The nation now actually comes tc the point which all the history o1 centuries indicated must necessarily follow the severance of diplomatic re- lations with Germany on Feb. 3.
 When the President on that day handed to Count von Bernstorff his passports and notified Congress that he had severed diploAlatic: relations altogether with the imperial German government the United States was placed in n position where all the precedents/ of centuries were press ing it toward war.
 All official Washington openly acknowledged that nothing less than Germany's abandonment of her newly announced campaign of submarine ruthlessrless could prevent it, and no one here supposed that Germany would change her determination.
 All tho Allied nations openly gave indications of their belief that the United States soon would be involved in the war, and that possibility was recognized in Germany before the new submarine campaign was announced, when Foreign Minister Zimmerman. working through Count von Bern storn and the German minister in Mexico, attempted to unite Japan and Mexico in an alliance to make war on the United States.
 All the resources of the United States, industrial as we'll as military, are speedily being mobilized to place the nation in full state of readiness for any eventuality
 For the present the responsibility rests with the navy, which Is armins American merchant ships. placing rush orders for submarine chasers, spending $116,000,oOO by special au- thority of Congress to hurry the naval construction already under way, ad- vancing the graduation of classes at Annapolis, protecting American har. bors against invasion by German sub. marines and marshalling the indus- trial resources necessary to stand be- hind the fleet.
 Plans for the army are not so fully matured. It is- believed, however, that President Wilson will recognize the possibility oe the army's participation in war when he addresses congress by discussing the need of. universal military CralnlnG
 In 8 tentative way plans for mar shaling the full strength of the regu- lar army. the national guard and the raising of a volunteer army of 500, 00O men have been worked out in the army war college. The volunteer army of 500, ,000' is planned as a nu- cleus of what eventually would be an army of S.000,N00 and would be as- sembled in training camps
 The mobilization. of industrial re- sources has gone much farther. Hun dreds of n eat corporations, through the efforts of the council of national defense, have prepared themselves to utilize their full efficiency in the defense of the nation.
 When the president addresses con gress he Is expected to go into the details of the situation very fully, particularly, as to how it affects the future of. the United States.
 While it is not known how much money President Wilson may suggest to congress as necessary to meet the situation, leaders in the senate have held the view that not less than $680,- 000,000 should be granted at once in case war is declared.
