Mr.. Wilson Has Virtually De-
cided to Make Personal Appeal
for Power to Protect American
seamen and Steamships.
SHIPS TO BE FURNISHED

General Retieence on the Austrian
Situation Is Observed. but It Is
Generally Agreed That Break
Is Inevitable.


by Associated Peas
Washington. Feb. 81. - Presi-
dent Wilson has virtually decided
TO appear before congress prior to
adjournment March 4, 10 ask for
additional authority to protect
American seamen and ships
against the German submarine
menace.
While officials said today there
was bare chance that he will not
carry out the plan, there was ev-
cry indication that he would make
his address either late this week
or early next.
Officials generally expect that
sooner or later arms will he fur
nished to American ships.
in spite of the statement Of the
British government that n very
small percentage of vessels going
TO and from the war zone were
being sunk by German subma-
rines, officials pointed out today
that most American vessels in the
transatlantic trade were still be-
ing held up.
II was emphasized today that
when the president appears before
congress he will not do so with
the purpose Of asking for decis-
ion of war. While il is realized
that the pacifist element in con.
gress has some strength, the pres
idcnt is known TO believe that the
situation is such that when action
is needed there will be little
division.
The president has decided not
10 call IN extra session of con
gress unless there should be an
unusual emergency and il was
generally accepted today that he
will not call the senate in special
session after March L.
While general reticence on the
Austrian situation was observed,
il was generally agreed that a
break is inevitable.
