CONGRESS WILL PROBABLY VOTE
ON WARNING QUESTION
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—
There is now every indication
that the question of warning Am
ericans will be decided by con
gress because of the president’s
refusal to consider the proposal
of a vote of confidence in his for
eign policy. An offer of this na
ture was quietly tendered by sev
eral of the more prominent mem
bers of the house but the presi
dent would have none of it- At
a conference at the White House
this afternoon the administration
leaders also informed the presi
dent that plans had been made for
bringing the armed ships agita
tion in congress to an end at once
with a demonstration of unity to
convince Germany that the Amer
ican congress stands behind the
foreien policy of the government.
This also failed to appeal to
the president and he at once made
it clear that he did not want any
such half way measures. He stat
ed that in his opinion as long as
matters had reached the present
stage it was plainly the duty of
congress to either openly endorse
j or reject the foreign policy of the
! government.
I He did not want congress to
j vote on a resolution expressing
confidence and support of his con
j luct of the diplomatic controversy
I with Germany, he said, and in
sisted that there was only one
agreeable course of conduct open
' to congress and that was to
either stand on the McLemore
resolution or reiect it.
Later in the afternoon the pres
cient reiterated this view during
the course of a telephone conver
! nation with Chairman Flood of
I the house committee on foreign
affairs.
"I want a test vote made of
the McLemore resolution," he
told Flood, “I believe that the
country wants to know just where
congress stands in this matter.”
In consequence of the president’s
attitude, it is now generally con
ceded that the matter will be
finally decided by congress taking
a vote on the resolution.
Considerable resentment toward
what is termed an “attempt of
the president to bulldoze con
gress into accepting his views” is
expressed by many members of
the lower house but in spite of
the apparent state of ill-feelintr
the administration forces think
that they will be able to beat the
resolution if it should come to a
vote.

NEW mm PROGRAM
STARTS WITH RUSH
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, March 2.—The new
German diver program, which
opened on the scheduled time
night before last has already
resulted in the sinking of seven
vessels of various nationalities
along the eastern British coasts.
The first of these were the
British steamships Malvina and
Thornby, both of which were tor
pedoed by the German submarines
within an hour of midnight Thurs
day morning, disclosing that the
Germans were evidently on hand
at the scheduled hour and wait
ing to commence activities.
The official reports of the sink
ing of the two vessels state that
eight of the crew of the Thornby
were killed or drowned but no
mention is made of the fate of
men on the Malvina. Both vessels
i were sunk off the Kentish coast.
Whether the two steamers were
armed or not has not been de
termined but it is thought that
one of them, the Thornby, carried
no arms other than those custom
jarily carried on steamships. To
d iy’ three British fishing smacks
and one Italian steamer were sunk
at various points in the North
Si a with the loss of two lives and
tb Russian steamship Alexander
Wentzel was torpedoed in the
j Mediterranean with a loss of
eighteen lives. Grave fear are
also felt for several large liners
belonging to the British mer
i eantile fleet which have not re
ported their positions since the
opening of the new campaign By
some peculiar coincidence the
opening of the diver campaign
finds twelve big liners near the
war zone in which the German
and Austrian under sea boats are
operating.
BRITISH STILL EXPECT
MOVEMENT GERMAN FLEET
LONDON, March 3.—The pa
pers are still devoting consider
able discussion to the possibilities
of a movement of the German
fleet, based on the almost con
stant reports of great activities
around the German naval bases
which are arriving from various
continental sources. While the
majority of the papers are inclin
ed to believe that the reports are
merely stories circulated by the
Germans for the purpose of cre
ating uncertainty in England the
Daily Sketch believes that there
is every prospect that the BHtis
may soon get a chance to take a
hand with their fleet. Lord Fish
er is also much inclined to the
same view and is quoted as say
ing that he is convinced that “the
big Anglo-German fleet action
may take place at any day or
hour now.”

the majority of the republican
nomination seekers now before the

are rife concernig the alleged de

| Mexico of which Felix Diaz, the
nephew of the deposed president,
Porfirio Diaz, who recently died
in Paris, is said to be the guiding
spirit. According to the reports
reaching here from several sources

gained considerable headway and
there is an imminent prospect of
early hostilities against the Car
ranza government. It is said that
Zapata and possibly Villa will be
allied with Diaz in his attempts
to overthrow Carranza. The c.ar
ranza officers at Junarez profess
to believe that the rumors are
groundless.
