She registered 18,099 tons, was 600 feet long, 71 feet beam and 40 feet depth. She was built in 1911 at Newcastle.

She sailed from New York on February 18. Eight passengers who were aboard the Holland-American liner Ryndam, which returned to port to avoid danger ef the submarine menace, sailed on the Laconia.

Congress Listens in Tense Silence to President's Address. The grim faced body of senators and representatives who less than a month ago heard the President pronounce the words which announced a ers would In fact avoid has not occurred. "But while this Is happily true, It must lie admitted that there have been certain additional IndicaUnns and expressions of purpose, on the part of the German press and the German an, thoritles which have increased rather than lessened the impression that, if our ships and our people are spared, it will be because of fortunate circumstances or because the commanders of tbe German submarines, which they may happen to encounter, exercise an unexpected discretion and restraint, rather than because of tho instructions under While American ship owners have told tho Administration that they can get the gunners if the Government will either furnish the guns or assist them to gel guns from manufacturers, It Is obvious that tbe President has in mind a step further than this.

Some Republican Senators declared they did "not want to sign a blank check" for the Prudent and predicted a the legislation he requests, for the purpose of forcing an extra session of Congress. Those Republicans expressed a view that the President's attitude was not sufficiently definite. They would not say, however, that an extra session which they regard as Imperative, would be used to fight the legislation the President requested.

American ships Is a question in the minds of some members of Congress. Those who are for a strong policy do not think that it went far enough.

On the other hand, there is a pacifist clement which thinks the message not sufficiently specific. They want to know exactly what the President will do with the power he asks before they vote It. Yet the President was really more specific than many of his supporters believed he would be. There was a fear that he would simply ask for power. Without indicating the lines along which he proposes to employ it.

To the extent of. arming merchant ships, the President was specific, and this much was a relief to many members of Congress who during the past fortnight have become dissatisfied with the deliberate course of the Administration. The President did make a qualification of his program by inserting the phrase, "Should that become necessary," read in connection with the FATHER AND SON DIE session, were assembled before him. He spoke as follows: Text of President Wilson's Speech. "Gentlemen of the Congress I have again asked the privilege of addressing you because we are moving through critical times during which It seems to me to be my duty to keep In close touch with the Houses of Congress so that neither counsel nor action shall run at cross-purposes between us.

"On the third of February I officially Informed you of the sudden Double Funeral for William and Jeremiah McGrath. Kut-el-Amara, a strategic military position on the Tigris, River leading to Bagdad was surrendered to the Turks on April 28, 1916. after General Townshend, with a British force of some 9.000 troops, had withstood a siege since the previous December. The present offensive which resulted in the capture of the town by the British was begun on December 13 last by an advance along the Shatt-el-Hai." The Anglo-Indian forces launched a series of assaults and. succeeded in clearing the ground between the Shatt-el-Hal and the immediate defenses of Kut-el-Amara.

Two weeks ago the British forces cut the river communication with Bagdad, which is 110 miles farther up "I feel that I ought, in view of that fact, to obtain from you full and immediate assurance of the authority which I may need nt any moment to exercise. No doubt 1 already possess that authority without special warrant of law. by the plain implication of my constitutional duties and powers, but I prefer in the present circumstances not to act upon general implication.

It was heard in silence, as. indeed, was most of the message.

That it was a disappointment to the members who are for strong action against Germany was manifest. Nevertheless, it was felt that a step forward had nt least been taken by the President, even if it was not as long a step as many wanted to see him take.

There were 216 in the ship's crew, making the total of human lives on the vessel 291 persons, according to the officials of the line.

The official British communication Issued last night said that the southern portion of the Sannaiyat position captured in the first assault of the British last' Thursday consisted of two lines of trenches on a frontage of 450 yards and to a depth of ten yards. Six counter-attacks were launched by the Turks, only one of which gained temporary success.

German destroyers bombarded broadstairs and Margate early today. One woman and one child were killed, and two persons were injured. Two houses were damaged. This announcement was made in tbe House of Commons today by Sir F.dward Carson, First Lord of the Admiralty. Sir Kdward Carson said that one of four British torpedoboat destroyers on patrol duty In the English Channel last night encountered several German destroyers and a short engagement ensued.

The British destroyer was not damaged though she was under heavy gun and torpedo fire. The German vessels were lost sight of, the First Lord said, but in the darkness another force of German destroyers bombarded the undefended ports of Broadstairs and Margate. British light forces in the vicinity closed in on the German warships which only remained a short time, he added, and were gone before the ap mission to the German will. The prospect of an extra session of Congress gained strength as a result of the message. It is evident that a number of the Republican Senators are dissatisfied with the statement of the President's program, and want to know In a more definite way Just what he intends to do.

The pacifist element in the Senate, headed by La I'ollette, will undoubtedly object to granting the President power to do something which may bring on a state of war, while others of opposite view believe that Congress ought to be here after March 4 to participate in whatever measures Mr. Wilson mav decide to put into effect.

It is two miles i opinion before leaving for Albany today that there would not be sent to the Legislature tonight an emergency measure respecting the food situation In New York City. The Governor said that no request for such a measure had been sent to Albany and he intimated that he expected none. "If such a measure should be sent to me I should naturally read It first and then send It to the Legislature for action," he said. The Governor believes the situation is Improving. Asked to express an opinion regarding It, he said: "There are too many roof garden? aru) too few vegetable gardens In the City of New York.

I am convinced that the situation is not critical. Those who want to eat can have rice, fish and many other commodities at moderate prices." The Governor intimated that there was strong opposition to the Wicks bill from certain quarters and that it would be only after a hard fight that the measure would pass. He believes the public-spirited action of men who are going out into the open market and buying necessities of life and selling them to the public at no profit will have the effect of quieting much of the unrest which now prevails.
