President Roosevelt, on his way

decided today to lengthen ma
terially his broadcast to the
world set for tomorrow night,
at the same time as the State
Department here announced that
the American owned freighter
SeSSa had been torpedoed and
shelled without warning. The
ship sank in two minutes.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who will begin at
9 pm. to broadcast from the White
House the message which is eX-
pected to contain a grave warning
against interference with American
shipping, will speak for 25 minutes

The presidential address comes at
time when relations between the

ried by assaults against three Amer

Stroyer Greer, fired at near Iceland
by German submarine last week.

nounced yesterday. The ship was
carrying non-military supplies to
Reykjavik, Iceland, when it was at
tackled August II 300 miles from the
Iceland coast, according to the word

Every Capital Awaits Speech.
Announcement of the sinking Of
the Sessa and the Steel Seafarer
came after the President first an
nounced his intention of making a
worldwide address, which was
postponed from Its original Sched-
uled delivery date. Monday. because
of the death of his mother, Mrs.
