BRITAIN FACES SUBMARINE WAR WITH CONFIDENCE

London, To-day.

WHILE THERE IS as yet no definite indication of the Ger- man Government's decision as to how submarine war- fare is to develop, the sinking of the Athenia might seem to suggest that Germany has decided to begin a campaign of unrestricted sinking at sight, not only in defiance of international law but in direct violation of the specific undertakings into which she solemnly en- tered in 1936.

Washington, To-day. President Roosevelt has called a special session of Congress for noon on September 21.

Summoning Congress is the fulfil- ment of the President's promise that following the outbreak of war, steps would be taken to repeal the same embargo provisions of the Neutrality Law-Reuter.

Washington, To-day. President Roosevelt's decision to re- call Congress followed an investiga- tion into the attitude of every indivi- dual Congressman, the result of which apparently convinced the Pre- sident that he would have a good majority in the House for repeal of the arms embargo and a more than
