PRESIDENT CALLS
 SPECIAL SESSION
Congress Will Meet April ? to Act On War Questions-DeclaratiOn of War Probably Win Be
 the Result.

Washington, March 2i.-The pro- clamation of the President of the United States, converting congress in special session on April ?, next, is as follows:
 Whereas, public interests re- Quire that the Congress of the Unit ed States should be convened in ex- tra session at i2 o'clock noon on the second day of April, 1917, to receive 3 communication by the executive on grave questions of national poli- cy, which should be taken immedi- ately under consideration,
 Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will son, president of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary situ- atlon requires the Congress of the United States to convene in extra session at the capitol in the city of Washington, on the second of April, 1917, at i2 o'clock noon, of which all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice.
 Given under my hand and the seal of the United States of America, the 2ist day of March, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hun dred and Seventeen and of the Inde- pendence of the United States the one hundred and forty-first"
 Washington, March 2i.--president Wilson, recognizing that Germany practically is making war on the United States on the seas, today called Congress to assemble in ex- traordinary session on April 2, to deal with the situation.
 The purpose of the session now called two weeks earlier than the date of first set as announced in the presidents proclamation is to re- ceive a communication from the chief executive on grave questions of national policy"
 The president, in his address to Congress, will detail how Germany has been making war on the United States by the ruthless destruction of American lives and ships on the high seas in contravention of all the laws of nations and humanity.
 Congress then is expected to pass a resolution declaring that state of war has existed between the United States and Germany for sometime.
 Such a resolution will not be a declaration of war in technical sense, altho practically it will amount to the same thing.
 As consequence, the United States will take further steps to protect it's interests on the high seas and elsewhere against the war like acts of Germany, and whether an actual state of war will come to exist in it's full sense will depend on future acts of the imperial German government.
