TO DISCUSS LIVING COST

President Wilson's annual address to
Congress. now nearing completion. and
upon which he has been at work at in
tervals for week. will contain no
recommendation for an embargo on
food products that are now so scarce
in this country-principally wheat
flour. beans. peas, corn, etc.
That the President will take cogni-
zance of the high cost of living in the
address or in future recommenda-
tions to Congress is believed to be GER
tain, in view of the realization on his
part that the people of the country
are becoming more and more worked
up over the problem of how to make
ends meet.
He did so recently in an address to
the National Grange in this city. urg-
ing greater production and declaring
the middleman responsible to a large
degree for the situation that now con-
fronts practically every household in

SHIP OFF FRENCH COAST
FIRED ON WITHOUT NOTICE

NEW YORK, November 21.-The Brit
ish steamship Siamese Prince, returning
in ballast after delivering a cargo of
horses at Brest for the French gov
ernment, was fired upon without warn
ing. presumably by German subma-
rine, off the French coast November 4.
according to officers of the vessel, which
arrived here today.
Three shots were fired, the officers
said, two in quick succession. which
passed over the port quarter. and a
third soon after. which dropped into
the water astern. The lifeboats were
swung out. the crew Of forty-two and
the four hostlers donned life pre-
servers and the ship put on full speed.
The craft which attacked was not
sighted at any time, owing partly to
weather conditions, and the officers of
the Siamese Prince were unable to say
whether their vessel was pursued The
hostlers included great many Ameri-
cans, it was stated.
The attack took place at z am. 200
miles at sea, while heavy sea was
running. No attempt was made to
torpedo the ship, which is owned by
Furness. Witty & Co. and which car
ried no passengers. The officers Of the
vessel judged that the attacking boat
was about mile distant.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, \. j.. November 21.
The American commissioners today
gave to the Mexican commissioners
what is understood to be the last op-
portunity for an amicable settlement
of the problems that have arisen be-
cause of Carranza's failure to provide
adequate protection for life and prop
erty along the international border.
In joint session Secretary Lane of

of the American commission. informed
Mr.. Carranzas representatives that the
American punitive expedition would be
withdrawn within a reasonable time
and under conditions that would not
impair the dignity of the American gov
ernment or leave unprotected the terri
tory just south of the border now pa
trolled by the Americans. Incident to
such withdrawal he outlined the man
ner in which the American government
was prepared to guard the long line of
frontier and to run down and punish
any marauding band that attempted
crossing into the United States. He
made it clear to the MeXicans that this
government would not tolerate any re-
striction on the pursuit of bandits by
American troops.

Safety Regarded Doubtful.

Whether even the rapid retreat fndi-
Gated has been in time to save the Ru-

ed doubtful by the German announce

The railroad running through Craiova
to Bucharest, 120 miles away, affords the
only convenient line of retirement for
the Orsova and jul valley armies.
While the RumanianS have evidently
reached the junction point of the jul
valley road with the main line at Fill

fectually bar their way eastward except

Expected to Take Action.

That the President must deal with
attempted legislation to place an en-
barge on food products before the com
ing short session of Congress ends is
generally recognized among democratic
leaders. Petitions urging an embargo
for the benefit of consumers have
reached the White House and are ex-
pected to pour in there in large num-
bers during the next few months.
Mayor Curiey of Boston is among
those heading a definite movement for
an embargo. and his views upon the
subject have reached the White House.
Democratic congressional leaders who
have arrived in Washington admit that
there is plenty of evidence that hot
fight will be made in the House. if not
in the Senate, to stop the sending
abroad of food products, when many
of these products are already far be-
low the quantity necessary to maintain
the people of this country and the ship
ment of every ton adds more to the
cost in the United States. At the same
time the leaders do not believe the
fight will be successful.

Probable Line-Up.

REPRESENTATIVES from districts con-

will line up with the city representa-

The fight for an embargo may not
reach the point that President Wilson
must make known his attitude esne-
cially if it appears, as it does now. that
advocates of such law will be in a mi
nority in Congress and unable to get
anywhere with their proposals, but the
discussion in and out of Congress NAV
bring from the President suggestions
intended to alleviate the high cost of
living, thereby placing him in the
arena on phases of the general ques-
ton.
