VIGOROUS POLICY
URGED BY CABINET
CONGRESS is EXPECTED TO DE-
CLARE THAT STATE OF
WAR EXISTS.
COL. HOUSE SEES PRESIDENT
Wilson Not to Write Message Until
Last Minute-Question of Ad-
vances of Money to the
Allies Not Settled.

Washington, March 2S-Congres-
sional leaders gave informal consid-
Grafton to the legislative program to
meet the national emergency, but it
was emphasized that definite steps to
that end would not be taken mr.
er President Wilson delivers his ad-
dress to congress soon after it con-
venes in extraordinary session next
Monday.
Meantime steps to put the nation in
state Of readiness to meet any
eventually went ahead actively. More
than $4,000 national guardsmen are
under orders to remain in the federal
service for police duty at industrial
plants and other property in their re-
spective states Altogether about co.
600 guardsmen have now been called
cut for this purpose.
President Wilson was in conference
with Col. E. NJ. House, his house guest
and personal adviser, but it was said
that he does not plan to put his mes
sage to congress in final shape until
the last minute, nor has it been de-
cided, even after Tuesdays cabinet
meeting, just what recommendation
he will include in it.
There is no doubt in the minds of
administration officials that whatever
may be its details the policy laid be-
fore congress will be both vigorous
and comprehensive The general opin-
ion after the cabinet meeting appar-
emily was that the program most like
" to be followed by congress will in
clude a declaration that state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany, an authorization for t.
president to use the armed forces Of
the nation to protect its rights. the
granting of large credit to the gov
eminent to carry out its policy, pas
sage of censorship and espionage bills
and provision for the employment of
additional secret service agents.
No final decision has been reached
rs to whether financial assistance
should be given the entente allies,
though a strong sentiment for such a

flcials. If this is done the govern
ment probably will deal directly with
the other government concerned and
not through agents.
Senator Hitchcock, member of the
senate foreign relations committee,
who conferred with the president on
Tuesday, thought the passage OF a
resolution by congress endorsing the
presidents armed neutrality stand
would be better than declaration of
war or a declaration that state Of
war exists. Afterward the statement
was authorized at the White House
that the president had invited sugges-
tons. but had not committed himself

John Job, the farmer, last night
denied that he had assaulted Walter
Mills last week, and said he never

States Government, as Mills reported
he did.
The incident occurred last Friday
evening. Job and his son, Leo, and
Mills and Joseph Ruttler met at the
latter's home and discussed the ma
tional crisis. According to Mr.. Job,
Mills began accusing him and his son
of being too loyal to the German en-
peror and being traitors to their own
country. Mills challenged to fight any
body who would refuse to take issue
with his country against the attacks
of any foreign country, Job declared.
According to the Job version, Mills
left the house for few minutes and
when he returned he claimed he had
been beaten by somebody. He insisted
that he had been attacked by several
men whom he had reprimanded for up

But Few Days.

Blood poisoning, caused by a PIN
pie, yesterday resulted in the death of
Peyton z. Robertson, one of the most
popular young men employed at the
shoe factory. His demise followed an
illness of less than a week. He be-
came i'll Saturday and was taken to
the hospital Monday, but he arrived
too late The poison had advanced to
such a stage that all efforts to save
him were of no avail.
Mr.. Robertson, who was % years of
age, pricked a pimple on his upper lip,
and it became infected. For several
days he paid little attention to it, but
occasionally treated the injury with
some home remedy. Finally his face
began to swell and he consulted a
physician, who found his condition
critical.
Young Robc--.so who was the son
Of the mayor of Lutesville, came to the
Cape several months ago and obtained
employment at the shoe factory. He
was advanced rapidly and was finally
given place of responsibility in the
Office.
His close friends at the factory
stated yesterday that he was in love
with a young Cape Girardeau girl,
and they were planning to announce
their engagement. He had confded to
