To CALL CONGRESS
IN EXTRA SESSION?
WILSON'S DECISION TO CHANGE
POLICY IN MEXICO is
STARTLING.
TO WARN WARNING LEADERS
President to Issue Statement This
Week-Would Compel Delivery
of Red Cross Suppiies-Means
Settlements of Affairs.

Washington, June 1.-Only a triha
less startling than the Developments
in the European situation, is the de-
cision which the administration has
reached TO change its policy in Mex
leo. There is a possibility that devel-
opments in the European entangle-
ment may urge the administration to
adopt the course which it is expect
ed to outline this week relative to the
sister republic to the south.
How far reaching the Presidents
decision goes is something that is not
known. 1t is more than possible that
the President will be guided by events
and their development.
May Spell Intervention.
But this much appears certain, a
decision has been reached to warn
the military leaders that the time has
come to arrange their affairs, coupled
with a further decision to compel the
delivery of Red Cross supplies, which
means either a settlement of Mexican
affairs from within or from without.
Ii the settlement comes from without,
ii necessarily spells Intervention.
Since the announcement of the
Presidents decision and the acknowl-
edgment that he would issue d state
ment this week, Tuesday, Washington
has been probing into the purposes
back of the move, but without result.
Special Session Likely.
1t is considered probable hat it may
be preliminary to a special session
CT congress. Pressure is being
brought to bear on the President to
call Congress in extra session. Face
to face with the European wal which
no amount of blinking will discount,
the country is absolutely u%nprepared.
To call congress in special session
with the European situation as acute
as 1t is and with no other excuse,
would be to invite trouble immediate
ly. But with Mexico as the excuse.
1t is considered possible that the Eu-
ropean situation might be handled
without necessarily bidding defiance
to Germany. 1t is not outside the
realm of possibility that the President
has just such a purpose in his mind
and he may also desire TO distract
American attention from the European
situation by placing Mexico more
prominently upon the screen.
But whatever may have been the
reason for action at this particular
time, eventual action would be neces-
sary.

London, May 29.-The British bat
tleship Majestic, another of the ships
supporting the Allied army on the Gal
lipoli peninsula, has been ]torpedoed
and sunk by a German submarine.
Nearly all the officers and crew were
saved.
At about the same time the mine
laying steamer Princess Irene, which
was built last year for the Canadian
Pacific British Columbia coast serv-
ice, and which was taken over by the
Admiralty at the commencement of
the war, was accidentally destroyed
by an explosion while at anchor at
Sheerness, where she was undergoing
repairs.

All her crew, numbering about $50,
except n seaman, and, besides, IS
dockyard workers, who were aboard
at the time, lost their lives.
The Princess Irene was lying in the
Midway off Port Victoria. undergoing
repairs.
In addition TO her crew, which is
said 70 have numbered $50, there were
rs shipwrights on board the steamer
when, at 11:15 o'clock in the morn
ing, a terrific explosion was heard
from the ship, and a column Of dense
smoke.
When the smoke had cleared away
the steamer had completely disap.
peared. Only some floating wreckage
marked the spot where she had been
lying. Flying debris was scattered for
great distances. Many men on ships
in the vicinity Of the Princess Irene
were injured by this, and fragments
of the wreckage were picked up as
far away as Maidstone, 10 miles dis
tant from the scene of the explosion.
Only n body has thus far been
picked up from the Irene.

abled by an explosion off the coast

tain il was d torpedo which hit us.
Moreover, a submarine could not have

The ship was saved from sinking
by the strength of her No. 2 bulkhead,
which held back the food and buoyed
up the ship. Considerable damage was
done to the deck and fittings. The
steamers derricks were blown away
by the force Of the explosion.
Captain Greene of New York, cap
tain of the Nebraskan, told his story
of the damage to his ship:
I'VE left Liverpool Monday. The
next night, AZ miles off Fastnet at
1924 o'clock we were torpedoed. Only

was q terrible shock, which threw
everybody off his feet. Immediately
afterwards came a tremendous explos-
ion which slightly injured two quar-
termasters and the boatswain, hurled
the derricks 80 feet high and blew up
the matches.
The ship rapidly filed with water
in the lower hold ana commenced to
settle. We thought the ship was lost
and got into our four l~ifeboats. Two
armed British vessels came up in re.
ply to our distress signals.
AS the vessel still floated we re-
turned on board and made a more
careful examination. We found the
No. 2 bulkhead holding firm and de-
