SW-. .'1WI xx wxeir~ tnternational News Service. 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?

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. '"1 • Itsly To Arm Merchantmen. International Kews Ssrvlce. Rome, Italy, March 7.—Tbe Italian government has decided to arm practically all merchant ships and to offer prizes for merchantmen that sink submarines. An official of the ministry of marine ls working out details ot tbe new program. Armed Ship Denied.

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.

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

never reeort to arms to preserve the
Union. It ls not Inconceivable that the
obstructionists—filibusters—may be
actuated by traitorous* sentiments.The
