U-Boat Risk
By associated Press

New York. March S.-If she can
get a crew the 14,oOO-ton freighter
Manchuria, of the Atlantic Transport
line, will sail for London to-day, un-
armed. The Manchuria is the first
vessel under the American flag to load
mails for prohibited port since the
American line cancelled sailings on
February 3.
The crew struck yesterday for a rs
per cent. war bonus. The company
had already granted fifty per cent. and
declined to give any more on the
ground that a further increase would
be unfair to the men who had sailed
two weeks ago on the Mongolia, sat
isfed with fifty per cent. bonus OFF,
GERS OF the company said they expect
ed the men would come to terms or
they could get a new crew in time to
send the vessel out before sunset.
The French liner Rochambeau
reached here this morning from Bor-
deaux, and the White Star liner Bal
tic, from Liverpool, with passengers
and mails, got in last night. The Bal
tic left Liverpool February 22 but, re-
mained anchored in the river Mersey
for three and a half days while de-
stroyers and patrol boats searched the
Irish sea for submarines and mines.

request from the custodian of public

Washington, March S.-The cloture

Senator Martin, majority leader, in

EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS NOW CERTAIN
Not Clear Yet Whether Ad-
ministration Will Decide
to Arm Vessels as Aux
iliary Naval Craft or Pro-
vide Conveys of American
Men of War
BY Associated Press

Washington. March S.-Indications
accumulated to-day that President
Wilson is likely to act at any time
in the situation caused by Germanys
announcement of ruthless submarine
warfare. Although the President was
kept in bed by a cold, it was said
he was still considering the subject.
1t was not made clear, however,
whether he will decide to arm the ves-
sells, convoy them, have them taken
over by the government so they might
be armed as auxiliary naval craft, or
to call n sHecial session of Congress to
take up anew the armed neutrality
bill
In some administration quarters it
was believed the President is certain
to act this week, but other officials
took the position that he would wait
until the Senate has had an opportu-
nifty to revise it's rules.
Mr.. Wilson has been advised that
he has sufficient power to arm Ameri-
can merchantmen without waiting for
Congress, and some officials believe he
will act on this advice forthwith.
Many Want Extra Session
On the other hand. a strong senti-
ment undoubtedly exists in the ad-
ministration for the President to take
action along the line of calling an ex-
ira session of Congress to meet in the
very near future.
Reports iven to the President agree
that the Senate rules will be revised
quickly so that If an extra session
of Congress is called it would be pos
-sible to get prompt action an an arm
ed neutrality resolution.
Inasmuch as there is general
agreement that an extra session is nee
essary some time before July l. be-
cause of the failure of important ap-
preparation bills during the last ses-
sion, a disposition was apparent to-
day among officials - advise Mr.. VIII
son to call an extra session at once
and get it over with.
Members i'm Washington
More than a hundred members of
the House of representatives from
the middle and far west still are in
Washington awaiting announcement
by the President as to whether he ex-
poets to Gil an extra session of Con-
gress soon. They feel that If they
start for home they may be intercept
ed on the way by an extra session call
and have to return imm ediately.
