IN exceedingly critical situation, and no
one tried to deceive himself with the sup
position that it was not likely to lead
IN q few weeks at most to open war.
Hence the Importance or mapping pro-
gram for immediate action.
From the Cabinet meeting the Presi-
dent went to the Capitol. and discussed
the situation with members Of the SEN
ate Committee on Foreign Relations and
other Senators. He was assured Of their
support in any steps he considered neces-
sary.
I returned to the Navy Department so
thoroughly convinced hostilities were i'm
ninent that I sent out the following tel

present international situation take every
precaution to protect the Government

"Alnav'' was the code word for "An

pass now to the second Of the two
prewar Cabinet meetings which had to do
with big decisions. Much happened be-
tween Feb. and March 20 Of absorb
ing interest and Importance, but will
reserve the telling of It for a subsequent
article.
MARCH 20
HATEFUL DATE.
Tuesday, March 20. has been over
looked IN the war chronologies so far as
I have observed. but the day should be
there and underscored as a day fateful
for America and mankind.
Eleven days earlier the President had
called Congress TO meet in special session
on April 16, 'to receive such communica-
ton as may be made by the executive"
But events were moving rapidly. Four
American vessels had been sunk with
out warning-the Algonquin. City Of
Memphis, Illinois and Figuancla-with
the loss Of American lives. German L.
boats were destroying shipping. neutral
as well as belligerent. by the hundred

impression that the people of America
were clamoring for war, and it was In
response to this display of feeling that
the President spoke the words with which
/ began my narrative.
"I WANT TO
DO RIGHT"
1--WE are not governed by opinion In
our conclusion" said he. II want to do
right, whether it is popular or not"
The next morning the President issued
his proclamation summoning Congress
for April 2, ito receive a communication
by the executive on grave questions Of
national policy which should be taken
Immediately under consideration"
In the meantime, returning from the
Cabinet meeting to the Navy Department,
had ordered the fleet to proceed at once
from its maneuvering ground in Cuban
waters to Hampton Roads. If war was
coming we wanted our ships nearer
home. But the details which have to do
with the Navy program in these imme-
diately pre-war days belong to another
story.

Daniels. telling of the mobilization OF

thousand tons. On March IL we had be-
gun arming merchantmen, but it was
already evident this defense was INSULT
cient.
Shall Congress be called in session al
an earlier date2
If so, what message should the Presi-
dent send in view Of the situation2
These were the two vitality important
questions the meeting of March 20 was
called to answer
WILSON EXPLAINS
SITUATION IS CRISIS.
With an even greater solemnity than
had marked his utterance following the
receipt Of the U-boat note, the President
set forth the serious character of the
situation. He told what had been done
to protect American lives; he reviewed
the failure of these measures 10 insure
absolute security; he seemed disinclined
to take the step which would allow of
no recall, but, with a sort of detachment
from the emotional phases of the prob
lem, he submitted it to the Cabinet and
invited an individual expression Of opin-
ion.
There were those present who had been
ready for some months to enter the
struggle; there were others who, sharing
the easerness OF the President to protect
American rights, if possible without re-
course to war, had come reluctantly to
the decision that there was now nothing
left to do but to defend those rights
with the full power of the Nation what
ever cost 1T might involve.
1t was curious to listen to man after
man present his views. Every man of
the ten was making for the same goal,
the same terrible but unacceptable objec-
tive, and every man approached it by a
different path.
ONLY ONE
COURSE OPEN.
The arguments varied; the measure of
emotion varied; but in the end ten men
looking into the eyes Of the President of
the United States said to him there was
only one course open to America-she
must throw the weight of her great pow
er against the character OF war that was
being waged by Germany.
Ten men said it to the one man who
would bear I'm heaviest measure the bur
den of that decision.
1t was when these matters had been
settled that q member Of the cabinet read
aloud a sheaf Of kilograms conveying the

"These ideas are not those of frivo-
