President Expected Soon to Go Before
Congress And Ask for Additional
Authority
AMERICAN RIGHTS ARE D|SREGARDED.
Reports Pile Up Regarding Damage Done to American
Interests by the U-Boat
Campaign.

WASHINGTON D. c., Feb. a.
President Wilson is expected now to
defer decision on the question of fur
nishing guns to American merchant
ships until he decides whether to go
before Congress and ask for additional
authority for the protection OF Ameri-
can ships and lfres.
1t was indicated in authoritative
sources today that there has been no
change in the policy of the government
to the present time and none is in i'm.

The accumulation Of incidents In
yolving violations of American rights
since the diplomatic break with Ger
many Is generally believed by admin
listrattoiI Officials to be Fastening the
approach of the hour when the Presi.
dent again will go before Congress.
( The detention of the seventy-two
Americans brought in on the prize ship
SYarrowdale is regarded as another
acute indication Of Germany's disre-
gard for American rights. II in fact
a vigorous protest has not already
gone forward II will be sent in the
near future unless Germany promptly
releases the men.
The definite sentiment gained
ground in administration quarters that
an accumulation Of acts indicating a
disregard for American rights will
have as much to do with shaping the

City Hall Notes

The police force, on behalf of Tom

ally and officially. do not believe Tom
took the paper that belonged to the
Chief, as was insinuated yesterday.
They do this, they say, lot because
they think Tom Is not guilty, but be.
cause they are fraid folks will become
suspicious of policeman and then
what would they do?
With the departure of the last bridge
engineer, there is considerable quiet
about the city hall. Just as soon as
Street Commissioner Lehman is able
to be back on the job, the discussion
OF the various engineers will be taken
up and a decision made,

policy Of the United States as any
overt act which may be committed
against American ships.
While 1t has been indicated at the
State department that there can be
no legal objection to the government
furnishing guns to American merchant
ships President Wilson is understood
to be disinclined to take any sten
which might give Germany the slight.

bility for any future trouble on the
United States.
This was the governments attitude
today although 1t was admitted there
also was possibility Of change sc
cording to circumstances.
Reports of the piling up Of freighta
destined. for Europe, the temporary
shutting down of grain elevators and
other evidences of the effect Of the
new submarine campaign upon neutral
commerce are regarded AZ part OF the
accumulation of aggravation which
are expected to lead to action soon.
So far the government has received
nothing official to indicate shy change
of submarine policy by Germany and
can olly believe thst American lives
or ships may be sacrificed at any mo.
ment.
Wig orous denials we're made today
to reports of split in the cabinet
over the question Of furnishing guns
for American ships.
