STATUS OF THE NEGOTIATIONS
WASHINGTON, March J. Presi
dent WllBOn'a position on the Inter
national situation a revealed further
today was that he had told congres
sional leaders It was months after
the resignation of former Secretary
Bryan before the United Slates gor
erntiH'tit could convince Germany
that this nation was In earnest In Its
position oh submarine warfare.
The pronlrtpnt Is understood to h
mentioned this fact to show his belief
that action by ronirresa would furthsr
wesken the position of lha trnltrd State
abroad. He la tindrrstoo-l to hava told
the loaders that rharires that he wanted
to t tha I rilted Btates Into war wera
-ntlraly disproved by bla attltuda during
the last two yrara. Ha endured leers
end ridicule, ha aald, because of hla ef
forts to maintain peace. He la under
utood to hava declared that he has al
ways been willing to do anything except
facrlfice honor !n order to maintain the
Tnlted aiatee at reee.
At the same time the president de
rlared be did not see how tha t'nlted
tatee could do anything but sever dip
lomatic relations with any nation which
killed Americans In violation of Inter
national law.
La mat Ma; aad Berastorff.
While both Secretary I-anlng and
fount von Bernstorff. the Wrmn am
bassador, have flatly declined to com
ment upon tha statementa regarding tha
possibility of war attributed to Treat
dent Wilson by Henator Oore and later
denied by the White House, It waa
learned today that mention of the result
of a break of diplomatic relations had
been discussed quit casually and Infor
mally by tha secretary and the ambas
sador late In January of this year.
According- to authoritative Information
tha dtacusalon cams at a time when Bec
retary Ianslng Informed the ambassador
eaactly what kind of a communication
from tier-many would aettle tha Lusltanla
case in a manner satisfactory to tha
t'nlted HUte.
The ambassador la said to have In
formed Mr. Lansing that he believed his
government might change aoma of the
exproaalon used In tha document which
tha secretary had Indicated would be ac
ceptable. They agreed that tha ambaaea
dor should sumblt the document to his
government and see what change tt
would surges!, which tha embassador did.
.At tha same time, quite inrormablly, ba
ta understood to have asked the secre
tary what ha thought would ba tha ulti
mata result should Germany fall to meet
the requirements of tha United States.
KaUer Hopes to Avoid Trials,
fee rotary Lansing, tt Is aald, told the
ambassador that In event of a complete
Disagreement on tha subject, tha United
Mates might ba obliged to break off dip
lomatic relations. Tha ambassador la re-
, llably represented as having replied that
ba fully understood tha view of tha sno-
' retary and to have added the hop that
nothing of the kind ever would occurr.
" Tha ambassador pointed out that with
diplomatic relatione severed there would
ba no agency by which tha enthusiasm
of naval commanders could ba held In
check and that soma circumstance was
almost certain to occur to lead to hoa
tllllloa. The ambassador also ta repre
sented as having pointed out that tha
modifications tn tha conduct of subma
rine warfare, made since the beginning
of the war, had been solely on aocounl
of regard for tha wishes of the United
, States.
Tho authority from whom thla Infor
, matlan wvs obtained aald It should be
understood that tha ambassador waa only
'. expressing his own personal aplnlona and
. that tha converaatlon with Secretary
Lansing waa absolutely Informal and not
to bo regarded as significant of anything.

Banator Borah continued that tha vote
was of no value to the president as an
expression of the sentiment of the senate.
"It Is most unfortunate that wa dis
posed of It as we did." he aald, "I am
not afraid of war If it la necessary to

of sacrifice. We cannot hope to play our

When the senate assembled promptly
at 11 o'clock tractlcally all th adminis
tration senators were In their seaU wait
ing for the usual rour.d of morning busi
ness to be passed ovet so Penator Stone
could make the agreed motion to table
tha Gore resolution.
To hurry the procedure It was agreed
to dispense with reading tha journal, and
the usual grist of memorials and peti
tions was presented. Tha floor, crowded
with senators and trprasentatlvea. and
the galleries packed by a throng which
Including the president's wife, fairly
hummed with expectation.
Venator Oore, author of the resolution
which, tha administration forces were j
ready to kill and who yesterday made ,
the sensational declaration that he had

Oar Resolution Called Vp.
Morning buslneas was finally closed
and Senator Stone asked that tha Oore
resolution he laid before the senate.
Henator McCumber, republican of North )
Dakota, offered a substitute to express
the sense of the senate that tha rules
of International law should be revised
to meet new conditions of war and that
pending negotiations with foreign pow
ers Americans be requested to refrain
from endangering their Uvea by travel
ing on armed veaaela.
When the McCumber substitute had
been read, Senator Btons again called
for tho Oore resolution, and It waa laid :
before the senate. Thereupon Banator
James moved that the resolution and all
substitutes be laid on the table. Senator '
Oore waa on his feet, asking recognition, j

Penator Oore then offered a correction I
on hla resolution to make It declare the I
sense of th senate that the death of an
American cltlaen on aa unarmed mer-;
chant ship would be a Just cause for
war.
After a brief parliamentary brush he
was pen. lilted to submit the correction
of hla resolution, but when be sought to
discuss it he waa shut off on objection
ministration victory a mixed one.
"i am content," sail Senator Oore. "I
had another resolution which I would
have liked to submit, but I could get no
opportunity. That would have resolved
that the legislative department of the
government Is vested with authority to
carry on diplomatic regollationa Just as
congress Is vested with authority to de
clare war. It would also have expressed1
the view that the executive should nol
be Interfered with by eongreea In the
conduct of diplomatic negotiations. I
guess, however. I wtll not press It."
Penator IOdue of Massachusetts de
clared that the senate's attltuda could not
be confused because of the parliamentary
entanglement.
"In tabling the M:Cumber resolution
along with the others," Senator Lodge
said, "the senate went on record ss op
posing a direct warning to Americans

tive authority. The McCumber resolu
tion, slightly modified, Is In order, hut It
will go to the calendar and there will he

Discussion dragged on In the sens
until late In the day. Senator Bherman
made a long argument on the- right of

would have voted without hesitation for

to get an expreeelon of th senate on

Th text of th Senator Oore' addition
to hla original resolution and which waa
tabled with th warning resolution was
a follow:
"Resolved. By th senate, th houa of
representative concurring, that th sink
trig by Oerman submarine without notlo
or warning of aa armed merchant vessel
of her public enemy, moulting In the
death of a cltlsan of the United Ptatea.
would constitute a just and aufflolent
cause of war between the Uulted Statea
-nd th Oerman empire,"
Several senators explained that the
double form of th question waa raspon
' alble for the character of the vote, as
few senators wanted to vote on the ques
tion regarding a cause for war.
Immediately after the vote in the
senate Senator Reed, democrat, read a
statement aaying he felt It was highly
Important that the Impression In Ger
many that the country and congress was
not behind the president should be re

tha aanate was expected to solidify th

AS yet no resolution ha been agreed
upon In the latter committee which would

Vloodi expressed the hop that a sat la

AS WE GROW OLDER
our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in Scott's Emulsion to renew the blood
and carry strength to every organ of the
body,while its glycerine soothes theres
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
Scott's Emulsion is a scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. On bottle wilt prove
Its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.
