The action of bo senate was In direct opposition to that which ti.e President desired. Tb* Care substitute !a an follows: ' Resolved that the sinking by a German submarine without notice or w arning, of an armed merchant vea- , scl of her pfToiic enemy, resulting in V..e il ath of a cltiien of the Unlt cd States, would constitute a Ju3t and sufWffimt (Huso p| war. between the .United States and the' German Empire." ; Pr a. dent Wilson h.ftd iaalatod that jr resolution warning' Americans off b&lllgerent ships should be put be fore the senate and house, And that it be voted down by a substantial majority.
