GARRISON ,RAPs LEAGUE.
Says Good Faith 10 Impusned by Let.
ter Issued by Organization.

Washington, Sept 2.-crisp re-
joinder was made by Secretary Gar
rison to the open letter addressed to
him last Saturday by the American
Defense League accusing the Wilson
administration Of opposing oil prac-
tical efforts to put the country in a
proper state OF preparedness for de-
Tense. The letter in effect acked Sec
retary Garrison for an explanation Of
the administration ATTITUDE on pre-
paredness.
Secretary Garrison's response. which
he made public today, states that the
letter was published in the news
papers of Aug. 20 and quite obviously
was prepared and published to cause
me embarrassment" and adds:
Il am asked in it. either directly or
indirectly. to pass judgment upon the
capacity of the good faith of many
officials and other people. some Of
whom are left unidentified.
my own good faith and sincerity
are mpugned by innuendo and infer
ence.
"If anyone in this country is in any
real doubt about my position with re-
spect to the imperative necessity of
suitable and adequate military policy.
that doubt has arisen from failure to
read the many presentations of my
views, which have appeared in the
public prints. and that doubt will be
instantly dispelled when they have
read them"
Senator Tillman, chairman Of the
senate naval affairs committee, con-
ferred with President Wilson on the
administrators program for Il larger
navy The senator will support the
program. Tho White House does not
anticipate any serious opposition to
the program when definite one is de-
| cided upon by the president heads of
departments and congressional leaders.
There naturally will be many views.
| 1t is pointed out. but In the end there
Will be getting together of the forces
supporting the administration on this
problem, democrats and republicans
alike and the propositions will become
law, very much as proposed from the
| White House, it Is believed.
Intimations from official sources
were that i. would be the purpose of
the administration, while seeking en-
largement Of the army and navy, to cut
down expenditures at useless army
| posts and navy yards. thereby eradi-
cdtinS SoIHe VI tie poIh udiIeA iea
lures of past appropriations. Rigid
wedding ous Of unnecessary appro-
priations will be sought In order to cut
down the total appropriations.
Officials also assert that the presi-
dent will not commit himself to an
expenditure of $5Oo,OOo,Ooo for army
and navy increases but will back a
program that goes far enough to put
| the country on a stronger defensive
basis than 1t ever has been before.
BY eliminating g-rolling methods
for appropriations II that can be
done. the expenditures for the pro-
posed increases hardly will be felt, /;
is claimed in some quarters OF the
administration.

Said TO Have Been Caught in Steel
Net-offiesr Declares British Have
Taken Fifty Submarines.

New York, Sept. 2.-An officer Of the
White Star liner Adriatic, which ar
rived from Liverpool today, declared
that the German submarine which
sunk the Arabic had been caught in a
steel net and the crew were now pris-,
oners in England. He added that with
in the past sixty days the English have
captured no less than fifty submarines.
After stating positively that the sub
marine which torpedoed the Arabic
had been captured, the officer de-
clared he could not disclose the place
of capture. He said, however, that
the submarine was of the latest and
largest type In the German navy and
the craft carried double crew. He
understood that the Germans now
manned all the larger submarines with
an auxiliary crew for training pur-
poses.

Ne,O Peace Move
Inaugurated BY Pope
May Be Successful

Washington. Sept. cardinal
Gibbons today presented to Presi-
dent Wilson a message from Pope
Benedict, regarding peace in Eu-
rope. Later ne saw Secretary
Lansing on the same subject.
After his conference at the
White House the cardinal an
nounced he had discussed the pos
sibility of peace with the presi-
dent. He said he had conveyed a
message from the pope, but could
not reveal its contents.
Cardinal Gibbons declared that
the settlement of the submarine is
sue between the United States and
Germany had greatly aided the
cause OF peace and mad placed the
United States in an advantageous
position to bring the conflict to an
end. He said he had informed the
president that he believed this to
be true.
While the cardinal could not go
into details regarding the message.
it was indicated that it was sug-
gested that neutral powers join
with the vatican to attempt the
restoration of peace.
The cardinal said the plan was
along the general lines of recent
discussion of the question in news
papers.
After leaving the president, the
cardinal, with his face wreathed in
smiles, said he had discussed
peace with the president.
In answer to inquiries he said he
had brought message to the pres
ident from the pope. He added he
wanted to talk with Secretary
Lansing also.
The cardinal laid emphasis on his
belief that the lessening of tension
between the United States and
Germany would have much to do
with the possibilities of restoring
peace.
It was indicated that the basis
for his belief was a suggestion
that it might be possible to get an
agreement between Germany and
Great Britain for guaranteeing the
freedom of the seas, and in that
was to start a discussion of peace
terms.
The cardinal indicated broadly
that he believed negotiations soon
would be under way to end the war.
He indicated that further develop
ments might become known soon.
After leaving the White House
the cardinal walked to the state de-
partment to see Mr.. Lansing.

London, Sept. 2-The British public
has been greatly cheered by the version
Of the recent heavy fighting at the
Dardanelles contained in the official
report received last night from Gen.
Sir Ian Hamilton, the British CONF
mander- lin chief. This report has been

WILSON WILL SEEK sEcoNDTERN
Endorsement by Kentucky Democrats
Gets Official Sanction.

Washington, Sept. AL doubt that
President Wilson would be a candidate
for re ELECTION was set at rest by the
action of the democratic state conven-
ton In Kentucky indorsing him for an
other term.
The administration was advised sew
eral days ago Of the resolution which
would be presented by Senator James,
who Is a member Of the Wilson
Kitchen cabinet"
1t received approval from those close
to the president If not from the presi-
made for the Endorsement of the ad-
ministration and of the presidents
candidacy by other state conventions.
Democratic politicians are in high
feather over the diplomatic victory
won by President Wilson from Ger
many. They say it will strengthen him
immeasurably thruout the country.
In this connection they are calling
attention to the fact that Mr.. Wilson s
policy has made for peace and not for
war, as predicted by Mr.. Bryan when
he resigned. They were quoting last
night that portion Of Mr.. Bryan's letter
in which he said:
"Obedent to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government q note in which
I can not join without violating what
1 deem to be an obligation to my coun-
try and the issue involved is Of such
moment that to remain a member OF
the cabinet would be as unfair to you
as il would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart-namely, the preven-
ton of war;
1t Is matter Of general knowledge
that nothing is more likely to produce
trouble between nations than a shilly-
shallying policy. Had not a deter
| mined attitude been adopted by the
administration other Lusitania trag-
edies probably would have taken place
and the administration would have
| been forced to take a stand which
would have led directly to war. AS a
result of the firm policy the president
pursued II spite of Mr.. Bryan the
drowning of Americans by German
submarines will not take place in the
future.
So the politicians are jubilant ovel
the success of the presidents diplo.
macy. They are saying the resul
must be recognition by the country o.
I his wise handling of delicate foreign
problems. Under the circumstance!
they believe the people will insist upor
his continuance in office for anothe
term.
