State of War Exists.

Washington, March 31.-A decla-
ration that state of war exists with
Germany is expected to follow close
on the assembling of congress Nom
day. Today the government bent ev-
cry effort towards hlrlyisig the pre-
psredness measures as though war
was certainty. Indications that the
wave of war sentiment is sweeping
over the country came to the White
House in messages conveying resolu-
tons adopted by patriotic mass meet
ings in different states and also re-
ports from congressman and sena-
tors that the nation is ready to back
the president. Predictions are gem
eral at the capitol that the houses
viii be promptly organized and the
president will read his speech recon-
mending congressional action Tues
day. Tension was slightly increas-
ed by news of the sinking of addi-
tional ships and the loss of more
American lives. Plans of pacifists tt
keep congress from declaring that q
state of war exists, will attract some
attention, but reports indicated the
nation as whole believes the time
for war has come Stone announced
he would vote against war, but would
sunnort any policy decided on.
On the eve of the new session al
senator's and representatives profess
/ ed ignorance on details of the presi-
dents plans of action. They are
unanimous in the prediction that g
declaration of state of war is prob
able, The first expression of con-
( gressional sentiment is expected
from the house. Such a resolution
as suggested by the president may
include an emergency appropriation
Whether the new cloture rule need be
/ applied TO get the resolution through
the senate is a matter of speculation
but It is regarded as certain the So
called pacifist group will occupy con
siderable time in the debate.
