INCREASING SENTIMENT
FOR MORE SUBMARINES
Representative Padgett Tells Secre-
'orv Daniels of Feeling in Congress.
Four-battleship Program.

Representative Padgett, chairman of
the House Committee on Naval Affairs
told Secretary of the Navy Daniels YES
terday that there is a strong sentiment in
Congress for increasing the number Of
submarines in the United States navy.
This sentiment is partly due to the feats
Of the German submarines in the wsr
with England.
The Navy Department is not oyeren-
thusiastic at the development Of this
sentiment among members of Congress,
as it is felt that proportionately, the
United States navy is adequately supplied
with submarines.
Last week Secretary Daniels issued a
statement showing that the proportion
Of submarines in the American navy was
exceeded only by the propOrtionate num-
Der in the French navy. Many officers
fear that Congress will constitute itself
into board Of naval strategy and direct
the construction of a great number OF
submarines at the expense of appropria-
tons for vessels OF the Dreadnought and
other types, which, it is felt are much
more needed.
The general board OF the navy is de-
laying its annual report with recommen-
dations as to building program this year
in order that advantage may be taken of
events in the war in Europe. 1t is known,
however. that the board will recommend
the construction of four battleships this
year, though not with much expectation
that this recommendation will be ap-
proved.

OFFICIALS PERPLEXED
BY GERMAN ATTITUDE
Won Bernstorf's Reiteraton of Right
to Invade Canada Puzzles
State Department.

officials here are greatly perpIexed over
the reiteration by Count Won Bernstorff,
the German Ambassador. and DR.. Dern-
berg, a former German Official now In
New York. Of their statements that
Canada il now open TO invasion by Ger
many because II has forfeited its right TO
protection under the Monroe doctrine by
participating in the war in Europe.
Ambassador Bernstorff yesterday sup
plemented his previous informal talks
on the subject OF Canada with this official
statement:
The German point OF view Is that, by
Joining in a European war, Canada has
put herself outside Of the pale Of the
Monroe doctrine. But Germany. has not
the intention Of attacking Canada nor
colonizing Canada"
While IT is admitted at the State De-
partment that the German contention re-
specting Canada is novel. 10 say the least
the matter Is not regarded as in any
way an issue at the present time. The
opinion is held here that II will be quite
time enough to discuss the probability
or improbability Of a German invasion
OF Canada at the moment that the Ger
mans are able to send ships TO sea and
are not otherwise engaged in Europe,
particularly as the Ambassadors an
nouncement that Germany considers an
invasion OF Canada would not be in vio-
latiOn Of the Monroe doctrine is accom-
panied with the statement that Germany
has no intention Of attempting such an
invasion.
A further statement was issued at the
German Embassy yesterday with regard
TO the note sent to the State Department
on September last, denying reports that
Germany intended, II victorious. to seek
expansion in South America. The state
ment was earlier made that this no'e
was sent by the German government be-
cause Of the fact that the British gov
ernment had brought to the attention Of
the state Department the charge that
Germany intended. IL victorious. to seek
expansion in South America. This charge
was denied at the British Embassy. and
also at the State Department. In eXpla-
nation the German Embassy yesterday
made the following statement:
THE note was written at that time be-
cause Winston Churchill had said, in mis-
message to the American people. that Il
Germany was victorious in the present
war she would attack the Monroe doc
trine."

Carranza is now willing TO retire from
the Provisional Presidency Of Mexico, ac-
cording to advices received here.
The first chief, however, is prepared to
insist that he be left free to become a
candidate for the Presidency by popular
election. Statements received from Mexi-
CO City indicate that Carranza is bc-
ginning to appreciate the fact that the
Aguas Calientes conference is likely to
express preference for another, and is
prepared to accept gracefully such action
by the convention.

Is assumed that the convention resumed
its proceedings yesterday with the ar

Juan Urquidi, who has been placed in

action was partly the result Of the repu-
