WILSON TO ACT SOON.

WlISON ID RCI SOON.
 Many responsible officials have concluded that unless there is a prompt and decided change in the general attitude of Germany to- ward the interests Of the United States the appearance of President Wilson before congress to ask au- thority to afford protection to American lives and property IS only a matter of days.
 SITUATION MORE CRAVE.
 Any doubt as to the ruthless character of the new submarine campaign and it's violations of neutral rights long since has dis appeared, and the situation is made more and more grave daily by aegravating incidents.
 Even if the President delays qo- ing to congress longer than it is believed in most quarters he will for the present session comes to an end in less than three weeks, it is regarded as inevitable that he will deliver another address on German-American relations before congress adjourns.
 The President paid another visit today to the state. war and navy departments, but it was explained that this did not fcreshadow any immediate important develop ments.

 Upon finding the bodies, Spills bury sent enc of his searchers- tIement of Alamo Hueco tc notify the military outpost there, which hurried to the scene.
 The three cowboys had been out only a few days, rounding up stray American cattle along the boundary, when they ran into the raiders. Peterson was the eldest. He was 3S years old, with a wife and seven children. Jensen, 32. was also married with two chil- dren. Accord was only p years old.
 Encounter is Mystery
 The circumstances Of the encounter have not yet been established. The six Mexicans on the ranch left with the bandits. The room they occupied showed signs of an encounter, being ransacked and overturned. Other facts established were that a friend of the murdered men reported seeing the band cross just after patrol from the 12th Cavalry had gone by and that a negro from Ojitos, Mexico arrived with an account of meeting the bandits who were under Pruden cio Miranda. and learning from them that they had killed three American cowboys, as they said in fight

been marked up each year on the same
side OF the ledger. but Wesleyan follow

tice today was most encouraging. being
perhaps the best that has been held on
