Whether the United States Goes to War
with Germany.

Washington, March 29.-Whether or
not the United States shall 90 to war
with Germany is a question that will be
determined almost entirely by one man
President Wilson.
This statement sums up the situation,
as it existed to-day. There is not a
member of the cabinet who knows wheth-
er or not the president will recommend
the declaration of a state of war when
he appears before the extraordinary ses-
sion of Congress next week. The >presi-
dent himself declines TO give tha public
any inkling of his intentions
There is only one man in tie country
who probably is aware of the course the
president viii pursue. The mar is Col
r. VI. House, the Texas millionaire, who
is the presidents chief official adviser.
Col. House is a guest az the White
House, assisting the president in shaping
the destiny OF the nation. but a. usual
Col. House is not telling what he knows.
Under such circumstances the Amer
Jean people must wait until next week
to learn If they are to participate in the
great war. The president continues to
listen 70 advice all day long without
disclosing anything definite a. to his own
sttitude.

have approved the plan.
The committee will serve as an in
formal body. 1t will work out with the
department plans for a permanent or
ganization to cooperate with the gov
ernment in promotion of foreign trade.

that the war has changed so completely

MOBILIZE LABOR FORCES.
Secretary Wilson in Conference with La
Dor Leaders.

Washington, d. c., March 29.--Mobili-
zation of labor for government service in
event of war with Germany was planned
yesterday at conference OF labor lead
ers in the Office of Secretary Wilson.
Means were outlined and agreed upon
for making readily available enough
workmen to insure operation of gov
ernment ship yards and arsenals and of
plants working on government contracts.
Officials, profiting by the experiences
OF England, are determined that if the
country takes an active part in the Euro
pean war it shall not be embarrassed by
labor troubles and inability to obtain
skilled and unskilled workers.
The American Fedora tion of Labor.
which has pledged its membership to the
support of the government, was repre-
scented yesterday by its president. Sam
uel Gompers. Through the federation
the government expects to get its sup
ply of trained workmen. The United
States public employment service win
furnish unskilled men and the civil serv-
ice commission will supply clerical help.
The postoIfice department will advertise
the eountry's needs. The council of ma
tional defence, of whose labor commit
ice MIR. Gompers is chairman, also win
cooperate.

Taking the line between Longavesnes
and Eqnancourt as representing our
progress to Tuesday morning, this means
that we pushed forward some 5000
yards. This does not mean, however,
an advance of the whole British line. In
the present phase, there is no continuous
front line, but rather a succession of
posts and patrols all in touch with each
other, but varying their positions from
time to time as opportunity offers for
pushing on.

The Government Is Without
knowledge of Any Fur
ther Developments
ALTHOUGH CONGRESS
SESSION IS NEAR
The Appropriation Bills Are
Agreed on in Con-
ference

! Washington, March 29.--With an ex
traordinary session of Congress only fouI
days off, it also is known that the gov.
ernment is without knowledge of any
further Developments in prospect in the
! situation between now and that time
Neither has the government any infor-
nation of possible peace move on Ger
many's part, or that she has considered
abandoning her submarine ruthlessness,
or that any other nation contemplates a
step to change the situation.
Further steps to expedite measures
affecting national emergency were TAX
en- to-day when Democratic and Republi-
can House leaders agreed tentatively
to introduce appropriation bills which
failed to receive Senate action last ses
sion and to rush them through the
House under suspension of rules. This
would save weeks of usual committee
hearing and debate.
The navy to-day gained 1873 additional
men for officers by the graduation OF
the senior class from Annapolis naval
academy three months ahead of time.
Chairman Chamberlain of the Senate
military committee said he would ask
the president in his address Monday to
endorse universal military training as a
preparedness measure of first Importance.
The American public in general way
has as much information bearing directly
on the present crisis between the United
States and Germany except on German
plots against American interests, as the
government itself, it was aseertained
definitely to-day Regarding the plots,
however, the government has consider
able information which so far il has not
deemed it wise to disclose.
The administration is said to be chiefly
concerned at present with the form of
action to be taken by Congress recog |
nizing that Germany is making war on
the United States, and with preparedness |
measures Aggressive steps, while being |
carefully considered, are understood to |
be looked upon as questions for dctermi- |
nation after Congress has defined the |
status of the nation.
Whether suggestions that huge loan |
or gift OF money to one or more OF the
entente allies should be adopted. whether
whether increased supplies Of munitions
should be forwarded. are generally re-
.arded as questions which would only
confuse the issue if pressed to decision
low.
The president has told no one just
what his message to Congress will in
'lude. II is expected to review the his
ory of the negotiations with Germany
