WASHINGTON, April lot was ad
mitted last night that the President
has called a special cabinet meeting for
tomorrow, in order to discuss the stu
alton created by the attack on the Brit
ish Channel steamer Sussex.
It is said that President Wilson is

to convince him that the Sussex was
attacked by submarine. To date, 1t
is claimed, the state department Off
'iaIs who have had the handling of the
case, are not satisfied with the evidence
submitted.
There is no positive proof that the
wake of an underwater craft was seen
either before. or after the attack on
the steamer, and the evidence regard
ing the discovery of fragments of tor
pedo on the Sussex after the explosion,
is held to be incOnelusiye.
The administration. expects the for

be purely tentative and likely to re-
main in that stage until he arrives here
and can give his assent to the program.
Among the several American diplo-
matists who have been made conspic-
uous since the beginning of the Euro
pean war James Watson Gerard has
beyond comparison held the most try
ing position. 1t has been asserted with
some degree of reason for many years
that in these days Of instantaneous
communication foreign representatives
of the state department at Washing
ton are superf1uous and that all COM
municatiOns and negotiations could
better be carried on direct between
that department and any Of the foreign
Offices 1t is patent now that in this
crisis of affairs. in which the United
States is so intimately concerned, this
would be impossible. Ambassador
Gerard has many times been given
merely the initiative by his government
and has conducted further conferences
on some of the most delicate ques-
lions, according to his appreciation of
conditions at the court where he is the
American representative. consulting
his own judgment, and with a knowl-
edge of those conditions which could
hardly be gained at Washington.
The ambassador was born in Gene
SEQ. " Y. in 1861 and is one of the
most youthful diplomatists who ever
served the United States in times of
critical international controversy at a
foreign court. He is well equipped
lawyer and resigned as a justice of the
supreme court of New York to take
the foreign post which he is so ably
filling.
While Mr.. Gerard has been one of
the most welcomed figures in social
and club life. he has been pre-eminent-
" democratic in the broad meaning of
the word Aside from his official ac-
tivitieS Nj Gerard has held many hon
orary appointments. one of which was
that of commissioner to Mexico at the
time of the celebration of the one hun
drrdth anniversary of the declaration
Of Mexican independence.
