The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-03-10

Washington, March s.-Presi-
dent Wilson from q sick bed today
ordered the arn1ing Of American
merchant ships against Germany's
ruthless submarine warfare, and at
the same time issued proclamation
calling an extra session of Congress
to meet April 18th.
The Presidents decision came
suddenly late this afternoon, follow
ing the action of the Senate yester-
day in revising its rules to permit
prompt action on important ques-
tions and the submission of formal
opinions by Secretay Lansing and
Attorney General Gregory that he
has the power to arm merchantmen
without the action of Congress.
Details Of the governments arm
ed neutrality plans for defending
merchant marine were withheld to
avoid endangering Americans and
their ships permitting the informa-
ton to reach Germany. The only
statement at the White House and
the Navy Department was that the
President had determined to fully
protect American rights.
The decision, coming at the end
of a period of tense waiting, was
hailed generally as the natural and
unavoidable next step in the policy
by the President when he broke off
diplomatic relations with Germany
and gave warning that the United
States could not tolerate on Amer
ican ships and citizens in violation
Of international law.
Fraught with the grave possibility
Of war with Germany, the action

was taken by President Wilson only
after he was convinced that Ger
many actually was proceeding with
her campaign of ruthless, and had
made eforts to plot with Mexico and
Japan against the territorial inte-
gritty of the United States.
Long before the order was given
from the White House, all neces-
sary preparations for the arming Of
merchantmen had been completed
at the Navy Department. Secretary
Daniels, however, issued an appeal
to the press of the nation to refrain
from discussing these preparations.
The Presidents action sent a
thrill through the Senate, meeting
in special session, and through the
government department. Still hop
ing that war with Germany viii be
avoided, officials and senators de-
clared that the issue rests entire
~ with Germany.
Formal announcement of the
governments policy was given in
the following announcement issued
from the White House.

500 Blue Jackets From CfuiS'
er TO Protect Americans

Washington, March 9.-American
marines and bluejackets have been
landed at Santiago, recently the
stronghold of the Cuban revolution
lists, and appear from latest Navy
Department dispatches to be facing
the possibility of an attack by the
rebel band waging guerrilla warfare
in the city's suburbs.
The dispatches, apparently sew
eral hours behind development, said
the rebels had turned back after
fleeing from the city and were doing
considerable damage around the
.outskirts, ina movement which
showed some sign Of developing a
genefal attaek. Ey;,-is -

out Of the city proper and avoid any
clash with the Americans. It was the
word that the marines and blue
jackets had come ashore and that
Colonel Betanco1rt was marching
up from Havana, according to the
navy's adMces, which convinced the
rebel leaders that the city might be-
come trap and precipitated their
flight. 'S's7's = =
Although the loss Of Santiago is
regarded here as marking the col
lapse Of the revolution, it IS realized
that a continuation of the guerrilla
campaign in outlaying sections may
make serious trouble for the govern

fled they left q notification that
they would continue 10 refuse alle-

ton and already they are reported

 A new nurse had been assigned to one of the hospitals the day before the battle-a Massachusetts woman named Charlotte Mckay, widowed and made childless within a single year. The patients she had under her care were mostly Federals of course. but there was d good sprinkling of wounded Confederates who were prisoners Of war.
 One day, just after dinner time, the chief surgeon entered Mrs. Mckay 8 ward, accompanied by stranger, The man had the appearance of student His head was bent and his brOws were drawn together, with two deep lines between them, as if he had spent long, thoughtful hours at his desk, and his eyes. the color of blue steel, swept the ward with n keen glance that seemed to take in everything. His griZZled beard showed that he was no longer young. but his step and bearing were elastic and vigorous.
 'Dr. Janeway is from Louisiana" ex- plained the chief as he introduced the stranger He had to abandon a large sugar plantation there when the war broke out because of his loyalty. He was d surgeon in the Crimean war and so is interested In seeing how we dc things here"
 The stranger chatted genially with the nurses and the surgeon, discussed their operating facilities, compared them with those Of the Crimea, ques ttoned them about the rations of the prisoners and accepted steaming cnT of hot soup from the nurse.
