NO CHANGE IN CASE
AT WASHINGTON

Washington, Feb. THE govern

of the United States, if one should be
necessary, will be taken without ad-

referred the bill to the committee

1t as poorly drawn and lily considered.
Amin opposed the motion, saying
the bill was a compilation of those

Washington, Feb. 7.-Asserting
that the United States has not
been neutral as a nation and that,
if it had been, the country never
would have been brought to a
breach with Germany, Senator
Works, republican of California,
protested in the senate today
against the action of the president
in severing diplomatic relations
He declared the government is act
ing on the policy that Americans
have an inalienable right to travel
the high seas, that the German
submarine blockade is entirely IL
legal and that any sinking OF
American ships in contravention
of law would Immediately lead to
hostilities.
No Question Of Good Faith.
Senator Works said he did not aues-
tion the good faith of the president
and gave him credit for conscientious
motive and patriotic purposes" but he
protested against this or any other
movement that tends toward war with
Germany for no greater cause than has
yet been given us"

viewing the German negotiations and
the presidents determination to uphold
American rights on the seas. that
neither a private conclusion nor the
president nor congress can be justified

dangering its peace by any such false
sense of courage or national prestige
or dignity"
