President Wilson Is to Con-
suit Them on De-
Tense Planr
HOPES THEY WILL

No Definite Conference Ar
rangements Yet
Made

Washington, Nov. l2.-Republicans an
Congress will be consulted by President
Wilson on the administration plans for
national defense before the opening OF
the coming session. In line with this an
in his Manhattan club speech
in New York last week, the president
will appeal to men of all parties for leg
islation to strengthen the army and navy
Officials yesterday took the view that the
president is hopeful that his plans will
receive the support of Republicans and
thus overcome the opposition OF some
Democrats, led by former Secretary Bry-
an.
No definite arrangements for confer
ences between the president and Repub-
lican leaders have been made, but the
QUESTION will be taken up as soon as mem
bers of the Senate and House begin ar
irving in Washington. The ranking Re-
publican members OF the Senate and
House military and naval committees and
other Republican leaders probably will
be called in.
The president has already received mes
sages from a number of Republicans out
side of Congress approving his defense
plans.

GREY INDICATES
LORD HALDANE
British Foreign Secretary Says Resigna
ton of Former War Secretary Was
Loss to Public Service.

London, Nov. l2.-Sir Edward Grey
the British foreign secretary, told the
House of Commons yesterday afternoon
that he himself had expressed desire
to resign at the time Viscount Haldane
left the cabinet.
'But for crisis in the public affairs,
/ would have done So" said the foreign
secretary.
Sir Edward declared he regarded Lord
Haldane's resignation as loss to the
public service. He said he regretted there
had been no opportunity to utilize Wis
count Haldane's services in the foreign
office.
When the new coalition cabinet was
formed last May, Viseount Haldane was
succeeded as lord high chancellor by Bar
on Buckmaster of Cheddington.
Premier Asquith, answering a similar
question, also paid word OF tribute to
Viscount Haldane, saying; "He rendered
an inestimable service when in the war
Office"
Replying to a request to lay the papers
on the table respecting the Antwerp ex-
petition, Premier Asquith declined while
the war was in progress. He added;
"Mr. Churchill formerly first lord of
the admiralty may treat with indlffer-
ence the allegations against him. He has
good record and will be amply justified
when the full story is told"
