RECEPTION GRATIFYING
- ALL ALONG HIS ROUTE
All Washington Takes Keen
Interest in Watching Re
sults of His Journey.'
Wal)lngtonr Feb. B. (WASHING
TON" BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
President Wilson's appeal to the coun
try his -Bpeechmaking- tour is the
subject of supreme interest In polit
ical circles in Washington. These
speechmaklng trips were not political
In any 'senae, as all the meetings -were
Under non-political auspices, but re
ports of the president's reception and
the comment that always follows in
the wake of a presidential, train have
keen read with unusual .interest.
In his trip into the Mississippi val
ley the president entered territory
where it was assumed that the cam
paign for r greater preparedness had
made the least progress. xn the great
farming states of that Tegion. far from'
the seaports and from points of pos
sible attack fronv- an enemy,, there is
believed to be the strongest sentiment
against 'spending money for dread
naughts and armies. : r.
It was - for that 'reason that the
president chose, this ground for dis
cussion of the plans he has presented
to congress. He believed that ha would
be able to remove ?. misapprehensions
that the administration is favoring
the things that lead to militarism and
aggression. His purpose was to try
to carry direct to the Jarming commu
nities of Iowa. " Kansas and other
states of the middle west the convic
tion that greater- sreparednesa Is a
duty, and: that this, does not mean
" militarism. S -
- BT , Bet JProgrem in flow. r
li'emocf'fttta leaders In congress
hae come to understand - that it ; is
not, and, never , was, the purpose of the
administration to jam, any particular
prSgrani through.'; The tentative plan
submitted by, the" president and . the
secretary ef war ' has been pounced
upon by extremist's on both sides.
That and, the various other plans pre
sented are now In - the welding and
compromise stage. - ' . -
One of the evidences of this is the
submission tp the" senate mfliUry af
fairs committee ot; tne 5 drafts of a'bill
vroviuias ior xne continental army in
gewerat terms, leaving the-details of
organisation to the war department.
This plan is understood to f have been
suggested by Chairman Chamberlain, !
with the idea of being worked over
and incorporated in.- the Chamberlain i
bill providing for, Increases In ihe reg
ular army. , . t
The continental armytplan, as thus
authorised, can be experimented with
as a sort of subsidiary ,or auxiliary
service. - Latitude , will . be allowed as
to detail, so the war department can
ascertain by experience the practu
cablllty of the plan, concerning which
much doubt has been expressed.'
Tariff Commission, pua Approved.
Another development of prime im
portance is the president's request for
creation, of a new tartff board, non
partisan and of, broad- investigating
power, accompanied by a rfranjt state
ment explaining .his change of atti
tude. - The general ..opinion here seems
to be inat this is a good stroke, and
-that, the president will be gainer by it,
,j . Naturally;, the Republicans are anx
ious to placard this as "another flop,"
; but few of them have the hardihood to
oppose the. plan.,, To- do -so they have
to fly its the face of their own plat-
- form declarations, though ! "it was nly
recently , that- Republicans," with the
exception of the . Progressives, - were
opposing-such a board. ? '
.l AIany of the high priests of protec
tion have not yet accepted the tariff
: commission idea, and openly: scoff at
: it; in American , Economist " a few
months ago said .the -"tariff commis
sion, idea is a faUacy.- and; Senator
' .Jones-of . Washington, not long ago said
- be was. in favor of a commission to re
vise the tariff "oh 'a protective stand
ard." :t i The Republican ; attitude pri
..' vately y and sometimes1 publicly- ex
pressed is to warp the tariff commis
sion m aavance to -tne protective idea.
President Wilson' takes the position
that the commission should have no
instructions in advance except to ob
tain, ail possible information to aid in
framing tariff legislation, laying aside
all thought as to what. the effect may
' be. Congress -can thus be thoroughly
- advised with reliable data and may
adopt its own theory, as' now. But it
would be much more difficult to work
In "jokers" and to muddy up the wa
tera while' tariff, raaklne la , in .prog
ress. . p vi-'j,;.. jjf, - -'
The point "of . strength In the pres
Ident's; position -. is that he " has . the
r courage and-Independence .not merely
to change his mind, but to act sis pres
ident for what he conceives to be the
; greatest good for the - nation ; In the

German Reply to America
Admittedly Omits Word
"Illegal."
Washington, Feb. 5. (I. N. S.) It
was. possible today for the first time
to obtain definite and reasonably cer-
tain. Information regarding the German
note on the Lusltanla case,' delivered to
the state .department yesterday. Ger
many maintains that the sinking of the
Lusltanla was. an act of retaliation, and
that ; as such it was.' legal; that she
acknowledges that an act of retaliation
is not Justified when it imperils the
safety of neutrals.
Germany makes an explicit admls-
-
2' PAQESlsion of her obligation to pay indemnity
for the American, lives lost with tne
Lusltanla. :"-. '
The demands of the United States
were that Germany- should acknowl
edge that the death of the Americans
was illegal, and that she should admit
her obligation to pay indemnity. ,
- One Coaeesslom O ranted.
The first of Germany's admissions,
therefore, falls short, to a certain ex
tent, of the assurances asked by tho
United States: the second comnliea
with the American demand. The lat-
iter, at least, is a concession on Ger-
manyB part. Heretofore her position
was that ne would "Ulln to pay
Indemnity as a matter of grace, not as
an obligation. -I
The question to be decided by Pres-
Wilson, is . whether Germany's
admission, fnat an act, or retaliation,
such' as the sinking o the Lusltanla,
is not justified when It imperils the

The ' German- reply on- this proposi

"So I -will tell you about what peo
ple popularly call dissension, although
it was anything but. that After being
out a few dp.ys, Mr. Ford realized that
there were some members of the party
not in sympathy with its aims and
purposes, so he rewrote the invitation
in the form of a statement and asked
those in sympathy with the idea of a
neutral conference, of the gradual dis
armament of the nations of the world
and of' no further preparation on the
part of the United States, to sign the
statement, because he felt that only
those in sympathy with the movement
should serve in the conference.
Invitations All Alike.
Some members of the party .claimed
their invitations did not Include the
above clauses, but others ' produced
their invitations and it was found that
they were all alike. Mr. Ford was
most courteous to the two Or three who
said they could not conscientiously
sign the statement and told them that
he wanted them to. be his guests.
"Out of the 61 reporters aboasd. five

GREATER DEFENSE OF

' 1 ; ..'
Fortifications of Waterway
Must Be Strengthened to
Meet Any Emergency.
Washington, Feb. 5. I. N. S.)
The fortifications of the Panama canal
must . be strengthened to meet any
emergency, five generals of the
United States srmy told the house ap
propriations., committee today. The
United States must maintain fortifica
tions at the 'canaii sone, the military
experts said, adequate to repel any
possible attack by hostile naval forces,
it th American -rltet is to be made
efficient as an around the world flght-1
ing force. The generals indorsed es
timates calling for $8,234,000 for Pan
ama canal fortifications next year.
' Increased Appropriations Sought.
; The appropriations asked fp by the
squad of generals aggregate - nearly
four times the amount of last year's
expenditures. Congress) appropriated
$2,639,448 last year. The estimates
double last year's appropriations for
ammunition for the sone guns. Last
year 733,000 was appropriated for this
purpose and this year . the generals
want $1,600,000. They also asked .for
$240,000 for submarine mines to be
planted in - the Atlantic and Pacific
entrances to the canal and for $700,000
for establishing and maintaining mil
itary roads to facilitate the movement
of troops in the sone.
Naval Pro-am May Be Changed.
Washington, Feb. 6. (I. N. S.) The
possibility of a change in the adminis
tration's so-called five year naval pro
gram J.o conform with the president's
expressed belief that the United States
should bave- 'tbe greatest navy-in- tne
world." was suggested by Secretary of
(.the Navy. Daniels today. He qualified
his statement, however, py saying mat
he had not conferred with tne presi
dent since his declaration on the naval
strength of the United f States.
Our program, as it now stands, was
outlined last October but that does not
mean that it cannot be changed to meet
