OVERT ACT EVER FEARED Mr. 'Wilson May Request Broad Res olution, Empowering Illm to Act Snort of War Situation Wltli Germany's Allies Better, WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. The advis ability or going before Congress before the end of the present session March 4 to make certain that ne be clothed with sufficient power to protect American lives and property from German sub marine activities was dlBcussed by President Wilson today with members of the Senate whom he called Into con ference during: a brief visit to the Capitol. - Afterwards It was Indicated that the President had not made up his mind on the question, but had such a step under consideration because of the pos sibility that after adjournment some sudden emergency might arise necessitating- action before Congress could, be called together agalni Fnrtker Power May Be Given. The suggestion was made that Con gress might be asked to adopt a broad resolution authorizing the President to take any necessary measures for the protection of American rights and avoiding specific, stipulations as to how the protection should be afforded. 11 was Indicated that Mr. Wilson remained as anxious as ever to avoid war and that he gave no suggestion that a dec laration of war, which Congress alone can make, is even considered by him at present in connection with the possi bility of a request for additional au thority. The general feeling here had been that Germany's submarine campaign sooner or later will lead Inevitably to such a violation of American rights as will require the further action forecast by the President in his address to Con gress two weeks ago. The President is understood to feel, however, that when the time comes the solution out lined in that address should be fol lowed out literally, and the steps taken should constitute an extension of fur ther protection to American Interests rather than a declaration of war. Submarine Issue la Uppermost. urnciais were much gratified at a message from Berne today saying the American consuls remaining in Ger many, for whom some concern had been felt, would depart early next week, but there was no evidence that the devel opment would lessen to an apprecia ble degree the tension between the two countries. It has been pointed out that the overshadowing issue is the Geiman submarine campaign and that any oth er controversy must be considered as of minor consequence. There also was much gratification here over a report frorm Ambassador Elkus at Constantinople saying that Turkey was arranging to facilitate the departure of the several hundred' Amer ican refugees at Beirut. Officials re garded the news as an Indication that the Ottoman government was disposed . not to break with the United States if it could be avoided. There were no de velopments during the day In the sit uation with Austria, but some officials now are hopeful that the break with Germany will not be extended to any of her allies. Holding: of Vessels Serious. President Wilson's visit to the Cap itol is understood to have been pri marily for the purpose of discussing with Senators the legislative pro gramme and to urge passage of vari ous Administration bills during the re maining two weeks of the session. With most of the Senators seen he did not talk of the foreign situation and the impression gained ground among- some or tnem that he did not consider the the Americans at Beirut. It said the two American relief ships Caesar and Des Moines, which have been lying at Alexandria for a long time, would have an opportunity to proceed at once to Syria and not only distribute their food supplies, but bear away the Ameri can refugees. To facilitate the relief work the Turkish authorities also have volun tarily reduced the period which has been prescribed as the length of quar antine for outgoing Americans. Some consideration will be" given to the subject, however, before orders are dispatched to the Caesar and Des Moines to proceed to Syrian ports. It is not entirely clear here how the ships would fare in the blockaded zone, which the German decree extended along the Syrian coast. CONSULS DUE AT BERXE 2 0TH M Many American Residents In Ger many to Accompany Party. BERNE, via Paris. Feb. 17. The American legation reecived notice to day that the American Consuls who were left in Germany when Ambassa dor Gerard departed will arrive in Switzerland, via Schailhausen, Tuesday afternoon. It is expected that a large number of American residents In Ger many will arrive with them. The American Cons lis were left be hind either because the Ambassador was unable to communicate with theru or because they needed more time in which to settle up their affairs. Tho other Americans were unable to have their passports vised In time to loavu with, the Ambassador. CONSULS MAT BE DELATED Berlin Said to Have Failed to Ar range Special Train. LONDON, Feb. 17. The United States Consuls who are still in Germany may be unable to leave the empire for some weeks, according to an Amsterdam dls patch to the Times, quoting an Ameri can who has arrived there from Ger many. This Informant said that at the time he left Berlin, the government had not arranged for .the special train which it had promised lor toe use of the Con suls, and that it was thought some weeks would elapse before the arrange ments could be made. SIX STEAMSHIPS SAIL BIG LINER NOORDAM . DEPARTS FROM NEW YORK. None of Vessel Conveying Passengers, So Far As Can Be Learned I Britisher Tarns Back. NEW YORK, Feb. 17. Six steamships called from here for European ports today. Including the big Holland-Amer ica liner Noordam. None of. them, as far as could be learned, carried passen gers. The British steamship Verdi started for Liverpool, but turned back and anchored off quarantine after pro ceeding as far as Sandy Hook. No ex planation was forthcoming as to the reason for the Verdi's return. Besides the Noordam the vessels that put to sea today with freight cargoes were the British steamer Roman Prince, the Dutch steamer Texel, the Spanish steamers Mar Negro and -Mouro, and the Swedish steamer Pelslnghorg. It was announced that the Noordam. bound for Rotterdam, would put Into Halifax instead of' Kirkwall for ex amination by the British authorities, but whether any of the other vessels would follow the same course could not be ascertained. - BRITISH ADVANCE Oil ANGRE AflD TIGRIS Important Gains Made on Both Sides of River on the French Front. 1000-YARD DEPTH IS WON held a meeting at Irish Bend this week. Professor Larson, of the Oregon Agri cultural College, a specialist in pota toes for the extension department, was a speaker. E. C. Morrison, of Springfield, a prom inent potato grower and shipper, was also . present, and gave much advice. He stated that parties are offering $25 an acre rent for good potato land this season, and that companies in Califor nia are ofCerinir to contract for all the White Rose seed potatoes raised in this valley.

Failure of Original Measure to Pass Would Be National Calamity, Says Commerce Committee Chairman. WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. Asserting that It will be a National calamity if the pending $39,000,000 livers and har bors bill fails of passage. Senator Fletcher, chairman of the commerce emergency any more immediate than i committee, issued a statement today at- no uiu several nays ago. it is Known, tac.kini on the other hand, that the continued holding of many vessels in port has come to be looked upon here as a con dition for which some remedy must be found. If the President decides to go before Congress again before the end of the present session he is expected to point to this condition of chipping. Chair man Simmons, of the Senate finance committee, was one of the Senators who talked with the President today and as a result it is understood that in case Congressional action is found ad visable a provision for necessary ex penditures will also be made. . Training; Discussion Probable. Just before going to the Capitol the President paid a brief visit to Secre tary Baker at the War Department, and while it was thought possible they dis cussed universal military training, the Secretary would make no statement. The report from Berne regarding the departure of the Americans in Germany said they probably would leave for Switzerland Tuesday. The exact date for the departure had not been set, the message said, but Consuls coming from that direction have been ordered to proceed from Munich. It Is expected that a large number of Americans left in Germany will leave with the Consuls, State Department officials charac terized as very friendly the communi cation from Constantinople concerning ig the plan of Senator Kenyon and others to substitute a lump appropria tion of $25,000,000, to be expended in discretion of the Secretary of War and Army engineers. Senator Fletcher eatd adoption of the substitute would mean that now, when our rivers are sorely needed to supple ment the carrying power of our rail roads and when inland waterways along the coast would serve such highly useful functions as defense of the coast would call for, we are to abandon this work under a policy of the Gov ernment which has been proceeding for hall a century.
