Washington, Oct. 4.-That Ambas-

retary Lansing in New York Satur-
day is satisfactory as far as 1t
goes" but necessitates further nego-
tiations over the German-American
submarine warfare controversy, was
learned today. Secretary Lansing
will ask Bernstorff to come here soon
to consider the matter in detail
The note was described as merely
not specific enough. though it is be-
lieved that it admitted the submarine
commander erred in his belief that
the liner Arabic was about to ram
him. The note amounts practically
to disavowal, however. 1t will not

TO ASK HALF
BILLION FOR
DEFENSE
Administration Plans to Ask
Great Sum Of Congress and
Manufacture Munitions Of
War on a Gigantic Scale

Washington, Oct. i,-Government
Manufacture OF armor and ammuni-
tion on a scale exceeding anything in
American history will follow the half
billion defense program which the
administration expects congress to
enact In the coming session, II was
learned today.
Leaders have assured the president
that this big program will pass, pro-
yided the heavy profits OF armor plate
and powder trusts" are stopped and
the business instead Is turned into
the governments hands.
The president and Secretaries Gar
rison and Daniels have agreed on
government manufacture, because in
this manner the United States need
not turn over its secrets of constrnc-
tion to private firms, Furthermore,
tho fact that American munitions
mills are running overtime to keep
pace with European demands also de-
termincd them as TO the advisability
OF having government control.
The question OF financing the naval
program was discussed today at a
White House conference between Pre-
sident Wilson, Secretary Daniels and
Chairman Padgett OF the house naval
committee
Battle cruisers and fast ships able

said Daniels after the meeting, at the
same time denying that he favored a
great number OF submarines at the
expense OF the dreadnaught program,
"On the contrary" he said, II
favor a balanced fleet"
The new naval advisory board will
meet the president Wednesday. at his
request At this time II is expected
he will ask their views as to the pro-
gram to be followed at the next ses.

Ours is the only country in which

S[AVS WAR
ON BU[GARS
TOMORROW
Ultimatum From Russia to
the Balkan State Has Ex-
pired and No Answer Had
Been Received Late Today

London, Oct. Russia is expect
ed to make war on Bulgaria tomor-
row, thus plunging into the world
struggle the thirteenth nation. Her
ultimatum TO the little Balkan state,
which has been feverishly preparing
for war, expired at 9 o'clock New
York time today.
That Bulgaria will either ignore
the Russian demand to send away
Teuton officers directing her mobili-
zation and openly break with Russia,
or will answer with an evasion is the
belief here. The Russian ambassador
at Sofia, with his staff, is prepared to
leave the country tonight, turning
over his interests to representatives
of a neutral country.
Greece's entry on the allies side
will follow such a move, although it
may be delayed few days, inasmuch
as Greek mobilization is not COM
plete.
Roumania's position is doubtful.
Berlin claims that she stands neutral,
but Bucharest messages have not
confirmed this claim.
Hostilities throughout the Balkans
seem a certainty during the week.
Fifty thousand Bulgarians are mass
ed on the Serbian frontier, ready for
the first blow. Athens dispatches
said three-fifths of the Bulgarian
strength would be thrown against
Serbia and the remainder against
Greece. Meanwhile Car Ferdinand
is confident that Roumania will
maintain her neutrality.
An Athens dispatch from Vienna
declared the Austro-G Germans will at
tack Serbia today or tomorrow and
that Bulgaria will assist within few
hours afterward.

London, Oct. AT the hour when
Russia's warlike ultimatum to Bull
garia expired today, Gar Ferdinand's
intentions were unknown here. It
was believed possible, however, that
the Slav demands had gone unan-
swered and that the Russian minister
and his staff had departed from
Sofia, as ordered to do If Bulgaria
did not break off with Russia's enc
mics and order out German military
officers. Petrograd, though, had said
earlier that she would accept nothing
but this complete back-down, with
pledge to sever relations with the
central empires.
Russia still hopes war may be
averted, even following such step
as the minister's withdrawal. This
hope is based upon the possibility
that the Bulgarian cabinet may
change its policy when it realizes
that If she acts otherwise the allies
mean war.
If hostilities result, however. the
Slavs may strike first, though the
Bulgarians are within few hours
march of the Serbian border and
prepared for any outcome.
The Russian fleet was reported to
be near Varna, an important Black
sea port, apparently ready for blow.
