Administration olllrlnl fay there ran
tio lotnor he any doubt that President
Wilson has decided to give his support
to a more progressive policy In upbuild
Ins the navy utonR modern lines.
This means In their opinion that the
General Hoard of tho Navy, the nd
lury cminoll formed by tho heart of
tle Department, and Secretary Daniels
will cnoporutn In making a well bal
anced proBramme that will call for more
battleships, scouts, repair ships and
ether subsidiaries so urgently required
by modern warfare. Heretofore the
Secretary has recommended n bulld
Inc proRramo without regard to tho find
hiss of the General Hoard.
Admiral denson Illir Factor.
Admiral Henson, the new chief of
rperatlons. Is the principal military ad
viser of the Secretary. He Is likewise
member of tho fleneral Board and a
member of the advisory council. It
Is expected that If Admiral Henson has
Ills way only one naval prorrapime will
be nubmlted to (.'ongress this winter In-r-tead
of two, as In former years. Un
der such circumstances, with the sup
port of the President, nnval officials
are hopeful that Conuress will adopt
this winter n well thought out policy
fashioned by experts.
When the House Committee on Naval
Affairs came to prepare the nnval bud
get Mt year It was confronted with
two olllclal building programmes. One
ef them, prepared by the Secretary of
the Nnvy, proposed two dreadnoughts,
six destroyers, eight or more subma
rines, one gunboat and one oiler. The
Oeneral Hoard recommended sixty-four
additional ships. Including four battle
ships, sixteen destroyers, nineteen sub
marines and other subsidiaries, as well
us $5,000,000 for aerial service.
The Secretary Ignored the recommen
dations of the General Hoard and based
h.i programme on what he thought he
could get from Congress.
It Is realized that as long as the
General Hoard and the Secretary work
t crosn purposes, as they have for many
5 far, Congress will pay little attention
to expert opinion In framing naval bills.
Service Itonrn Alreil.
Other differences within the service
ere alted before the House committee
during the last session. Appearing be
for the committee at different times
Secretary Daniels and his aids In the
Department told conflicting stories as
to the needs of the service. An effort
will be made to nvold such exhibitions
la the future. It Is admitted on all
hands In the Department that the nb
tence of toam work In the past has
militated against the adoption of any
thing like a well thought out policy In
the upbuilding of the navy.
The subject of national defence so
far as It affects the navy was considered
nt a meeting of the Oeneral Hoard to
day All members cf the board except
Adulral Dewey were present.
The discussion to-d.iy touched only

It Is known of course that the sub
marine has demonstrated Its efficiency
within certain limitations. As there has
been no actual test so far between
modern dreadnoughts and submarines
the relative efficiency of the two has not
Jet been determined.

SOCIALIST IN REICHSTAG
MAKES PLEA TO END WAR
"Germany Wants No Conquest, No Annexation!" Cries
Deputy Braun House in Uproar as
Government Is Attacked.
Special Cerrupnnimct to Tim Sex.
Brum;!, via Iindon, June 25. The
Itelchstap session yesterday was a
stormy one. For the first tlmo the sub
ject of "annexation" and the matter of
"keeping conquered territory" was freely
discussed. It showed an ever widening
cleavngo between tho Socialist party and
the other Ilelchstng factions. It shows
that there Is discord In the Socialist
party Itself. That party Is passing
through a crisis, and the question In alt
minds Is, Will the Socialists survive thla
crisis, as they have survived so many
others?
Deputy Braun, Socialist, was the first
speaker to attack the Government. He
charged that the measures taken to al
leviate the distress caused by the un
precedented rise In prices had been
"grossly Insufficient," and assailed those
who take advantage of the situation,
making enormous profits through the In
creased cost of living.
"Against this state of affairs, which Is
a fraud against the people, we protest,"
he declared. "It btnctlts only those who
arc trying to make capital out of the
greatest disaster that has ever befallen
mankind ; those who, too, arc for a con
tinuance of the bloodshed until the ma
tcrlalliatlon of the most absurd annexa
tion plans.
"The great majority of the people
foster the most ardent wish that no op
portunity be missed for the contracting
of an early peace. And this majority
rejects with nil posltlvcness annexation
ambitions of any kind such as nre fav
ored by one king I the King of Wucrt
tcmberg, by political parties and by In
terested groups of big capital.
"The Social Democracy of Germany
rejects these contemptible ambitions If
for no other reason than because they
Increase the already terrific sacrlllces,
the frightful Impairment of the national
strength.
"The German nation wants no con
quest, wants no annexation: It wants
peace without humiliation and without
Uolatlon of other countries."
nrprrrntra Dissension.
Minister of the Interior Delbnieck
said :
"I fully agree with the Socialist
Deputy that the present war Is a serious
matter for the German nation. It Im
poses upon the entire nation and upon
each Individual certain sacrifices which,
however, can bear fruit only by mutual
protection and cooperation of the classes,
not when the classes engage In feuds
nnd reproach one anothei as the So
cialist speaker has reproached certain
other elements.
"After we have quietly listened to you
(turning to the Socialists you ought
to give a Minister the right to speak
without Interrupting him."
Dr. Delbnieck went Into detail to ex
plain that the Government had done Its
very best to alleviate the distress of all
classes and had taken special precau
tions to aid the poor and save them
ftom the "food price usurers." Finally
touching upon the Socialist attacks on
the "annexationists," Dr. Delbrueck
said:
"In a war like this there can be room
for but one thought, namely, to end It
In such n way us to render It Impossible
that we should ever again be dragged
Into such a coulllct. That Is the aim
which the Imperial Chancellor anil the
allied Governments liave set themselves :
that Is th( aim toward which you too
turning to the Socialists must strive
If you have any understanding at all for
the real needs of the fatherland."

Deputy von der Osten, Conscrvatle,
said: "All Germans have been guided
by hut one thought since the war began.
Kverythlng for the fatherland f In this
spirit all classes, Including the agrarians
and the worklngmen, have done their full

and the entire nation reject the Idea
that nny particular class has put Its own
Interests above that of the common
Welfare."
Deputy Karon von Zedlltr. (Conserva
tive) elicited laughter and Jeeis from
tho Socialists and npplauso from the
other factions when he remarked :
"If we had pursued tits policy tlutt
the Social Democrats represented be
fore the war the llusslans would be In

not yet learned the lessons this wnr has
taught us. We must keep up fighting

made we will not have to consider other
people, but solely our own Interests."

A scene of uproar followed when Dep.
uty Herold (of the Centre) In the course
of u long speech said :
The unity of the people nnd the help
of God will nld us In achieving successes
wmcn win prevent futuro wars.'
Tho, Nntional-Mbcrals and Clericals
broke Into thunderous applause. Into
una storm of approval broke louder
noois aim Jeers from the Socialists. Dr.
Karl I.lebknecht. the Socialist leader,
and one of his coreligionists, Herr Stroe.
bcl. made themselves tlio spokesmen of
the Socialists.
"I'olltlcans of conquest I" cried I.leb
knecht. "We want pence !" chimed In Stroebel.
"The nation," continued Herold, "does
not stand behind .Deputy Hr.uin. but the
entire German population, from the cs
treme right to the extreme left, have the
determined will to stand together llko
one man and not waver until success
has lccn achieved."
"Unity Is the only gunrnntee of vic
tory," broke In Deputy Fuhrmann. Nil-tloual-I.lheral.
"I have discussed In the
press recently 'The Great lessons the
War Has Taught.' I did not think the
Socialists would so soon furnish proof
of the absolute truth of my assertions.
"We might put this over Mr. Hraun's
speech: 'He has learned nothing and
forgotten nothing.' It In the old stoiy
that we hae heard so often. Hut It
seems that tho Social Democrats them
selves want to furnish proof that the
other factions need not count upon their
learning those Important lessons.
"While our criticism In committee ses
sions Is Intended to contribute to the
Improvement of the situation and the
lectlfylng of mistakes, the attitude of
the Socialists to-day shous that they
care little about a betterment of af
fairs, which they should have tried to
further in the committee sessions, but
rather they are Intent upon making
speeches out of the windows here, as It
were, to the masses.

BOGUS CANAL BOND
COUPONS REDEEMED
Arrest in Chicago Discloses
S wi nd It; Sccuri t ics Worth
$25,000 Involved.
The arrest In Chicago yerterday by
post office Inspectors of Charles Slefert,
Jr., In connection with charges of using
the malts to defraud, led to the dis
closure that n swindle has been worked
by means of duplicate Stato canal bonds
on which Interest chnrges have been
paid. It Is said that thus far It Is known
that collections have been made on
duplicate securities amounting to $25,000
Six of the duplicate coupons wer
dupllciuc coupons were
turned Into the Han It of tho Manhattan
Company, the fiscal ngent of the State,
In July, 1914, when the seml-nnnuat
Interest was due; twelve were offered
mid accepted when the January, 1915.
Interest had matured, and six dupli
cates wero cashed during the fore part
of July,
The bonds wero duplicates of bonds
owned by John D. Hockefoller. The
Federal olllcers assumed that the dupli
cate coupons en mo from genuine sheets
that had been discarded because of Im
perfections or possibly thoy wero made
from stolen plates.
The hunt for Slefert nnd Ills asso
ciates has been In progress for two
months nnd the Hank of the Manhattan
Company lias nlded In the hunt. Stephen
Hiker, president of the bank, said last
night that the amount lost by the bank
was comparatively small He added
that personally he wncw nothing nliout
the swindle.
Sle.'urt was nrresteil after he, had
mailed to the bank six spurious coupons
from St. Irfiule, purporting to have been
cut from the bonds of the Krle, Osnveso
and Champluln Company and asking that
the Interest thereon be paid.

EASTLAND BLAME PUT
ON CAPTAIN AT INQUEST
Witnesses Assert He Was Warned of Listing and Failed
to Fill Ballast Tanks Secretary Redfield Sum
mons Federal Employees to Chicago.
ClMCAUo, July 27. Capt, Harry
Petersen was directly blamed for the
Kasttand disaster by witness after wit
ness st the Coroner's Inquest to-day.
Harbor Master Adum Wccklor, a ma
rine expert, testified he noticed the dan
gerous list of the vessel and warned
Capt. t'edersen that ho would not open
the Clark street brldgo and permit tho
ship to pass out Into the lake until thl
vessel had been righted,
James It. I. Inn, assistant harbor mas
ter, testified that In his opinion Capt.
t'edersen was guilty of negligence for
not ordering the crew to get passengers
off after he had failed to Mil the water
ballast tanks In seventeen minutes. The
fact that there were bubbles In tho rlxer
showed that the Kistland was stuck In
the mud, he said, the mud undoubtedly
preventing the water from being
pumped Into the ballast tanks.
W. K, Oreenebaum, general manager
of tho Indiana Tratinortat.oti Company,
chnrterer of the boat, te'tllled that he
believed if tho water ballast tanks had
been filled the Hastland would not have
topple! over. He put the blame on the
captain and chief engiucei, J S. Hrlck
son, whose father-in-law Is Federal In
spector J. M. Held of Grand Haven. It
was Held who granted papers Increas
ing the Kastland's carrying capacity.
One .nr :t,(lilO Were Atioiirtl,
Other witnesses told of the list of tho
boat and inserted It w.vn heavily over
loaded, one witness, A. C Rickey, tes
tifying that there must have been "be
tween 3,000 and 1,000 patsengers on the
hIi.-i"
T.ie Coroner's Inquest, which w.i ill

POLICY DECIDED ON

ARMS KMIUKGO PR01JAIILE
Cornish, N. H., July 27 President
Wilson was at work to-day preparing tho
promised announcement of the move the
Government will take In pursuance of
Ills new policy regarding Mexico. The
President shut himself In his tudy at
Harlakeiiden Houso this afternoon and
wrotn rapidly on his typewriter for about
half an hour. It was understood that
he practically had completed the tormu
latlon of tho announcement which Sec
retary Lansing indicated at Washington
Is to be made In s few da)s.
Secretary Lansing's announcement
that the Government Is about to make
a flcJInlto move In regard to Mexico was
lint supplemented .it tho summer Wlilto
House to-day.
The l'resldent Is known to have hail
two rndlcaJly different courses under con
sideration. One, It la believed, provides
for tho abandonment of further effort to
prevail upon the Mexican leaders to es
tablish peace nmonif themsehes. The
llm step In this policy would he the
lestoratlon of the embargo on shipments
of arms and munitions Into Mexico. The
embargo was. lifted nearly two years ago
It, tht ,l.tAt-niln,l,.,. fli..-,.
from control at Mexico city
The other course, which one of the
President's olllclal adviser has urged
consistently, Is said to be the calling of
a conference of Mexican leaders by the
United States Government In an effort
to hnvo the chieftains agree upon n pro-
visional l'resldent to be recognized by
tho United States. This step would bo
taken In eniinertlnn ulth Dm Ixn.iim nt
mi announcement llxlng a period within
which tho t evolutionary leaders must
reach an agreement, provided the Fnlted
State s to lefrnln from positive meas
ures In behalf of its own citizens south
of tlm 1 1 So Grande.
The President wss stirred to-day by
reports which reached him In the State
Department' despatch bag regarding
chaotic conditions In Mexico city. Im
mediately after reading thee reports the
President set about the pieparatlon of
the promised statement. No Indication
was given as to whether or not the
Matemeiit would be Isued before or
afier the President's return to Wash
ington OHREGON AT TORREON.

Carranza appears to be regaining some
I of the ground he recently lost In various
parts or Mexico. Advices received ni
the State Department Indicate that the
Cnrranzlstaa under Gen. Gonzales are
back In Mexico city, which the Zapa
tistas vacated In tho fnco of tho ad
vaiue of tho nrmy of Gen, Gonzales,
the Carranza commander. The latter
quitted the city afterward.
Tho possibility of trouble on the bur
tier betwen the American forces under
Gen. Funston nnd Oarranzlstns at Nsco
has been removed by thn withdrawal
of tho Carranza troops from Naco, h
neutral town under nn agreement be
ween Uic Mexican factions mid til

Carranza commander, but Carranza dl

Gen. Funston was directed to reply with
artillery If In the lighting around Naco
stray bullets fell on tho American side
near N'og.iles, Ariz.
William W. Canada, American Con-sul-Genoral

day that Mexican naval ve-isel, prob

wore taking on supplies.
"Many troops haie arrived hero from

messago said. It Is understood that
Carranza Is about lo send reenforce

The Cnrran,i ugency Intimates In
statement made public to-day thst Gen.
Villa Is about to fles Meilco. Th
statement said In part:
"The whereabout. of 1'nncho VIII i

Is leported that ho Is near tho bordsr, and
It Is not believed possible now that an
efficient stnnd can be nude by the VII

"Telegraphic communication with
Mexico city ha not been reestablished
The department Is Informed that Car

tho town of Ameca In the Guadlajarn
district. It Is said that the Vllllstas
evacuated the town without making
any resistance. After the entry of the
Curranzlstas stores and residences were
sacked, but none of the American resi
