ihe President is still anxious as
ever, it was said, to avoid war with
Germany, but is determined t ru-

it ! -.
. i resident ilson will ask for au
thurity to establish a htate of "armed
neuirality." He has made full .and
detailed plans for protecting Amer
ican fehips desirous of ntering the
CJernian submarine war zone.
The Presient will point out that
wliile he desires ieace, there i
sorn thing greater than jiear the
protection of the sovereign rights of
Americans, and that the untramrnt h d
fright of American ships to sail the
seas unmolested by any foreign na
tion must be held.
Mr. Wilson's decision to go before
Congress was partly caused lv the
fact that the German campaign is
keeping American ships tied up in
American ports. Kueh a condition,
the President points out, is unbear
able. Democratic leaders of the Senate
and House were notified, and arrange
ments were made for his apiearanee
before the joint session in the hall of
the House.
Arming American merchantmen
or convoying them through the war
zone are two methods of protecting
American commerce being consider
ed. Exactly what steps will be tak
en has not been revealed. v
In addition to giving authority to
establish state of armed neutrality,
Congress is expected to place in the
President's hands the authority to
g'eT additional - money if needeL,.l A
bond issue may be authorized. '
President Wilson will point out
that the rights of other neutrals have
been affected, but that they have
shown no disposition to follow the
course laid out by the United States.
Xo. new direct appeal is .made to
them.
Three Mere Vessels Reported De.

At least three vessels were report
ed destroyed by German submarines
Sunday, and unofficial reports, from
Berlin said that several others had
been sent down, but none of them
was identified either by name or by

striution of three se:imersof British
registry, with a total tonnage of S. 020.
Paris also reported the destruction. of
a British vessel, the steamer "Dor

seljvvas probably not included in the
London total and brings the total
tonnage known to have been destroy

having been destroyed were the Fal

Counting only three steamers de
