SITUATION AGAIN
REGARDED CRITICAL
Sinking of Steamer Persia
and Other Vessel Brings
1t to Acute Stage.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.


washington, Jan. 3.-President
Wilson has cut short his honeymoon
tonight and viii arrive here tomorrow
morning to take personal charge OF
the nations foreign affairs in the
new crisis caused by the sinking OF
the British steamer Persia with the
loss Of at least one American life
The situation Is regarded in official
? circles as the most serious since Ger
many and Austria began their sub
marine operations
The United States will take no steps
until It is established that the subma-
Fine sank the Persia without warning
and every effort is being made to es-
tablish the fact. Ambassador Penfeld
has been requested to informally ask
Austria.
In the meantime Wilson is expected
to discuss the question with the
cabinet tomorrow and the question
probably viii come up in congress,
which convenes tomorrow.
Great Britain's interference with
neutral commerce also probably viii
be debated in congress. Wilson may
discuss the foreign situation with
members of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee.
The United States has received in
dfcations from an unrevealed source
that none but Austrian submarines
are operating in the Mediterranean
where the Persia sank, and today one
source of qualification found IN the
situation was the statement by the
Austrian charge, Baron Won Zwiedin-
elk, that If an Austrian submarine had
violated the principles of international
law and the rules of humanity Austria
will quickly take action, which would
satisfy the United States.
1t was also announced today that
the Persia carried At inch gun, but
whether It was mounted on the stern
as allowed by The Hague convention
or on the prov, which is violation of
international law is not known. Of
ficials are investigating this and also
the possibilities that floating mine
sank the Persia.
Lansing also let it be known today
that Germany has finally abandoned
the contention that the Lusitania was
an armed vessel.

There are about 100 survivors.
The Glengyle was one of the larg-

She was 500 feet long, 81 feet beam
and "a feet deep. Her master was
Captain Webster.
The Glengyle had on board about
120 persons, passengers and crew. All
