STATUS OF m "NEGOTIATIONS | \\'ASHL\GTQ. \hrrh 3.—Presi- dent Wilson's position on the inter- national situation as revealed further | today was that he had told congres- sional jeaders it was months after the resignation of former Secretary Bryan before the United States gov- could convince Germany that (his nation was in earnest in its | position on submarine warfare. The president is understood to have mentioned this fact to show his belief that action by congress would further ernment weaken the position of the United States abroad. He ls understood to have told the leaders that charges that he wanted | to get the United States into war were | -ntirely disproved by his attitude during the last two years. ana ridicule, he said, beoause of his ef-| forta to maintain peace.

At the same time the prosident de- clared he did not seo how the United States could do anything but sever dip- lomatic relations with any nation which killed Americans in violation of Inter- national law, Lansing and Bernstorff, While both ®ecretary Lansing and Count vom Bernstorff, the German am- bassador, have flatly declincd to com- ment upon the statements regarding the possibility of war attributed to Presi- dent Wilson by Henator Gore and later denied by the White House, it was | jearned today that mention of the result of & break of diplomatic relations had been discussed quite casually and infor- mally by the secretary and the ambas- sador late in January of thia year. According to authoritative information the discussion came at a time when Sec- retary Lansing informed the ambassador exactly what kind of a communication from Glermany would settle the Lusitania in a manner satisfactory to the government might change some of the exprossions used in the document which the secretary had indicated would be ac- ceptable. They agreed that the ambassa- dor should sumbit the document to his government and sée what changes it would suggest, which the ambassador did. repre- pointed out that the in the conduct of subma- #ince the beginning been solely on account I-M- of the United é;;';* ‘whom this infor- #afd it should be I L the conversation with Becretary m ‘was absolutely informal and not .| chant ship would be a just cause for ' the senate, the Tepresentatives concurring, that the aink- submarine without notice an armed merchant vessel her public enemy, resulting in the of & citisen of the United States, constitute a just and sufficlent war between the United States senators explained that the double form of the question was respon- ‘wible for the character of the vote, as few senators wanted to vote op the ques- tion regarding & cause for war. after the vote In the .

When the senate assembled promptly at 11 o'clock practically all the adminis- tration senators were in their seats wait- Ing for the usual rourd of morning busi- ness to be passed over so Eenator Stone could make the mgroed motion to table the Gore resolution. To hurry the procedure it was agreed to dlapense with reading the journal, and the usual grist of memorials and peti- tions was presented. The floor, erowded with senators and representatives, and the galleries packed by a throng which including the president's wife, fairly hummed with expeotation. Benator Gore, author of the resolution forces were the sensational declarstion that he had heard President Wilson expected war with Germany was led to his seat by ' his secretary, the center of all eyes in the chamber.
