President Wilson Wins Backing in Congress on War Policy
Washington reports President Wilson won a big Democratic majority to back his submarine diplomacy with Germany. The House rejected the McLemore resolution 266 to 160 and then adopted a four hour rule for debate before tabling the measure 276 to 142, in a seven hour session. Wilson, relieved, readies new steps toward assurances with Germany as tensions rise over armed merchant ships and the Lusitania issue.
