GREATEST SESSION IN YEARS
Message From President Wilson Tell
ing Of Conditions Caused BY Ruth
less Submarine Campaign
Brings Prompt Action.

Washington.-Congress, called in ex'
traordinary session by President Will
son, convened Monday to determine
the most important issues before the
legislative representatives of the
United States since the Civil War.
Aside from the war resolution and
the appropriations which accompany
1t, there is not much legislation now
on the books that leaders believe is
necessary to enact before next win
ter. The appropriation measures which
failed at the last session, particularly
the army bill, the amendments to the
shipping act giving the government
broad powers over merchant shipping
some changes in the federal reserve
act and legislation to curb spying are
among the things which probably will
be deemed essential to prosecution Of
whatever course is determined upon.
Additional revenue legislation and
bond issues beyond the authorizations
in existence, to be carried in the war
resolution, will depend on how active
the United States becomes in the war.
Efforts are certain to be made to
put through universal military train
ing bill. There will be much opposi-
ton to it, particularly if the belief
gains currency that such legislation
would pave.the way for the sending Of
an expeditionary force 80 the European
battlefields.
The war and navy departments con-
tinue their preliminary preparedness
measures and are ready with recon
mendations for further strengthening
the army and navy will be submitted
as soon as congress decides whether
the nation is actually to go to war
with Germany.
