BILLS FOR DEFENSE
IN FINAL STAGES
Measures for Large Increase
in Army to Be Ready for.
v Congress Next Week.
NAVAL PLEA CONTINUED
Admiral Kniglit Tells House Com
mittee American Policies Constl
Y tute Menace Unless They Are
Backed, by Preparation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. The cam
paisn for National preparedness will
enter on a new phase in Congress next
week, when in all probability bills pro
viding- for increasing the Army to a!
extent never before ' contemplated in
time of peace will be introduced in both
the House and Senate.
The House military committee will
begin tomorrow its final review of the
measure tentatively agreed on last
week and which, it is said, will be
altered only in minor details before it
is favorably reported.
The Senate committee agreed today
to insert only a general provision for
Federalization of the National Guard
in its regular Army regulation meas
ure, leaving the task of putting this
legislation in final shape to the joint
conference committee, to which the two
bills will go. By this action the Senate
committee made it possible to bring
out its bill also next week.
. American Policies Are Menace.
Before the House naval committee,
Ttear-Adm:ral "Knight continued today
his recommendations that every fa.cil
ity in the country be employed to
hasten construction of a fleet equal to
those of any two nations except Great
Britain. American policies such as the
Monroe .Doctrine, the Asiatic exclusion,
control of the Panama Canal and the
open door in China, he declared, con
stitute a great and growing threat of
war unlets adequate preparations to
uphold them are made.
' Admiral Knight said he believed it
would lake two years and a half to
make the Navy efficient enough to
meet the present German fleet with
any hope of success. The time limit
he set was the minimum required to
huild nine battle cruisers and eight
fast fcouts. He said it would take 18
months to put the ships of the Atlantic
fleet in full active commission. In
readiness for war.
"Not that we would not make a good
showing against any force in much
less time," he added.
ArKenals Xo Prepared.
Representative Tilson. of the House
military committee, - addressed the
House today on a feature of the pre
paredness plans on which he has
dwelt at length in committee hearings.
Hacking up- his remarks with exhibits
from various arsenals, he said that
while there were hundreds of gun and
ammunition factories in operation in
this country, none, of the Governmen
plants was prepared to produce the
weapons and cartridges needed by the
American Army.
A bill to. provide for the manufac
ture of special tools- and fixtures to
make the necessary changes in privately-owned
machines has . been in
troduced by Mr. Tilson. He estimated
it would cost from $15,000,000 to $20.
000,000, but declared that unless such
a. step, were taken the country could
not supply within a year the guns and
ammunition for a single great battle.
With the fixtures on hand, a month
would s an ample supply produced..
Volunteer Act Amended.
The Senate military committee agreed
tentatively today to amend the present
volunteer act so that a third force, ex
clusive of the regular Army or the Na
tional Guard, may be organized in
peace times. It is proposed to insert a
general provision in the pending bill
under which the restriction of organi-
. zation of Federal volunteers would be
removed and the President would have
the widest possible latitude as to ques
tions of enlistment, terms, training and
other details, to insure a practical test
of this method of raising a citizen
army.
In effect, the proposal . is to -supply
the authority for a test of the conti-
. nental army plan advocated by the
President and ex-Secretary Garrison. A
provision with the same end in view
is now included in the House bill and
the final judgment on the plan will be
worked out in conference.
Members of the House committee in
closest touch with its efforts toward
Federalization of the National Guard
said today that while it was proposed
in the bill to go the limit of constitu
tional authority in this regard, they
believed a constitutional amendment
sweeping aside all state jurisdiction
would be necessary in the end.
Hope was expressed that agitation
for such an . amendment would come
from the guardsmen themselves, once
their new relations with the Federal
Government were established.
the arguments of the foreign diplomats
with whor-i he had to contend.
Dispatches from Berlin and Vienna
have pictured how the Congressional
agitation was received there as indi
cating that the President, in his de
mands upon Germany and Austria, cia
not have the support of his own party
and.. was being opposed by elected rep
resentatives of the people. There was
immediately a stiffening of the German
determination not to recede from the
announced purposes of the new sub
marine campaign to sink without warn
ing all armed merchant ships, despite
President "Wilson's reiterated conten
tion that such a practice was contrary
to the principles for which the unitea
States had contended with Germany
ever since the sinking of the Lusitania.
It is known that among the elements
leading to the President's action were
repeated declarations of Germany's un
yielding attitude expressed in inspired
statements from Berlin by the highest
officials of the German government,
some of which even approached inti
mations of bad faith on the Presi
dent's part because the United States
would not accept the view tnat me
Lusitania guarantees applied only to
ships carrying no armament whatever.
Capital la Much Surprised.
News of the President's decision came
i a distinct surprise at the Capitol.
where the leaders of both Houes heard
of it first through reports of the letter
received by Mr. Pou. There were some
expressions of dissatisfaction, particu
larly among members of the House, at
the course adopted. Surprise was ex
pressed that the President should ap
peal to the rules committee to nave
brought out, debated and' voted on pro
posals which have been kept in the
foreign relations committee solely be
cause it was believed that the Admin
istration did not want them discussed
or acted on.
It is considered probable that action
bv both Houses may be taken Thurs
day. An attempt hardly will be made
to bring a resolution into the House
tomorrow, as under the rules it would
require a two-thirds vote to permit
its consideration on "calendar Wednes
day." ,
Leaders Agree on Plan.
Speaker Clark. Majority Leader
Kitchin, Representatives Flood and
Foster of Illinois conferred at the
Capitol tonight and agreed to urge that
the rules committee take no steps,
pending action by the foreign affairs
committee, and that the foreign affairs
committee should, be called together at
once to report a sub-resolution, prob
ably an affirmative expression of con
fidence in the President. The rules
committee then would be in a position
to report out a rule for immediate
consideration of the matter.
Speaker Clark and others maintained
a discreet silence tonight, awaiting
what President Wilson might have to
say at the White House conference to
morrow. There was apparent, how
ever, a distinct feeling that the method
adopted by the President to secure
action might put the party leaders
in a false position. The day's devel
opments were the subject of animated
discussion during the evening in the
lobbies of .hotels.
Newspaper men first took the word
of the letter to Representative Pou to
Speaker Clark's office while the House
still was in session. Almost simultan
eously Representative Shackleford. of
Missouri, credited with being the unof
ficial leader of the faction favoring i
warning resolution, dropped into the
Sneaker's office and heard the news.
He hastened over and broke it to Ma
jority Leader Kitchin.
Speaker Gets Kews ly Phone.
Meantime the letter was read over
the telephone to the Speaker. When a
few minuter- later he resumed the
Speaker's chair to adjourn the House
little groups of members surrounded
leaders on the floor, eagerly discussing
the situation. Many remained until
long after adjournment.
On the Senate side the development
caused almost as much of a stir. When
the facts were ascertained, some of the
Administration Senators conferred in
formally and it was decided there
should be no change in the policy of
keeping the warning resolution off the
floor until some idea could be obtained
of the probable course of events in the
House. Later word came that Senators
Kern and Stone had been summoned
to the White House.
Senator Gore has pending a warnin
resolution which might be called up
any morning when the Senate had ad
journed the night oetore. eut a rece
instead, of an adjournment was taken
tonight and this precludes any chance
of Senate action before xnursaay.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, already has
prepared a substitute resolution to in
dorse the President's policy, but when
no opportunity for action on the Gore
resolution was presented, he decided
to withhold, it.

Supplementary Matter.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. Results ot
the new Austro-German submarine
campaign against armed snips oi me
ntente allies beginning at midnight
are awaited by the United States with
rave concern.
Although under their new instruc
ions Teutonic naval commanders are
authorized to sink without warning all
armed, enemy merchantmen they en
counter, it is understood they have been
told to make sure if possible that no
American citizens are aboard, any ship
attacked. Furthermore, in the' latest
communication regarding submarine
warfare, Germany has assured the
United States that the new orders are
so . formulated as to prevent the ie
struction of enemy liners "on account
of their armament unless such arma
ment is proved.
The attitude of the United States
Government toward the new policy ot
Germany and Austria has not been
definitely determined. President Wil

note, are of a character broad enough
to warrant acceptance of the German
proposal to settle the issues growing
out of the sinking of the Lusitania.
Meanwhile - if any American citizen
is injured during the attack by & sub
marine on a merchant ship which does
not use-and has no intention of using
its armament otherwise than defen
sively a grrave situation will arise.
The United States stands at this time
i it has always done, for the rights
of American citizens- to travel with
safety on defensively armed ships. If
the German contentions are sustained,
however, and it is proved conclusively
that a ship on which an American may
be injured used defensive , armament
for purposes of offense, it is consid
ered unlikely that this Government will
take any action. It never has con
tended that ships committing attacks
or other offensive acts, or under orders
to so conduct themselves, are immune
from summary destruction.
Atli "SEA FORCES' INCLUDED
German Expert Denies Campaign Is
Exclusively by Submarines.
BERLIN, via London. Feb. 29. There
is no justification in referring -to "an
intensification of the war on English
commerce'' as a consequence of the
German memorandum concerning the
future treatment of armed merchant
men, in the opinion of Captain- Persius,
the naval expert of the Berliner Tage
blatt, wh,o, in a leader in that paper,
discusses the situation as it will exist
after today.
Captain Persiug explains that an "ad
dendum was made to Germany's order
concerning prizes" of June 22, 1914, that
Is to say, before the war, in which it
is declared that every hostile action of
an armed merchantman would be con
sidered piracy. The war zone order of
February 8, 1915, he said, merely called
the attention of neutrals anew to the
German rule. He says t that the latest
memorandum does not speak especially
of submarines, but of German "sea for
ces." Hence, the talk of an exclusively
submarine campaign is not justified.
Captain Persius argues that if the
United States declares that it did not
sign the Paris convention in 1856, which
abolished privateering, and hence is not
obliged to refuse recognition for armed
merchantmen, this is the merest eva
sion and amounts to a second knocking
of the weapon from the hand of one of
two duellists. He expresses the convic
tion that the war against merchantmen
must be prosecuted vigorously, but
adds:
"We may not deceive ourselves over
the fact that that carrying on the
campaign now as before is surrounded
by diplomatic reefs for our maritime
forces, and especially for our sub
marines in the war on commerce. Never
theless, the nation can look hopefully
to the future. The submarines have
