Until Congress Acts.
Washington.?It was learned defir.ictly
that the American government
has no knowledge of any development
likely to come before congress
acts which would change the present
situation between the United States
and Germany.
If Germany contemplates any sort
of peace move or has considered
abandoning submarine ruthlessness
or of any other nation has a step in
mind designed to alter the present
international status, the government
is without information on the sub
ject.
Except for information concerning
German plots, the public knows as
much .of the general situation as
;
decs the government. Concerning
German intrigue in this and other
countries, the government has much
information which up to the present
it has not thought wise to make
public.
President Wilson continued conference
with his advisers, preparatory
to writing the address he will
deliver to congress next week.
The administration is said to he
chiefly concerned at present with the
form of action to be taken by congress
recognizing that Germany is
making war on the United States
and with preparedness measures.
Left to Congress.
Aggressive steps, while being care
fully considered, are understood to
be looked upon as questions for determination
after congress has defined
the status of the nation.
Whether suggestions that a hug<
lean or gift of money to one or more
of the entente allies should be adopted,
whether an army should be sent
abroad, and whether increased supplies
of munitions should be forwarded
are generally regaarded as
question which would only confuse
the issue if pressed to decision now.
The president has told no one just
what his message to congress will ,
include. It is expected to review
"the history of the negotiations with
Germany leading up to the present
situation and submit what he believ
< ; congress should do. The preponderance
of opinion still is that congress
will adopt a resolution declaring
that a state of war exists.
The president conferred during
the day with Col. E. M. House, who
came here last night, and returned
to New York today, and with Senator
Husting of Wisconsin, just back
from hom?,
Discuss Their Duties.
Secretaries Lansing, Daniels and
Baker met to discuss activities common
to their departments, and at the
department of labor, there was a con
ference to lay plans for the mobilization
of the labor forces of the country.
Secretary DaniQls, Attorney
General Gregory and Secretary McAdoo
paid brief visits to the White
House. On leaving the White House
Senator Husting said he could not
give the president's views, but that
his personal opinion was that Germany
is making war on the United
States and that the United States
should recognize that fact. He added
he believed the people of the V/est
ready to support the president fully.
"Armed neutrality has not kept
Germany from sinking our ships,"
Senator Husting said, "and therefore
I think we should go further. Of
course, I am opposed to war if it can
can be avoided, but we have no say
in the matter.
"Germany is making war on us. I
cm not concerned with details just
now; just what steps are best should
De left to the determination of the
hoard of strategy, whoever that may
be. Discussion of details at present
only cause discord."
President Wilson and practically
every member of his cabinet have r< ecivod
invitation within the last fe v
days to across patriotic meetings
in various parts of the country, but
so far have consistently refused Is
accept them. They have done so part

"There is no good reason for the

the right of foreign merchantmen,
Americans for instance, to carry the

The Labor Problem.
Immigration has been at a minimum
for two years. The new federal
law, which became so in spite
of the president's veto against the
literacy test, will in all probability
make it even more difficult for foreign
laborers to come into this country.
Thus the situation is anything
but satisfactory to agriculture, which
needs men to work on the farm. In
the last 12 years, 1912 showed the
biggest alien immigration, 1,387,000;
this has fallen to an average of only
300,000 the past two years In the
crop season of 1917 more than ever
before there must be the wisest utilization
of farm machinery and farm
power. There will be an enormous
demand for products of the farm of
all descriptions. The problem will be
to produce at a minimum of cost.?
