WILSON WILL
ASK ADDITIONAL
AUTHORITY
Believes Congress Will Act as
Unit in Case Of Emergency
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 21.-President
Wilson has practically decided to ap-
pear before congress prior to an ad-
journment March 4 to ask for addi-
tional authority to protect American
seamen and ships against the German
submarine menace.
While officials say today there was
a bare chance that he will not carry
out the plan, there was every indica-
tion that he would make his address
either late this week or early next
week.
The presidents position as outlined
authoritatively today, was that con-
gress before adjourning should pass
a broad resolution giving him addi-
tional authority. He has definitely
decided what he will say to congress,
but that has not been made public.
Officials generally expect that sooner
or later arms will be furnished to
American ships.
In spite of the statement of the
British government that very small
percentage of the ships going to and
from the war zone were sunk by Ger
man submarines, officials pointed out
today that most American vessels in
transatlantic trade were still held
up.
It was emphasized today that
when the president appears before
congress he will not do SO for the
purpose of asking for declaration Of
war. While it is realized that the
pacifist element in congress has some
strength, the president is known to
believe the situation is such that
when action is needed there will be
little division.
The president has decided not to
call an extra session of congress un-
less there should be an unusual emer-
gency and it was generally accepted
today thAt he will not call the senate
in special session after March 4.

TENEMENT WOMEN
HOLD GIANT
MASS MEETING
Will Parade All Day Through
Wall Street. Send Appeal
to President.
{By the Associated Press1

New York, Feb. 21.-The women
of the New York tenaments have TAX
en- the food situation in their own
hands and plan series of public
demonstrations to convince the mayor
and other city officials that some
thing must be done to reduce prices.
One of the widest protest meetings
the city has ever known broke up
early today after making arrange
ments for a great parade of women
and children to march all day
through Wall Street and at night
through Fifth avenue.
An appeal was sent to President
Wilson and a committee was ap-
pointed to demand a city appropria-
tion of one million dollars to use i'm
mediately for buying and distributing
food among the poor at cost. Impas-
stoned speakers called upon the poor
of the East Side to organize and
pledge the financial support of the
Hebrew Trades Union. The capital
lists we're blamed for the high cost Of
foodstuffs on the ground that they
were amassing wealth by sending
food to Europe. Il
Mass meetings and demonstrations
continued today. The police were on
the alert to prevent fresh outbreak
of rioting such as put many pushcart
venders out of business on Monday
and Tuesday. Mayor Mitchell, who
was absent when several hundred
women tried to force their way into
his Office yesterday, promised to re-
ceive committee today, if it came
quietly. ..i .r.
A thousand or more women attend
ed last nights mass meeting and at
least 500 more tried to get into the
hall. Hours elapsed before order
was secured enough for the trans
action of business. The appeal to
the president was carried with a
shout.
A movement has been started to
call strike of school children living
in the tenements on the ground that
the high cost of living makes it neces-
sary for all children old enough to
60 to work.
