STEPS TAKEN TO PUT NATION
ON WAR FOOTING

England Says President's Action Is
Turning Point in World's
History
WestMM Newspaper t ntiill News Sri ho
Washington. -President Wilson lias
taken steps to place the nation on a
war footing.
Hy executive order, he lias directed
that the navy be recruited without
deluy to full authorized wat strength
of $7,000 enlisted men. Taken in con
nectlon with emergency naval con
st ruction already ordcted, this means
that the president has exercised the
lull limit of ills legal powers as com
mander In chief to prepate the navy
lor war.
For the aiiny.lhe president direited
that two new military departments be
created In the Atlantic coast region.
Tho older means that the task ot or
ganizing whatever army congressmen
authorize will be divided among six
departmental commanders instead of
four in the Interests of s-pocd and clll
uoncy in moliblzatkm.
The thin! step was to assume as a
national duty the task of protecting
American industries trom domestic
dl.soiders In the event of hostilities.
For this purpose eleven full infantry
regiments, two separate battalions
uud one separate company bj the na
tional guard were called hack into the
federal service to act as national
police in important districts.
Will Not Take German Vessels
Washington. Scores of Gvrman
merchant vessels, representing bun
dreds of thousands of tons of ship
ping, now in American harbors, are
tree to depart if tho Fnited States
goes to war with Gernjany
In tact, these ships could leave
now under international law, it was
olllclally pointed out, provided they
could show a "clean bill of health
ns to Intent, etc."
Furthermore, all such ships would
have a leeway of nine months fol
lowing a war declaration in which
to re-equlp damaged engines and
parts and take leave.
The Fnited States government
would selzv them, on ono condition
that everyone is paid for in full
measure.
This was the status of these ships
as outlined to the United Press by
the navy department.
Look for War Declaration
London. A declaration of war by
Germany against America within the
next few days would not surprise
British olllcials. From various
meager bits of news filtering out of
Germany today, such u step was
indicated. Ono report via Amster
dam had it that German olllcials hud
warned American newspaper men In
Herlln that, a statu of war was ex
pected within forty eight hours.
In tho view of many olllcials, tho
present week may bo tho turning
period of il.o war. America has ap
parently definitely cast the die
against Germany. The Teutonic re
treat on the western front is now
reaching tho now "Hindenburg line."
Persistent reports coiitlinre of vio
lent rioting In Germany which may
yet bo r wealed as u definite move
mont by tho Gorman people against
militaristic oppression. Meanwhile
Russia is strengthening toward maxl
mum effort.
London. Reuters' Amstvrdam cor
respondent roports that it is ru
mored that serious riots have broken
out in Herlln in connection with the
scarcity of food.
A dispatch from Oldcnzaul, Hoi
land, says persistent rumors are
current of great rioting in Herlln.
The dispatch says:
"Frontier regiments are reported
to hnve left for Herlln to maintain
order."
London received news of President
Wilson's call for an extraordinary
OTsiou of congress without undue,
emotion. It had long been expected.
Press and public alike believed it
was the response to the overt act
by war.
"United States of Russia"
Petrograd. -New Jtussia is likely to
bear tho name "Tho United States of
HiisHin," if the temper of the people
In I'etrogrnd is an index. At least
the form of government will bo ro
publican. Whether tho unmlstnkable
feeling on this point in the capital Is
Bhared throughout tho country is illfli
cult to toll. The Russian peasant's
mind Is principally fixed on tho land
question; breaking up great estates
and final opportunities to all. This
question solved satisfactorily, th
