WASHINGTON TURNS
DEAF EAR. TO RUMOR
REPORTED THAT EUROPEAN NEU.
TRAILS MIGHT OFFER MEDIA.
TIoN TO PREVENT WAR.
Proposal Is Regarded as Nothing
More Than Another Scheme Fos-
tered BY Germany.

Washington. that a Euro.
pean neutral might offer mediation to
prevent open war between the United
States and Germany has come to the
Administration without causing sur
prise or in any way affecting the Gov
ernment's plans for meeting the situa-
tion forced by submarine ruthless
ness. Such a proposal is regarded
here as nothing more than another
scheme fostered by Germany with the
hope of confusing the issue and pos
sibly dividing sentiment in this coun-
try while the destruction of American
lives and ships on the high seas con-
tinues. At the State Department Off
cials would neither deny nor confirm
that the Government already had been
approached on this subject, although
it was admitted informally that some
such move was not unexpected.
1t was very emphatically stated that
no suggestion cf mediation or discus
sion would be considered unless it was
accompanied by abandonment of lille
gal assaults upon American shipping,
g. course to which there is no reason
for believing the imperial Government
is giving thought. The feeling in all
quarters here is that the United States
has with infinite patience and forbear-
ance done everything possible with
honor to avoid the virtual state of war
now existing through German aggres-
sion.
tinues, officials say, there is nothing to
be done but adopt measures of defense
and no basis exists for discussion.
During the few days that must elapse
before Congress assemblies in response
to his call President Wilson will give
close personal attention to the prepa-
ratlons going forward through the
War and Navy Department.

PRESIDENT CALLS
CONGRESS SESSION
TO CONVENE IN EXTRA SESSION
APRIL 2-MAY DECIDE THAT
STATE OF WAR EXISTS.
GERMANY MAY FORCE ISSUE
President to Have Authority to Use
Armed Forces Of Nation-Law-
makers Likely viii Place Half a Bill
lion Dollars at His Disposal.

Western Newspaper Union News 'crvice
hington.-President Wilson met
the the constantly increasing probable
ity of war with Germany by summon
ing Congress to assemble in extraor-
diTary session Monday, April ,, two
weeks earlier than the date he had
chosen before the latest assaults upon
American rights on the seas. When
the President addresses Congress he
is expected to show how a state of war
actually has existed for some time be-
cause of the unlawful aggressions of
German submarines. Congress is ex-
pected formally to declare a state of
war is existing, vote large sum, prob
ably half a billion dollars, for national
defense, and ClOthe the President with
authority to use the armed forces OF
the United States, as it empowered
President Mckinley to deal with the
menace of Spain in 1898.
Such action would not be a declara-
ton of war, except in technical
sense, and whether the United States
fullest acceptation of the term will
depend on what the Imperial Govern
ment does before Congress is assem-
bled or after it acts.
Dispatches from abroad declaring
that the German Government expect
ed a state of war soon placed all
ominous aspect on the situation. Much
to change the Presidents present in
tentiOns or the course of the Govern
ment in the crisis may develop before
April >. The first American armed
ships by that time will have reached
the war zone. The ruthless destruc-
tion of one of them unquestionably
would be an act of war.
On the other hand, sinking OF a sub
marine by one of the armed merchant
men would be met as an act of war
by Germany. Even the arming of
American ships with the avowed pur.
pose 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 war
existing from certain specified date
probably Sunday, when three Amer
lean ships were sunk with loss of life.
Until Congress meets, will be days of
tense anxiety. of eager waiting and
watching, fraught with possibilities of
tremendous consequences to the
United States.

Congress Is To Determine System

Western Newspaper Union News servicG
hington.-President Wilson took
Steps to place the nation on a war
footing. BY executive order he direct
ed that the navy be recruited without
delay to full authorized war strength
of $1,000 enlisted men. Taken in con-
nection with emergency naval con-
struction already ordered. this means
that the President has exercised the
full limit of his legal powers as COM
mander in chief to prepare the navy
for war. For the army, the President
directs that two new military depart
ments be created In the Atlantic coast
region. The order means that the task
of organizing whatever army Congress
may authorize will be divided among
six departmental commanders instead
of four, in the interests of speed and
efficiency in mobilization.
Militia 10 Called Out.
The third step was to assume, as
national duty, the task of protecting
American industries from domestic
disorders in the event of hostilities.
For this purpose eleven full infantry
regiments, two separate battalions,
and one separate company of national
guardsmen were called back into the
Federal service to act as national po-
lice in important districts. Supple
menting these troops a regiment OF
Pennsylvania guardsmen and two com.
panies of Georgia infantry, en- route
home from the border for muster out,
were ordered to be retained in the
Federal service. The Presidents or
uers were made known in terse official
statements issued by both depart
ments. No explanation accompanied
them except the statement that reOr-
ganization OF the military depart
ments, effective May l, was designed
to facilitate decentralization Of COM
mand.
Following is the executive order
bringing the navy up to war strength:
by virtue of the authority vested in
the President by the act of Congress,
approved August 29, 1916, entitled, An
act making appropriations for the
naval service for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1917, and for other pur.
poses,' 1t is hereby directed that the
authorized enlisted strength Of the
navy be increased to $1,000 men.
