President Wilson, bedridden, ordered the arming of Americana merchant ships against German submarine warfare and called for an extra congressional session to meet on April 16. The move followed Senate rule changes and was framed as a response to German ruthlessness and a push by Allies to deter maritime aggression. The White House issued no detailed statement beyond confirming the decision after months of tension and urging restraint in public commentary.
