WILSON MAKING
INQUIRY INTO
U. 5. DEFENCES
Plans to Propose Naval
and Military Programme
to Congress.

Washington, July %. President
Wilson has called for reports on the
subject of national defence. These will
be made to him personally by the
heads of the War and Navy depart
ments. The fact that this action had
been taken became known tonight
after the release for publication of
the note to Germany relating to sub
marine warfare.
Without regard to present day con-
troversies, the President. in associa-
ton With various heads of depart
ments, has been giving consideration
for some time 10 the preparation of a
reasonable and adequate naval pro-
gramme which he will propose TO Con-
gress at the proper time. He will
study this subject on his visit TO Cor
nsh, y. H., and when he again re-
turns here may be prepared TO discuss
it with mis- advisers.
For the time being the President
feels that it is desirable to drop all
discussion of the controversy with Ger
many, now that the object of this
weeks visit to Washington has been
ACCOMPLISHED, and he is turning 10
questions Of permanent national pol. y
Practical advice concerning national
defence from every available profes-
sional source is being sought. II IS
known, in fact, that the best minds OF
the military branches of the govern
ment have been at work on these mat
ters for some time.
Men of the army and navy who have
been most directly in touch with condl-
,ions of defence that have been evolved
out Of modern experience have been
called on for their views. The Presl-
don't not only wishes advice from those
who have knowledge OF actual condi'
tions of warfare existing IN Europe
to-day. but he is seeking light from
those who are able 10 understand and
comprehend all possible phases Of al
tered conditions on both land and sea
He particularly wishes the navy tc
stand upon equality with the mos
efficient and serviceable fighting se'
force maintained by any power.
As TO the army il is known that thu
President is preparing TO incorporate II
his next message TO Congress a defnit,
programme relating TO the development
and equipment OF this branch Of tn
service. 1t will provide plan for th'
proper military training of citizens IL
every way consistent with American
traditions and national policy, AM
which the President believes will com
mend itself 70 all patriotic minds. II
this matter the President is working
with the Secretary of War and his pro
fessional associate. Il is understoo,
that on this portion of the President
general national defence programm
some very definite conclusions alread
have been reached.

The issue is sharply defined. Ger
many must abide by international
law in her relations with this coun-
try, regardless of what justification
she may have for retaliation against
Great Britain. Any future contra
vention of the law of nations will,
when it affects American citizens,
be regarded as deliberately un-
friendly"
Strongest Terms Yet Employed.
1t is pointed out by diplomats that
this phrase is stronger than any
heretofore used in notes to Germany.
The warning that Germany would be
held to a "strict accountability" and
the statement that this government
would not "omit any word or act"
are regarded as phrases of far weak
er significance in diplomatic lam
guage. The proclamation that MO-
lations of international law will be
considered as deliberately unfriend-
"" is tantamount, diplomats say, TO
threatening, at least, severance OF
relations, if not a declaration OF
war.
The note does not recede in any
legal sense from the position taken
in the two previous notes. 1t does.
however, abandon the request for as
surances that American rights will
be respected. Instead, it asserts
those rights. This, many officials be-
lieve, is what should have been done
in the first place.
Advantage is taken of the admission
by Germany that her submarine cam
paign is a retaliation 20 point out that,
as retaliatory measures are by their
nature extra-legal, the German govern
ment is in agreement with the United
States on the matter Of principle. The
United States, however, asserts that ex-
tra-legal acts cannot be committed
against neutrals.
The note insists that when retaliation
cannot be practised without infringing
the rights Of neutrals it should be
abandoned. It's continuance would, in
such circumstances, constitute Pan un-
pardonable offence" against the neu-
trails affected.
"PrincipIe, Not Expediency."
Germany's plea that the invention Of
submarines has created new conditions
which were not foreseen when present
laws were formulated is quickly dis
posed Of by the statement that the
rights of neutrals in time OF war are
based upon principle, not expedieney,'
and at is the duty Of belligerents 20

church bells.
The emperor and his immediate suite
drove thru the long street to Polish
