TO STRIKE HARD PREPARING FOR AGGRESSIVE AC TION AGAINST GERMANY. WAR DECLARATION EXPECTED Government Decides (to do More Than Merely Attempt to Protect Ships —Unsparing in Money. Washington.—The American govern ment has decided upon sweeping meas ures to lie put into effect following the expected declaration hy congress, soon after it meets, April g. that a slate of war exists between the United States and Germany. Fully appreciating Germany's policy of acting in war rirst and talking afterward, the government lias deter mined to provide against every possi ble emergency. Broad questions involved were dis cussed at a long cabinet meeting, to which heads of departments carried reports on preparations already made and others contemplated. Details are being taken up between President Wilson and the individual cabinet members. Regretfully the government appar ently has decided that since Germany is making war upon the United States through its ruthless killing of Ameri cans and destruction of their ships, tlie issue must he met with steps much more far-reaching than mere at tempts to protect individual merchant (•raft. If anything is ahead to prevent this it is not now foreseen. Once a state of war is declared to exist, aggress ive measures are expected to be taken. The exact measure of American par ticipation in the war is not expected to lie revealed until after the presi dent addresses congress and until public sentiment ervstalizes. So far as is known no political alliance with ilie entente allies is contemplated, al though military as well as naval co operation is possible and the govern ment will lie unsparing in both money and supplies for the allies. The president in tils address to con gress. is expected to make clear that tlie American government and people have no quarrel with the German peo ple. hut cannot tolerate the acts of the German government. Whether an army will he sent abroad is one of the questions of the future. It would take many months to train an army for such service and many things may happen in that per iod. But this possibility is being taken into consideration and tlie gov ernment proposes to he ready as soon as practicable. .Tost liow much money will lie asked of congress lias not been revealed. A movement is well under way for fur nishing the entente allies with an en ormous loan, either in tlie form of j credits or money. It also is under- j stood the supply of munitions for tlie i allies will lie augmented, rather than diminished. Seven Americans Drowned. Word has reached the state depart ment that seven Americans were lost when the American steamer Tlealdton was torpedoed hy a German sub marine in the North Sea. off tlie coast of Holland. Tlie Healdtnn is said to have been well inside the so-called “safe channel'' of these waters when it was attacked. _ Roads Seek Rate Increase. Washington-—The chief railroads of the east have petitioned the interstate commerce commission to amend its rules to permit a general increase in all freight rates. Western railroads notified the commission that they, too. would ask for a general increase and probably will follow the eastern roads in asking for a suspension of the rules. Southern roads are expected to take similar action. The proposed in creases probably will range between Id and 1-5 per cent, according to loca tion of the roads, with indications {tainting to a flat increase of 15 per cent being requested in the case of the eastern roads which carry the great volume of the country's traffic. — Scores Perish in Tornado.

When venders appeared in Park row in New York recently, blowing whis tles and shouting, “Get a police whis tle—the kind the cop carries"—it was not long before each peddler had a crowd around him, according to the New York Sun. Business ran along smoothly until a grizzled old sergeant of the men in blue came hurrying up the steep grade In Frankfort street in answer, as he thought, to a call for help. Instead he found a young man blowing and selling his stock of police whistles. A hurried survey told the experi enced policeman that he was not need ed, but he did give some unsought ad vice to the young man who had hur ried him up the incline on Frankfort street. It, briefly, was: “With a license you can sell them things you have; but don't let me hear you blow one, or in you go.” The advice was passed along the line, and from then on every salesman was content with shouting his wares. And the sales were good, too, as one man explained, for everybody in this town wants to have a whistle to call a cop, even if he never uses it. The Difference.
