PLANS FIVE NAVY YARDS
TO BUILD DREADNAUGHTS
Secretary Daniels Would Have Three
on Atlantic and Two on Pa
ciic Equipped.

Three navy yards on the Atlantic
coast and two on the Pacific would be
equipped to build battleships under
the plan Secretary Daniels will pre-
sent to Congress He said today one
of the first dreadnaughts or battle
cruisers included in the administra-
tion's plan would be built at the Phil
adeIphia yard. where an expenditure
of $1,000,000 for equipment will be
necessary. He hopes to see the Puget
sound and Norfolk yards equipped
eventually for building capital ships.
The result would be to give the gov
ernment five yards. New York. Phila-
delphia, Norfolk. Mare Island and
Puget SOUND, where heavy ships could
be laid down. 1t would mean virtually
doubling the battleship building facili-
ties of the country, since only five pri-
vate concerns now are equipped for the
work and only three have bid for re-
cent battleship contracts.
Secretary Daniels plans that while all
navy yards shall be equipped as build
ing plants. each shall specialize for
economic reasons on some particular
line of construction.

WAR BY POPULAR VOTE ONLY.
Senator Owen Proposes an Amend
ment to the Constitution,

While Congress is preparing to strug-
gle with legislation for national de-
tense, Senator Owen of Oklahoma
would have the Constitution of the
United States amended to prevent any
war of aggression. by this nation with
out approval by popular vote. The Ok
lahoma senator viii press a resolution
providing for submission of the follow
ing amendment to the Constitution for
ratification by the states:
mo war of aggression shall be waged
nv the army or navy Of the United
States, except upon a declaration of
war by the Congress of the United

question in majority of the congress

WAR TAX AND RECESS
DISCUSSED BY LEADERS
Extension of Revenue Law May
Easily Be Made, But Further In
creases Will Mean Fight.

The extension of the war tax law and
the Christmas recess of Congress were
discussed by leaders of the Senate to-
day as matters intimately related. The
war tax expires December 81, and the
that the tax be not allowed to lapse.
Republican leaders. on the other hand,
are inclined to let the democrats have
of the existing law.
But Should there be any atteHpt to
amend this law in accordance with sug-
gestions made by the President in
order to still further increase the rev.
enues, a bitter fight will be made
against the whole measure.
J.. May Get Long Recess.
If the democrats bring in a resolu-
tion proposing to extend the present
war tax for six months. or to strike out
the present time limitation on the law,
without amendment, Congress probably
will be able to take a Christmas recess
longer than it has had for several
years. The recess probably will begin
Friday or Saturday of next week and
last until the first Monday in January.
This would mean recess from Decem-
ber II or Is until January 3.
Incidentally, this long recess Of Con-
gress will permit President Wilson to
take a longer honeymoon trip than he
otherwise might feel at liberty to take
should Congress remain in session.
If the democrats put through a reso-
luton extending the existing war tax
law it will be with the understanding
that later new tax bill will be framed
f0 fSa mr.
O bill is presented a legislative fight
long and fierce is sure to follow. Some
of the republican leaders, however,
are inclined to feel that the sooner the
taxes are put on the people by the
democrats, just so much the sooner
will the democrats lose adherents. and
if these leaders have their way the tax
bin will not be too long delayed.

TO FIGHT BANK CHECK STAMP.
Senator Tillman Prefers an Increased
Graduated Income Tax.

every time a man wrote bank

clared Senator Tillman, democrat, to-
day, announcing he proposed to fight
President Wilson's suggestion that
stamp on bank checks be included In
the war revenue law.
II prefer an increased graduated in
come tax and whenever man has an
income of one million dollars, l would
take all in excess of that" Senator Till
man added. "A million a year is

Won Fame in Chosen.

He went into Chosen as a secretary
with the army, and there rose rapidly
through his display of military and
diplomatic ability. The famous Grand
Chancellor Ii Hung-chang recognized
in him a man OF action and appointed
him Chinese resident at Seoul. This
was the highest post in the empire.
and Yuan held it when he was only
twenty-six years old. When the Jap
anese drove the Chinese out of Chosen,
he was one of the few to return to
Peking still in the favor of the court.
He rose to great prominence through
his effective reorganization of the
army after the war with Japan had
shown its weaknesses. 1t is generally
held that he assisted the empress dow
aeer in effecting coup d'etat in 1885,.
by which she wrested the throne from
the Emperor Kuang Shu, and he was
uopuIarly accused of betraying the en-
neror. The dowager appointed him
governor of Shantung. where, during
the Boxer rebellion, he displayed his
a astuteness. Invited to join the Boxer

He agreed to join the Boxer move

GERMAN ATTACHES
LEAVE j. S. SOON
Emperor William Requests
Safe Conduct for Capt. Boy
Ed and Capt. Won Papen.
OFFICERS PERSONALLY
RECALLED BY KAISER
Officials Here Plainly Gratifed Over
Outcome of Situation Fraught
With Serious Difficulties.

Secretary Lansing will in1me-
diately ask Great Britain and
France, through their embassies
here, for safe conduct for Capts.
Boy-Ed and Won Papen, re-
spectively naval and military at
taches OF the German embassy
here, pursuant to the request of
Emperor William, who person
ally has recalled the officers.
Withdrawal of the attaches had
been demanded by the Secretary
because of their alleged activities
which rendered them persona non
grata to this government.
Official announcement of Emperor
Williams action was made by Secre-
tary Lansing after receiving a COM
munication from the German foreign
office through Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador. The emperor also
cessors of Capts. Boy-Ed and Won
Papen. who will be named later. Action
on that, however, will await the
naming of the successors
Doubt as to Parole Demand.
There was some speculation here to-
day as to whether Great Britain and
France would, in event the two Ger
man attaches leave this country, de-
mand that they go under parole, pledg-
ing themselves not to participate in the
European war. In some quarters It
was thought that such demand might
be made. Officials of the German en-
bassy, however, are said to believe 1t
proper to ask for safe conduct for the
attaches without qualification, because
their successors would remove two
fighting officers from Germany.
Officials were plainly gratifed today
over the outcome of a situation which
had apparently been fraught with sert-
tary Lansing now feels free to again
take up negotiations with Germany for
settlement of the Lusitania controversy
and the cases of other foreign -dtp2eS
matte and consular officers. 1t is ex-l
pected that the case of Alexander Won
Nuber. Austrian consul general at New
York. will be the first to be acted upon.
Neither Now in Washington.
Neither Capt. Boy-Ed nor Capt Won
Papen is in Washington. Capt. Boy Ed
went to New York early in the week
and was followed yesterday by Capt.
Won Papen.
Both Will return to the embassy
within the next few days to bid fare
well to officials of the embassies and
Legations of the neutral governments
and the governments allied with Ger
many.
The date for their departure from the
United States, providing, of course, safe
conducts are granted, has not yet been
decided upon. If the request Is acted
upon promptly it is possible that they
may be on their way to Germany by
the end of the month.
officials today did not hazard a pre-
sumption as to just what might hap
pen should safe conducts be refused,
which they said seemed doubtful.
