WILSON TELLS PLANS
DISCUSSES IMPORTANT MEAS
UREs WITH CABINET.
One Hundred Million Dollars Addition.
al Revenue Needed for United
States Next Year.

Washington, Nov. 15.-President
Wilson discussed with his cabinet on
Friday the legislative program for the
coming session of congress and mat
tiers of public policy. 1t is understood
that unanimous approval was given
the presidents suggestions which are
to be carried in his annual message.
These include:
National defense program for army
and navy.
Ship purchase legislation for up.
building of the merchant marine.
Giving United States industries in
one line authority to have co-Opera-
tive selling agencies in foreign coun.
tries.
Conservation legislation to develop
natural resources.
Amendments to federal reserve act
to permit member banks to join in
establishing foreign bank.
Revenue legislation to meet needs
Of the government.
It was the gossip during the day
that Mr.. Redfield might leave the
cabinet, and that his successor would
be Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture. Carl Vrooman
of Illinois, now assistant, was slated
for secretary of agriculture.
In connection with fiscal legislation
planned it is understood the presi-
dent has agreed with his advisers
that it will be unwise to use any of
the Panama canal bonds remaining
unsold to meet the emergency needs
of the treasury or to provide funds
for the defense program.
Experts on treasury matters have
pointed out to the president that it
will be necessary next year to get
$100,000,00G additional revenues for
the ordinary needs of the government.
Fiscal experts in congress are work
ing now on plans for new legislation
to raise these funds through special
taxes without being forced to reopen
the Underwood tariff for general in
crease of duties.

LORD KITCHENER HIT ADMITS SHIP ATTACK
CHURCHILL PUTS RESPONSIBLE
ITY FOR ANTWERP ExPEDl-
TIoN ON WAR SECRETARY.
FRENCH OFFICIALS BLAMED
Ousted Sea Lord Says Whole Cabinet
Decided on the Dardanelles Cam
paian-VioIent Attack on Kitchener
by Sir Arthur Markham.

London, Nov. 17.-Winston Spencer
Churchill, former first lord of the Brit
tsh admiralty, against whom more bit
ter criticism has been launched than
any other man in the English govern
ment since the war began, made his
speech of defense on Monday in the
house of commons.
Mr.. Churchill put full responsibility
for the disastrous Antwerp expedi-
ton upon Lord Kitchener, the secre-
tary of state for war, and the FrencA
government.
The former first lord of the adj
miralty also denied personal response
bility for the Dardanelles enterprise.
"The proposition to send an expedi-
ton to the Dardanelles to open up
the way to Constantinople was pro-
foundly, maturely and deliberately con-
sidered," declared Mr.. Churchill.
1t had been charged that Mr.
Churchill acted too quickly and too
much upon his own initiative in send
ing the expeditions to Antwerp and
the DardaneIles.
AS to the Antwerp enterprise. Mr..
Churchill said:
THE idea of sending a relieving
army to save Antwerp from capture
by the Germans originated with Lord
Kitchener and the French govern
ment. That the expedition arrived
too late to save the Belgian city was
not my fault"
Mr.. Churchill declared that he al
ways consulted the first sea lord Of
the admiralty before making any off,
cial move.
Following Churchill's sensational
speech Sir Arthur Markham made the
most violent attack on Earl Kitchener
yet heard.
Markham told members of the COM
mons he was convinced Kitchener
was responsible for both the Antwerp
and Dardanelles plumbers" and that
he also was guilty of Withholding in
formation. 81 am convinced" added
Sir Arthur, that while Kitchener, who
accepts no advice, remains at the war
office we will not win this war"
Il think l ought not to leave the
country without referring to certain
incidents at the admiralty in the d.
rection of the war which occurred
during my period at the admiralty"
said Mr.. Churchill.
He declared that the Dardanelles
enterprise was framed merely by ex-
perienced technical minds. The at
tack was decided on at war council
held on January %. at which Lord
Fisher was present.
1T was a legitimate war gamble
for prize of inestimable value,
which had reasonable chance of
winning on that basis"
Mr.. Churchill declared there was no
reason ID be discouraged with the
progress of the w~r.
1--WE are passing through bad
time he said, "but it will probably
be worse before it is better"

VIENNA ACCEPTS RESPONSIBLE
ITY FOR LOSS OF ITALIAN
LINER ANcoNA.
GERMANY BLAMED FOR ACT
Rome Government In Official State
ment Declares Sinking of Vessel Is
an Act of War by BerIin--Austria
Says Vessel Attempted to Escape.

Vienna (via Berlin and Sayville),
Nov. 16.-The Austro-Hungarian adj
miralty on Sunday issued the follow
ing statement:
The foreign press is spreading false
reports regarding the sinking Of the
Ancona. The incident occurred as fol-
lows
Our submarine fired one shot before
the steamers prov, whereupon the
steamer fed at full speed in compli-
ance with orders from the Italian au-
thorities, which state that ships shall
fee or sink the submarine.
The submarine pursued the steamer
and continued firing. The steamer
stopped only after it had been hit sew
eral times. The submarine then al
lowed the passengers and crew IS min
utes in which to abandon the steamer.
on which panic reigned. However,
only the small boats were lowered and
these were occupied principally by the
crew. A great number of boats-prob-
ably sufficient to have saved all the
assengers-remained unoccupied.
After fifty minutes the submarine,
on the approach of another steamer,
submerged and torpedoed the Ancona,
which sank after forty-five minutes.
If any passengers lost their lives
this was the fault Of the crew, because
the steamer tried to escape when 1t
was ordered to stop. and even then the
crew only saved themselves, leaving
the passengers.
Foreign press reports that the sub
marine fired on the lifeboats are in
ventions. When the steamer stopped
the submarine ceased firing.
Rome, Nov. 16.-The Italian govern
ment issued the following statement
regarding the sinking of the Italian
liner Ancona:
1.-THE Ancona did not attempt to es-
cape, but stopped within a short dis
lance after the firing Of the first shell.
: The liner was torpedoed while boats
were being lowered and 100 passen-
gers were still on board.
"The submarine being German, Ger.
many has opened hostilities against
Italy without a declaration of war;"

GREECE TOLD
TERMS OF
ALLIES

With Threats Should He

Athens. Nov. iS.--In unmistakable
terms. Cochin. French cabinet
minister. today informed King Con.

toward Greece. He told the klne
what the allies offer for passing co.
operation in the Balkan situation,
what they will give for active aid
and how they will retaliate II Greece
Joins the central powers. thus en-.
dangering ominously the allies
cause. The conference with the king
followed a discussion yesterday with
Premier Skouloudis. who upon as
suming Office notified the allies that
Greece would be ''benevolently neu.
trail toward them.
After finishing his discussion with
the king, Denys-Cochin probably viii
so to Saloniki. The least the allies
ask for Is strict non-interference BY
Greece with their progress; and strict
guarantees that Greece will not at.
tempt TO intern the allies II they are
driven back across the Greek bor'
der from Serbia.
While Paris and London stated
after Greece refused the allied prof
fer OF the island OF Cyprus for hei
aid that the offer would not be re
newed. Il Is believed now. however
that the allies regard Greek assis.
tance as so valuable that the Offer
will be made again II King Constan'

fore Denys-Cochin finally departs.
Authorities pointed out today that
judging from the cordiality with
which the populace greeted Denys-
Cochin the general public is for the
allies. Whether the king will run
counter to this apparent public senti-
ment, however, is still in doubt.
