ANOTHER MONTH
 ID RAISE THE
 SUBMARINE "A
Because Continued Strain Likely to Break Craft Tn Two Operations Are Ordered Halted and New Plan Adopted
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsFArcHI

HONOLULU, June 2.-After being raised from a depth of more than three hundred feet to within twenty-four feet Of the surface, further salvaging of the wrecked submarine F'-4 had to be temporarily abandoned on account of the danger of the submarine break ing up. Until last week the work pro- ceeded so satisfactorily it was believed the final rescue of the craft was only the matter of hours.
 Naval Constructor Furor will sail for San Francisco on Saturday to sup ervise the construction of six huge cylinders at Mare Island which will be submerged alongside the submarine, lashed to it's sides and then pumped o1t. It is hoped the F-4 will thus 1C brought safely to the surface. The new efforts are expected to take a month. and probably longer.
 Divers have established new worlds records for depth, five descents to a depth of three hundred feet having been made. Divers had entered the interior of the craft but just as it was expected that the tragic story of the F-4 was to be revealed, and the bodies of the crew taken from the under-sea casket, the workers were compelled to suspend operations.
 Recent dives showed a large hole forward in the submarine ard that the craft might break in two if the fur ther strain of lifting was continued.

MILAN, June 2.-Isabelle Wade, aged thirty seven, of Chicago, was ar rested on d charge of being an accom- plice of a Bavarian officer accused of espionage. Search of her apartment revealed a large package of correspon- dence in cipher and military maps of important strategic value in the prov inces of Alessandria, Udine, Verona and Bassano.
 A few days ago the police arrested a Bavarian officer named Martin Sche- hammer on suspicion of espionage He made several visits to the provinces of Brescia and Verona in the war zone. It was learned Schehammer had lived in several Italian towns, Milan and Rome included and had many address es. His close acquaintance with Isa- belle Wade, a singer. was discovered and the police found the woman living in an apartment here, under the name of Margherita Martello.

SAYS EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE
 ID STRENGTHEN OUR DEFENSE

George Chamberlain. chairman of the military affairs committee of the sen- ate. He said that he did not believe there are more than twenty five thousand regular soldiers in the United States today
 When the special session is called and l feel sure it will be during the simmer. l will offer new military legislation which will be intended to give us a standing army of 125,000 men, which I consider will be suffi- cient,f said Chamberlain.
 There may be other legislation recommended by the war college, and general staff. If the Mexican situa- ton is acute, I do not expect oppo- sition to any of the proposed meas ures. The president has the authority to mobilize troops and make an armed intervention in Mexico without waiting for Congress to assemble. He can call 100000 regular troops without further legislation. The strength of the standing army is now at maximum of eighty five thousand but is not recruited to this number. I do not believe there are more than twenty five thousand regular troops in the United States, for we have soldiers in the Philippines Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico and Panama

Long Controversy Ended When Committee Awards Credit for Designing Stars and Bars to Major Q. R. Smith
ORGANIZATIONS
 MAKE A REPORT
Daughter of Major Smith Presses Claim Success fully Against Nicola Marschall, An Artist; Designer Dead
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHI

RICHMOND, June 2.-The credit for having designed the first flag
 of the Confederate States-the Stars
 and Bars''-is awarded to the late
 Major Orren Randolph Smith, Of 1 LOuisburg, North Carolina, by the i United Confederate Veterans com mittee, appointed to investigate the matter The report of the committee was submitted to the reunion here today by General c. Irving Walker, of Sunmerville, $. C., chairman. 9th CT members of the committee who signed the report are Major General Thomas Green. Pine Bluff, Ark, and Major General John P. Hickman, Nashville Tenn.
 The subject has been one of con- troversy for many years and the in IVestigation and conclusions of the committee, which was assisted in gathering evidence by committees of the Daughters of the Confederate Sons of Confderatc Veterans and the Confederate Southern Memorial As sociatiOn, are considered of much his toric interest. The veterans report states that a most exhaustive exam ination of the whole matter was made.
 William Porcher Miles, for the committee on flag and seal of the Confederacy, made report to the pro Visioaal congress of the Confederate States, at Montgomery, Ala, March 4, 1861, and with this report was submitted the selected design for the flag. MT. Miles reported that some thing was conceded by the commit tee to what seemed a strong desire to retain al least a suggestion of the old Stars and Stripes The design submitted by the committee and sub sequently approved by the congress. was practically the same as the Stars and Stripes, except that the bars, red, white and red, were sub stituted for the thirteen stripes.
 The Miles report brought out that the southern people earnestly loved the old Union; that they seeded therefrom with deep regret when forced to do so to maintain their rights as a free people, and that this attachment was so strong that the congressional committee was obliged to recommend a flag closely resembl- ing old Glory"
 There were two claimants for the honor of having designed the Stars and Bars. the veterans committee states, and evidence in support of their claims was presented by and On behalf of each. The claimants were Major Orren Randolph Smith. (noW deceased), of Louisburg, N. C., whose claim was presented by his daughter, Miss Jessica R. Smith. and Nicola Marschall an artist who in 1861 lived in Marion. Ala. and is now a resident of Louisville. Ky. MT. MarschalTs claim was filed by his wife and supplemented by Mrs. Chap pell Cory of Birmingham, Ala. The testimony submitted was considered from three viewpoints: First, that of contemporaneous. or local opinion of the facts. Second, that of the direct evidence of persons, other than the claimants, as to the design ing and submission of the design to the flag committee of the Confederate congress, and third. that of state ments made personally by the claim ants.

President Wilson Formally Notifies Leaders They Must Accommodate Their Differences and Set Up Government

Statement Marks Depart ure In Policy of Wash ington Government To ward Mexico and May Mean Intervention
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

l WASHINGTON, June All the fac tions in Mexico are publicly called upon by the president in the name of i the United States government to ac- ! commodate their differences, and set up a government that can be accorded recognition. Failure to unite in q
 movement to bring peace in Mexico 1 within a very short time, it IS an nounced in a statement telegraphed to Carranza, Villa and others would con- strain the United States ito decide what means should be employed in 1 order to save the people of the south ern republic from further deVastations from internal warfare.
 Everywhere, in official and diplomat
 ic quarters and among MeXicans of varied Jennings the statement is inter
 preted as meaning the United States will bring pressure to bear first to
 unite the factions in the choice of
 provisional president and failing to bring all elements together, to give ac- tive support to those which did agree. Intervention is considered a possible ultimate development, but only if a
 hopeless condition of anarchy is fol- lowed with no remedy within the re- public.
 The statement marks a departure in the policy of the Washington govern ment toward Mexico. It was decided upon after several meetings of the president and his cabinet and a study of the reports of Duval West. Who made a personal investigation of con- ditions in Mexico and declared that none of the factions seemed capable of restoring order or bringing into power a stable government.
 The effect of the statement was to start a variety of speculations as to what the American government meant by lending its active moral support to some man or group of men, if soch may be found, in an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite, the warning fac tiOns of the country"
 In high official quarters it is eX- plained the United States has hitherto maintained neutrality as between the factions, but is now preparing to choose between them or to give it's support to those elements in the exist ing factions which gave the most promise of success. An embargo on arms and the cutting off of other means of support in the United States would be put into operation to assist the chosen elements as against those which ignored the American govern ment's demands for peace. While de- tails Of the governments policy are not vet available, it is said on good author ity it intended to restore constitutional government to Mexico after the fac tionS have agreed on a man for prOvis- ional president by first according rec ognition to Nasquez Tagle or some other member of the cabinet of the late President Madero, entitled to success i sion under the Mexican laws The ! minister so recognized would be ex- pected formally to appoint to the cabinet i the man chosen to lead the new govern | ment, in whose favor he would resign. |
