meetings will cover three days, and
many prominent speakers are on the
program.
Dr. Hugh Cabot Of Boston, an au-
thority on sex hygiene, is urging the
society to undertake campaign for
the prevention of infant morbidity.

CONSTRUCTION OF SUBMARINES
 FOR REPLACEMENT POWERS.
Government Inquiry of Bethlehem
 Steel Company.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Fornal inquiry was made today by the United States government of the Bethlehem Steel company to learn if the firm intended the construction of submarines for use by any of the belEigerent powers of Europe.
 Charles M. Schwab, president of the company, and other officials of the con- cern, in response to an invitation from the state department, explained orally their position and agreed to submit it in writing in few days. In the mean time neither they nor the state de- partment officials would disclose the extent of the company's activities.
 The question under consideration is how far American firms may go in the manufacture of materials for use in the construction of warcraft without vio- lating the neutrality laws of the Unit ed States
 According to high officials, the point which will decide the position of the Washington government will be a de- termination of the stage at which the materials to be used in the building of a vessel are delivered to beiligerent. They would not comment on where the line of demarcation would be fixed. It was generally believed, however, that the shipment at one time of all parts of vessel, even though in separate cargoes. probably would be disapproved by the Washington government.

PARAMOUNT WEAKNESS
 OF UNITED STATES NAVY.
Is Lack of Long Range Torpedeee, Says Rear Admiral Joeeph Strauss.

Washington, Dec. 2-Laols of long range torpedoes is pointed to as a paramount weakness of the United States navy by Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss, chief of the bureau of ordin- ance, in his annual report made today to Secretary Daniels. All the battle ships, except the two latest dread ncughts, the ar7nored cruisers of the Tennessee class, the scout cruisers and the older deStroyers, tile admiral says are equipped with Ia short range torpedo which may be considered ob- solete for the battle fleet"
 Since the battleships Nevada and Oklahoma were designed, however, all vessels have been provided with the modern type of torpedo and as rapid ly as possible the equipment of older ships is being changed. Private. plants are now constructing $50 torpedoes for the navy; $50 are being turned out by government yards and funds are available for $50 which will be ordered in the near future Appropriations for 250 more will be asked for this year. Accumulation of torpedoes is slow process: it takes about 12 months to complete one and many are lost every year in practice.
 Even in vieW of the serious situa- ton presented by shortage of torpe- does, Admiral Strauss thinks improve ment in the efficiency of officers and men who handle this branch of the navy's branch has not kept pace with the development of material.

Campbell, Jr. Mrs. Butler accused the defendant of hay ing reported she had purchaser for property owned by Mrs. Butler on Long Island and of requiring her to sign a document which recently, ac : cording to Mrs. Buffers complaint she discovered was a mortgage.

ANOTHER BLANKET OF

Incoming Steamers Forced to Anchor

New York.

NO DEFENCE OFFERED
 IN DAVID LAMAR TRIAL.
Case of Man Who Impersonated g Congressman Goes to Jury Today.

New York, Dec. 2.-The case of Da- vid Lamar, charged with imperson- ating Representative A. Mitchell Pal- n1er of Pennsylvania, with intent to defraud J. P. Morgan and company, and the United States Steel corpora- ton. win go to the jury in the federal district court here tomorrow.
 After Lanar's counsel had surprised the court today by announcing that they would interpose no defense, Hen- rv F, Davies, chief counsel for Lamar, summed up and Judge Sessions an nounced that the jury would be charg- ed tomorrow after the prosecution nao made it's final address.
 The trial had moved swiftly. It was only yesterday that it opened and tonight 1t was near it's close. The government based its case almost en- tirely on the testimony of Lewis Cass Ledyard regarding telephonic conver- sations which he held in February, 1913, with a man who represented himself as Congressman Palmer, but who, it is charged was the defendant. The only contentious in Lamars fa- vor were those made by his counsel today in suming up.
 while we admit that Lamar rep resented himself as a congressman, he performed none of the functional duties of one,n asserted MT. Davies He insisted that Lamar broke no law,
 
 mer's name in order to assure him. self of a hearing; that Lamars con- versations with Ledyard had no ref edence to congressional business, thus putting the case outside the pale of the statute which the defendant is accused of having violated in repre- senting himself as ''an officer of the United States and acting as such; {; and that these conversations were such as any representative member of the democratic party might have made Under the same conditions. LamaPs purpose, he asserted, was to reconcile the Morgan end United States Steel corporation interests with the incom- ing democratic administration. which was supposed to be inimica1 to "big business" and Wall stremt. He laid emphasis upon Ledyard's testimony that Lamar had said he did not want any financial reconpense and claimed that no testimony had been present. ed which proves that Lamar had att tempted to defraud any one.
 When MT. Davies concluded, Judge Sessions adjourned the proceedings until tomorrow morning.

ON CONTROVERSIES WITH BEL.

20 AMERICAN REPUBLICS
win Be Represented at Washington Object is Exclusion of HslIiserent Warshi7s from American Waters.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Grave> contro- yersies between nations of South America and the belligerent countries of Europe led today to the calling of conference for next Tuesday of the governing board of the Pan-American
 Before this board, which consists of the diplomatic representatives here of twenty American republics, with the secretary of state of the United States as chairman ex-officio, will come the various suggestions which have been made by Argentina, Chile. Peru, Uru- quay and Ecuador for a stronger asser- ton of the rights of neutrals and the exclusion of belIigerent warships from the waters of the Americas.
 Seriousness of Situation.
 Evidence of the seriousness of the situation in South America due to the presence of bell1gerent warships on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was contained in a despatch received tonight by Eduardo Suarez -Mujica, the Chilean ambassador. from the minister of foreign affairs at Santiago.
 To Guard chiIe's Territorial Jurisdic-
 ffen.
 The fear is expressed by the Chilean officials that Germany's alleged viola tlon of the neutrality of Chile may in- f1uence the. other belligerents to dis regard the territorial Jurisdiction of Chile and perhaps cause them to send their warships within the three-miIe limit to stop German operations.
 Chile Wants United Support.
 The Chilean government made it plain that it did not prefer one scheme or action to another, but urged that whatever steps are taken should have the earnest and united support of all the American republics.
 Originally Great Britain and France asked the United States to exercise its bia to secure 8 strict observance by those nations of neutrality obliga- t1ons. Although this controversy, ac- cordfng to latest reports, is being ad- Justed, the menacing situation in Chile has emphasized the dangers to South presence of foreign warships off their coast. I
 Neutral Zone in oeeaps.
 Since the outbreak of the war the South American countries have made a series of suggestions to the United States asking for cooperation in a movement that would tend to restore trade conditions. Peru suggested that neutral zone be created with merid- fans as boundaries on both the At lantic and Pacific sides of the two continents. Another country proposed the extension of the territorial juris- dtction of all countries from the three- mile limit to distance sufficient to permit coastwise trade to move un- moiested. Ecuador and Argentina ask ed that a meeting of the governing board of the Pan-American union be called to discuss questions of mutual interest to all nations in this henni- sphere. Chile brought forward a plan to permit belligerent ships to obtain ! onl" a sufficient quantity of coal to carry them to the port of an adjacent country.
 'The object of the meeting" said Secretary Bryan today, 'is to consider what action could be taken that would tend to relieve neutral countries of the burdens which the war has placed upon them.''
