CONGRESS CALLED
Extrn Session to Declare State Of
War With Germany - Date Of
Meeting Is Advanced to April
2 az Result Of Assaults
on United States
Rights.

Washington, March 21--President
Wilson today met the constantly in
creasing probability Of war with Ger
many by summoning Congress to as
semble In extraordinary session, Mon
day, April 2, two weeks earlier than
the date he had chosen before the
latest assault upon American rights
on the seas. When the President ad
dresses Congress, he is expected to
show how state Of war actually ex-
listed for some time because of the un-
lawful aggression OF German subma-
rines.
Congress Is expected formally to de-
clare a state of war existing, vote
large sum, probably half billion dol
lars, for national defense, and clothe
the President with authority to use
the armed forces of the United States
as 1t empowered President Mckinley
to deal with the menace of Spain in
1898.
Such action would not be declara-
ton of war, except in a technical
sense, and whether the, United States
and Germany actually 60 to war in
the fullest acceptation of the term will
depend on what the imperial govern
ment does before Congress is assem-
bled or after 1t acts.
Omin0us Aspect
Dispatches from abroad tonight de-
claring that the German government
expected a state of war within the
next forty-eight hours placed an
ominous aspect on the situation.
Much to charge the Presidents
present intentions for the course of
the government in the crisis may de-
velop before April 2. The first Ameri-
can armed ship will by that time have
reached the war zone. The ruthless
destruction Of one Of them, unques-
tionably would be an act Of war.
On the other hand, sinking of sub
marine by one Of the armed merchant.
men probably would be met as an act
OF war by Germany. Even the armine
Of American ships, with the avowet
purpose Of defending them against
u-boats may be declared such an act
In any of these events, practically
nothing would remain except for Con
gress to acknowledge a state of wal
existing from certain specified date
probably last Sunday, when three
American ships were sunk with loss O
life.
The next ten days, until Congress!
meets, will be days Of tense anxiety
4 Of eager waiting and watching fraugh
with possibilities Of tremendous con
sequence to the United States.
No War Declaration
President Wilson and his adviser
In the cabinet and in Congress hav
no intention that war shall be declare,
by the United States. BY the hostil
acts of German submarines they be
lieve the imperial German govern
ment is actually making war on tn
United States, and that 1t shall b
recognized as such state. To NEE
such condition the armed forces Q
the country and all the national re
sources are to be- put in state Q
readiness. Then, whether the natio
shall enter the war in its fullest sens
will depend upon how much farthe
Germany carries her acts of aggres
sion.

Telegraph U.S.. MediatOrs

Striking telephone girls and

gon sent word to Secretary of
Labor Wilson at San Francisco
Thursday night, thru their execu-
tive board in Seattle. that they
would refuse to appear before the
federal mediation board In Cali

Settlement of the Pacific coast

They suggest that the Califor-

The telegram was reply to
messages from Wilson asking the
unions here to send representa-

The telegram In full says:

the unions represented in Cali

cognizant.
The employees, Both male and

man who fired two rifle shots at
Franz Drezler, age IL, while the
boy was on his way to school, and
who has terrorized children In the

The man is believed to live in
a shack in the woods near the

He made good his escape Friday
morning in the fog and no trace
of him has been found.
The stranger was sanding be-
side the road when Miss Inez

sch DOL Friday morning. He held
q .22 caliber rifle in his hand.
He turned away, and kept his
face averted until she had passed.

Franz had gone less than SO

ENGLAND FACES
CABINET CRISIS

Omitted Press Leased Wireb
LONDON, Nov. 16.-LOrd
NOrthcliffe has again Jared
England to wakefulness.
In a letter to Premier
@~Eaoyd GEORGE he severely
criticises the present govern
ment and declares that UNI
less there is swift improve
ment in British methods the
United States will assume en-
tire management of a great
part of the war.
This has created the great
est political stir since the
Northclis-e munitions cam
paign.
Northcliffe declines to head the
new air ministry in the Lloyd
George cabinet. He declares he
feels he can work better "if I
maintain my independence and am
not gagged by loyalty that l do
not feel towards the whole of your
administration"
Coming on the heels of a threat
ening crisis growing out of the
displeasure expressed over Lloyd
Georges Paris speech, the attack
of Northcliffe created a situation
that promises heated debate in
commons and a possible shake-up
in the war cabinet.
Delay in London.
Northcliffe Landed the work of
the United States and Canada,
but declared that he had had per-
sonal experience of the "obstruc-
ton and delay in London"
He declared the censorship was
still being misused, and that men
in various positions of authority,
who should have been punished,
have been retained and in some
cases elevated.
This latter thrust is generally
interpreted today as being direct
ed at the consideration that has
been shown Winston Churchill.
Discussion in political clubs to-
day brought forth the belief that
Lloyd George himself may survive
the crisis his government I'M
doubleday faces. The general
opinion is that there must be a
house cleaning in some of the de-
