CAPITAL SILENT
ON SINKING OF
AMERICAN SHIP
Official Dispatches Lacking,
No Comment Is Offered
at Washington.

Washington, March 14-In the alb
sence of Official dispatches on the de-
struction of the steamer. Algonquin
officials withheld comment but the un-
official view was that nothing in the
incident changed the situation be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
President Wilson already has taken
steps to place the nation in state
of armed neutrality, which with the
breaking of diplomatic relations with
Germany is virtually the last meas
ure possible short of war. Ameri-
can ships now are being armed to de-
fend themselves against unlawful at
tacks by submarine. The general
view today is that arming of ships Is
the only answer to submarine opera
tions short Of declaration of war,
which may be made only by con-
gress.
The circumstances that the Algon-
quin carried foodstuffs, which are
contraband, and that she recently was
transferred from British to American
registry, a transaction that Germany
might plead she would not recognize,
are not taken to outweigh the fact
that the ship was reported destroyed
without warning. Neither does the
fact that, apparently, no lives were
lost mitigate the situation.
But the fact, as unofficially eX-
pressed, is that the destruction OF an
American ship in such manner is
very serious, the American govern
nent already has taken all the steps 1t
IAN take to meet such case unless 1t
wishes to take the last step and de
clare war.
The real issue of peace or war is ex'
,ected to come when an American
ship has a clash with German SUBJ
marine.
A series Of distinctions of American
ships probably would arouse congress
o a. declaration Of war, If indeed Ger
many should not declare war on the
United States, is many expect, as re-
ult of the first encounter with one OF
Ter submarines.
Up to the present, in the absence OF
yction by congress, all that could 'oe
lone to meet such a case as the de-
truction Of the Algonquin already has
,een done It Is generally accepted on
