If action In to he liud on this resolution
In the near future. Is the committee on
rule."
There Is ome doubt, because of re
cent developments, as to the attitude of
that committee. A week ago, however,
member's who were anxious to have tht
resolution brought on the floor were irlven
little encouragement.
Majority Leader Kitchln and Represent
ative Flood declined to discuss what too
Place, at the White House. They said that
Speaker Clark had beon selected to issue
II statements. It Is known, however, that
both of them advised the president that
the sentiment In the house for the reso
lution til strong.
Freedom ot Sea Involved.
The president told the house leaders he
felt the Vnlfed States must stand for the
right of American to the freedom of the
seas. Ill Bald he hoped he would be abl
to conduct the negotiation with Germany
In such a way that war would be avoided.
Speaker Clark, Mr. Kitchln and Mr.
Flcod all expressed the hope that l'ie
Vnlted States would not go to war over
the armed ship Issue. They left the White
House saying they believed the situation
serious.
The president Is understood' to have
shown deep feeling and to have declared
that if the t'nlted States give up the
right for which it Is now contending It
will lose its position as defender of tho
principles of International law.
President Wilson spent practically the
entire morning discussing phases of the
foreign situation. In addition tot con
ferring with the house leader he saw
Henry Morgentheu, American ambassa
dor to Turkey, and then took up the In
ternational situation with the cabinet.
Great Britain Is Next.
Administration officials said that the
president's warning In his letter to Sen
ator Stone that the 1'nited States must
defend International law from Infraction
by any nation or group of nations was
directed toward all th. European bellig
erent. The government is about ready.
It was said, to forward to Great Britain
the contraband note which has been un
der preparation for weeks and will push
vigorously the protests already made
against selxure of American malls.
Senator Stone said today the report
that Germany might postpone action had
come to some house leaders from offi
cial sources, but he knew nothing of It
personally.
"I am not going to permit precipitation
of debate todsy If I can help It," Sen
ator Stone said.
It was understood that the United
States Is not Inclined to ask for a post
ponement of the submarine policy, be
cause such a step might be construed as
recognizing It validity.
Many Telegram to President.
Tha president was encouraged . by a
krge number of telegram which reached
the White House today from different
part of the country supporting hi stand.,
On the other hand, letter urging passage
of a resolution poured Into the foreign
affair committee office.
Supporter of the agitation expressed
satisfaction over getting the president'
view Into the open, and generally agreed
that they were willing to give him every
opportunity to continue diplomatic nego.
tlation without interference If titer
were no immediate dar.ger of war.
Representative Foster of Illinois, au
thor of the warning resolution favored by
the majority of the contenders for legis
lative action, said h did not think It
should be rushed under tha present cir
cumstance. Representative McLemore of Texas,
-ho introduced the original warning res
olution. Insisted that he would continue
to urge Chairman Flood to report it, but
admitted that he had no hope of favor
tble action.

ho more enthusiastic In his purpose in
flew of the correspondence made public

"In adopting my resolution there would
be no abridgement of American rights,"
he said. "I purposely worded it so as to
express this Idea."

senate that any Issue affecting national
honor should ' be referred before decision
to congress and that no ultimatum should
be rent to a foreign power nor severance
of d'plomatlc relations be permitted with

people of the country had long suffered
from the oppression o, monarchist gov

revolution over the question of the form
of government. Recognition of belliger
ency was extended at this time by (he
friendly powers and neutrality pro
claimed. The provisional government was
set up at Nanking snd a government of
the people established. The Mnnchu em
peror abdicated, the repunllo was pro
claimed, snd notifications were sent to
the friendly powers. Ijiter, when the
regular assembly tin, I hren cxiMhllshetl
and the organisation of the government
had been completed, recognition was ex
tended separately by each of the friendly
powers, who thereby earned the deep
gratitude of the people of our country.
"I nfortunately, the present president
of this countn, Yuan Shi Kal. plotted
to overthrow the republic In opposition
to progressive sentiment In the country.
Hope. Powers Will lie Ventral.

Iri order to show respect for the consti

fore the question of the form of govern- i
nient was raised, will nil continue in;

"We, the military and civil governors,
