Washington. = Announcement from
the White House that President VIII
son had directed Secretaries Garrison
and Daniels to report to him a pro-
gram of national defense caused wide
spread comment.
1t became known that several weeks
ago the President discussed the ques-
tion at length with his Cabinet with
the immediate result that both the
War and Navy Departments began Sc
cret preparation of plans to meet any
emergency and also to establish per-
manent policy to be presented to Con-
gress for adequate national defense.
The White House gave no reason
for the announcement. stating merely
that the President would confer on his
return from Cornish. N. H.. with Sec
retaries Daniels and Garrison, TO
formulate a sane, reasonable and prac-
tical program of national defense"
1t was indicated clearly, however,
in official quarters that the determi-
nation to expedite such plans as were
being made resulted from a consider
alton of the many possibilities of the
present international situation,
Among army and navy officers who
are familiar with the latest develop
ments and who are enthusiastic over
the backing which President Wilson
is giving the program as so far de-
veloped. the belief prevailed that a
military budget practically double
that of last year would be presented.
The army, it was believed, would
seek at least s2O0,0O0.00O and the
navy perhaps as high as $250,000,000.

Washington. J u Y 27.-Destruction
of the American ship Leelanaw by a
German submarine drew sharply to
the attention of officials of the U. S.
govepnment the fact that Germany
was insisting on her own inter
probation of the Prussian-Americap
treaty of 1928 in disregard of two
American notes on the subject.
In three instances of American
ships destroyed or damaged-the Gulf
p. Frye-Germany has agreed to pay
damages-and in the last case the
Berlin government took the position
that it had not violated the treaty of
1928 but had exercised a right given
by inference from the language of the
pact.
Messages from American Consul
Dennison at Dundee. Scotland, and
Consul General Skinner at London,
telling of the torpedoing and sinking
OF the Leelanaw were received at the
State Department. The messages said
all the crew were saved and landed
at Kirkwall.
Consul Dennison's message said:
American steamer Leelanaw of
New York, from Archangel to Belfast,
with flax. torpedoed and sunk by
German submarine. July %. Whole
crew landed at Kirkwall. in their own
boats. Have instructed the consular
agent to send them to Dundee imme-
diately"
Consul General SINNERS message
was almost identical.
A dispatch from Kirkwall to the
Central News agency says that after
the members of the crew left the Lee
lanaw about a dozen shots were fired
at the steamer. They failed to sink
her. however. and she ultimately was
sent to the bottom by a torpedo. The
members of the crew were taken
aboard the submarine, the dispatch
adds. and were well treated. When in
sight of the Orkney Islands the men
were ordered to return to their boats,
and the submarine disappeared.
The episode has created widespread
discussion in England. coming, as it
did, almost coincidental with the de-
livery of the American note to Ger
many.

to the north, where the adherents of
DR.. Rosalvo Bobo, who wss expelled
from Haiti, have been striving for
several months to break the power of
the Haitien president, Gen. Bilbrun
Guillaume.
One hundred and sixty men includ
ing former president OF Haiti, Gen.
Orestes Zamor, were executed, by or
der of Gen. Oscar, governor of Port
au Prince, who later in the day was
dragged from the shelter of the Do
minican legation and riddled with
bullets
President Guillaume and the men,
bers of his family have taken refuge
in the French legation, an attack upon
which has been threatened the presi-
Dental palace has been partly de-
stroyed after an attack which lasted
for hours. and the revolutionists are
in possession of the city.
How many persons have been shot
down in the streets and the govern
ment buildings cannot yet be learned,
but the exchanges between the loyal
supporters of the president and the
rebels were carried on with furious
determination on the one side and
desperate resolution on the other.
Eventually President Guillaume,
Gen. Oscar and the chief of police,
who were defending the palace with
staff. and other troops who had re-
manned loyal, were obliged to flee. At
that time one section of the palace
WAS burning
Port au Prince has been in a state
of panic for days. No one knew when
he might be cast into prison; there
have been wholesale arrests. appar-
emily caused by order of the presi-
dent or some of those close to him.
1t was in March. 1908, that SINH.
lar execution of political prisoners
though not by any means of SO great
an extent, took place. Nord Alexis
was then president of Haiti.
Guillaume began by causing the ar
rest of all Haitiess of any wealth OF
position without distinction of age OF
sex, and expelled all foreigners.
Haitien women have been arreste'
on the streets and taken away tc
prison. On July 18th French actress
Madame Taldy, was treated in this ar
bitrary manner.
Rear Admiral Caperton, United
States Navy. has been in command o.

The French also have had cruiser
on the Haitien coast.
