oPPosEp~To WILSON'S NAVAL
 AND MILITARY PROPOSALS
Henry A. Wise, of Naval Advisory
 Board, Says They Are insufficient.

Portland, Me. Nov. 5.-Henry A. Wise. of New York, a member of the naval advisory board. in formal statement issued here tonight as chairman of the conference commit tee on national preparedness, advocat- ed rejection of President Wilson's naval and military proposals "as wholly insufficient" MT. Wood came to Portland to address a meeting called to discuss plans for the establishment of an aerial coast patrol station in Casco bay.
 "In the name of the defense move ment,' the statement reads. T un- hesitatingly call for the rejection of the naval and military proposals of the president as wholly insufficient to give us that degree of protection which en- sures peace. In this critical hour of world unrest it would be the suprema- cy of folly did America permit itself to remain weaker in sea power than the only nation that is causing it to re-arm at all.
 Therefore the defense movement holds 1t vital to the preservation of the sovereignty of this nation that steps shall at once be taken torestore America to the position of second naval power, from which through he unwis- dom of weak advisors, it was permit ted to fall and that the military plans adopted shall be those of the general staff of the army, not of the civilian secretary of war"

PRESIDENT APPROVES
 OF AERIAL PATROL
Along the Coast Lines of the United
 States.

Washington. Nov. 5.-Approval was given by President Wilson tonight to g. movement started in Portland. Me- for the inauguration of a system of aerial coast patrols along ti1e coast lines of the United States. The move ment has been started by private in- dividuals who propose to place their services at the disposal of the federal government in time of war.
 The president was informed by the Portland chamber of commerce that it had appointed committee represent ing the cities of Portland, Bangor, Wa terville, Augusta, Brunswick, Bath and Lewiston to raise $10,000 to purchase a hydro -aeroplane and the equipment of an aerial coast patrol to cover the coast from Porthmouth to the mouth of the Penobscot river. It was sug- gested that such patrol was essen tial for national defense and that the step taken in Maine might serve to encourage similar action by other states through which the entire coast line would be protected.
 The president sent the following tell egram to the president of the Portland chRmber:
 T join with the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy in feel ing 8 very great interest in the devel- opment of Nthe aerial service in this country and in hoping that your cit- izens will meet with entire success in their interesting undertaking.

ADMIRAL LITTLE APPEARS
 IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
Testified He Had Protected Govern ment from Loss by Battery Defense.

Boston, Nov. 5.-Rear Admiral Will liam N. Little, who was called out of retirement to answer before g, court
 martial charges of neglect and care lessness in connection with his work as an inspection officer during the con struction of the submarine K-2, ap- pcared voluntarily as a witness in his owc defense today. He testified that he had protected the government against loss by battery defects through a promise obtained from S. A. Gardiner. an agent of the Electric Boat company, that such imperfections as had developed would be corrected. This promise, which was put into writ ing, he said, was not an agreement and involved nothing that would prevent the navy department taking action in the matter.
 Tke disappearance of the paper on which the promise had been written was a mystery, Rear Admiral Little testified. It was one of three papers which were 'mislaid" at the same time. at the yards of the Fore River Ship, building company, where the K-2 was under construction. he said. One of these papers was the contract for the building of the torpedo boat destroyer Gushing. which was subsequently, found.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
 IN ITALIAN CABINET
Concerning the War E-ve Led to Ex-
 isting Incidents.

Rome, via Paris, Nov 5, Ills p. m.- Sharp differences of opinion have de- vel0ped in the cabinet concerning the war. These differences have not reached the extent of crisis, but have brought about a conflict in views lead ing to an exciting incident
 One of the ministers at a recent meeting of the cabinet is said to have expa essed the view that Italy's best interests would be served by assisting e movement toward the restoration of peace. This caused an angry protest and charges were made against the good faith of the minister suggesting peace. It is reported that epithets were exchanged and that one of the minis ters. overcome by indignation. threw a book a. his colleague whose sugges- ton had caused the strife.
 Tho incident is declared to have been largely of a personal nature and the cabinet and country are united, with this exception, for continuing the pres ent policy.
 While a cabinet crisis, such as those whicI. have occurred in France, Eng land and Russia, has been avoided, opinion here is divided concerning the conduct of the war, especially as re- gardS a Balkan expedition.

STATE DEPARTMENT

To Be Allowed to Move His Wounded
 Over American Territory.


 :. Washington, Nov. 5.-General Villas request for permission to move his wounded from Naco to Juarez over by the state department. Such priv ilege, the department holds, cannot be granted to forces in arms against the de facto government of Mexico recog- pized by the United States.

London, ov. 5, 10.30 p. m.-Another twenty four hours have complicated rather than clarified the situation in Greece, the attitude of the king Of which country is causing the entente powers much concern.
 Apparently determined that M. Zainis shall remain in the office of premier, King Constantine today urged him to retain the premiership. Accord ing to Athens despatches, however. M. Zafmis declined to aequiesce in kin's decision, whereupon the king caIl- ed council of ministers, the deliber- ations of which may or may not deter mine whether Greece is to align her self against Bulgaria or persist in her attitude of benevolent neutrality which means that though the allied troops may cross her soil her armies garians from Serbia.
 Fate of Nish Hanging By Hair.
 While Greece hesitates the Serbian northern army is being slowly, but surely ground down before the com ; hined pressure of the Austro-G German and Bulgarian forces. The fate of Nish hangs by hair and it is only at the southern end of the battle front that the Bulgars are meeting with any reyerses. There, according to reports, the British are cooperating with the French, but, as heretofore, these reports are unofficial and frag- mentary and it cannot be said au- thorftatively whether the British are in touch with their new enemy
 Period of Uncertainty.
 If the Bulgar-Tenton tide is to be turned, the best opinion here is that it will be some weeks hence, involving a perior of uncertainty such as pre- ceded the stand before Paris and on the Yser. But giving the entente powers months time it is argued that they can throw three hundred thousand and perhaps 100000 into Serbia, not including Russians, and with such a force not only dispute the advance of the central powers, but contest Bulgaria's occupation of Ser bian Macedonia.
 The Germans remain on the de- fensive in the east and west. Neith- CT has developed any large battle as modern battles are reckoned.
 Turks RepuIsed.
 The Turks continue sporadically ac- tive in the Dardanelles region, as is recorded in tonight's British official communication from the Gallipoli pen-7 insuia. This says the Turks launch ed attacks against the British right in the Anzac region. but that they did not defeat the British line.

Cleveland, O., Nov 5.-That most new hats ordered on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday are expected to be delivered by Saturday night was given by pr. Susan Kingsbury of Bryn Mawr college as one of the chief reasons why girls employed in the needle trades millinery and dressmaking, often are overspeeded and made to work long hours, in an address today at the na- tionad1 consumers league convention.
 The general public is responsible for conditions prevailing in trades which have short seasons and long weeks of work during busy seasons" |" said Dr. Kingsbury.
 Women and members of the Con- sun1ers' league, especially, should or der their clothing. hats and other nec- essarfes in advance so as to keep the industries they patronize in operation steadily throughout the year. Learn to do not only your Christmas shop ping. but all your shopping early"
