THE HAGUE, March 23,
Kaiser Wilhelm is on the verge of a
nervous breakdown and has departed
for Homburg, a health resort, accord
ing to private messages received here
today. He will, receive Chancellor
Bethmann-Hollweg there instead of at
German headquarters. Yon Hindenburg
also will attend, and foreign affairs,
particularly the German-American sit
uation, will be discussed. It is said
some "decision" will be reached.
' WASHINGTON. March 23.
Destruction of the Standard OH tanker
Healdton with consequent loss of twenty
ne or more Uvea merely added today to
the grave tension In oRlclal circles. It In
creases tho list of the crlnjes which will be
recited to Congress by I'resiaent Wilson
when that body meets one week from next
Monday. It is not expected that any new
ctlon will be made at this time.
Tho fact, that the tanker was tqrpedoed
without warning almost in tle very shadow
f Terschelllng lightship on4 the coast of
neutral Holland intensifies tho-cqneern Here
and brings home to officialdom that no vessel
l safe anywhere on the ocean from subma
rine rightfulness. Complete official reports
have" been requested by the State Depart
ment. "WAIt .MESSAGE" DISCUSSED
' President Wilson's forthcoming "war
message" to the extra session of Congress,
April 2, was discussed by the Cabinet dur
ing a long tesslon today.
While details of the message have not
been worked out, the broad .background
laid today indicates that this nation Is
about to enter aggressively Into a vigorous
defense against Germany's war acts.
i The ientatlve cotnse of procedure has
already been Indicated, including the ad
vancement of large sums of money to the
Entente Allies, with which moto actively to
prosecute their struggle In conjunction with
the United Htates.
, Complete reports coveting the exact
il'.uatlon of the nation's defenses were
considered today at tho meeting. Secretary
Lansing presented the brief reports received
dealing with the sinking of the Healdton.
Secretary Daniels reported on the naval
operations, exnlalnlng that every effort was
" 'being made to obtain men to man the ves
sels that dally are being put Into commis
sion from the reserve fleet.
Secretaries Red.'ield, Houston and Lane
explained the work that their departments
are doing to supplement the branches which
are especially charged with defense work.
The question of what Congress will be
asked to do was only incidentally touched
upon. There will be two regular Cabinet
meetings before the extraordinary session
assembles on next Tuesday and Friday.
. It was recognized that a great deal may
happen between now and then which may
change the entire aspect of affairs. In this
connection Cabinet officials explained that
because of tho uncertainty of the situation
It was utterly unlikely that President Wil
son would be able to put the final touches
upon his message to Congress until the
morning of the day that it Is delivered.
There is n vprv nresent nosslbllltv that
Germany may at any moment, declare war,
u me unitcu states ana mis wouia com
pel a change In attltudo by this Govern
ment. Most officials, however, seemed Inclined to
believe today that Germany does not want
to take the Initiative and that she will take
o action unless between now and April
German submarine should "be sunk by an
American armed merchantman.
Cabinet members, entering the White
House, said that nothing was being left
Undone to perfect the defense plans.
There Is indication 'that the President,
Mter Congress has defined the status be-;
tween Germany and the United States, will
,utrnent his Cabinet by one or more posts
Ul COVep th wnrlr rt trnnannrf ntinn and
V Possibly a portfolio to handle tho work of

Ambassadors of England, France and
Italy today followed the example of
American Ambassador Francis and for

MiliukoiT the recognition by their re
spective nations of the new Russian
Government.
LONDON, Match 23
The imperial Winter Palace in Petrograd,
one of the most gorgeous buildings in the
world, where formerly weie held the bril
liant affairs of the autocratic lUisslan couit
is to be tho scene of the fiist great dec!sle
step toward the llbeiatlon of Russia from
the shackles of political bondage.
A dispatch from Copenhagen today quotes
the Social Dcmokiaten as baying that the
palace has been seized by the Russian revo
lutionists and that It will be put to Govern
ment uses.
The first meeting of the new P.usslan
Assembly Is to be heldtat the Winter Pal
ace, according to present plans. Instead of
tho Imperial standard the red flag of the
revolution now floats above the edlft.e
which was once the home of the ex-Czar,
Russian women are to get the ballot.
Announcement was made today that It has
been settled that women shall vote for
members of the Constituent (National) As
sembly. The proposal for woman suffrage
met with strong opposition from some quar
ters on the ground that such a radical step
might cause chaos, but tho radicals were
insistent' that It be included In the reforms.
A big mass-meeting of the supporters of
woman suffrage Is to be held on Sunday.
I The crown jewels of the Russian Impe
rial family were kept at the Winter Palace,
and the seizure of the building has aroused
reports that the costly gems will be taken

WASHINGTON, March 23.
First advices confirming torpedoing
of the American tankship Healdton
came late this afternoon from Vice
Consul Krogh, at Rotterdam. His mes
sage read in part: "American tankt-
steatucr. lieal'Uo'i, iroutp Uhiladejplua
via Bergen to Rotterdam, having forty
one officers and crew aboard, reported
torpedoed and sunk without warning
by German submarine. Captain and
nineteen men brought safely to Ymui
den. One died of explosion in lifeboat.
Twenty reported drowned by capsizing.
One lifeboat with following officers and
crew reported saved: Captain Christo
pher, Chief Engineer Caldwell, Assist
ant Engineer Emery, Boatswain Rode,
Cook Snickers, Seaman Lorentsen,
Oilers Guillane and Rumaro, Stokers
Grande, Zonsales, Muino and Alonzo,
Engineers Messman and Larino. Sur
vivors en route to Rotterdam."
Later reports said additional sur
vivors were Willerup, Svenson, Parker,
Johnson, Sickstrom, Anderson, von
Secka, Gonzales and Alano.
Twenty-one lies 'e.-e lost in the toi
pedoing of the American oil stcamsh'p
Healdton oft the Dutch coast, according to
today's cable dispatches, which said that
thirteen Americans, Including two Phlladel
phlans, were on board.
How many Americans were killed Is not
known.
The Philadelpjtlans in tho crew were: h
r.FMUSE W. ESIBRY. fifty years' old, C0 North
TVelfth street; first assistant engineer.
1IFKMAN PARKER, seventeen jears old, UJIO
North Van Pelt street.
Young Parker is safe, according to a
cablegram received today by his father,
William T Parker. The message, dated
March 22 from Terschelllng, Holland, read:
'Hcaldton torpedoed. Rescued and In
good health. Herman."
The vessel was torpedoed without warn
ing Wednesday night In the so-called Ger
man "safety zone." twenty-five miles north
east of Terschelllng, Holland, arcordlng to
statements mado'oy survivors to American
consular representatives In Holland.
Two torpedoes were fired Into the Heald
ton, according to an Amsterdam dispatch
this' afternoon. Tho oil In the ship's tanks
caught fire, illuminating the sea for miles.
Two lifeboats got away from the burning
tanker, but tho third capsized and many of
the occupants were urownea. a uuitn
trawler, attracted by the glare In tho sky,
started for the scene, but the crew, thinking
that the light came from the aurora bore
alls, turned back. Tie next day (Thurs
day), however, some of the survivors were
picked up by this trawler.
After the attack, which was delivered at
8 .15 Wednesday night, the submarine made
off without looking to the safety of the sea
men. The Healdton was plying the north
ern route for safety's sake when she was
suik. ,
Captain Christopher and First Officer
Witherup were among those Baved. A life
boat, with several survivors, was picked up
by a Dutch destroyer.
An unconfirmed report from Rotterdam
placed the number of dead at thirty-three
or thirty-four. Thirteen, the report said,
were killed by an explosion In the boiler
rnom and about twenty others were drowned
when a lifeboat capsized.
Thirteen survivors of a crew of forty-one
