Rep resentative Emerson of Ohio today in troduced a resolution asking an ap propriation of $59,000,000 for immedi ate construction of additional submarines. By Lowell Mellett. London, Feb. 6. (U. P.) British newspapers believe the turning point in the war has been reached. Ah in dication of how important they re gard the situation may be judged from the fact that today's editions devoted from 40 to 60 -per cent of their' editorial and news pages 'to the American situation. American news and analysis of American naval strength was fea tured almost to the exclusion of news from the various fronts and discus sion of Britain's1 own -internal affairs. Naval experts' opinions were spread over columns in the newsDaDers Their discussions centered on the possible aid which might be ex pected from America on th seas. The experts disagree on many points even while they argue from the same sets of tables showing Ameri can naval strength and probably the same pictures. Pictures, incidentally, are printed in remarkable profusion. Inventions Ar Anticipated. Th ' naval expert ar practically unanimous in their opinion that the main American fleet will not serve any purpose which is not already adequately met by present forces of the allies. The greatest attention is centered on weapon which might be used to combat th submarine menace. Some opinions bewail the failure of America to provide fast cruisers; others take satisfaction In large numbers of destroyers and gunboats listed in the American register. The most interesting comment noted was th belief that something new will be produced from Thomas A. Edison's "invention board." ap pointed as & consulting committee by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Borne predictions were that a master weapon against the submarine would be revealed once th United States entered th war. , Without exception th most fa- vorabl attention was given by crit ics to the mobilization of volunteer mo tore raft, whose recent maneuvers in mock warfare against submarines were apparently keenly watched from tms side or th water. "Sea Wasps" Ar Wanted. Tha Britons called these motor boat adversaries of the submarines sea wasps. They held that the addition in large numbers of these submarine hunters to the allies' effective naval forces would be of the utmost valu-j at the present juncture. Th organ ization or this force, the London Ex press observes, proves the "American navy department has not been slow to learn the lessons of this war." All British newspapers united in lauding the spirit of the American navy. ? "Everything Justifies the confi dence which the United States re poses in its naval strength," declared the Times. "Its officers and men are real sailors," declared the Standard. "The standard of discipline is different from ours it is democratic, although efficient, nevertheless." The Standard quotes Farragut's words: "Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead," as typifying the Amer ican naval spirit. Washington. Feb. 6. (TJ. P.) After presenting a resolution asking the senate to Indorse th action of Presi dent Wilson in breaking relations with Germany, Senator Stone, a few min utes later, -withdrew bis motion, when Senator Lodge moved for a rollcail. Stone then asked for action on bis resole tlen tomorrow; "I do . not object to th resolution," said. Lodge, "but I think a roricall would be proper." The Stone resolution follows: "Whereas, the president has for the reasons stated in his address de livered to the congress in joint ses sion on February 3. 1917, severed diplomatic relations with the im perial . German government by the recall of the American ambassador at Berlin and by handing his pass ports to the German ambassador at Washington, and. "Whereas, notwithstanding this se verance of diplomatic intercourse, th president has expressed his desire to avoid conflict with th Imperial German government, and, "Whereas, the president declared in this said address that if in his Judg ment an occasion should arise for further action in the premises on the part of the government of the United States, he would submit the matter to congress, and ask authority of congress to use such measures as he might deem necessary for -protection of American seamen and people in prosecution of their peaceful and legitimate errands on the high seas, inererore, be it resolved; by the senate that the senate approves the ac tion by the president as set forth in his address delivered before the joint session of the congress, as stated above."

Ow E AGAIN; MEN H CHEER AND SHOUT Bands Play the "Stars and Stripes" While 12,000 Men Stand at Attention, By Webb Miller. t Columbus. N. M.. Feb. 6. (U. P.) The American punitive expedition, sent nto Mexico last spring to capture Villa dead or alive," marched back upon American soil today with the main ob ject of its invasion of Mexico unaccom plished. I Biding at the head of the American column, General Pershing, commanding the expedition, led his men across the international line at 8:30 a. m. today. As the front ranks 0 th line winding across the desert set foot upon the soil of their home land the men broke into wild cheering and shouting. The col umn as it covered the final stretch of the hike to the border was nearly 16 miles in length. Before marching across the border the American flag was dipped in sa lute. The entire expedition formed in a hollow square at Palomas lakes, five miles from the border on the Mexican side. With' 1S.O0O men standing at atten tion, the bands played the "Star Span gled Banner," while the Stars and Stripes fluttered to the ground. Then the columns formed and 'pushed toward the international line. For more than four hours the Warning Question Left to Captains German Wary Official Says That Com manders of Submarines Vay tjs Own Judgment as to Warning Snips Berlin, Feb. 5. (I. N. S.) Captains of German submarines have the final decision whether thay shall sink ship without warning or not, accord ing to an official of the navy depart ment. He announced that Germany is ready to meet the problem of "ruth less" submarine warfare. '"I do not care to say how many new submarines we have. ' he said 'but we have a great many, of newer and more powerful type. Thei crews are better trained to meet emergencies than before. Thirty months of war have taught us a lot. "Neutrals who enter the war zone on ships do so at- their own peril. W will not require our captains to warn ships before attacking. That is left to their own discretions" WILSON CONFERS WITH OFFICIALS IN DEPARTMENTS I Con tinned From Pare Ooe.t "Washington, Feb. 6. (I. N. S.) Th American steamer Housatonlc, sunk by a, German submarine off the Scilly islands, was warned before being sent to the bottom, It was officially re ported to the state department yes- erday by American consul Stephens at Plymouth, England. Not only did the German submarine commander warn the Housatonlc, but the submarine Itself rescued the Amer ican crew- and towed them in life boats for 90 minutes until sighting a British patrol boat. Consul Stephens reported Then the submarine turned the Ameri cans over to the English boat and disappeared. The text-of Consul Stephens' report follows: "American steamer Housatonlc. load ed-with a cargo of wheat for the Brit ish government, torpedoed by a Ger man submarine at 12:30 (either a. m or p. m. was after the numerals, but they were indistinct) February 3. Ves sel was warned and total crew of 37 was rsecued by submarine and towed for 90 minutes toward land. Submi rlne fired signal to attract British pa trol boat, which subsequently landed crew at Penzance. The information that the Housatonlc had been warned before destruction was immediately transmitted to Presi dent Wilson in the seclusion of his study at the White House and to Se retary of State Lansing, who remained at his home today. Whdle there was no official utter ance on the part of either, it was ad mitted by persons close to them that they were very much gratified. By Karl H. von Wiegand. (Copyright, 1917. by InterntUonai News SerTice.) New Tork. Feb. 5. (I. N. S.) With Germany's lines east and west holding firmly, her women, children and other non-combatants subject to England's "starvation war," which is declared bv 'very German to be "Inhuman war fare," their suggestion that a confer ence might end the war answered by the allies with "thumbs down." and convinced that they have as right 10 live and let live, , the German people have staked their existence upon their last remaining strong card. Only time can tell whether it Is a "trump." -But. successful or unsuccessful, the end of the war is now in sight. In a previous article I described the submarine situation in Germany as be ing in the hands of the big three the kaiser, Hindenburg and Bethmann- Hollweg and that the so-called "ruth less submarine warfare" could only come when Hindenburg found it neces sary and gave the word. Klndnbnrg Has Spokaa. Hindenburg has spoken. Reluctantly. and yet confidently, th old field marshal has given his consent to- th admiralty's long cherished plans against England "th war of retalia tion or an eye for an eye," the Ger mans ar fond of calling it. For "our mothers, wives and children" would be the motto of every submarine com mander. Knowing something about Hinden burg and Ludendorff, as perhaps few foreigners do, I can say that the de cision was not a light onecfor them. Steadily and strongly they have re sisted the popular clamor and pressure for this form of retaliation against Misunderstanding Predicted. Washington, Feb. 6. (U. P.) A 'misunderstanding" with Japan will result if the Immigration bill, passed by the house over the president s veto is passed likewise by the senate, when the latter body votes on it at 4 o'clock this afternoon, Senator Heed today de clared he has been Informed by the state department. England's "starvation" blockade. Stem necessity ' alon can ' have persuaded them to resort to this policy and risk a break.' perhaps war. with th United States. Only hunger gnawing on the vitals of th nation. Intensified per haps by th winter, can have dictated decision. . Ksisf no Alom Coiisloar. Today the German people are think ing only of self-preservation and their national existence. Both of these are threatened by th reply of th allies to Germany's peace suggestion, at least the German people believe that, which amounts to the sam thing, and they have resorted to self-preservation. the first law of nature, regardless of rules. It may .be "madness." we may not approve, but we should at least en deavor to understand. Especially was that feeling striking in Socialistic working classes. "We have enough enemies." I hav beard again and again. Remembering that Hindenburg was perhaps the one, lone, solitary optimist in Germany when the Roumanians en. tered the war, it is the spirit of 'that same Hindenburg and the fact that he gave bis consent to the beginning of the new and last phase of the war which prevents the wave of depression and discouragement from sweeping over the German peoples today when they are face to face with United States as an enemy. Hindenburg Has Confidence. The confidence of Hindenburg and Ludendorff is quite beyond the imagina tion of the American people. I am con fident that were Hindenburg to say: "Children, the end is near, let us go down together In a way that will ever be a glory to the fatherland," there would not be many missing. It recalls also to mind what Richard Whltting, president of the National bank of Germany and brother of Maxl. millan Hasden. said in August of.-1916, when in the bitterness of his soul, he exclaimed, "If Germany goes down, it will go down in a way that the world will remember for ages and the great mistake only then will be fully under stood and appreciated by the world, when the Russian Asiatic hordes sweep over Europe." GERARD HAS RECEIVED FORMAL NOTIFICATION OF HIS WITHDRAWAL (Oontlaaed rrom Pur Oae.) from her announcement of unlimited submarlnlngs would be the greatest surprise of the war. Germany has now mobilized every ounce of her energy for the expected and decisive campaigns. With new trbops constantly going to the front, with Zeppelins flying over marine successes' and the news of sue cessrui throwing off of. entent at-: tacks on all fronts, th public is vteeled to further sacrifices. The feeling her la that Germany is a gigantic powder magaslne, prepar ing for an explosion in a military sense and that this explosion will shake th universe. The American embassy was a pic ture of glbom. Secretary Joseph C. Grew, Commander Oharardt, naval at tache, and other secretaries and em ployes paced the corridors nervously. The question everywhere In Berlin asked was how American official, cor respondents, Red Cross doctors and cit laena will reach America with all European liners stopped. pain stay B Gateway. Neutral ahip lines are refusing to Dook any passage. A great number of Americans who had arranged to aall during February and March were no- tined tbat their sailings had been can. celled. But the exodus of theae Americana from Germany had already begun. It started in the middle of last week. With all Scandinavian and Dutch liners stopped. Spain appears to be th only open route. On Saturday the am bassador received a telegram from the American embassy In Madrid notifying him what liners were scheduled from there. On suggestion that was circulated In Berlin was that Washington arrange for a Norwegian ship to bring Ameri cans from Bergen. Norway, to New York and. returning, to bring back from America Ambassador Bernstorff, nis starr and German consuls. Small Mantrals Hot reared. Newspapers have been pointing out daily since announcement of Germany's new policy that the small European neutrals Denmark, Holland and Scan dinavia are not expected to oppose th submarlnlngs, because of fear. No comment from American newspa pers has yet been printed. Discussing the general situation cre ated by the submarine order, the Lokal Anzeiger declared editorially: "The public should be satisfied with on warm room and not expect th whole apartment. The public Is warned that it must not only sacrifice more but must expect even more dis comfort by the prolongation of the war, if the public wanta to help win." Th reference to th "warm room" was particularly apt today, alnc Ber lin Is now in the grip of the most se vere blizzard in years. There has been great suffering. However, no deaths have yet been reported.

The dispatch above is evidently s based on wireless Interchanges which, were "picked up" by British wireless stations. The announcement did not state between which points, or na- , tlons, the "negotiations were proceed ing." Carl W. Ackerman's dispatch to th United Press, received today,' stated that American Ambassador Gerard saw Foreign Minister Zimmerman Sunday following the receipt of press messages reporting the diplomatic break. Ther Is nothing to indicate tbat Zimmerman at that time suggested any concessions, but it may be significant that th am bassador met Zimmerman bfor h re ceived official word of hi recall. V. 8.

Two unprecedented incidents have been recorded in the cable dispatches since President Wilson outlined before the United States Senate the kind of peace that "the peoples of America could join in guaranteeing." On the day following his speech a great conference of iht British Labor Party in England rose to its feet and applauded for five minutes at the casua.1 mention of .President Wilson's name and then enthusiastically voted its unqualified support to the British government in carrying the war to a victorious conclusion! The other incident was the sending: to President Wilson from the Allies' trenches in France of a number of circular letters each signed by 300 soldiers, thanking him for his generous inter vention, but asking him to "dream no longer of the chimera of peace until victory is gained." In THE LITERARY DIGEST for February 3, the feature-article shows what the rulers and the newspapers of the wojld think of President Wilson's attitude. Since it is not possible to know immediately what the common people think of it, it will give considerable satisfaction to read this comprehensive survey. t . : Among other articles of more than ordinary interest in this number are: reported favorably on the 17 conspir acy bills, "to prevent and punish con spiracy tc Injure or destroy property situated within the United States and belonging to a foreign government with which the United States is at peace."
