 No stenographer was present during the presidents speech, and it's text was not made public. The luncheon was given in honor of Vance c. Me Cormick, chairman of the democra tic national committee, and the other members who assisted in Mir. Wilson's reelection.
 At meeting of the committee to- day q movement was started for bring ing about an uniform hour for the closing of election polls in all parts of the country. the claim was made that in the last election republican vic tories in the east Were reported to western states before the closing of the polls and that as q result many democrats gave up hope and did not vote.
 Plans for the next congressional and presidential elections were discussed. Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the committees woman's bureau, told how ten of the twelve suffrage states were carried for Wilson.
 Chairman Mccormick announced the appointment of the following execu- tive committee: Homer $ Cummings, Connecticut; IsadOre E. Dockweiler California; Carter Glass, Virginia; Cordeli Hull.

 Although in substance the long communication upholds and defends the unrestricted warfare waged by Germany. it is couched in most friendly terms and points out that Austrian submarines are operating only in the Adriatic and the Mediter- ranean. and therefore an encroach- ment on American. interests hardly is to be feared There will be a reply to this note and unless an overt act precipitates the rupture. waich both sides apparently earn estly seek to avoid, tie United States probably will not be inclined to force the issue for the present.
 The truth Is that Germany is credited here with trying to force Austria to take a step which that country does not wish to take. Ger many wishes. i' is pointed out. to have the complete moral support of her allies to the submarine campaign and Is using her great influence with Austria to that end.
 Austria. therefore, is placed in the delicate position of either sacrificing the manifest benefits she receives from the continuance of diplomatic relations with this country or Of ap- bearing not fully tc support her aliv As result 1t is believed that she has made her reply 10 this country as strong an endorsement of Germanv's position az possible without at the same time making # impossible for the United States to continue the negotiations.

EXTRA SESSION BY JUNE SEEMS
 NOW ASSURED
[Republiean A. P. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON. March 6.-An extra session of congress not later than June now is generally conceded among of ficials here to be assured.
 Although President Wilson has not given any definite indication that he has finally abandoned his hope that an extra session might be avoided, there is an almost unanimous sentiment among senators, representatives and officials of the executive departments that one must be called. They declare that even if the international situation does not demand it. congress must come back to complete it's legislation program and fill up gaps in the gov ernment's financial scheme caused by failure of some of the more important appropriation measures.
 So certain are many members of congress on this point that they are speculating only on the probale date of the session. The general expecta- ton among them, said to be based on word passed out by officials close to the president is that the end of May or some time in Jpune would be se lected for converting the new con- gress
 The progress made by senators to- day toward carrying out the presi- dents recommendation for a rule linn iting senate debate generally. was re- garded as strengthening the likelihood of a special session within a few weeks.

 EL PASO, March 6.-Revolutions in Mexico and the cutting Jp of the ranges in the United States into small farms have been large factors in the curtailrnent of the production of meat products and Mexico mav be the main source in the future for meat, President Abner T. Wilson of the Panhandle and Southwestern Stock mems association declared in his ad- dress to the members of the associa- tiOn when the convention opened here today.
 Statistics show there are approxi- mately IS million fewer cattle in the United States than there were seven years ago and this in the face of an increase of population of 10000. 900 people" President Wilson said. With the range country of the United States being cut np into farms it may be that to Mexico the meat eating public of the northern half of the western hemisphere must turn for their food supplies" he continued. The livestock industry in that un- happy country is in a deplorable condition as a result Of internecine strife. Great herds which once fed on the rich ranges of that country have either been annihilated or have been degraded through lnDreedlng and lack of care. Those members of the as- sociation whose ranges lie in Mexico have had to he content with the fright full conditions there. It is very patent something must be done to save the cattle industry of Mexico
 The president or the association called the attention to the resolution adopted at the Cheyenne meeting of the American National Livestock as- sociation calling upon the United States for protection for American cattlemen in Mexico and asked for a

 w WASHINGTON, March 6.-Presi- dent Wilson expressed, in forceful Ian guage, his disappointment over the senate's failure to pass his armed neu- trality bill, and discussed at length his conception of the underlying basis of permanent peace, in an informal talk today at q White House luncheon to the members of the democratic nation al committee.
 The president declared he was mad over the attitude of the little group of senators who held up the armed neutrality bill, and indicated that he hoped for better results if he tried again to secure it's passage The present he said, is no time for parti- san or factional considerations in in- ternational affairs. because the need that America prove united in efforts to safeguard it's interests is imperative. He decried bitterness in public dis cussions of the situation.
 The underlying principles of democ- racy were declared by Mir Wilson as the only principles on which govern ment can endure and on which per fanent world peace can he main tained He said the consent Of the governed must be behind govern ments.
 The president referred to the condi- ton of Alsace- Lorraine as typical of causes of war which must be avoided if permanent peace is achieved. Re iterating his hope that the United States will play part in building up a structure for the maintenance of permanent peace after the present war,

He declared that the reNoiu'ionlsts Tn Oriente province either will have to surrender ar he driven into the sea.
 Since the news reached Cuba of the German plan 10 embroil Meico and Japan with the United States much interest has been taken in the stories or German intrigue in Cuba with the oDJect or foHenting rebellion. Before the text of the Zimmermann note was made public. little credence was placed in such stories, but the Cuban public generally now is becoming more in clined to this view.
 Two Germans have been arrested thus far in Cuba, one of them known to be close friend of ex- President Gomez. one of the leaders in the rev olution. The other is held on suspi- cion of being spy; he is alleged to have been caught in the act of mak- ing drawings of the coast near Pinar del Rio.
 According to Fl Mundo a nnmber of American detectives are in Havana working in harmony with Cuban de- tectives with the object of ascertaining if there exists here a branch of an or ganization known under the name of the iron cross, which is alleged to be perfectly organized in Mexico, hay ing for it's purpose the spreading of anti American propaganda in Latin American countries.
 Members of the association, says Fl Mundo. are distinguished by an iron finger ring on which is an iron cross.

APPAM GIVEN TO OWNERS BY
 COURT ORDER
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, March 6-In a unan- imous opinion the supreme court today decreed restoration to her English own CTS of the liner Appam ana cargo. brought into Hampton Roads more than a year ago by prize crew from the German raider MOewe. Ship and cargo. valued at between three and four million dollars must be delivered within 30 days as the courts order is final.
 The decision written by Justice Day affirms decrees by Federal Judge Wad- dill of Virginia, and upholds the orig inal ruling by Secretary Lansing that prizes coming to American ports un- accompanied by captor warships have the right to remain only long enough 10 make themselves seaworthy
 American neutrality was violated in bringing the Appam into Hampton Roads, the court says. and neither the ancient treaties relied upon by Lieuten- ant Berg, the German prize comman- der, The Hague conventions, nor the declaration of London entities any bel hgerents to make American ports place for deposit of prizes as spells of war under such circumstances
 The principles of international law" the opinion adds, leaving the treaty aside. will not permit the ports Of the United States Co be thus used by the belligerents. If such use were per mitted. it would constitute the ports of a neutral nation harbOrs of safety into which prizes might be safely brought and indefinitely kept.
 From the beginning of its history this country has been careful to main tain a neutral position between war ring governments. and not to allow use of it's ports in violation of the obliga- tions of neutrality. nor to permit such use beyond the necessities arising from the periis of the seas. or the necessities of such vessels as to seaworthiness provisions and supplies.

The statute was passed specifically to allow American merchantmen to fight pirates and privateers, and of fieials contend that the exemption in this connection of "a public armed vessel of a nation in amity with the United States" does not prevent a peaceful merchantmen from resisting an attack in violation of international law.

 WASHINGTON, March 6.-Bi-par- tisan organization of the incoming house. with Champ Clark as speaker. and the committee memberships and patronage equally divided. is being dis cussed by democratic and republican members us possibility in the event the five independent members hold up public business in the next session by attempting to dictate how the house shall be organized.
 The independents thus far have de- clined to align themselves with either of the big parties and have held sev- eral secret caucuses. If they vote as a unit. as 1t now appears they may, they can delay business in the house just as long as party lines are main tained At best neither democrats nor republicans will have more than 2l5 party members, and 2lS are required to elect a speaker, except by special agreement.
 In case of a deadlock. many demo- crats and republicans believe 1t would be their patriotic duty in the face of an international crisis to break down party lines regardless of political for tunes. The desire of the house to keep it's record clear of any charge of tying President Wilson's hands as the sen ate did is expected to play a big part in converting members to the bi-parti- san proposal. It is a house boast that large majority of it's membership all ways has stood behind the president in the many crisis of the last three years. Virtually every leader of importance on either side has been sounded for his views on the -partisanship plan, and no vigorous opponent of it as a last resort has been found. Republican Leader Mann is quoted as saying re- gently at a dinner to retiring New York members of the house that he had rather see -partisanship organi- | zation of the house than to see 1t con trolled by small band of 'filibus- | terers."
