TREATY MAY BE CHANGED Ten-Yc-nr Limit on Protectorate May lie Estrndcd That Capital Be Induced lo Make Loans Without Krar of Revolt. WASHINGTON". Aug. i". It became known today that plans of the United States for putting Haiti In order con template calling upon the War De partment, if necessary, to furnish offi cers for the Inland police from its corps of non-commlsMoned officers who have developed and commanded the Philip pine constabulary. Officers say the proposed protecto rate treaty would provide not only for a complete financial protectorate and the administration of custom-houses, but for a native police force officered by Americans. tlear-A Jmlral Caperton and bis ma rines will remain on the Island ponding ratification of the treaty and setting up the machinery of the protectorate. Some opposition is expected from the rebellious clement on the north of the Island who do not look with favor upon the ending of revolutionary days, but little real trouble Is looked for. Prompt ratification of the protecto rate treaty by the Haltien Parliament waa forecast today by dispatches to the State Department from Charge Davis at Port au Prince. The Charge said President P'Arttguenave. head of the new governments Is committed to the convention and la believed to have as surances of sufficient support from Senators and delegates to secure favor able action wltin a few days. He pre sided over the Senate for several years and Is popular among his former o?ol leagues. It Is said provision msy be Inserted In the tra'y for an extension, if neces-sa-y. cf the Iv-yi-ar limit placed on the protectorate. Doubt has been expressed as to whether forclsn capitalists would be willing to make loans to the govern ment or .nvest their money for devel opment of the Island's Industries with out some guarantee against a return to anarcbii-lc conditions at the end of 10 years.

Wash lngton. Aug. 27. The General Board of the Navy. In a connuenuai report sud mitted to Secretary Daniels, disagrees with the popular estimate of subma rines as instruments of warfare and recommends that only a moderate In crease be made In the rate of building submersible craft. The Board, on the other hand, pins Its faith to dreadnoughts, contending they still are the backbone of the Navy, so proved by the war In Europe, and they accordingly recommend a large Increase In the number of battleships, along with a substantial increase In the number of ao -called battleship cruisers heavily armored ships of high speed. Coareptlea af Submarines Corrected. A member of the General Board, ex plaining the attitude of that body, said the public bad a totally wrong concep tion of the value of submarines, as de velooed by the European war. Subma rines, be admitted, had wrought great havoc among merchant ships, but their damage to warships had been negli gible, considering the number of those vessels Involved. The percentage of damage done to commercial vessels, he said, was small when one conaiaereu the number of merchantmen sailing from the ports of England every day. Only about one in every 1000 ships sailing from British ports, he con tended, has thus far fallen victim to the German aubmarlnes. The great naval achievement of the European war, according to this offi cer, was the complete wiping out of German commerce on the high seas, giving to the allies control of the ocean.. No ships, he pointed out, are leaving or entering German ports, while commerce with Great Britain Is, comparatively speaking, uninterrupted. Gernaaa Navy Readered Powerless. The German fleet, this officer con tended, being Inferior to the British navy, had taken refuge behind the Kiel Canal and had, at on time, dared venture forth to engage the heavy warships of the allies. This blockade of the German fleet, he maintained, was Just as effective, as a war meas ure, as If the German fleet had been engaged and wiped out, for the Ger man battleships and cruisers have struck no blow in the North Sea since the war began. Had the German navy been the equal of that of Great Britain, he pointed out, the German fleet long ago would have sallied forth to engage the ships of the enemy, and had the Germans proved superior to the allies on the sea. Great Britain would have been unable- to blockade Germany and cut off her sup plies from the outside world. The United States, quite as much. If not more than Germany, he contended, would be dependent upon supplies from the outside, in the event of war, and its Navy should be able to cope with the navy of any enemy. It can do so, he argues, only with battleships and heavily armored fast cruisers. Nitrate Must Be Imported. Producing not a pound of nitrate, the essential ingredient in explosives, the United States must import nitrate in time of war In large quantities. Being short of arms and ammunition and wofully short of artillery, the United States, in event of war, must, neces sarily be able to import munitions from other countries. It could not do so if Its Navy consisted largely of sub marines, for submarines have not oeen proved an adequate means of overcom ing a heavily armored and speedy fleet of battleships. The success of the raids of German submarines in British waters has created a popular sentiment in favor of that type of war craft and enthu siasm over battleships has somewhat diminished because of the relative in activity of the greatest war vessels of the European fleets. The European was has not developed a single big sea fight b-stween battleships of the con tending forces. This public sentiment may be Influ ential before Congress in thwarting the programme of the General Board, even though it be indorsed by the Adminis tration, and especially so because of the high cost of battleships as com pared with the relatively small cost of submarines.
