OPPOSES MILITARY PROBE
WILSON THINKS SUCH AN IN
CURRY is UNTlMElY.
Adoption of Gardner Resolution Might
Offend Germany, Say Admin
istraton Leaders.

Washington, Dee. 1.-While Presi
dent Wilson is not expected to seek &c
mould the position of congress on the
resolution of Representative Gardner
for an investigation of the military
strength of the United States, officials
close to the White House said ht
would oppose the investigation il
asked for an opinion
The president is understood to think
such an inquiry is untimely and would
rot disclose any information not al
ready in hand.
The presidents position was made
clear by administration officials after
it became known he had written Mr.
Gardner letter saying he was ready
to discuss the question with him at any
time
Mr.. Gardner will be at the White
House to make an engagement for al
interview within the next few days.
The position of the administration
toward the Gardner resolution, as out
lined is that this is no time to aGitatc
the question of preparedness of the
United States for war. The president
is hopeful that the nation may play an
important part in bringing the present
European war to a close and his ad.
visers believe suggestions for peace
would cCme with bad grace from a
country in the thrOes of a discussion OF
possible war.
Another reason given by administra.
tiOn leaders for opposing the Gardner
resolution is that in his speech in the
house supporting the movement, Mr.
Gardner attacked Germany and they
think the adoption OF his resolution
would make it appear that the action
was directed principally at that nation
When the resolution was first intro.
1uced the president characterized the
proposed investigation as pleasant
mental exercise and said the results
achieved by such an investigation
would depend entirely upon the char.
acter of the commission making il.
Administration leaders said last
night that the president realizes the
Importance of the military lessons
taught by the present war and takes
the position that everything possible
should be learned bv the United
States though he does not regard the
present as proper time for military
discussions in congress.

u. S. REJECTS DECLARATION
Refuses to Accept Piecemeal Adoption
of London Restrictions During

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-The decided

made to the belligerent countries for
the adoption for the sake of uniform.
ity of the Declaration of London as a
temporary code of naval warfare for
use in the present war, has been with
drawn because of the unwillingness
of some of the belligerents to adopt
the Declaration of London without
modification. The United States gov
ernment, therefore, will insist that it's
rights and duties and those of it's citi-
zens in the present war. be defined by
the existing rules Of international law
and the treaties of the United States
with the beiligerents, Independently of
the provisions of the Declaration. and
this government Will reserve the right
to enter demand or protest in every
case in which the rights and duties
mentioned above and defined by exist
ing rules of international law are vio-
lated or their free exercise hindered
by the authorities of the belligerent
governments.
The message was signed by Coun-
sellor Lansing, then acting secretary
