They Refused to Wear Uniforms at

It Is Reported.
"cHUcKLING OVER 1T, TOO

New York. Jan. 2.-The Evening Mail
prints the following from Washington:
An Washington Is talking of the
way the Diplomatic Corps affronted Sec
rotary Bryan at his breakfast party yes
ycrday.
Furthermore. in the intimacy of their
cwn circles, the diplomats are chuckling
over the affair and hoping that some
echo of 1t will reach the President 4
that he will take notice of the way thy
treated his Secretary of State.
when invitations for the diplomatic
breakfast were sent out, they were ac-
oompanied by n strong intimation tina.
Secretary Bryan looked upon his enter
tainment as one of great formality. and
would, therefore, expect the diplomats
to dress accordingly. That meant wear
ing their fun dress uniforms and in
sigma of office.
They consulted together and agreed
not to wear their uniforms and insignia
OF Office.
There was no question in their minds
but that Secretary and Mrs. Bryan ex-
pected them 60 wear their regalia: never
theless. to a man, they all appeared u
Calumet Place, the Bryan home, dressed
in garments that an ordinary man would
wear to a noon breakfast.
This was n great shock to the Bryans,
who had gone to extraordinary expense
for decorations that tn. gorgeous uni
forms might have a harmonious setting.
President Wilson's failure to hold the
usual New Year reception upset the en-
tire social program of the diplomats.
'The White House reception has always
given them an excuse to don their uni
forms and has been the point from which
they started a round of social gayety, in
cluding the Secretary Of States break
fast. receptions at the homes Of other
Cabinet office-I, and afternoon calls upon
ladies Of the embassies and legations.
They were miffed at the President for
calling off his reception and took it out

DANIELS SEEKS
Vice ADMIRALS
Secretary Of Navy VIII Ask
Congress to Give United
States Four.
WOULD AVOID A CLASH
American Commanders May Be Out-
ranked by Foreisnes IN
Mexican Waters.
WOULD AVOID A CLASH

Impressed by the possibilities IN tne
Mexican situation, Secretary Danieis mas
decided to ask Congress to enact regis.
lation which will give TO the uniteo
States navy at least four wee adnirais'
so that in any international naval opera
tions the American commanders need
not take second or third place through
being outranked by foreign commanders.
Mr.. Daniels will take up the matter
with Chairmen Tillman and Padgett, OF
the Senate and House Naval Committees,
soon after the reconvening of Congress.
1t was learned yesterday that the rails
ing of this question was just barely
avoided during the recent hghting at
Tampico. Only the fortunate outcome OF
the affair. without the landing of any
men being necessary, prevented clash
for precedence between the American and
British naval commanders.
% Rear Admiral Craddock, commanding
the British squadron in Mexican quarters.
holds the same grade az Read Admiral
Fletcher. the American commander, but
he outranks the latter by reason of the
prior date Of his commission as rear
admiral. Had not { crisis passed with
out the necessity o. any external forces
being landed at Tampico. either Admiral
Fletcher would have been obliged to yield
to the British commander, despite the fact
that this country has several times as
many ships in Mexican waters as has
Great Britain o. else the United States
would have been obliged to ask Great
Britain to waive the claims of her COM
mander to precedence.
Might Embarrass United states.
of course there is always at hand
solution of the present situation IN
Mexico so far as precedence OF naval
commanders is concerned, by sending TO
command the American squadron rear
admiral whose commission antedates that
of Admiral Craddock. Should any OF the
European governments, however, SEND
more warships to Mexico, with vice ad-
miral or admiral in command. the United
States would be in a most embarrassing
position in case of any joint operations
II Secretary Daniels succeeds IN cptaln-
ing from Congress the desired legisla-
ton. the American naval commanders
will avoid the humiliation of being out
ranked when the international naval
payeant which is to go through the Pan
anna Canal next year assemblies at Hamp-
ION Roads France has already an
nounced that she will send squadron
in command of vice admiral. and IL
5 expected Great Britain and Germany
will do likewise
Mr.. Daniels said he had not yet decided
upon the details of the proposed legisla-
ton. but is waiting until he can talk the
matter over with the chairmen OF the
naval committees.
There is good reason to believe that
Congress will act favorably upon Mr..
Daniels request.
