DEBATE NEXT WEEK
ON FORTIFICAT|ONS
Budget Carries $51,174,200,
and Makes Hawaii Protec-
tor of Canal.

The budget providing an important
system of fortifications for the iIa-
waiian Islands, is before the House,
and will be debated next week Gen.
Leonard Wood and General Crozier
urged the fortification of Hawaii, that
the naval base might be a protection
to the Pacific coast and the Panama
canal.
The measures carries S51,I14,2O0 and
the Hawaiian Islands project is the only
new item contained in the bill. The
transfer OF forty-ive artillery pieces to
the islands, which has already been
made, was given Congressional sane
tion.
General Wood told the subcommittee
that "an enemy TO the west of us desir-
ing to attack our coast, or the canal,
has got to leave these islands in the
rear 1 doubt il any well-considered
hostile expedition would assume such a
risk, as we would be so situated as to
give an opportunity TO make sudden
and unexpected attacks upon the
enemy's line of communication"
The fOrtifications bill also contains a
provision that material and ammuni-
tion for Seacoast defense and field ar
tllery shall be made at Government ar
senals and not by private contract.
Not more than 10 per cent Of such
material may be purchased, unless pri-
Vate manufacturers cut the prices lower
than the Government arsenal cost.

Pleads for Exempting
Savings Bank Directors

Directors in savings banks should be
exempted from the Provisions of any
hill forbidding interlocking directorates
which may be passed by Congress, in
the opinion of Edward S. Pierson, presi-
dent of the Greenville, y. J.. Banking
and Trust Company, expressed in a let
ter 10 Senator MARITIME today.
He declares that IL savings banks
were deprived of their directors who are
also directors in commercial and ma
tlonaI banks, there could scarcely be
une left in the larger communities of
New Jersey.

national and commercial bankers should

ton with savings institutions

CALLS SENATORS
ON MEXICO CRISIS
President Wilson Invites Foi-
eign Relations Committee to
Meet Him Monday Evening.

Developments of an important charaC-
ter in the Mexican situation are expect
ID 70 follow a conference Monday even
ng between President Wilson and the
Republican and Democratic Senators of
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
The President sent invitations to. the
senator's Wednesday. but all infOrma-
lion on the subject has been withheld.
Members of the committee have re-
,'eFved no intimation from the White
House as to the subject of the confer
ence. but they expect TO hear some
thing about Mexico.
Since the Huerta government default
ed on the payment of interest on the
national debt, the international compH-
cations have thickened. and many for
eign nations are looking aXiously TO the
United States TO bring order out OF the
chaos of Mexican finances.
According to one report TO-DAY Mex
leo will not be the only subject Tor con-
Eideration, but Panama Canal tolls, the
Japanese alien land controversy, the un-
ratified arbitration treaties, and the
proposed Bryan peace treaties viii also
be discussed.
First Meeting Recently.
The meeting on Monday will be the
frst of its kind since the President
called in the committee and read his
message to Congress. dealing with the
Mexican situation. Prior to that the
Foreign Relations Committee were in
vited to the White House when the
President felt that discussion OF Mexi-
can affairs IN Congress should cease. At
that time he told his callers little Of
his plans. but the gravity Of the stu
alton was emphasized by his evident
wish that moderation should mark Con-
Eressional discussion of the subject.
Many prominent diplomats in Wash
ingtOn, as well as many army and
navy officers have said all along that
r7ed intervention was the only pos
Sible solution of the Mexican tangle.
This opinion has been modified by re-
cent rebel victories. The opinion of
those, best informed in Mexican af-
fairs. is that even If the rebels en-
counter no sweeping reversals long
time will elapse before they lay siege
10 Mexico City.
ENJOYS See No Hope.
The diplomats feel that even if Car
rama. or Villa should gain a decisive
victory over General Huerta, the es-
adjustment of an orderly, constitu-
tionaI government would be as far off
as ever.
Conviction in Administration circles
that the Huerta regime in Mexico is
rapidly approaching the collapse,
which has been often predicted has
led to much discussion here Of the
nature of John Lind's conferences
with Mexican leaders. The belief is
expressed that President Wilson's
representative is surveying the situa-
lion with A view TO determining how
events will shape themselves when
The Huerta structure falls.
