WASHINGTON, Feb. Sit
is learned the army and gener-
al staff have worked out four
plans of immediate action in
event of a German war. They
involve using the regular army
and militia as a nucleus for
training an army of two milli-
on men yearly, sending no
troops to Europe during the
first year, obtaining the imme-
diate passage of a universal
military service law, calling
out first the three classes under
it and putting all American
factories to work furnishing
supplies and munitions for two
million American soldiers.
Army men say it would be
futile to send an army to Eu-
rope now. Russia lost eighty
thousand soldiers the first ten
months, over the total strength
of the United States army. The
general staff plans provide for
hundred army divisions of
twenty thousand each. Fifty
thousand officers are needed.
Six thousand are now available,
Youths reaching the ages of

SAYS WILSON
President Reviews Whole Sit
uatiOn Of Germany and
America Before Joint Con-
qreSSiOnal Session,
CALLS ALL NEUTRALS TO
TAKE THE SAME ACTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.
President Wilson addressed
the Joint session of congress.
He first reviewed the whole
situation and read portions of
the German-American diplo-
matic correspondence follow
ing the Sussex torpedoing. He
announced that all diplomatic
relations had been severed on
account of the new submarine
order. He charged that Ger
many deliberately withdrew
her solemn assurance given in
the imperial governments note
of May, 1916"
He said: "This government
has no alternative consistent
with United States dignity and
honor but to follow the course
which it declared in April,
1916, would be followed un-
less Germany effected the abb
endowment Of her summarizing
methods"
He said he couldn't make
himself believe that Germany
intended to abandon the anci-
ent friendship, break her SOL
emn obligations and kill Am
erican citizens on the seas.
He asked all neutrals to fol-
low Americas course.
The president said: "If Am
erican ships, and lives shall be
sacrificed, | shall take the lib
erty of coming before congress
again to ask for authority to
use any means necessary for
the protection of our seamen.
can do nothing less"
It is believed he meant he
would sanction a declaration OF
war. There was tremendous
cheering on both sides Of the
chamber, the galleries follow
ed. Secret service men sur
rounded the president. The
supreme court justices heard
the speech. The diplomatic
and executive galleries were
iammed. The situation is very
tense.
Wilson went directly to a
conference with War Secre-
tary Baker and Navy Secretary
Daniels. The state, war and
navy building is closed to all
visitors. Spain handles Ameri-
ran diplomatic busines with
Germany. The Kaiser is ex-
pected to give Americans fif-
teen days to leave Germany.
The president arrived at the south
east capitol door three minutes early.
The crowds cheered. Wilson was sol
emn, Every face was grave. Thund
erous cheers. handclapping and wav-
ing of handkerchiefs greeted the an
nouncement that diplomatic relations
were already severed. Thenceforth
every emphasized statement was ap-
piauded.
His voice seemed strained When
he made the war threat there was a
moments dead silence. Then there
broke a storm Of cheers on all sides
It was the days biggest tumult Some
believed the president is calling upon
the neutrals In a spectacular effort to
bring the neutral worlds pressure
against Germany in the hope OF in
fluenclng the kaiser against enforc-
ing the submarine threat. Others be-
lieyed the tremendous move would
hasten peace.
