BY The CABINET
President Wilson Lays What Few
Facts Are Available Before
Meeting of His Off
cial Advisers.
GARRELIs SENDS AFF1DAv1Ts
Twenty-0ne Survivors Agree that
No Warning Was Given Persia
by Submarine.
NO LIGHT ON ITS IDENTITY

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE sub
marine crisis. still OF uncertain status
because OF lack of details, was placed
oy President Wilson before the cab
met today in It's first meeting since
his return from Hot Springs. Va. The
senate foreign relations committee
also met to consider the situation.
Although more than a week has
passed since the steamship Persia
was sunk in the Mediterranean with
the loss of American life, officials
today were still uniformed as to
whether the vessel was torpedoed.
and, IL so, the nationality of the sub
marine. Developments today con-
tinue to indicate that the American
government would withhold action
pending official sdvices determining
these points.
PenfieId Heard From.
ovcrnght developments included the re-
ceiDt Of dispatches from Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna. asserting that. the
Austrian government was without in
formation concerning the incident up to
the night Of Janary 4. and from Consul
Gsrrela at Alexandria, Egypt. stating that
he had obtaied affldavits from twenty
one survivors, including c. II. Grant. an
American, and that all cnfirmed previous
statements that mo warning was given
and no vessel was seen.''
ambassador Penfield's dispatch added
that Baron Burian. the Austrian for
eign minister. has asked what informa-
ton concerning the incident was in
possession OF the United states.
Officers and crew OF the Persia. Con-
sui Garrels reported. have left Alexan-
dria for England. Their affidavits will
be sought upon their arrival there.
As the cabinet assembled IL was made
plain that the members agreed with the
president that In the case OF the Persia
nothing could be done until all the facts
were at hand. Some members expressed
the opinion that II might never be
learned whether the Persia was sunk by
a submarine and n 30. what nation was
responsible.
To Guard Against Another.
Regardless of the outcome Of the Per
STA case, however. the majority OF the
cabinet members are represented as be-
lieving that the time has come for max
ing certain that no further attacks on
merchant ships carrying Americans will
be made.
The administration leaders are said to
feel that continued loss OF American lives
will lead the United States into hos
tilities.
The Persia incident was taken Up only
briefly at the cabinet meeting because
Secretary Lansing had no definite recon-
mendations to make In the absence OF
specific facts regarding the sinking OF
the ship.
One cabinet member said that the men

ing was only superficial"

The Ford Way Of
"Seeing America

A very radical change has recently
been made in the scope and character
of the motion picture service now
known nationally as the Ford Ami
mated Weekly. The current news
idea, which for nearly three years
has been the theme of Ford films,
has been abandoned, at least tempo
Irarily, for broad educational theme
which the Ford Motor Company has
already found to be universally pop
ular.
This new Ford idea is a series of
visits to all the principal cities of the
United States. So complete is the
film in each case that the audience
actually sees the life, the people, the
character, the interesting hooks and
historical sites of all American cities
IN turn. An actual tour of the coun-
try which would require months and
hundreds of dollars in railroad fare
alone could scarcely be more success
full in yisualizing the metropolitan
life of the American people.
