 May Arm ships Without Spec&Al POsser
 Indications accumulated today thae President Wilson Is likely to act at any time in the situation caused by Germany's announcement of ruthless submarine warfare. Although the president was kept in bed by a cold, 1t was said he was still considering the subject. Whether the president will act this week or wait until tho senate has had an opportunity to re- wise It's rules Is a matter of conjecture.
 MT. Wilson has been adviSed that he has sufficient power to arm Amer ican merchant men without waiting for action by congress and some olli- cials believe he will act on this ad- vice forthwith. ssSsg sg @ x On the other hand, strong senti- ment undoubtedly exists In the ad- for the president to take action along the line of calling an ex- tra session of congress to meet in the very near future.
