EARLY ACTION Of JOINT
SESSION EXPECTED
LEADERS IN CONGRESS- WILL
TRY TO ARRANGE FOR
PR0NPT ORGANIZA-
IION OF HOUSE

Washington, March 33-As soon
after April as congress is ready TO
receive him President Wilson will 90
tetore the houses in joint session and
officially advise them that Germany
has made war upon the United States
hy It's attack upon the Algonquin, tho
Illinois the Memphis and the Vigil
anca, and ask congress to declare
state OF war to exist.
In other words, Germany has de-
clared war upon the United States
by sinking its merchantmen without
warning and contrary to the princi-
pies of which this government has
eontended, these principles being
fully supported by International law
and elucdated in the Presidents ad-
dress to Congress touching armed
neutrality and the sinking of these
vessels is deemed to constitute an
overt act.
While it is generally accepted that
state of war now actually exists,
IT viii not exist in legal sense un-
IL the warmaking power of the gov
ernment (congress) so declares. In
the war with Spain a declaration OF
war was made against the United
States, then followed resolution by
congress not only declaring a state
OF war TO exist but adding specific
ally a declaration of war. The war
of lS47 is more analogous to the pres
eht situation. Mexico attacked the
United states and congress declared
a state of war to exist which, for
every legal purpose, was a declara-
tion Of war. Therefore 1t is consid-
cred here that resolution by con-
eress saying a state of war exists be-
tween Germany and the United States
will be of itself an acceptance of the
issue as made by Germany.

Blame on Germany

In recounting the wrongs inflicted
upon the United States by Germany
President Wilson will place the bur-
den of the difficulty at Germany's
door 1t is recalled that President
Wilson stated, and it has been the
whole policy Of the government that
war could only grow out OF the Nwui-
ful acts Of others, and is expected to
show that Germany's contention that
; the defensive arDling of merchant
men became an act of war on part OF
the United States. was merely an
endeayor 10 lii the burden from Its
own shoulders.
The resolution which congress Is
expected to pass undoubtedly will
accord the president the use of land
and sea forces In protecting the
country under the policy the adminis-
tration is now working upon Wheth-
er this is to be under offensive or
defensive operations remains for the
president and his official family to
determine, but as commandefVn chief
OF the army and the navy the presi-
dent would direct their use. II may
be stated authoritatively, however.
that neither the President nor men,
bers of his cabinet have fallen under
the spell Of jingoism such as Theo-
dore Roosevelt gave voice to in New
York last night calling for the send
ing of an army to Europe. The op-
erations, it is believed. would be al
mast wholly by the navy, in protect

The beginning of thc final drive in

enc of these presented sufficient 2cst
to hold the audience However, it IS
generally believed that despite the
l,thargy that has prevailed ON the
hustings, a good vote will be polled
Candidates for mayor are busy
presenting their respective causes to
HE electors. and some charges are
being waited about but these for the
most part are vague and shadowy.
Il is estimated that not more than
Twelve hundred ballots win be cast ir

candidates going to the pole the two
leaders will not take home much over
go votes each

decided drift to any one candidate
Il seems to be a free for all with ne
special handcaps anywhere along the
line.

were placed Thursday night One
wager $50 TO $l5 was made that
