WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.
President Wilson appeared
before Congress at l o'clock
this afternoon and asked for
authority to place the United
States in a state of armed
neutrality to resist the Ger
man submarine menace.
Continued invasion of the
plain rights of neutrals on the
high seas, further sacrifices of
American lives and ships, the
intolerable blockade of Amer
ican commerce almost as ef-
fectually as if the country
were at War-have taken the
place of a dreaded "overt"

In an interview in the Taegliche
Bundschau Albert Ba1lin, director gen.
eral of the Hamburg American line,
says that Germany can be most high
ly satisfied with the success so far
of unrestricted submarine warfare.
Herr Ballin says that. the object of
the campaign was not to sink ships
but to stop commerce with England
and that this had been fully attained
as neutral traffic was stagnating.
Referring to the German ships lying
in United States harbors Herr Ballin
says that a treaty existed between
Germany and America which did not
allow confiscation and that he had no
ground to assume that the United
States would not observe this treaty.
