U. S. MAY SEND YARROWDALE
NOTE-NOT SATISFIED

Washington, Feb. 16.-The United
States may send it's YarTOwdaIe note
to Germany regardless of press re-
ports that the u American sailors
had been released. Up to 11:3O to-
day no official confirmation of the
press reports had been received here.
The note is ready to go. Since it
contains detailed statements regard
ing treatment of German sailors,
German citizens and German prop
erty in the United States, the state
department, it was officially intimat-
ed today, may feel that it should be
sent even should this government, in
the meantime, receive official word
that the YaTTOwdale prisoners have
been set free.
Discussing the probability of this
governments sending the Yarrow-
dale note, even though the prisoners
are released, the department frank
" stated this government is annoyed
at the apparently grUdging manner"
in which Germany is doing only
what she should do in releasing the
sailors.

/ HAROLD DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT
DENIES MARJORlE'S STORY
Marjorie Delbridge's romantic
story Of her love affair and her COM
ing marriage to Harold Rucavada, 10,
1915 Michigan av., was very pretty.
But she neglected to confide her
plans to Harold. Marjorie told a
sob sister over in Detroit last night
her great secret she was really
II and she and Harold were going to
be married as soon as she got back
to Chicago! Listen now to her elect
ed bridegroom: "She's no more to
me than 1000 other girls and I'm not
going to marry her" Now Marjorie
must find herself a much less for
tunate swain in the number of trem-
bling females.
Asst States Atty Rob't E. Hogan
was expected in Detroit this morning
to start the court fight there for Gus
tody of the Delbridge girl, whose ca
reer has attracted considerable at
tention since the juvenile court and
her negro friends, led by Nanny
Camilla Jackson for years her pro-
tector, have battled for control over
her.
Hogan left last night with detec-
tives and warrants, anticipating lit
tie trouble in bringing the girl back.
In Detroit, however, negro attorneys
for the girl say that the charge
against her will not permit extradi-
ton, so the Juvenile court authorities
are pOwerless.

Washington, April S-The organ izatiln of the House of Representa- tives was delayed yesterdy by the demands of the Republican mem hers that a roll call be taken on all matters.
 Preliminary work of seating hil new members had been done by ct mmittees beforehand, and the only incident of great interest was the seating of Jeanette Rankin, who took her seat after an elaborate prelude which inaugurated woman suffraga into the Nations law. mak- inP body.
 The ceremonies which attended the seating of the first woman re- presentatiYe ever to sit in the Un- ite' States House of Representa- tives was very impressive.
 At eight o'clock last night Presi- den' Woodrow Wilson appeared be- fcIe the joint session of the Unit ed States Congress and asked that body to declare that a state of war exists between the United States an" Germany
 This request was made while the news of the submarining of the Am erican steamer Aztec, the first Ann orican armed ship to pass into the VI al zone was being told from mout 70 mouth in the Nations Capitol.
 In making his request, President Wilson asked Congress to recognize the urgency of the situation and to dael with Germany's warfare on American shipping, its rights as a neutral nation, and from an hu- mane standpoint.
 He said, With g profound sense or the solemn and even tragical character of the step am taking an' the grave responsibility which it involves, but in an unhesitating obedience to what deem my con- stttutional duty, l advise that Con- grpss declare the recent coure of tLe I'm, erial German goyernmnt to be in fact nothing less than war agajns- the government and people of the United States, and that Con- gIess formally accept the status of belligerency which has thus been thrust upon it, and that it take immediate steps, not only to put thu country in a more thor ough state of defense but also to exert all of its power, and especial Iy all of its resources to bring the Government of the German empire to terms and end of the war;"
 The President said that war with Germany would involve practical CO operation with the governments at war with Germany including liberal financial credits.
 He urged the organization of an army of 5OO,O0O men, chosen upon the principle of universal libaility to service.
