MEMBERS EAGER
FOR EARLY SESSION
Senators and Congressman Be-
Iieve Wilson Should Prompt
Iy Issue Call.

News of the sinking OF three Amer
lean ships in rapid succession by
German submarines has profoundly
disturbed Congress. Many members
of the Senate and House are in the
city, anu the effect OF the news of the
sinkings on them has been drive
from their minds nearly every vestigo
of hope that war with Germany can
be averted.
The recent sinking, OF the Algon-
quin was widely looked on as symp-
tomato that Germany intended to
drive ahead in her submarine war
with reckless disregard of conse-
quences and ruthless disregard OF the
property rights and lives of neutrals.
Now, the trio of blows at American
shipping has sccentuated this feeling
among r-5ers of Congress that the
Berlin policy Will not be changed and
that America might as well quit
tclinging to the hope of peace and
strip for action.
Would Have Full Backing.
Strong talR to the effect that Presi-
dent Wilson ought not TO wait until
April 16, but ought to call Congress
at once in extra session, is heard.
Although the President has called
the extra session for April 16, there
is nothing to prevent him issuing
new call for an earlier date. He can,
il need be, call Congress together i'm
mediately, allowing only for time for
members to hasten by train to Wash.
ington. This last requirement is SIM
ply one of practicability and the CON-
venience of members.
In view of the developments, there
is little question but that the Presi-
dent would be backeN up to the limit
by united Congress. The conviction
that Congress would have little hest
tation, as things now stand. in de-
claring war, was noticeable on every
hand today.
Railroad Settlement Is Relief.
Sinking of American vessels, grave
as it is, is viewed as OF no greater
importance in Congress circles than.
the settlement of the railroad eontro,
versy. The feeling is evident on all
hands that il war must come It can
be faced with comparative equanim-
ity If the transportation of the nation
is safe and there is no tie-up of in
dustries.
Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the
strongest Of the Republican leaders,
declared that If the situation is as
1t appears, Congress ought to be call
ed IN extra session within q week
He said. nothing can be done until
Congress assemblies except to go foY-
ward with the arming> of ships.
IF were the President, I would
at once summon Congress back TO
Washington, and ask it to declare
war against Germany" said Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts,. "If the
sinking of three American vessels is
not an overt act I don't know what
you would call it."
MeCumber Is Emphatic.
Several Senators and House mem
bers called attention to the fact two
of the vessels sunk were not headed
for Europe at all, but were coming
toward America in ballast, and that
this aggravated the offense.
THE sinking of these American
vessels with their attendant loss OF
American lives is an act of war" said
Senator McCumber ef~North Dakota,
War has been thrust upon u.s."
declared Senator Poindexter of WASH
ington.

To7Open Bids Wednesday.
Secretary Daniels will open bids
Wednesday for several hundred. no.
foot motor boats to be used as sub
marine chasers.
Secretary Daniels announced today
he had sent specifications to 100 com
panies with facilities for manufacture
Of these boats. Each company IL ex-
pected to build several boats, which
will give the navy q mosquito fleet,
manned by reserve officers, to patrol

emergency appropriation authorized
by Congress for speeding up naval
construction. Daniels said today no
Presidential proclamation Is neces-
sary to make this mra, ey Immediately
available.
VIII Not Hesitate.
Secretary Daniels said today he
hoped Communicating of American
ship yards or construction plants will
not be necessary, but he said # any
plant equipped to do naval work re-
fuses he will not hesitate to take over
the plant for the Government.
President Wilson Is said to be
ready to proclaim a national emerg-
ency" to comply with the terms of
the naval appropriation bill and thus
legalize the Communicating OF these
plants.
The Departments attitude is this:
The country has reached a stage
where Industrial resources must be
taxed to place 1t upon q defensive
basis.
Certain munition concerns which
enjoy Government announcement"
are known to have facilities indis-
pensable TO the Governments need.
1t is their patriotic as well as their
fair play" duty to come to the as
sistance Of the Government at this
time.
Action Authorized.
A provision OF the last navy bill
authorizes the department to COM
mandeer private shipyards And mu-
milton plants in q national emergency
to be proclaimed by the President.
In connection with the criticism of
certain firms, the department today
OFFICIALLY commended the patriotism
of the Carnegie Steel Company as
worthy OF mention.
There are. however. the department
said, many other American firms
In fact, an overwhelming majority
which have responded periodically to
the Governments appeal.
In harmony with its policy of
placing credit where credit belongs,'
the department is expected shortly
to publish the names of private own

have placed their vessels at the call

The German retreat over the thir-
