accumulation Of violations of Amerl
can rights by Germany made it appea
possible today that President Wilson
would go before congress TO ask au
thorty for further protecting live
and property without waiting for {
serious disaster which might shocl

tions, however that he believed thu
time for such n step had come, and i
again was stated authoritatiVely tha
he would move deliberately and witt
full appreciation of all the conse'
quences involved.

the American schooner Lyman M
Law in the Mediterranean by an Aus
trlan submarine added only slightly tC
