REPORT Of NAVAL BOARD
At CALL OF COMMITTEES
Secretary Daniels Says Congress Can
Have Full Statement, Though
Conclusions Have Been Printed.

Secretary Daniels today said he would
submit to the naval committees Of Con-
gress. II they desired. the full report
Of the navy general board prepared in
July of this year In answer to his re-
quest for a statement Of naval policy
for the government. In his letter Of
resignation Henry A. wise Wood said
this policy should be substituted for
the administration's program.
The substance Of the boards conclu-
Mr.. Daniels in his annual report, which
quotes a paragraph from the July
statement to the effect that the navy
should equal the strongest in the
world by not later than 1926.
The board also submitted building
program for 1917 involving, it is said,
an expenditure of $500, ,0OO, 900 for new
ships and said that II the program
were followed out in succeeding years
the desired result would be obtained in
1925.
Details Furnished on Request.
Details of that part Of the July
statement, Mr.. Daniels said, would be
given to the congressional committees
IL asked for.
Wnile navy OmclalS are uhWilllH8 10
discuss the boards statement OF policy
in advance of it's publication. 1t is in
dicated that the possibility that the
United States might be called upon to
meet enemies in both the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans simultaneously was con-
sidered in reaching q conclusion.
The first years building alone, under
the program, it is reported. would equal
the entire five-year administration pro-
gram in cost. approaching $500.000,00o.
Would Tax to the Limit.
Secretary Daniels thinks the admin
istration's plan of four capital ships the
first year-two dreadnaughts and two
battle cruisers-would tax the building
of the nation to the limit. This
was one of the important factors con-
sidered, he says. in arriving at the fg-
ures to be presented to Congress.
At present only Ave private yards and
one navy yard are equipped for battle
ship construction, although it Is plan
ned to add another navy yard to the list
this year and probably three others in
the Dear future.

FIT FOR POST At
SAN DOMINGO
Charge Made That Admin
istration Was Influenced
by Financial ESploiters
in Making Appointment
in Dominican Republic
Probe Being Conducted
in New York.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. 14.-Assertions that
changes made by the present Wash
ington administration in the personnel
of United States officials in the Domi-
nican republic were due to the influ-
ence of interests seeking to exploit
Dominican finances were made today
at an inquiry conducted by Senator
elect Phelan, of California, to deter
mine whether James M. Sullivan, the
American minister, was fit to hold his
post.
Secretary of State Bryan was &C
cused of lending his ear in appointing
Sullivan to Samuel M. Jarvis and q
coterie of New York ffnanciers who
controlled the Banco National Bank of
San Domingo. This bank was alleged
to have been without standing on the
island, and that the institution sought
to obtain the deposit Of customs du-
ties, the collection of which is adj
ministered by the United States gov
eminent
William E. Pulliam, receiver general
of customs at San Domingo, and Wall
ter w. Wick, who succeeded Pulltam
as receiver general, were witnesses.

TRY TO ARRANGE
FOR COTTON TO
GO TO GERMANY
State Department Seeks to
Have Steamship Make
Voyage on Basis of Tenn
porary Voyage-Proposal
Being Considered.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE state de-
partment is trying to arrange with
the British government for the i'm
mediate dispatch OF the steamship Da-
ella from Port Arthur, Tex, to Rotter-
dam with a cargo OF cotton on the
basis Of temporary voyage The
question of principle Of the right of
transfer of belligerent- owned ships to
American registry will be waived If
the Dacia is privileged to make this
one voyage free from seizure
The arrangement was proposed to
Ambassador Spring Rice today by So
licitor Johnson of the state depart
ment, who stated that contracts of
American cotton growers for delivery
Of the Dacia's cargo to German firms
at Bremen within limited time would
be lost unless the ship were allowed
to proceed now.
AS the British government had OBJ
jected to the transfer of the Dacia's
registry and to her sailing between
Texas ports and Bremen, the state
department sought to meet the diff
Guilty and leave for future adjustment
the larger question Of the legality of
the transfer by changing the destina-
ton OF the ship from Bremen to Rot
terdam in q neutral country, whence
the cotton may be transferred by rail
or lighters to Bremen.
1t is understood the arrangement is
to apply only to one round trip Of the
Dacia and that neither side to the ne
gotiations thereby sacrifices any ques-
ton of principle.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice has transmit
ted the proposal to his government.
The British government has offered
to allow the former German steamship
Schneefels. now at Gibraltar, to pro-
coed to an American port with her
cargo destined for the United States
if she is recognized as a British vessel
upon her entry. The Schneefels was
seized by a cruiser and brought be-
fore a British prize court at Gibraltar,
declared a prize and forfeited to Great
Britain. Her cargo, however, having
already been purchased by the Ameri-
can consignees was held to be neutral.
AS there was no neutral ship at Gil
braltar free to bring the cargo to the
United States, the British government
consented to allow the Schneefels to
that British registry be recognized.
State department officials have not
found their way clear to agree be-
cause of uncertainty surrounding the
transfer of flags by belligerent-owned
ships. The question is still under con-
sideration.

. London, Jan. 14.-The reverse OF the
allies along the Aisne in the neighbor-
hood of scissors was admitted in the
latest French official statement The
possible effect. however, of the Ger
man advance is officially minimized.
After continuous engagements which
lasted nearly two days, the Germans
forced the French to yield in front of
zregny and east OF Grouy. The French
war office explains that the flooding of
the river Aisne destroyed several
bridges; thus made precarious the
communications Of the troops operat-
ing on the right bank. These troops
were withdrawn as it was thought inn
possible to send reinforcements to
their support.
Emperor William himself was pres
emit at these operations, which resulted
in the capture of several thousand
French prisoners.
The Russian official report claims
progress against the Germans on the
right bank OF the Lower vistuia, say
ing the enemy's cavalry, was repulsed.
On the other fronts the fighting con-
sists largely OF skirnishes and artil-
lery duels.
The general stair Of the Russian eau
casus army devotes its statement to
operations at Azerbaijan where, it ex-
planned. 1t became expedient to re-
group the Russian forces, necessitating
the evacuation of certain places pre-
viously occupied. 1t adds that no i'm
portant action took place.
British aviators early this week
dropped bombs on German positions
at Antwerp. according to a Neither
lands newspaper dispatch. The dam
age was not ascertained. Eighteen
Russian generals have been dis
charged from important positions, ac-
cording to the Hamburg Fremdem-
blatt.
Geneva reports that members of the
Austrian nobility and aristocracy and
Viennese financiers are depositing
large sums Of money in Switzerland
and are also giving orders for the
purchase of ammunition supplies.

of two years would be ended. His
resignation was sent to Secretary Of
State McCown, and was supplemented

cheered the announcement of the gov
ernor's resignation. No formal action,
however, was necessary. BY direction
of the presiding officers OF the house
and senate, the message was received
only as information.
Lieutenant Governor Charles A..
Smith was Immediately sworn In as
governor, Chief Justice Gary of the
supreme court, administering oath. He
Immediately went to the governors
Office, accompanied by Blease, and
other state officials. No previous In
timation had been given OF. Blease's
intended action, and no reason is as

ponents of Blease. 1t was said pro-
poSalS to institute impeachment pro-
ceedings against him We're made at a
meeting of legislators Tuesday night,
but were abandoned.

to approximately one thousand paroled
prisoners, this action restoring them to
citizenship. Superintendent Griffith, of

only for the purpose of accepting
some other office. Blease made no
announcement of his ruture plans.
