WASHINGTON, January 25.-De-
spite the emphatic announcement Of
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska that
President Wilson would not favor any
amendment to the Philippine Bill which
would designate time when the Ameri.
can administration of the Philippines
would be withdrawn and the govern
ment turned over to an independent
Philippine Republic, IL now seems pos.
sible that the administration will agree
to the formal pronouneement Of such
a date and win agree to adopt
the amendment offered by Senator
Clarke Of Arkansas.
The Clarke amendment, as originally
offered, pledged the United States to
withdraw from the Philippines at the
end Of two more years, pending the
withdrawal the President to negotiate
with the other power to secure an in
ternatibnal guarantees OF the integrity
of the new republic for Ave years, dur
ing which the Filipinos could work in
safety for a settled government.
X II the administration finally decides
TO accept the amendment, 1t will be
altered somewhat The period Of
further American occupancy of the
archipelago will be made somewhere
between two and four years, with the
proyiso that the President may reserve
certain land rights In the Islands for
the use Of the United States, presum,
ably as naval bases. The amendment
win authorize the President to invite
the other Powers to join with the
United States in a pledge to maintain

tAss0ciatsd Press " rsdsrai wireieal.l


WASHINGTON, January 25. Pro
posals from the Berlin government de.
signed TO settle the Lusitania tangle
have been received at the State Depart.
ment and submitted to the President, but
as yet the United States authorities
are keeping the details of the proposals
and suggestions a close secret, and no
hint Of their real character has leaked
out. hrH - .l FElR
From unofficial sources it has been
learned, however, that the indications
are that the documents from the VIII
helmstrasse are such as will lead to a
successful termination of tho long ne.
gotiations begun shortly after the sink,
ing of the big Cunard liner with its load
Of helpless women and children by a
German submarine, and the drowning
of hundrC Is OF passengers, max. OF
whom were American citizens. sas
II is understood that Germany has
eliminated all mention of the warming
that was printed by direction of the
German embassy before the steamer
sailed from New York, and which at
the time of her destruction was taken
to mean that the Teutonic diplomats
in this country were well advised OF
the plans of Admiral Won Tirpitz, head
of the German admiralty, and knew
that the destruction of the Lusitania
had been decided upon in Berlin.
This, il is said in well informed cir
cles here, may prove last stumbling
block in the path of total settlement
of the whole affair, as il is reported
that President Wilson has rejected the
last proposals and has replied mention
ing this warning and asking explapa.
tions thereof. J

wv ASHINGT0N, January 25.-
nv Mai.Gen. Arthur Murray. re-
W tired, one of the witnesses be-
fore the senate committee on military
affairs yesterday, believes that Hawaii
should be one Of the three great naval
bases for the United States. with a
battleship feet stationed at the Is.
lands E
There should be three battieships
fleets for the navy, he said, each con
sisting of at least six battleships, with
auxiliary vessels, in order that the
American coasts may be adequately
guarded.
One such feet should be stationed
at New York, for the protection Of
the New England and Northern Allan
tic coast; one should be stationed at
Guantanamo, Cuba, and the third at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which is the
logical base for a fleet operating for
the defense Of the Pacific Coast and
Panama. n q =,
spbmart,ss Also Neses 3 - ~.
y Each important hafb6l ON both
coasts should have two coast defense
submarines, to protect it against the
sudden attack Of a raiding squadron.
An army at least three times the
size of the existing regular army is
needed for the protection Of American
territory from invasion, he said, while
he advanced the important suggestion
that the term Of enlistment Be cut
down to one year in the infantry and
eighteen months in the other arms Of
the service, with the recruits not OBJ
ligated by any definite term OF service
in the reserves. Through this short
enlistment term, with Intensive in
struction, men could be turned out able
to step back into the military service
of the country in the event Of war
with sufficient knowledge Of military
duties to enter the first line Of defense
without further preliminary training.
Coast Defense MiIitiamen
He said that experience has shown
that the coast defense militiamen are
able to learn quickly how to handle
the mortars and big guns Of the coast
defense posts and can be utilized to
advantage in the event Of crisis.
Brig..Gen. William Crozier, chief Of
ordnance, told the military committee
that the largest mobile howitzer in
the American army is Of 7.6 caliber,
and that only preliminary plans have
been made for 9.5 inch guns of this
type. No designs for a l6-inch howit-
ger, comparable to the German AZ
centimeter gun, have been made, he
said, and he commented that AVnerican
military observers indicate that guns
of this size will be necessary to de-
molish entertainments.

THIEF OF STAFF NH

The United States in case Of war must
have an army of one or two million
men or accept disaster; II could not

the United States could depend in case
Of emergency.

out in the testimony Of Mai Gen. Hugh
