WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar. 16.- Limitations have been made that President Wilson may make an ear ly declaration bearing upon the Rus sian situation. This opinion is prev alent in official circles.

SOVIET ACTION
 IS NOT FINAL:
 SPLIT APPEARS
Associated Press,

LONDON. Mar. 16.-Dispatches from Petrograd this morning reveal serious split in the ranks of the soviet congress which may yet re scind the ratification of the peace treaty with the Teutons. It Is ap parent that final action has possibly not been taken.
 A conflict is reported to have oc' cured between the Maximalists and the social revolutionary delegates at the opening session of the soviet congress Friday. and when the rati- fication vote was taken and the re. suit known, the revolutionists refus. ed to abide by the decision and de clared they would never submit to the German peace terms. Practically all of the social revolutionary dele gates have resigned from the soviet. The solsheviki approval of the tresy (has aroused the anger of the reSolutionists, and serious trou- ble may be the result of the split
 The soviet congress is meeting in the great banquet hall of the famous Nobility club. In this hall former German emperors often entertained and were themselves wined and dined. Now their places are filled with the peasant and the working man, even the middle class having but small representation.
 The Bolsheviki element in the con- gross is overwhelmingly in the ma jority, having a total membership of 732. The social revolutionists are forming the left wing of the congress and are greatly dissatis. fled with the ratification of the peace terms.
 Premier Lenine has made the principal speech of the session. He was given magnificent ovation. He reviewed the history of the social revolution and emphasized the neces- sity which compelled the signing of the German peace treaty.
 Despite deep dissatisfaction in this city over the soviet's action, there Is no disorder anywhere. Moscow Is quieter than in months. This is probably due to the large number |of Bolsheviki forces which have been transferred here with the trans fer of the government from Petro grad to this city.
 FINAL VOTE TAKEN
 MOSCOW, Mar. 16.-Despite the resignations of the social revolution ists and the indications that a seri- ous rift is likely to appear in the ranks of the Russian socialists. the soviet congress today passed a final resolution ratifying again the Teuton peace treaty by an overwhelming vote. The maximalists are in con- plete control of the congress and will direct all of its proceedings.

DUTCH DECIDE
 WILL NOT HEED GERMAN THREAT
"A SSociated P-sss)


 AMSTERDAM, Mar. 16.-A dis patch received here by the Asso- ciated Press correspondent states that the Dutch government has ac- cepted the allied demands relating to the use of Dutch vessels in the danger zones. This dispatch has not been officially confirmed at a late hour today.
 It is thought that The Netherlands government has decided to operate its own vessels rather than see theA taken over by the British and Am. erican governments. The German warnings that the ships will be sunk If they enter the submarine zones will be disregarded and the Dutch government will comply with the suggestions of England and America.
 HELD IN PORT
 WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar. 16.- With the exception of two steam. CTS, the United States is holding all the Dutch vessels now in Am. erican ports in order to prevent their escape. All these vessels will probably be requisitioned Monday morning. No bunker licenses have been issued for sailing. and none will be until the government takes them over. or the Dutch government agrees to comply with the demands Of the American government.
 Great Britain is taking similar ac tion. The tonnage to be taken over by the two nations is slightly in ex cess of 100000.
 OFFICIAL NEWS
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Mar. 16.- At the eleventh hour. Holland gives evidence of readiness to make a voluntary agreement with the United States and Great Britain by which those governments will take over all ships of Dutch registry and ope- rate them during the war. Officials here are somewhat mystified over the sudden change in the attitude of The Netherlands government
 In view of the continued pressure Of Germany upon Holland, there is something mysterious in the new at titude. It is stated, however, that in any event these ships will be taken over Monday and placed in commission without delay.

FUEL DEALERS

 BY PRESIDENT
Associated PrrssI

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 16.- An important step toward closer col- trol and supervision over the fuel industry of the country was taken today by the President. In procla- nation issued today all fuel brokers. selling and purchasing agencies and wholesale dealers in coal were pat under license regulations of tho na- tional fuel administration.
 All those concerned must obtain a license before April 1 next or go out of business. The fuel admins tration declares that f. recognizes legitimate tobbers but that swapping and fictitious trade operations will be dealt with severely.
 This is side of the fuel situa- tion which has hitherto been un- touched by the government and which has been the cause of much complaint from a number of sec tions where 1t was claimed that fake deals had been put through which drained certain markets of fuel and produced shortages where reserve supplies should have been available but for the trickery in dealing.
