and more was put down by it.

BERLIN SENDS NOTE ON
SAFETY OF SEA-GOERS
Contents Secret. But Impression
Grows that Reply Is Favorable.
FRYE Case at Issue.

Formal answer was given by Germany
today to the question put to her by the
United States whether she claimed the
right still to turn ship passengers lose on
the high seas in open life boats before
torpedoing merchant vessels.
1t came in the form of a note designed
primarily to arrange details for the arbi-
tration by special commission OF the
questions of indemnity and treaty inter
pretations involved in the controversy
over the sinking last January of the
American grain ship William p. Frye by
the German commerce raider PrinZ Eitel
Friedrich. now interned at Norfolk.
Secretary Lansing declined to make the
rote public for the present. And while
1t was turned over for examination TO
Counsellor Frank L. Polk. who went to
New York yesterday afternoon, the i'm
preston exists strongly in State Depart
ment quarters that Germany has given a
favorable response to the question re-
garding the placing OF passengers and
other non-combatants in open life bots.
This impression was based on an advance
summary of the note cabled to Washing
ton about two weeks ago by Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin, although there was a
disposition in some quarters to regard
Secretary LansinS's refusal to make the
uc oe public as evidence that it was
unfGvorable. and that Germany had SIM
Fly ignored the life-boat question on the
grouLd that il was not material to the
Frye case. Officials of the Department
who examined the advance summary
carefully declared that while there was
some doubt as to exactly what the note
would say on this point the predominant
opinion was that it would be favorable.

Plan TO RUSH
OMNIBUS BILL
Democrats May Reduce Other
Expenses to Help Big Arm
ament Program.
WILSON NOT CONSULTED
Buildings and Grounds Committee
Would Cut Extraneous Appropria-
tons to Prevent Heavier Taxes.
BY JOSEPH p. AMIN.

A lively session is brewing for the defi-
cit-harried Democrats, who are seeking
to curtail all public buildings and rivers
and harbors appropriations In order TO
put through the increased army and navy
programs with as little increased taxa
ton as possible.
The public buildings and grounds COM
mittee of the House virtually determined
at its last meeting to report out an ON
sure-fire passage variety that would be
difficult to defeat. At the organization
meeting of the committee. it was pro-
posed that a subcommittee be appointed
to confer with the powers that be and
ascertain IL an omnibus building bill
would be permitted. It was strongly in
dicated that President Wilson was an i'm
portant one of "the powers that be"
This proposal met with instant disfa-
vor. One member of the committee took
the floor and declared that as a commit
tee Of the House, charged with important
responsibilities. the committee should de-
termine for itself whether 1t desired to
report out an omnibus bill. and having
reached a decision ''go through" with 1t
as far as lay In its power. This was the
attitude of a majority Of the member
ship, and this is the program which will
be followed.
Wants 1t Passed Soon.
Mindful Of the fate Of the rivers and
harbors bill in the Senate last session.
the committee will report out its bill and
attempt to pass II at an early date with
view to guarding against its being
talked to death or to a mere skeleton in
the closing hours Of the session.
Chairman Clark said yesterday that he
believed the committee would not at
tempt to report out a large bill. but would
merely make authorzatio for the con-
struction Of a few buildings in vari-
Gus sections where growth Of govern
ment activities have made added room
imperative. The difficulty OF putting
through such a program lies in the fact
that only by offering inducements to
members in all sections of the country
would 1t be possible to insure the pos
sage of a public buildings bill in the face
Of opposition from Democratic leaders.
Votes for a public building or river and
harbor omnibus bill in many instances are
forced by placing before a member the
alternative of voting for the bill con-
tanning an item desired by his own con-
stituency. or going on record as oppos-
ing the item OF supposed benefit to his
own district Something more than 20
votes or pairs would be necessary to
the enactment OF an omnibus bill, which
by common consent and custom are
passed without recourse to a record vote
but merely on a count by tellers.
