex- pected with any confidence.
 The precedents of history show that the great majority of the worlds con- flicts have been begun before formal declarations of war were made.
 According to authorities on interna- tional law, condition of war arises in three ways
 l. A declaration of war.
 2 A proclamation or manifesto de- claring that state of war exists.
 3. Through the commission of hostile acts of force
 One authority on international law de- scribing ways in which hostilities may begin without formal declaration says: Acts of force by way of reprisals or during a pacific blockade, or during an intervention might be forcibly resisted -hostlities breaking in this way.
 Washington, March 21.-President Will sons actions today were quickly fol- lowed by indications at the capital that Congress would speedily declare state of war existing
 Chairman Flood of the House foreign affairs committee said he expected Con gress would quickly pass resolution declaring that state of war exists and indorsing the President s course.
 Congress will declare that state of war exists, will indorse the Presidents stand and will make whatever appropri- ations are necessary to enable the Presi- dent to carry forward the war plans as quickly as possible,'' said MT. Flood.
 ..There will probably be an appropria- ton of very much more than the $1O0,- GOO 900 provided in the armed neutrality bill which passed the House and failed in the Senate. There will not be any material opposition to immediate legis- lation along these lines.
 Senator Pondextor, republican of Washington, said today that Congress will quickly pass law authorizing a limited war on Germany submarines.

TAFT SAYS SHADOW .OF WAR ARGUMENT FOR PEACE 0F WORLD.

Richmond, Va., March 21.-FOrmer President Taft. who spoke here to- night under auspices of the League to the break with Germany and the i'm minence of war furnished the strong est arguments for the League to En- force Peace.
 "Preparedness Is one of the watch words of the hour,' he said. "The duty to support the President In his for eign policy is plain. The league had declared a thousand times that it is not q stop-the-war movement, and has pledged It's support in the defense of civilization and the rights of our cit izens.
 "The reasons we have protested against Germany's ruthless submarine warfare and broken off relations with her Is because her conduct Is subver- sive of any peace that is worth hav- fnE. W
 s.As we are forced into the war, our sole purpose must he to secure the right kind of n peace after the war, for ourselves and for the whole world "a permanent nnd righteous peace.
 "rThis fact Is fundamental to the whole situation and ought to he kept constantly before the minds of all ossr peOpIe--we are cOntendfng for . right eous and permanent peace and for nothing else whatsoever. The Presi- dent has this strongly In mind. If, through the growth of hatred and the cry for vengeance, the world should lose sight of its real purpose and come to the end of the war not knowing what 1t most wants and needs, and so
 
 tarism off it's shoulders and to estab- fish lasting peace. 1t would be a trag- edy in the history of the world.
 s'During the present crisis and throughout the war which Is at hand the duty of the League to Enforce Peace is to stimulate military prepar- edness on the one hand and on the other to spread its gospel of world organization for permanent peace aft- CT this conflict is Over."

 ssThe first week of April" says this newspaper. twill see the recogtition by the United States that state of war with Germany exists.

 x BrOth2r Is Victim 4 Of Bitter Enemies
will Spend All He Possesses to Find How David
 Overton Got Out of Jail When He Was on s4 Point of Getting New Trial

trayed by some of his so-called friends, as David would have not left the county jail unless he had known that he was safe. I do not believe that David shot at the officers eight times. as alleged, when he got killed, for he is not made out of that kind of material. I am of the opinion that he did not fire shot at the officers.
 I called Solicitor Joseph Tate up on the telephone when I first arrived in Birmingham. but he refused to tell me a word concerning the death of my brother. I also telephoned the sheriffs office, which also point blank refused to talk about the 'murdering of my brother
 We all had confidence in my brother s attorney, B. M Allen. and did David and I cannot understand why David left tho jail.
 T am personally acquainted with Dep uty Sheriff Fred McDuff but have not seen his statement in the papers. I know that Fred will tell me the truth about the shooting, and If he tells me that David fired the first shot will believe It. and not before.
 Tt Is mighty bad to have your brother brought to Jail for safe keeping, allow ing him to escape and then shoot him full Of holes. blame all of the respon- sibility on your sheriff. Thomas Batson and no one else Is to blame besides thil one man. InsteAd of being sheriff Of . county. he should be q minister.

TWO PARTIES WILL .G0 INTO SESSION ADVANTAGE

Washington, March 21.-The Presidents call for an extra session of Congress caused shifting of figures of party strength on the organization lineup in the House. The democrats, counting on 2l5 members for organization purposes, have included successor to Represen- tative Conry of New York. who died re- gently, but thu election in that district, called by GovJ.nor Whitman, will not be held until 10 ~ays after the extra session convenes. This will even up the va cancy in the New Hampshire district, which was represented by republican, where an election will not take place un- til May.
 As the forecasts stand now, the demo- crats count on 214 straight party votes and two of the independent group, while republicans count on 214 straight party votes and three independents.
 Washington, March 21.--President Will sons conception of Americas part in the present world situation was outlined in part in his inaugural address, in which he said:
 We may even be drawn on, by cir cum stances, not by our own purpose or desire, to more active assertion of our rights as we see them and more imme- diate association with the great struggle itself.
 But nothing will alter our, thought or our purpose. They are too clear to be obscured. They are too deeply rooted in the principles of our national life to be altered. We desire neither conquest nor advantage. We wish nothing that can be had only at the cost of another people We have always professed un- selfish purpose. and we covet the oppor- tunity to prove that our professions are sincerev

Deputies are still working on vari- ous clues expected to lead to the re- covery of the three prisoners who es- capped in the skirmish Tuesday night when Deputies White and McDuff held off the six prisoners, killing two of them and wounding another.
 Following telephone call yester- day morning saying that man had been seen in the basement of Mrs. Lawson's house by her cook, Deputies White, McDuff, Smith, Alexander and Lucien Brown went immediately to the scene.
 They arrived at the home of Mrs. Lawson about 5 minutes after the man was seen, but he had escaped.
