The icply declares that neutrals are

The reply of Austria states that

cerning the warning to neutral vessels
do not apply to armed merchant ships,
which may bo considered as pirates

The reply says "that whatever atti

the Austro-iluugarlau government Is

Also Calls Extra Session of Sixty
Fifth Congress for
April 16.
CABINET BACKS HIS ACTION
Government Will Not Tell Names of
Vessels That Are Given Guns and
Gunners Press Asked to
Maintain Secrecy.
Washington March 12. President
IVIIson has decided to arm American
merchant ships, under his constitu
tional authorll, and also has called a
special session of congress for April 10.
American merchant ships sailing for
the subinailne .one have heen armed
by the government and they are icady
to Rail.
To Conceal Names of Ships.
The names of the aimed ships will
not be made public by the government
and are not expected to be published In
the newspapers.
The president signed the proclama
tion for the extra session on Friday
while lying In bed with a cold. Orders
for carrying out the president's de
cision to arm ships were Immediately
sent to the navy department.
The president decided to arm ships
after receiving formal opinions from
Attorney General Gregory and Secre
tary Lansing that he had such author
ity. In spite of old statutes which some
believed forbade It.
Mr. Wilson has the backing of tho
entire cabinet In taking the step. Guns
for arming merchantmen have been as
sembled at navy yards along the At
lantic coast and everything Is ready
to carry out the policy announced by
the president.
Ask Secrecy for Ships.
The nnvy department Issued nn np
peal to the American newspapers to
refrain from publishing any Informa
tion whatever of the nature or arma
ment of ships and already has appealed
to the cable companies to suppress all
Information of ships crossing the At
lantic In either direction.
With the government launched on
the policy of nrmlng American mer
chantmen to defy the risks of thu Ger
man wai' zone, thu newspapers and
nil other news-dispensing agencies of
thu United" States were requested to
plncu themselves under a self-imposed
censorship.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
calling the Washington representa
tives of the newspapers of the coun
try together, asked that all definite
Information as to the arming of
ships, or the movement of armed ships
bo suppressed.
Thinks Country Backs Him.
Because of tho passage by thu house
of the armed neutrality bill and tho
signing of the manifesto approving
such a step by a majority of the sennto
during Its last session, the president
feels he has congress and the country
behind him. As soon as congress con
venes additional legislation on the
question will he asked.
Under a hill passed near the end of
the last session the amount of money
at the disposal of the government wnr
risk bureau for Insuring American
ships was increased to $ir,(MM),000. Un
der the present rule of the bureau tho
government does not Insure ships car
rying arms or ammunition.
Tumulty Makes Statement.
The following statement was issued:
"Secretary Tumulty stated in con
nection with the president's call for an
extra session of congress that the pres
ident Is convinced that he has the
power to arm American merchant ships
and Is free to exorcise it at once. Hut
so much necessary legislation Is press
ing for consideration that he Is con
vinced that It Is for the best Interests
of the country to have an early session
of the SIxty-ilftli congress, whose sup
port he will need In all matters col
lateral to the defense of our merchant
murine."
After the White House announce
ment the navy department announced
"we are prepared as to gunners as well
ns guns."
May Ask Approval of Step.
It was stated that as soon as the new
congress convenes the president will
lay before a joint session his views and
desires as to legislation. If he wants
legislative sanction for his step In arm
ing American ships, congressional lead
ers declared that It would be promptly
forthcoming.
The adoption of a cloture rule in tho
senate has cleared the way for action
In both houses to bold up the presi
dent's hands In dealing with Gerninny.
Immediately following the Issuance
of the call for an extra session there
was a succession of events tending to
make It extremely possible that there
will be bi-partisan organization In tho
next house with Champ Clark con
tinued as speaker,
White Book to Tell Plotting.
It became known that the adminis
tration Is preparing a White book set
ting forth all of the evidence of Ger
man plotting against the United
States, chlelly In I he Latin-American
countiles, and of the activities of Ger
man agents In Inciting acts of violence
on American soil. These documents
are to be published In thu event that
relations with Germany take a moiu
serious turn.

Calls Extra Session April 16
Washington, Pi esldent Wilson has j
ordered thut a policy of armed neu- i
tr.ility be put into ettect Immediately
by the arming of American merchant
vessels and called an extra session
of congress to meet Monday, April 16, i
in order to have itb suppoit and coun- I
sol "In all matters collateral to tho
defense of our merchant marine."
On tho mature advice of the govern
ment's highest legul autrorltles, the
president decldod that failure of his
armed neutrality bill nt the last ses
sion left him with sufficient authority
under existing statutes to issue naval
guns to merchantmen.
He is expected, however, to ask that
all doubt on the point be removed by
passage of a specific authorization as
soon as congress meets.
It was learned definitely that some
American merchant ships sailing for
tire submarine zone will be nrmed by
tho government at once. Preliminary
arrangements have been completed
and It is expected that vessels will bo
ready to sail in the near future.

suffering from a severo cold on account
of exposure last week will be urged to

Self-denial Is a fundamental virtue,

desires are forever stretching out be
yond present rench. It seems strango
that, especially In our country, pcoplo
shrink from saying, "I can't afford it,"
when economy means safety and con
tentment, whereas false pride brings
danger and unhapplne.ss. Fear of be
ing thought poor or stingy has brought
misery, and often crime, Into mnny a
household. The average wages, sal
aries and Incomes are higher In this
country than In any other, yet our
savings hanks do not make a credit
able showing. Fourteen countries
grently outrank oars in the proportion
of savings accounts to population. In
