President Wilson Immediately took
into consideration the demands made
upon him to call a special session OF
congress without a days delay, in or
der that a formal declaration of war
might be passed, bu in the last OBJ
tainable statement from the White
House last night it was said that the
president had not as yet definitely de-
cided to issue the call.
1t is believed that the next move to
be made by the president will be to
issue orders to the navy department
to despatch American warships into
the war zone, to clear the lanes for
American traffic and to seek out and
destroy the hostile submarines.
Officials here advance the opinion
and have so informed the president,
that he is empowered under the con-
stitution to issue a declaration of war
himself, pending the assembling OF
congress, but there is no indication
that the president will follow such a
course.
The unwarned attack upon the City
Of Memphis was made at point 81
miles south of the Fastnet Light, off
the south coast of Ireland, in the same
general locality in which the Lusitania
was torpedoed and sunk This steam

Company, was bound from Savannah,
Ga, for London. She was a small
freighter OF 1851 tons. She was skip

lieved to be Americans, each member
