PRESIDENT WILSON, CALLS CONGRESS
FOR GERMAN WAR ACTION
Contlnotd from rat Onr
for revenge for Germany's killing
American property-in contravention or
which tho United States was founded
' NATION'S WAU PLANS
This Is how one of President Wilson's
Cabinet members described today the prob
ablo course' of nctlon, this nation should
take If war with Germany comes, as Is
now expected:
Alignment with the Kntcnte Allies.
The Ilrltlsh nnd French fleets now In
western Atlantic waterv would bo released
for duty elsewhere, especially in the sub
marine, xono, by being replaced by the
United States Atlantic fleets.
This country does not nt present plan
tending an armed expedition to htirnpe.
because the Allies have all the men they
need.
Oiir ports would be thrown open lo Allied
ships for all purposes.
'Kxtension of unlimited credit to the Allies
so that they would be able to purchase all
tho necessary ammunltroti. food nnd sup
plies. American gold Is what would make
the entrance of the United States Into the
war felt tho most.
" AFTER LONG STRUGGLE
The President's courso marks the end of
his unprecedented offorts efforts which
hao been alike strongly commended and
bitterly condemned to Keep this country
at peace even with Germany, in order that
It might perform the greater service of
restoring reason to war-mad Europe.
Ill- reaching his conclusion to lay before
the Congress tho gnivo problem of deter
mining upon this Government's national
policy toward Germany, the President
brotlghl lo an end a strugglo for peace
not only with his advisers, but with him
selfperhaps tho most dramatic In hlstoiy.
Holding out against nil arguments for
positive warlike action until tho last, the
President was loath to take a course which
ho believed might be construed ns "forcing
tho Issue."
Appeals were made to him by his Cabinet
and through hundreds of telegrams from
people of tho country that nggresslvc action
was demanded Immediately not only for
the sake of America's conscience, but for
tho sake of the peace of the world.
CONSTANT PRESSURE
In this connection It Is recalled that Pres
ident Wilson about a year ago declared to
some of his advocates tli.it he had reason
to believe If the United States entered the
war actively there would bo a termination
of the struggle within a few months
Executlvo advisers hae told him within
the last twenty-four hours that to ussumo
now a positive stand against Get many
would be to encourage the new Russian
Government, hearten tho Allied troops In
the Held, perhaps create an Irrepressible de
mand In Germany for the overthrow of the
autocracy there, and. In all, bring lasting
peace to tho world vastly nearer
It became known today that In the last
few weeks many telegrams and much of
the advice that have gone to the White
Houso have counseled open war. and have
been brutally frank In declarations that a
mgn note or patriotism mUst bo sounded
once. They have declaied this to be no
time for "waiting to hear from tho coun
try": they havo declared the country has
need now of u leader who must tell the
country and the people what they must do;
they have declared It Is finally up to the
President of the United States to decide on
active steps against Germany and German
military und naval luthlessness and to lead
me country without timidity over the ques
tion; "Will the country want mo to do this?'1
This, In effect. Is what President Wilson
has been told by his most trusted advisers
and counselors. In effect, it was what was
told to President Wilson at the Cabinet
meeting.
It was In the face of such overwhelming
bentiment that tho President today decided
not to await even, the,, fourteen more days
until April 10, the date he had set In u
former proclamation for an extraordinary
sessjon.
This action Is inlet pretcd fiy some of his
uauiiiet. as meaning the l'rcsident at last
has lost tho last vestige' lif patience and
hope that the war chasm might ultimately
be bridged.
Many of them, at first knowledge of the
news, believed actual hostilities and a spe
cific declaration of actual hostilities incvl
table. ARGUMENTS FOR WAR
The President's Cabinet and telegrams
from the country aiguo nlong the following
lines In favor of immediate action:
Prompt assumption of an aggressive
attitude toward Germany. The people
are ready to go to war and need only
tho call.
Sounding of a single patriotic note
iwi.ua woum immediately augment re
crultlng In both tho navy and army
branches of defense service and enablo
the Government to man Its war vessels
up to full strength ; or
Declaration of a state of war which
would encourage tho Entente boldleis
in the field; cncouiage the Russian
revolutionists In the prompt and definite
formation of a sound democratic gov
ernment; materially depress Germany
and In all bring peace nearer.
DEFENSE MEASURES TAKEN
The ilrst apparently warlike step to be
taken by the Government following the
Presidents call for an extraordinary Con
gress session April 2 was when the muni
tions standardization committee of the
Council of National Defense met this after
"" with Secretary Uakcr behind closed
doors.
i'.io object of the meeting Is to plan Im
mediate, co-operation of the country's Gov
ernment and private munition-making
concerns.
While nothing ofllclal could be learned
regarding the meeting. It Is known that the
Defensive Council for weeks has been con
sulting with the nation's largest manufac
turers of powder, explosives' of all other
descriptions and of rides and all manner
of guns, In tho Interests of standardizing
all output with the least possible delay
nnd expense.
It has also been one of the objects of
tin munition standardization division to
formulate tho most, detailed plans for the
piircnaso ot munitions nna elimination of
"supercharges" that have, been made the
Government In former wars.

chinery for putting universal service into
practice could be placed In motion under
two years. This would, of course, require
adoption of the volunteer system, at lenst
temporarily In the present crisis, should
troops be needed.
AIR SERVICE PLANS
A repoit fiom :. joint board of armv and
navy officers late today lecommended the
Immediato co-ordination of the mllltury and
naval aeronautic services "for maximum
national udvantago in war." The board
urged also that aeronautical pilots and ob
servers be trained together In Joint stations
near the toast.
Co-oidlnatlon of the seivices. the board
said, should Include a general standardiza
tion of machines and motors. The naval
air serviie. in time of war, would be
charged with operations In, connection with
the fleet, oversea routing fiom slioie bases
and for protection of naval reserves. The
army section would be charged with de
fense of cities, fortifications, arsenals, navy
yards, shipbuilding plants, powder work"
and national utilities; with lire control for
coast defenses and operations In conjunc
tion with the mobile army.
Tho board recommended, however, that
no line of sharp deinarkatlon be drawn
President Wilson has Issued an executive
order restoring to their fnimer civil service
status all national guardsmen, who as a
result of border service lost their rating,
the Department of Commerce stated (odaj.
The President's order was that tho eligi
bility period be extended in cases of guards
men So that they should be restored to
the rating they held at the time of their call
to the colors Guardsmen were requested
to write to the Civil Service Commission,
giving tho time of their call and the time
of their mustering out. Several thousand
men are affected
NO COALITION CABINET
Despite a growing demand for a coalition
Cabinet In event of the expected open
hostilities between the United States and
Germany President Wilson at this time Is
not considering such a step, it was strongly
Intimated toda.
It was learned officially the President
was considering no changes in his Cabinet.
It was also learned positively that no
formal resignations of present Cabinet
members had been presented to the Presi
dent, although each member has. in ac
cordance witii custom, informally Indicated
to the President his willingness to retlie
should the President deem changes advis
able. The nearest approach to a coalition Cab

lj:
inet, It was Btated', would be a broader au
thority for the National Council of Defense,
tho membership of which Includes all the
members of l'rcsident Wilson's Cabinet.
STRONG DEFENSE COUNCIL
Tho defense council, authorized by Con
gress, nnd u quasl-offlclal body now In
chargo of the Important work of mobilizing
tho nation's financial. Industrial, social and
Individual resources, it seemed certain, will
bo made tho President's, war council.
Daniel Wlllard, president of the Haiti
moro and Ohio Railroad, will resign the
presidency nnd become chairman of tho
board of directors, succeeding Oscar Mur
ray, deceased, Mr. Wlllard also has made
nluns to take the r.ost of head of tho "war
council's" transportation portfolio.
Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and head of the
defense council's labor division, would, It
Is said, probably bo given the post of
bead of h labor portfolio In the proposed
war council.
Tho defense council, It was pointed out
today, Is composed of the nation's biggest
Industrial, financial and manufacturing
lenders of all political faiths. It was also
pointed out that to create new Cabinet
posts would take action by Congress.
While the nearest approach to official
declaration was that thero were no changes
In the Cabinet being1 considered now, It Is
known that several present Cabinet mem
bers have considered getting out In the
fall
it was olllclally Rtated that or couise
the President "would try lo get the best
men for their places, should the places be
vacant,'' but also that the new members
would be Democrat".

the treaty of 183:: between the United States

ment In Taft's iiitiiilnistrntloti because of
the refusal of the. Russian (.Joveininent to

Despite the abrogation of tho tieatj aa a
whole, tho tariff and other provisions of
the treaty are in effect h.v modus vlv.-iidi.
The revolutionist In Itussl.i Insisted that
the disabilities opera tin: acalut various
elements of Itussla'.s population, as the

The movement Is ver.v miciiik in the 1'nlted
States and Influential Jews have already
discussed the matter with tho State De

Taft because for years Kussl.i bad refused
to allow American Jews lo travel in Itussla,
Insisting that they should have no more

American Jews were not permitted to go

This year. we add 24 per cent to the lux
ury cost, which means stunning cars. Sav
ings made in our new body plant pay all this
extra cost. And this year, for the first
time, we announce 100 per cent over-strencth
in every vital part. Our old margin of safety
was 50 per cent.
A Lifetime Car
The. result of this double strength -is a
lifetime car. Over 440 parts are built of
touehened steel. All safety parts are vastly
oversize. AH parts which .get a major strain
are bu.lt of Chrome-Vanadium.
