DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a.
President Wilson today called
upon the secretary OF war and the
secretary of the navy for personal
reports as to the strength OF the
United States national defenses.
Though firmly denying that
such an order had anything to do
with the blunt note which the
United States has sent the kaiser,
officials admitted that the grave
international situation was one
cause of the action.
The president will study the
reports personally.
He has let it be known that
he favors navy as strong as that
of any nation in the world; and

properly in military service on
