PRESIDENT FOR
PEACE WITHOUT
1010 HONOR
Wilson's Position on International
Situation Further Revealed En
dured Jeers and Ridicule to Main
tain Peace Took Three Months to
Convince Germany.
WASHINGTON', March 3. Presi
dent Wilson' position on the interna
tional situation as revealed further
today was that he hail told congres
sional lenders it was months after the
resignation of Former Sccrotnry
Brynu before the United States gov
ernment could convince Qcrmanv thnt
. . i
tin nation wns in earnest m its pos
ition on submarine warfare.
The president is understood to
have mentioned this fact to show his
belief that action by congress would
further weaken the position of the
United States abroad. He is under
stood to have told tho leaders thnt
charges that he wnntetl to Ret the
United States into war were entirely
disapproved by his attitude in the
last two jenrs. He endured jeers
anil ridicule, he mi id, because of his
efforts to maintain peace, lie is un
derstood to have declared that ho
has nlwnys been willing to do any
thing except sacrifice honor in order
to maintain the United States nt
pence
Ureal; DIsciismvI.
At the some timo the president de
elared he did not see how the United
State could do anything but sever
diplomatic lelntinim with nay nation
which kilted Americans in violation
of international law.
Wliiie both Secretary tansiug nnd
fount Von Heriistorff, the (lonnnu
nmbiiusiitlnr, have flntly deelinetl to
eoiuinent upon the statements re-
ita riling the osibility of wnr uttrib
ii ted to President Wilson by Senator
(ore, ami later denied by the white
house, it wns learned today that
mention of the result of n break of
diplomatic relations hud been dis
cussed (uite casually and informally
by the secretary mid the ambassador
late iu January of this year.
Secretury Lansing, it is said, told
tho ambassador thnt in event of a
complete disagreement on tho sub
ject the United States might bu
obliged to break off diplomatic rela
tions. The ambassador is reliably
represented a having replied that ho
fully understood the iew of the sec
retary nnd to have ndded the hope
that nothing of the kind ever would
occur.
Check On .Submarines.
The ambassador pointed out that
with diplomatio relations severed
there would bo no agency by which
the euthusiasm of naval commanders
could bu hold in check and that some
eircumstauco wns almost certain to
occur to load to hostilities. The am
bassador is also represented as hav
ing pointed out that the modifica
tions in the eouduet of submarine
warfare, made since the beginning of
the wur, had beeu solely on account
of icgurd for tho wishes of the Unit
ed States.
The authority from whom this in
formation was obtained said it
should bo understood that the am
bassador was only oppressing his
own personal opinions nnd thnt the
ennwrstttion with Seerotnry Lansing
was absolutely informal and not to
be regarded" as sigmticaiit of any
thing. HIIS BALTIC MNE

WASIIINOTON, March n.-In the
debate following tho tabling of the
(lore resolution on wnruiinr Ameri
cans off tinned ships, Senator Hornh
suid thnt he was iu favor, nfter full
debate, of having cnugroM go on rec
ord as supporting the right of Ameri
cans to go on armed merchantmen, n
right ret'ognixed for five hundred
years nnd to tell the world that any j
nation which tint not reeognue that
right would be held to it strict no
couijnbility. "Wo denounce Oermnny because
we do not like hfr system of govern
ment norther militarism,'' said Sena
tor llorah, "yet the senate of the
United States, the highest legislative
hotly in-the world, wus Oennn nixed
today. We took the snme attitude
and reached the same result by the
sumo process as the highest dominii
legislative body would it direeteti by
the knimir from the throne."
Senator Ilornh eoutiimed Hint the
vote was of no miIuc to the presi
dent as mi expression of the senti
ment of the aeunle.
"It it most unfortunate that we
disposed of it as we did," he said.
"I am not afraid of war if it is
necessary to protect American rights.
I am not afraid of sacrifice. We
cannot1 hope to piny our part in the
world if we are not brave euoujjh to
make a sacrifice for our rights.
