'CONFRONTED BY HUB PROBLEM
Says Will Maintain Stand Taken in
Sussex Incident—Submarine Com
mander States Warnings Were Dis
regarded by Steamship.
WASHINGTO ,ND. C., Nov. 13.—
President Wilson arrived this morn
ing. Thousands of people were gath
ered at the roalroad station and the
President was warmly cheered as he
stepped off the train. In an inter
view the President stated that the ru
mor of changes in the cabinet was
premature, but some changes may
take place. The first problem to be
taken up by the President was the
several submarine attacks reported.
He announced that he would adhere
firmly to the stand taken in regard
to the torpedoing of the channel liner
Essex. He held a conference with
Gerard this morning on the subject.
^ £- - i» P ..... J ,r V.
A report from Berlin states that the
commander of the submarine which
attacked the steamship Row&nmors
asserts that he warned the steamer
repeatedly, but the captain refused
to heed the signals and made an at
tempt to escape, so he was compelled
to open fire on her. The commander
of the submarine which sank the Ma
rina has not yet reported.
Berlin also reports that the Dutch
steamer Kroningen Regentes was
halted by a German submarine while
en route to London and that she
threw overboard several sacks of mall
in an attempt to conceal their con
tents. One of the sacks was recov
ered and was found to contain news
papers for the British Foreign office.

SHOULD HAVE
MOREDELEGATES
One of the flrst things that should
be provided for Alaska by Congress
is more Delegates to Congress. Pend
ing the inevitable time when Alaska
must be divided into two or three or
more territories. The Territory ought
to be divided into three or four Dis
tricts for Delegates in the National
House of Representatives.
There is precedence for such a
course. The Philippines have two
Delegates to Congress, and the dif
ferent sections of Alaska, and the
J connection between the Philippines
'and the government at Washington,
particularly in local matters is not
nearly as intimate or important to
the people as the connection between
Alaska and the National Capital.
i A bill providing for at least three
'Delegates should be got through Con
Igress at the earliest possible date.
; The First, Second and Fourth Divi
jsions should be in different Delegate
| Districts. The Third should decide
j whether she wants a separate Dele
gate or whether she would like to be
jin the same district as the First or
I Fourth. The Empire believes that the
'late of the First and Third Divisions
should be cast together, but that is
a matter for the Third Division to de
cide for herself.
It is possible that it would he nec
essary—or advisable—to cut off i.
portion of the lower Yukon from the
Fourth and added to the Second,
but that , too, is a matter for the peo
ple of the sections concerned to de
cide for themselves.
