PRINCIPLE NOT FACT,
 QUESTION AT STRIKE
Westminster Gazette Declares in Editorial Comment on German
 Reply to American Note.

Reply to American Note. London, June 1, I:o7 D. m.--'The
 German note in reply to the communi- cation of the United States concerning
 the Lusitania, the text of which is be-
 fore us this morning, is a document of
 great importance in the evolution of
 sea law, and it raises questions, the substance of which concern us all"
 says, the Westminster Gazette in an
 editorial article this morning.
 Continuing, the newspaper makes
 the point that previous to this war it
 was an unquestioned principle that belligerent who sieized an enemy merchantmen was responsible for the safety of non n-comb mbatants, whether passengers or crew. In an extreme case where, for his own safety, the belligerent sank the vessel, he still Wss under the obligation to provide for the passengers and crew. "In the early stages of the war" the West minister Gazette goes on to say. i've saw this obligation honorably ac- knowledged by the captains of the Emden and other German cruisers"
 The American note stands for this principle, the article points out. The 1 German reply argues that danger | from suspicious craft is reason for | the sinking of vessel so quickly that | her crew and her passengers are un- able to escape.
 Originally Germany said that all ceutrals entering the war zone would be liable to destruction; now she says she has no intention or attacking reutrals who are not guilty of hostile acts. Tt is evident that what is at stake is not a question Of fact, but or inciple: all facts of consequence are admitted in the reply"

Il GULFLIGHT SUNK
 THROUGH MISTAKE
German Admiralty Tells Gerard Sub-
 marine Commander Took American Vessel for a British Graft.

marine Commander Took American K Vessel for a British Craft.
 Washington, June 1.-Ambassador Gerard at Berlin has been formally notified that the American steamer Gulflight was torpedoed and sunk through a mistake. The German sub- marine commander reported that he failed to notice the Gulflight's Ameri- can flag and took her for British vessel.
 The state department announce ment says:
 'The American ambassador at Berlin reports that the chief of the admiralty staff, Admiral Behnke, has informed him that the commander of the submarine which torpedoed the Gulflight did so through mistake be- cause two boats similar to trawlers, one carrying wireless apparatus were apparently conveying the Gulflight. The commander, therefore, thought it 8 British boat and did not notice the American flag until just after giving the order to fire.
 The Gulflight was attacked in the English Channel on May while bound from Port Arthur, Texas, for Rouen, France, with a cargo of oil. Two members of the crew were drowned while taking to the boats, and the captain died the following day from heart trouble brought on by his experience.
 The steamers bulkheads prevented her from sinking and she was lowed to Crow Sound and beached for re- pairs. N..gs5s,

 ble. The next thing they noticed was Adison chasing Card down the 1 street. Adison proved the better I runner and after knocking down the fleeing man he plunged the blade of ] a small pocket knife into his arm ] inflicting a painful wound. Officer Frank Moore placed Adison under arr rest Tn court this morning the ac- cused said he could not remember
 anything that happened yesterday. Card, in telling of the assault on him, said that Adison rushed into the

 Son Knocks Dad Down Stairs.
 Fred Gilbert of South Main street is under arrest at the New Britain General hospital, charged with steal- ing a gold watch from his son George, and the latter is also under arrest charged with assaulting his father. The case has been continued until Saturday morning so that the father and son can be tried together. ,a,
 According to the family's version of the affair the father, who is always ugly when drunk, stole his sons gold watch. George, who had been drink ing 8 little too, expostulated with his | paternal parent and the latter ob- jected, trying to use a little parental | discipline of the old. school order. l George, being of the present genera ton, resisted and dealt his father a | strong wallop on tn jaw, knocking | him down flight of stairs. Officer Louis G. Quinn made the arrest. When the older man was brought into the police station he was seen to be suc- fering from a bad scalp wound and complained of pains in his back. While Chief Rawlings was question | ing him he suddenly complained that | he was unable to move and when he | turned pale the chief ordered him taken to the hospital for treatment. While his scalp wound is serious one, it is expected he will have suf- ficiently recovered to appear in court by Saturday. Young Bicycle Thief.

Hartford, June 1.-Governor Mar GUS H. Holcomb said yesterday, when questioned at his home in Southington, that he had read the German answer to President Wilson's note rather hastily as it had appeared in the newspapers, but that he considered the answer "a little evasive." In his opinion, the German government is .'sparring for time.''
 He was unwilling to hazard any guess as to what consequences, if any, the evasion and the note may have.

President Will Point Out Neces.
sity for Strengthening Army
and Navy and at Same Time
Our Duty AS Peace Teacher.
APPROVES NEW ARMY PLAN
The Subject of Revenues and
the Necessity of Men, NUM-
tons and Equipment for the
Navy AS Well as Battleships
Will Also Be Dealt With.

Washington, Nov. 23-President VIII
sons next annual address to Congress-
1t was learned definitely tonight. will
be devoted primarily to a discussion Of
national defense and the subject Of
revenues, though it will refer to other
legislative questions which the Presi-
dent expects Congress to act on dur
ing the coming session.
The President has not completed the
message. to which he has devoted vr-
tually all Of his time for the last week
He discussed subjects to be dealt with
at to-day's cabinet meeting and unaniin-
ity of opinion was reached by the Off
cial family as to what should be the
general character of the document.
Reasons for strengthening the army
and navy at this time will be emphasized
at length by President Wilson. For
| defense" will be the keynote Of his
argument. and declaring that the United
States has a humanitarian mission Of
peace in the world, he will insist that
| under present conditions, when all
| Europe is at war, the United States
must be ready to defend it's right to
independent and unmolested action.
The continental army plan proposed
by Secretary Garrison for the training
of 10000 citizen soldiers in the next
three years in annual contingents of
600 Is to be strongly supported.
In his last annual message to Congress
in which he opposed large added expen-
ditures on the army and navy the Pres
ident declared that it was proper that
young men should be given an oppor-
tunity to learn to be soldiers Sin such
times as they can command a little
freedom
He will repeat this idea this year.
and express the opinion that the plans
submitted by the army general staff call
for a standing force larger than the
country wants.
The navy plans also will be pointed
| to carefully drawn up after consulta-
| ton with experts and after taking note
of the lessons taught so far by the
European war The necessity Of provid-
ing men. munitions and equipment will
be declared as necessary as the build
ing Of warships.
The administration plans TO urge a
merchant marine bill in connection with
| the need for more auxiliarles for the
navy. and the President Is expected to
make some mention of this subject in
his message.
In addition to national defense, tho
| President will take up conservation
| measures. including the water power
and mineral land leasing measures which
failed of passage at the last session.
| He is known to be as much in favor Of
/ these bills as ever.
| Two other subjects to be included in
! the message are the bill giving a greater
degree of self-government to the Philip
| pines and rural credits legislation.

FIRE AT WOODSTOCK.
Aged Woman in Helpless Condition
Is Helped from House.

Woodstock Nov. 2.-An early morning
fire to-day destroyed the main part Of the
house on the Sarah NJ. Kidder place, cor
ner of Court street and Golf avenue, and
badly damaged the ell part. Miss Clara
Kidder. an old lady badly crippled and
obliged to keep her bed most of the time,
was the only one occupying the house at
the time. She smelled the fire which is
said to have caught in the attic, and
rang her dinner bell. Soon the neighbors
came and helped her out and saved
some of the things, but It is said that the
fire company was troubled at first with a
deficiency of water and could not save
the house. 1t is not known what caused
the fire. There was no electricity in the
house, and Miss Kidder was so crippled
she was not able to get upstairs it Is said.
There is about 1900 insurance on the house
and contents which will probably be most
~ taken up by a mortgage to the Savings
bank.

ENGLAND To HAVE
100000 MEN IN
ARMS BY MARCH
And Furthermore Will Be Ready

SO 1t Is Said Kitch-
ener Has Said.

Paris, Nov. 23.-Earl Kitchener, the
British secretary for war, in conversation
with Greek officials in his recent visit to
Athens, is reported TO have declared that
England will have by next March four
million soldiers under arms and will be in
n position to arm and provision six mil
lion Russians, and that consequently 1t
would show great stupidity to think the
war could end otherwise than in COM
plete defeat for Germany
This information is contained in an
Athens despatch to the Havas Agency.
which adds that Lord Kitchener admitted
that the declaration of war found the
entente powers insufficienty prepared for
so long a campaign, but said that the al
lies had known how to utilize the Tina
that has since elapsed to complete their
military preparations.

DANIELS IS NOT
SATISFIED WITH
co j ri MARTIAL
Rear.Admiral Little Is Acquit
ted of Charges. but Secre-
tary of Navy Disap-
proves Findings.

WASHINGTON, Nov 22-Secretary Daniels
to-day disapproved the findings Of the
general court martial which acquitted
Rear Admiral William y. Little, retired.
Of charges of negligence in connection
with his duty as inspector during the
construction Of the submarine H. No
new trial, however will be ordered.
A statement issued by the department
said that in view of the expense of further
proceedings and the admitted personal
md official integrity of Admiral Little
the findings merely had been disapproved
without reconvcning tho court.
AT important sidelisht upon the atti-
tude of Admiral Little in the performance
Of his duties as inspector" said the state
ment. is shown by the testimony OF
Lieutenant Moses wherein he states tia.
Rear Admiral Little was not easily APP
proa chab.e, and that he, Moses, was made
~ feel that his opinions and recommended
lions would preferably be made to Rea
Admiral Little's assistants; this attitude
is furth more exemplited in Rear Ad-
miral Little'S own testimony wherein he
refers to Moses representations concern
ing the battery as kicks and wherein
he states that they were Kicking all the
time about enc thing or another
The statement said that the department
dcp!ores this attitude or the part OF an
officer and continued: The court after
mature dolheration most fully and honor
ably acquitted Rear admiral Little Of the
charges, The department Is unable to
concur with the court or. after careful
review of the evidence. to ascertain the
reasons governing In its aCquittal In
view, however, of the impractical bility
and expense attending lhe reconvcning
of the court and the fact that Rear
Admiral Little is now no longer on IN
spection duty. and of the improbability
of his method being followed by other
officers on inspection duty, and in view
Of his admitted personal and official
Int gritty, the department has disaprroved
the findings and acquittal without recon-
venng the court for reconsideration
thereof"
Secretary Daniels said his chief reason
Tor disappearing the action was because
he wished to impress on older officers the
necessity of giving full weight to the
recommendations of their juniors.
