Wsshlngton, D. C, March 7.—
Senator Walsh ef Mentsns, urging revision ef the senate rules
this afternoon, hurled s torrent of
denunciation upon "the little
group ef willful men" who killed
the armed neutrality bill Sunday
afternoon.
"It is not Inconceivable," he
said, "thst the obstructionists—
ths flllbusterers may be actuated
by traitorous sentiments. What
say you can tho senate make a
rale under whleh It msy be held
st bay by treachery until s foreign
foe shall hsve prevailed over a supine nation f
Hs called attention to ths fsct
thst In 1861 ths senators were ex-
pelted for treason.
"The people whom. In our feeble
■way, we Are trying here to represent,"
said Senstor Walsh," are evidently re.
solved to take upon themselves hardens  for providing and  maintenance
and   military   establishment   greater
than ever heretofore borne tn time ot
peace and rivalling those    rendered
necessary by the exigencies of    the
civil vjar. mm —
"A general alarm pervaded rheeoun-
try lest some enemy may, ia the very
near future, attack us. Imagine the
time at hand and tbe foe hearing down
upoh ua. The crisis involves the very
lite of the nation. The occasion
brooks no delay. Action—immeediate
action—by congress ls imperative.
Congress ls empowered by the constitution to declare war. Congress It Is
that Is to ratHe and support armies.
Congress Is to provide and maintain
a navy. Congress is to provide tor
calling forth tbe militia to repel Invasions and to organise armies and
discipline tb<«m to that end. Congress
it ls that must levy and collect taxes
to meet the expenditures of war and
thst must borrow money oil the credit
ot the United States tor the vigorous
prosecution of war. It ls scarcely conceivable that war should be precipitated or be Impending without an appeal
from the president, both In his civil
capacity and as commander In chief ot
the land and naval forces ot the na
tion for some hurried action by congress. Such an appeal comes to this
body. It finds a ready response ex
cept from a small coterie of senators
who spell each other on the floor until
the enemy thunders at the gates of
our cities anf tbe republic has had Its
death blow. They may be honest but
misguided peace-at-any-prlce men wbo
continue to hope that the awful horror
of armed conflict may be averted by
further peaceful overtures.
"Multitudes of sagacious men believed in 1861 that the south wonld not
fight and others that the north would
never reeort to arms to preserve the
Union. It ls not Inconceivable that the
obstructionists—filibusters—may be
actuated by traitorous* sentiments.The
revolution bad Its Arnold. I trust I
offeend no sensibilities in referring to
the fact that In 1861 ten or more members of this body were expelled (or
treason. A vice president ot the United States, wbo, for four years, presided over the senate was indicted and
tri<sd tor treason snd a senator, charged with hlm for this capital offense
escaped expulsion by only one vote.
The senate bad alrfeady at that early
day expelled one of lets members tor
perfldtdaa negotiations with the ene-
mles of his country. We are all sworn
to bear true faith and allegiance to
the United States, a needless oath
perhaps unless it be that some of us
may, conceivably, require the aid of
heaven to keep us true.
"What say you, can the senate make
a rule under whlcb it may be held at
bay by treachery until a foreign toe
shall have prevailed over a supine nation T I repeat, a rule of tbe senate,
the effect ot which is or may be to deprive it of the power, under any circumstances, of bringing debate to a
close is void.
"I am not one of those who, being
balked by some law, organic or otherwise, wonld ruthlessly, having the
power, sweep lt aside to attain this
end. Reverence tor law Is the sure
foundation upon which government
and society alike rest. If In our conduct It is not inculcated where ahall
we look to find it exhibited?   I shall

BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Internstional Nsws Serviee Staff
Correspondent
Washington, D. C, March 7—American merchant ships are to be armed
by the United States,government and
sent on their voyages to the ports of
the seven seas regardless of submarines, "barred zones" and other obstacles which the war bas placed ln
tbe path of American commerce.
President Wilson definitely decided
on tbis step today. Fortified witb the
opinion of the attorney general tbat
he has the authority to make such a
move, wtth the approval of administration supporters ln congress and the
legal advisors of tbe government, the
president ls convinced tbat he is acting within bis rights even though the
congressional approval which be
sought before the death of tte 64th
congress was withheld.
The president .called to the White
House this, morning fig Democratic
whe have been active In be-
droi liiHitln^tolliii fli ii
of Oklahoma, Walsh ot Montana,
Swanson ot Virginia. Smith of Geor-
gle, Reed of Missouri and James of
Kentucky—and informed tbem of his
decision. He took up with them and
approved the proposition of changing
the senate rules toward a modified
for mot cloture wbich will hereafter
prevent any "little group of wilful
men" from holding up legislation vitally affecting the nation.
With the president's deeislon to
arm merchant vessels, the break with
Austria which looked to be temporarily averted by the conciliatory tone
of the latest Austrian note, again be*
comes imminent. The Austrian government flatly stated that it considered the arming of American vessels
in direct contradiction to internatlon-.
al law and declared ln effect that its
submarines would be perfectly at liberty to sink them. Should it do this
a diplomatic break could not be everted.
Following tbe White House conference with senators, Secretary of State
Lansing was summoned to the executive mansion and remained closeted
wtth the president for almost an hour.
The two canvassed the situation thoroughly. Every eventuality which the
move may bring forth was gone over.
It was said in administration circles
today that a public statement will
soon be issued setting forth tbe exact position of the government ill
arming its  merchant vessels.

Carranza Threatened By
Germany With Revolution if
He Failed To Fight U. S.
International News Serviee:
New York, N. Y., March 7.—Germany threatened General Carrania
with "the most formidable revolution he had ever known" It he refused to make war on the United
States ln accordance wtth Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman's proposals
for the formation of a German-Mex-
lco*Japsnese alliance.
This fact, together with ether sensational developments, were disclosed by federal authorities today la
the investigation that followed the
arrest of Dr. Ernest Mathlas
Sakunna, a German, and Dr. Chandra Chakraberty. a Bengalese, for
formulating an "Bast Indian" plot
Information obtained by federal
authorities from papers seized in the
office of Wolf von Igel," at the time
of tbe Welland Canal plot exposure,
together wltt other bits of evidence,
enabled federal authorities here,
tbey said, to annouaos these disclosures:
Lieutenant Fay In Mexico
That Robert Fay, lieutenant la
the German army, who escaped -from
tte federal penitentiary la Atlanta
while serving a term for plotting to
destroy allied munition ships, weat
to Mexico, where he Is now hidnng.
That 18,000.000 has been spent hy
the Oerman government In fomenting plots In ths Catted States within tte last few months.
Many German Spies Active
That thousands of  Oerman  spies
are now engaged la dlltsrs^ parts
of the country  In formulating aad
furthering conspiracies.
Germany Spends $8,00<MM>0 Here
That the spy system ls heeded by
sn agent of the Kaiser's government,
referred to as the "master spy," who
Is still at large.
That Berlin, in spite of many arrests aad numerous spoiled plots, Is
apparently satisfied wltt ths results
accomplishes.
▼ea Igel's name Is connected with
many ot the disclosures. Federal
authorities assert they have reason
to believe that X** wss the managing
director of the German spy system
until be sailed for home with Count
voa Bernstorff aad that he turned
hte work over to tte "master spy,"
whose Identity has aot yet been
disclosed.
German .Gold to Be I'sed
The federal authorities hare learn
ed, they asserted this afternoon, that
Carranfla was notlfled ln so many
words that if he did not acquiesce
In tte Oerman program a determines
revolution would be set under way,
financed by German money and engineered by Oerman military authorities, to depose him. In this connection lt was recalled that an In-'
ternatlnnal News Service dispatch '
from El Paso some weeks ago
brought tte news that United States
agents were investigating reports!
that German consuls were supplying
Villa aad other bandits with funds
with which to renew their operations against Carranza. It is be-,
lleved to be more than a coincidence
that Villa suddenly became active ln
northern Mexico and that Villista
bandits began operating ln th*
Monterey district at about the same
time that German began exerting
pressure on Mexico to join ln possible war against the United States.
Viewed In the light ot this afternoon's disclosures, it Is now believed
that tte northern Mexico bandlta
were stirred to activity by German
agents for the sold purpose of convincing Carransa that Oermany
mold make good her threats.
"There Is ample evidence to prove
that there Is a spy master tor tte
German government In thts country
directing the activities of tte various groups of tools," said a hglh
government offlcial this afternoon.
"He Is the hub In this intricate intrigue, and be has agents numbering thousands as the spokes. As
ven Igel left this country each agent
received an amount In cash, according to Importance of tbe agent aaS
the work mapped oat for hlm. It
has been asserted that the amount
known to have been spent has beea
a little ln excess ot t3,000,000."
