WILSON RETURNS
TO TAKE CHARGE

CONTINUED From First Page,l
The fact that the Persia mounted
one gun was disclosed in a dispatch
from American Consul Garrels at
Alexandria. What effect that will
have OH the situation, however, can
not be definitely determined until il
is known whether the gun was
mounted for offense or defense.
Everywhere in Washington, in off,
cial and diplomatic circles, and at the
capitol. where congress reassembles
tomorrow after the holiday recess
the situation was viewed as most
critical and fraught with grave
eventualities.
May Go to Committee
Chairman Stone, of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. confer
red with Secretary Lansing at the
Secretary's invitation, but was nom
committal about the visit Senator
Stone admitted that the submarine
crisis had been discussed and that he
expected to confer with President
Wilson on the latter's return to-
morrow. He said he did not know
whether the crisis would be consider
ed by the foreign relations committee
Just yet"
There seemed to be a growing i'm
preston in official quarters that to-
morrow the President may call the
congress leaders together and acquaint
them fully with the situation.
Secretary Lansing said that some
action would be taken to formally
notify Turkey and Bulgaria of the
attitude of the United States toward
submarine warfare so that all the
central powers belligerents operating
in the Mediterranean might not be
uniformed.
From the inquiries which Ambassa-
dor Penfield has been directed 10
make the American government hopes
to sift what evidence there is for the
conclusion that the Persia was tor
pedoed. No submersible was seen but
one officer of the Persia said he saw
the wake of a torpedo.
After conferences over the teIe-
phone between the President and
Secretary Tumulty and Secretary
Lansing. it was announced at the
White House and also at Hot Springs,
Va. that the president would start
back to Washington tonight, arriving
tomorrow.
1t was stated authoritatively tina.
the destruction of the British liner
Persia with loss of American life and
the destruction of the British ship
Glengyle had put such a grave aspect
on the relations of the United States
with the Teutonic powers that the
President considered it necessary to
return to the White House at once for
conferences with Secretary Lansing
and the other members of the cabinet
to shape the course of the govern
ment.
The situation as it'eXists to-day was
described in official quarters as
paralleling the crisis which was
caused by the sinking OF the Arabic
close on Germany's assurances in re-
sponse to the representations of the
United States on the destruction of
the Lusitania.
Situation Is Grave
While American officials are keep
ing their minds open until they have
all the facts in the Persia case off,

were endangered in the sinking of the
Glengyle the gravity of the situation
is not minimized and the declaration

suit of the reorganization at noon to-
day was the dropping of Henry Hoft-
man, Halifax township, as mercantile
appraiser for 1915, and the election of
Herman Long, n justice of the peace

remove any appointee from office with
out cause. They accordingly elected
Mr.. Long to succeed Mr.. Hoffman.
The only way the question can now be
threshed out is for Mr.. Hoffman to
mandamus the commissioners into

done is questionable. although a report
was current about the Courthouse to-
day that this might be tried.

SurUiUors Drifted For
30 Hours Before Rescued
BY Associated Press

respondent of Reuters Telegram COM
pany send the following concerning
the sinking of the Persia:
Nobody aboard the Persia saw the
torpedo. The second officer is under
the impression that he saw the ripple
of it. The survivors after 80 hours in
boats were rescued by a warship. Six
officers were saved
THE liner sank so quickly that
there was no time to launch the boats.
Waves soon enveloped the deck and
swept the passengers and crew into
the sea. Colonel Bigham was standing
on the deck beside Miss Hughes. He
was suddenly swept into the sea and
sank. On coming up he bumped
against boat and was thus saved
TWO other boats which were seen to
be launched, are missing 1t is thought
there is little hope that further surviv-
ors have been rescued"

explanation would be satisfactory has
not lessened the tension.
The new fact developed to-day in
the Persia case. The American con-
sui at Alexandria reported that the
ship carried one Al inch gun but did
not state where the gun was mounted.
This may become a factor in the case.
The Hague convention, however, pro-
vides that a merchant ship may carry
gun mounted on the stern for pur-
poses of defense without being con-
sidered an armed ship.
Vessel Carried Gun
The official view here is that the
question of whether a gun was
mounted on the Persia will depend
entirely on where ii was placed. If
mounted forward officials realized
the Austrian government could con-
tend the Persia was armed for de-
struction of submarines and had in
structions to ram or destroy the sub
marines. The disposition is not To
assign the incident of the gun to a
place in consideration of the case
until all the facts are known.
Officials consider that the Austrian
submarine campaign in the Mediter-
ranean has brought on just such a
crisis as did the German submarine
campaign in the declared war zone
around the British Isles. Coming close
on the conciliatory assurances in
Austria's Ancona note, the continued
submarine activity principally around
the entrance to the Suez Canal, has
alarmed and amazed American off,
cials who have grave apprehensions
over the developments of the next
few days.
Who Sank 1t?
Secretary Lansing announced he
had instructed American Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna to ask the Aus
trian government for any information
which might establish the nationality
of the submarine which is said to have
sunk the Persia and which would de-
velop the facts in the case.
During the morning Baron Zwied-
inek, charge of the Austrian embassy
called on Secretary Lansing and ask
ed that judgment be withheld until
all the facts are known and expressed
his belief that a final explanation
would be satisfactory. He also sought
any available information for the
benefit of his government.
Baron Zwiedinek also assured
Secretary Lansing that if it were
proved that an Austrian submarine
had sunk the Persia, his government
would give full reparation and salts
