reason for mentioning this affair was
because Carranza, despite several re-

WAR EXISTS
RIGHT NOW
Opinion Prevails Among
Leading Officials at
Washington
MAKE DECLARATION SOON
President May Await the Sinking of
an Armed American Liner Before
Making Open War
MAKE DECLARATION SOON

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The ac-
tual declaration of war against Ger
many apparently depends upon the
fate Detailing the first armed Amer
lean liner President Wilson will
probably not declare war as the re-
suit of the sinking of the three Amer
lean freighters on Saturday. However,
it is practically taken for granted here
that a state of war exists. Many be-
lieve President Wilson will acknowl-
edge this soon, though it is known he
is loathe to take further action This
afternoon he discussed the entire prob
lem with his cabinet. ~
President Wilson strongly questions
the advisability of, forcing the
present situation. He believes that
everything is now being done to meet
tn hostilities which he considers in
evitable. In fact President Wilson
has delayed so long that there is in
creased belief that a session OF conS
gress before April 16 is unlikely. It
may be two days before a further de-
cision is announced.
