FIRST ARMED AMERICAN
SHIP is TOUPEDOED
The Aztec Sunk off the Coast
of France

New York.-The American steam
ship Aztec, first armed merchant
vessel to sail from a port on this
side, has been sunk unwarned by a
German submarine off an island near
Brest, France. The cable message
from the American consul at Brest,
which brought the news of the ship
sinking to her owners, the Oriental
Navigation Company, gave no inkling
as to the fate of her crew, although
French admiralty reports to the
French embassy in Washington to-
night said apparently Lieut.. Fuller
Gresham and u American bluejack-
cts. constituting the armed guard Of
the vessel, had been saved, but that
II of the crew were reported miss
ing.
The Associated Press dispatch
from Paris said, however. that while
some OF the men aboard the Aztec
were rescued a number of them
were missing and probably had per-
ished. The Aztec, under command OF
Cnpt. Walter O'Brien was manned
by a crew of 80. Seventeen of this
number, including the captain, were
American citizens.
The Aztec, a slow moving freighter
of S72 3gross tonnage. steamed from
New York for Havre inMarch1S with
full cargo of foodstuffs and general
supplies valued at more than $780,
600. She was due at Havre tomor-
row and probably was less than 100
miles from that port when torpedoed.
This fact has given hope to her own
ers that all the crew may be saved
if they had an opportunity to take 20

set of the present war it has filed
| our unsuspecting communities and
even our Offices CT government with
spies and set criminal intrigues
everywhere afoot against our ma
ttonal unity of council, our peace
within and without, our industries
and our commerce"
ut was evident, the President add
ed, that the spies were here even
before the war began. That the
German government means to stir I'D
enemies at the very doors of the
United States was eloquently proved
he said, "by the revelation of the plot
to embroil Japan and Mexico in war
with the United States"
1--WE are accepting this challenge
of hostile purpose" said the Presi-
dent, because we know that in such
a government, following such meth
DDS, we can never have a friend, and
that in the presence of it's organized
power, always lying in wait to ac-
complish we know not what purpose,
there can be no assured security for
the democratic governments of the
world"
'The whole force of the nation, If
necessary" the President declared,
would be spent against this natural
foe to liberty and to check it's pre-
tensions and its power"
No Action Against Austria.
Toward Germany's allies, the Pres
ident said,' the United States was,
taking no action at this time, be-
cause they were not engaged in war
fare against Americans on the seas.
The United States, he said, was
moving only against IAN irrespon-
sible government which has thrown
aside all considerations of humanity
and of right and is running amuck."
The President expressed his conf
dence in the loyalty of naturalize6
citizens and declared that if disloy-
atty did lift it's head it would be
only from "a lawless and malignant
few" and would be sternly sup
pressed.
With a renewed declaration that
he nation must unselfishly act only
'or freedom, peace and humanity, the
President left the question with Con-
yress.
The President did not bring for
ward any suggestion for an out and
tut alliance with the entente, but he
said that the entrance of the United
States into the war would involve the
Utmost practical cooperation in
counsel and action with the entente
powers. That by action" he meant
physical force was apparent from the
distinction he drew between that
