TAKES PERSONAL CHARGE Washington, March 11, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —President Wilson today cancelled all engagements lor the next three weeks in order to assume personal charge of the inter-na-tional situation. He will only see officials who are in touch witli the various problems that affect America’s foreign ploicy. Tills Action is admitted to be due to the sinking ot the American sailing vessel, by the armed auxiliary German cruiser. The sinking of his vessel flying the American flag lias created an unprecedented situation and the president believes it is necessary for him to be personally in charge. There is no tear that the sinking of the ship will 1 e followed by any war-like measures on the part of the United States. But the president intends to insist on the rights being respected. A complete and searching inquiry concerning the sinking was ordered today. In ordering the inquiry the president said: “A most searching inquiry will he made and whatever action is taken will be based on the results of that inquiry. The president and Secretary Bryan are cooperating in the investigation. This inquiry began today at Norfalk. It will be pushed to completion immediately, if the facts aer as shown by the statement of the captain then the United States will insist on reparation, which it is generally agreed will be forthcoming. The United States will insist in its negotiations with German that its position is as outlined by the president in his note in which lie said: “If the commander of German vessels destroy an American vessel it would be difficult for the United States to view the act in any other way than an indefensible violation which it would be very hard to reconcile. If such a deplorable situation should arise, tlie government would be constrained to hold the imperial government to a strict accounting.” BOOSTED THEIR AGE.
