Congress Reassembles To- day inMidst of Diplomatic
 Tension With Austria
!! GENERAL FEELING
 OF UNEASINESS
Senator Stone and Secretary Lansing to Confer With President Before the Foreign Relations Com
 mittee Meets

Washington, January 3.-Congress reassembles tomorrow in the midst of an international situation which rival political leaders admitted tonight was one of the most critical that has con- fronted the nation. Returning members talked of little but consequences that might result from the sinking of the British steamer Persia in the Medi- terranean with loss of American life and the strained diplomatic relations between the United States and Aus tria.
 Although administration leaders were uniformly inclined to await pos itive information. there was a gen. eral feeling of uneasiness among sen ators and representatives over the gravity of foreign affairs

gravity of foreign affairs.
TO SEE THE PRESIDENT

oChdtOi tolOhC SIdli lldh Ol tiit otI- ate foreign relations committee. con- ferred with Secretary Lansing at the state department and will seek a con- ference with President Wilson before the committee meets Wednesday to begin consideration of matters per taining to the diplomatic affairs of the nation. It seems assured that the committee will take up the resolution submitted by Senator Hoke Smith, calling for an inquiry into Great Brit aims interference with neutral com merce' and the amendment by Senator Lodge to investigate destruction of the Lusitania and other acts by belliger- ents resulting in destruction of Amer ican lives.
 Of course we must consider those resolutions,Y said Senator Stone to- night. They are on the calendar and must be disposed of. l do not know the sentiment of the committee, but I see no objection to Congress having all information called for in the reso- lution of Senator Smith Or in the smcigdment by Senator Lodge.
 T talked to Secretary Lansing about the sinking of the Persia, but We can do nothing with that until we get all the facts
 Senator Stone also discussed with MT. Lansing the long pending Nic- uraguan and Colombian treaties, con cerning which there still is persistent opposition by some senators, including republican members of the foreign re- lations committee. The Missouri sen ator wants these treaties disposed of one way or another. If it is apparent that the opposition is overwhelming it is proposed to discover this as soon as possible so that further time may their ratification.
 OPPOSE MINISTER TO MEXICO
 Another subject of discussion was the nomination of Henry P. Fletcher to be ambassador to Mexico. Senator Borah, a member of the committee, will strenuously oppose MT. Fletcher's confirmation on the ground that no am bassador to Mexico should be named by the United States until conditions in the southern republic are more settled.
 Although foreign affairs overshadow everything else in interest for she mos ment, activity over national prepared ness will begin at once. Hearings will be held tomorrow before the House naval affairs committee on the annual appropriation bill, the first subject to be taken up being that of yards and docks, including the project for a big drydock at Norfolk, Va. The Senate na- val committee will meet to consider Senator Tillman's bill for erection of a government armor plate factory Thursday the House committee on mil itary affairs will meet and Secretary Garrison will appear to explain his plan for reorganization of the army.
 Other legislation ready for consid eration includes the water power and mineral land leasing pills and the farm loan bank bill. The joint committee on rural credits completed the farm loan bill tonight and the measure prob ably will be reported to both Houses tomorrow. Consideration of the water power bill may begin in the House Wednesday.

TWO POWER NAVY IN
 NEXT TEN YEARS IS
 STRATEGISTS' IDEA
This Country Given Until 1925 Before Europe Looks CovetOusly to New World. Words of Wilson and Lansing Significant

Washington, January 3.--Possibiiity of a combined attack by two foreign powers to break down the new PHn- American doctrine evolved from main tenance by the United States and ac- ccptance by south and Central Ameri- can republics of the Monroe doctrine. is one of the fundamental bases for the national defense plans formulated by army and navy strategists. They believe it essential in the formulation Of national military policy, 1t was learned tonight, to provide against the eyentuaIity of an assault upon the doc- Urine by either an Asiatic or an Eu- ropean power, or even by m alliance ok two such powers, which might huri forces simultaneously at the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
 A navy equal in strength to those Of any two world powers except Great Britain and an army prepared to fight for the in tegrity of the Pan-American idea any where in Pan-America is the ultimate aim of the plans of the military experts.
