SHIPS TO Be ARMED 1T ONCE
Official Announcement Made
BY President From Bed of
Sickness.
American Rights on High Seas
: Are to Be Protected at All
Hazards.

Washington, March 1C.-President
Wilson from a sick bed on Friday
ordered the arming of American
merchant ships against Germany's
ruthless submarine warfare, and at
the same time issued a proclamation
calling an extra session of Congress
to meet April 16.
The presidents decision came sud-
denly late in the afternoon, following
the action of the Senate on Thurs
day in revising it's rules to permit
prompt action on important ques-
tions and the submission of formal
opinions by Secretary Lansing and
Attomey-Genera, Gregory that he
has the power to arm merchantmen
without action by Congress.
Details of the governments armed
neutrality plans for defending the
merchant marine were withheld to
avoid endangering Americans and
their ships by permitting the infor-
nation to reach Germany. The only
statement at the White House and
the navy department was that the
president had determined to fully
protect American rights.
The decision, coming at the end
Of period Of tense waiting, was
generally hailed as che natural and
unavoidable next step in the policy
adopted by the president when he
broke off diplomatic relations with
Germany and gave warning that the
United States could not tolerate at
tacks on American ships and ct
zens in violation of internatona
law.
Fraught with the grave possibility
of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only after
he was convinced that Germany ac-
tually was proceeding with her cam.
paign of ruthlessness and had made
efforts to plot with Mexico and ia
pan against the territorial integrity
of the United States.
Long before the order was given
from the White House all necessary
preparations for the arming of mer
chantment had. been completed at the
navy department. Secretary Dariels
however, issued an appeal TO the
press of the nation to refrain from
discussing these preparations.
The presidents action sent thrill
through the Senate, meeting in spe
cial session, and through the govern
ment departments. Still hoping that
war with Germany will be avoided,
officials and senator's declared that
the issue rests entirely with Germany.

FEDERAL SENATE BEGINS
DELIBERATIONS UN.
DER NEW RULE.
TWO-THIRDS VOTE
TOLIMIT DEBATE
Recommendation of Joint Re-
publican and Democratic
Caucus Is Adopted.

Washington, March 1o.--The Sen
ate Friday began its deliberations un
der a new rule which will forevet
end organized filibusters in tha
body, 1t will, if enforced, preven-
"a little group Of wilful men" whom
President Wilson held responsible
for blocking the passage of tn,
armed neutrality bill, from stavinf
off a vote upon bill before the Sen
ate.
The new rule was adopted by tn,
Senate Thursday night by a vote OF
rs to 3. Under it two-t thirds of the
Senators present and voting, can in
the future limit debate and say wher
a vote shall be taken on pending
measure. The rule is the one which
was agreed to by both the Democra-
tic and Republican caucuses Wed.
neesday night.
In adopting the new rule the Sen.
ate is abandoning a century old Gus
tom under which a senator was per,
mitted to talk as long as his physical
strength held out.
The new rule was under discus,
sion only six hours when vote wa.
reached. Such quick action was un
expected, although prolonged strug
Gle was not looked for. Those vot.
ing against the rule were Senators
LaFollette, Grona and Sherman.
Senators LaFollette and Grona
two of those who opposed the armed
neutrality bill, and Senator Sherman
who favored it, cast the only mega
! tive votes. Senators Cummins, Ken.
yon, Kirby, Lane, Norris, Stone and
Vardaman, who were against the
armed neutrality bill, voted for the
amendment. Colleagues of most Of
he absent senators announced that
+ they had been present they would
have supported it.
The exact use of the rule will not
become apparent until 1t is enforced
but it probably cannot be successful
ly used to prevent the spectacula,
one man filibusters by which sena
tors have talked bills pending in the
closing hours of a session to leg
islative grave. Such filibusters prob
ably cannot be prevented unless the
are foreseen, but an organized af
fair which must be planned two day
or more ahead OF sessions end can
be disposed of easily,
In brief, the new rule provides
that on petition of sixteen senators
to close debate on a pending measure
the Senate, by two-thirds vote on
the following day but one, may limit
debate thereafter to one hour to each
senator. 1t includes the provisions to
prevent dilatory tactics and the in,
PRODUCTION after cloture is ordered
of amendments not germane to the
pending bill.
Many senators who favored the
change do not look upon it as clio
ture rule, such as prevails in the
House of Representatives, where the
rules committee, with majority be.
hind it, can set the limits upon
speech and hour for vote. Others
who fear that the action merely fore
casts more drastic change in the
future, declared it was but the en-
tering wedge, and that the days ot
the Senate as the only Legislative
body in the world where there can
be full and free discussion are mum,
bered.
