President Fully Decides Not to Call
Senate or Entire Congress.
Washington. March 22.-Formal an
nouncement was made at the White
Hcvse today that at present President
Wilson has no intention OF calling an
extra session of the senate or Of con-
gress. It was said that the president
sees no prospect of any contingency
arising which would cause him to alter

Several senator's had suggested that
the president call q special session Of
the senate in October to consider rati-
fication Of the Colombian and Nicara-
guam treaties. Other suggestions were
that an extra session Of congress be
called to take up the question Of giving
the president authority to declare an
embargo on the expectation OF the mu-
.rttions OF war and foodstufxs to bel
ligerent nations.

Berlin, March 22-The Wolf bureau
correspondent today telegraphed q de-
scription of the fighting on March IL.
in which three Of the allies battleships
were sent to the bottom. Here follows
an abridgment Of the correspondents
story:
"The efforts Of the allies to force the
straits reached heir climax on March
Is. lasting seven hours. The entire at
mosphere around the Turkish forts was
darkened by clouds Of smoke from ex-
ploding shells and quantities OF earth
thrown into the air by the projectiles
of the warships.
'The allies entered the straits at
1890 in the morning and shelled the
town Of Chalak Kale. The engage
ment reached it's climax at 1889 when
the fire was concentrated on Fort
Hamidich and the adjacent fortified
positions.
Interesting Spectacle.
"The attack of modern marine artli-
lery on a strong land force presented
an interesting spectacle. At o'clock
the allies changed their tactics and
concentrated their fire on individual
batteries, but it was evident they found
DIFFICULTY in getting the range. Many
shells fell short, cast up pillars OF wa
ter. or went over the forts to explode
in tho town.
Eat q quarter past 8, when the bonn
5bardment was at it's hottest, the
French battleshtp Bouvet was seen to
be sinking at the stern. A moment
later she was going down. Roaring
cheers from the garrisons and forts
greeted this sight. Torpedo boats ana
other craft OF the allies hurried to the
rescue. but they saved only few men.
Bouvst Madly Battered.
"Besides having been struck py g
mine the Bouvet was struck about the
water line by fort fire. A mast was
shot away and hung overheard. When
sunk the Bouvet was endeavor1ng TO
gain the mouth OF the strait. This was
difficult as 1t was apparent her ma
chinery had been damaged.
Shortly after this British ship
was hit amidships and was compelled
to withdraw. Then another British ves-
sci was badly damaged and at a
quarter of was seen to retire. This
vessel ran in toward shore. For an
hour the allies tried to protect her with
their guns but 1t was apparent she
was doomed. Then she withdrew to-
ward the mouth Of the Dardanelles
which she reached in q few minutes
under hail of shells.
Fire 1000 Shells Without Result
"This was the first day when the
warships attacking the Dardanelles
kept within range Of the Turkish guns
for any considerable length Of time.
The result for them was terrible owing
to the excellent Workmanship from
the Turkish batteries. The allies fired
on this day 1000 shells without silenc-
ing one shore battery. This result has
inspired the. Turks with courage"

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

In reading President Wilson's Thanks
giving proclamation some searching queries
arise: How much do we owe the year Of
peace to our own wisdom, and how much to
the more or less deserved and direct inter-
vention Of a kind providence?
How deeply and how truly has our
national consciousness been q~uickened?
Has any part Of the price Of our safety
and prosperity been loss Of self-respect or
the respect Of other peoples?
Have we been in all things American?
AS these questions are answered in the
hearts Of the people Of the United States,
will President Wilson's proclamation be
proved sound and true or inadequate and
romantic.
The Thanksgiving ~proclamations of the
presidents would make an interesting col
lection. AS we recall these documents, they
have been remarkably free from cant and
rant.
Sometimes there has been apparently
little to give thanks for except that things
might have been worse and were not; but
this year we have been blessed of the earth's
abundance and safe in a world of perils.
