If you keep score of how many convoy points you sink, you can sink 39 convoy points (39=390 PP) without getting a special event notice which occurs at 40 sinkings (40= 400PP). At 40 the USA goes on the March to war.

The Entente do not get any advantages if USA does not enter the war, however they (England and France) will still have convoys, which will not only give them income, but also an increase to their MP each time a convoy reaches port...
