WASHINGTON. March 2o.-On the
eve OF his departure from tho city on
a short lecturing trip. President Will
son last night called Speaker Champ
Clark to the White House for o con-
ference. To-day II was reported
around tho Capitol that the President
Is beginning to believe that he WILL
have to summon Congress back to
Washington before the summer Is
ended.
The foreign situation is worrying
the President. Complications are grow
ing. and legislation may be required
to meet conditions that arc now con-
fronting the administration. tho Presi-
dent. so 1t Is said. not being willing to
assume all responsibility. 1t was re-
ported that the President talked quite
frankly with the Speaker and intimat-
ed his fears that Congress would have
to be assembled.
One prominent Democratic Senator.
who. In season and out OF season, has
urged the expansion OF the American
navy as the best protection for tho
country and an insurance against war,
day expressed the belief that the
greatest MISTAKE OIL the administration
was the treatment OF the appropria-
tions for the support OF tho army and
the navy.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPENDED
IN DISCRETION OF PRESIDENT
"We would not be talking 30 much
about this paper blockade of Great
Britain and interference with our
commerce" said this Senator. had we
acted sensibly. 1t would have been
the part OF wisdom had we simply
passed a Joint resolution appropriating
a lump sum OF s5o.o00.o 900 or 500, OOo,-
600 for the national defense to be ex-
pended in the discretion Of the Presi-
dent. as we did when war with Spain
threatened. The mere passage Of such
a resolution not only would have given
the President the means to provide
for such expansion as he believed ne
cessary. but 1t would havs been no.
tice to tho present belligerents that
the United States did not intend to
have Its legitimate rights under Inter-
national law trampled upon.
Legislation OF that character would
have made present conditions impos-
sibie. for 1t would have been accepted
as public notice that the United States
was prepared to assert its rights and
maintain them"

French battleships had tho honor Of
attacking the forts in the narrows of

March TO- They accomplished this task
with vigor, and were highly praised
by the British sailors. Rear-Admiral
Gueprette telegraphs that the honor Of
the French flag has been fully sua-
tanned. although dearly bought by tho
loss Of the Bouvet.
THE number OF survivors Is actually
known to be sixty-four. The number
killed and wounded on the other ships
OF tho division Is small"
The Bouvet in times OF peace had a
complement OF 62l men. It is the Gus
tom, however, to Increase the number
on board vessels OF this class in time
OF war, and the Bouvet may have had
n considerably greater crew when she
