EXTRA SESSION
 MAY BE CALLED
 ON JUNE FIRST

WASHINGTON. D. C., May 3.-(R1 advices received here from Paris intimate that President Wilson will call an extra session of congress about June 1. It Is stated, however, that if the Paris situation develops rapidly the call may be cabled earlier.
 The information received has set the political wheels in motion here. Republican leaders are busily con. ferring on a course of procedure which they will follow in the coming session. No intimation as to their attitude on the league of nations has been given out. Democratic leaders are not making any plans. preferring to await the call before even attempt. ing an organization.
 HOME THIS MONTH. > WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 3.--lH1 According to reports received at the White House this morning President Wilson is confident that he will be able to return to the United States before the end of this month. No date has yet been set for his return. The attitude of the German delesa. tion toward the peace terms will probably determine the time of his departure from France.

SEATTLE.

DANIELS FOR
 SINKING ALL
 GERMAN BOATS

LONDON, May 3. 3.-(P-That he ts in favor of a plan which would have for it's object the sinking of the sn. tire German navy now in the hands of the allies, was the statement made to the Associated Press here today by Josephus Daniels. secretary of the navy. The secretary expresses him. self as being of the opinion that the sinking of the vessels with pro. per ceremonies would be one of tho greatest. if not the greatest, moral lessons of the war. Mir. Daniels but recently returned here from a visit to the moorings of the captured Ger. man vessels in the river Scarpe.

BODY BLOW TO OPPOSITION

The revised covenant of the league of na- !tions is apparently body blow to the republi- can senators who have been touring the coun- try speaking in opposition to the league They will either have to find some new objections to the organization or abandon their opposi- tion entirely since all their thunder has been taken away from them by the amendments contained in the final document.
 One of their main knocks was that it would i1validate the Monroe Doctrine. To meet this objection President Wilson had written and incorporated in the covenant a specific clause protecting this doctrine Again they prated about it taking away American sovereignty. Yet the revised covenant de- clares that the league shall not be concerned with national or domestic matters.
 What attitude the republican party will next assume is matter of pure speculation. It will be determined when the peace treaty is offered to the senate for ratification. But recent addresses by some of the leading re- publican senators would indicate that an ef- fort will be made to postpone the acceptance of the league of nations until 1920 and make it an issue of the Presidential campaign of that year. Senator Borah has declared that he would not approve of the project until the people of the United States have chance to express their opinion regarding it and other republican senators have made similar state ments at various times.
 A delay of this kind would be serious blow to all of Europe. The treaty of peace is constructed upon the fact that there will be a league of nations. It contains provisions which could not have been inserted under any other circumstances and these are for the benefit of all the people of the world.
 If the senate, which is republican, does hold up the acceptance by the United States of the covenant, those members responsible for such action should feel the weight of the displeasure of the American people. They will have proven that they place partisan well fare above the welfare of civilization and do not hesitate to wage personal fight even if it inflicts incalculable injury on millions of people.

THE TERRITORY'S DUTY

The reappearance of influenza at Cor dova carries with it a grave danger to the interior districts unless rigid quarantine measures are adopted to prevent unrestricted travel from Cordova and other coast points to this region. It is imperative that quar- antine be established and no precautions over looked to guard against an epidemic which might prove fatal to many people in hitherto unaffected districts.

Play Fair.

How prone we are to communicate

and what friends are so conveniently

bors? In u solace-seeking there is
no "fair play" We want to exchange
gloom for brightness, encouragement
for encouragement. We want to take
another's time just for ourselves. 1t
would indeed be a heartless world if
we had not the privilege of seeking
light, sympathy. encouragement from

who regard it a privilege will seldom

vinced that, through some strange va

more Of each other; that our life lines
were ordained to touch and become
entangled, somewhere in that mystery
Of the western world to which had
been condemned.
Then the guards came to me, and,
with my limbs freed of letters, l vas
passed down the steep ladder into the
semidarkness between decks, where
we were to be confined. It proved
dismal, crowded hole In which we were
quartered like 80 many cattle, the only
ventilation and light furnished by the
open hatch above. The ticket given
me called by number for a certain
berth. and I found this, throwing with

Immediately there was a sound of

CHAPTER ~.
The Prison Ship,

The greater portion OF that voyage
Of 50 days l would blot entirely from
memory If possible. 1 cannot hope to
describe it in any detail-the foul
smells, the discomfort, the ceaseless
horror Of food, the close companion
ship Of men turned into mere animals
by suffering and distress, the weari-
some days. the black, sleepless nights,
the poisonous air, and the brutality Of
guards. can never forget these
things, for they have SCARED my soul.
The hatch above remained open, but
carefully guarded night and day, while
We were permitted on deck for air and
exercise only in squads Of ten, two
hours out Of every twenty-four. This
alone served to break the dread mo-
notony Of the voyage. From our exer-
else on deck we generally returned be-
low drenched to the skin, but glad to
even pay that price for two hours of
fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze
about at sea and sky. We were herd
ed well forward, a rope dividing us
from the main deck, which space the
passengers aft used as a promenade.
There were only three women aboard,
fat dowager, the young lady had
noticed at embarkation. and her col
ored maid. I gained but one glimpse
Of the young lady in the first two
weeks at sea, and then only as we
were being ordered down to our quar-
tiers for the night. Just as I was ap-
preaching the hatch to descend our
eyes met fairly, and instantly knew
she saw and recognized me. For a
single second our glances chung, as

us to each other-then the angry

piece.

I saw her clasping fingers convul-

distance, marked sudden flame Of
color in her cheeks. That was all her
message to me. yet quite enough. AL
though we had never spoken, although
our names were yet unknown, l was
no criminal to her mind, no unrecog-
nized prisoner beneath contempt. but

felt personal interest, and to
whom she extended thought and SYM

Of the identity Of the young woman.
She remained in my memory, in my
thoughts nameless, a dream rather
than a reality. did learn that the
gay gallant was a wealthy Spaniard,
supposedly of high birth, by name
Sanchez, and at one time In the naval
service, and likewise ascertained that
the rotund planter was certain Roger
Fairfax Of Saint Mary's In Maryland,
homeward bound after successful
sale Of his tobacco crop in London. 1t
was during his visit to the great city
that he had met Sanchez, and his
praise Of the colonies had induced the
latter to essay voyage In his COM
pany to America. But strange enough
no one so much as mentioned the girl
in connection with either man.

CHAPTER III.
Dorothy Fairfax,


We were not far from two hundred
miles east Of the Capes. l had been
closely confined to my bunk for two
days with illness, but now, somewhat
stronger, had been ordered to deck BIZ
the surgeon. The last batch Of pris-
oners. after their short hour of recre-
alton, had been returned to the quar-
tiers below, but was permitted to re-
main alone undisturbed.
I was still standing there absorbed
when a voice. soft-spoken and femi-
nine, broke the silence.
May l speak with you?"
l turned instantly, so thoroughly
surprised my voice faltered as 1 gazed
into the upturned face Of the ques-
toner. She stood directly beside me,
her head uncovered. Instantly my cap
was off. and was bowling courteously.
''Most certainly" with a quick side
glance toward the guard, "but l am
prisoner"
"Of course know that" in smiling
confidence. "Only you see I am rather
privileged character on board. Per-
haps you may be punished if you talk
with me-is that what you meantY'
II am more than willing to assume
the risk. l have made few friends for
ward. and am even bold enough to say
that have longed for a word with
you ever since first saw you aboard"
