WILL MARRIED MEN
GO TO The FRONT?
Official PrOnOuncement EX.
pected Yesterday Was
Delayed.

LONDON, March 29.-(6:50 p. m.)
An important pronouncement from
the government on the vexed question
of the enlistment OF married men was
expected in the house Of commons to-
day. The cabinet met in council be-
fore the house assembled to discuss
the matter and in some quarters 1t
was expected that radical decisions
would be made.
However, as Premier Asquith. For
eign Secretary Grey. War Secretary
Kitchener and Minister of Munitions
David Lloyd George have not yet re-
turned from Paris where they took
part in the conference Of the allies,
this was not possible and the settle
ment OF the question as to whether 1t
will be possible to avoid resort to OBJ
ligatory service for married as well
as single men was necessarily pot
poned.
The pivotal point Of the situation
Is Premier Asquith's emphatic declar-
alton some months ago that he would
not remain a member Of any govern
ment which introduced general con-
scription and In the face Of this bid
ing declaration it would seem that
conscription of married men could
only come about by the disappearance o
Of Mr.. Asquith from the ministry. It

EIGHT new SHIPS
NEEDED THIS YEAR
Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt Departs From Ad-
ministration's Plan.

WASHINGTON. March .9.-Appro-
priation by congress Tor eight new
capital ships this year. double the
number proposed in the administra-
tons five-year navy program, was
recommended by Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt today in concluding his
testimony before the house naval
committee. Secretary Daniels will
appear tomorrow as the last witness
to be heard before the committee be-
gins drafting its bill. His examination
is expected to require several days,
Mr.. Roosevelt explained that the
recommendation for eight ships i'm
mediately represented his personal
views and not those of the depart
ment
81 believe the government and pri-
vate yards could take care of eight
capital s'ips this year" he said. II
personally think 1t would mean a
groNt step for the moral effect upon
the country and also our international
relations. If Germany should con
tinue to build at her present rate of
three ships a year our program would
not quite catch up. but would mean
a gain. We would probably pass
France. with which we are now neck
and neck"
Questioned about Japan's navy Mr..
Roosevelt said both Japan and Ger
many We're reported to have secret
building funds and programs. Rep
resentative Farr OF Pennsylvania
asked how much stronger the Ameri
can navy was than the japanese.
THAT depends on the scene OF op-
crations," replied the witness. "If
the fleets We're kept apart we are
about three to two If the operations
were in japanese waters we are about
equal. Japan would probably be SUI
perior in extreme western waters. If
they attempted to come over here
the conditions would be reversed"
Emphasizing need for battle crui-
sers the assistant secretary said dread
raughts had won the principal victory
in Europe without firing single shot
by keeping the seas clear of the enemy
fleet. He expressed belief that there
was n possibility of the United States
being involved In war even after n
European peace and declared that the
nation was "richer and weaker than
ever in history" with great potential
resources, but unprepared to with
stand an immediate martial shock.

Act Under secret Orders.
1t became known during the day
that state department had heard un-
officially the suggestion that German
submarine commanders were acting
under secret instructions, such as
were advocated by Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz. to torpedo every vessel, neu-
trail as well as belligerent, approach
ing the British isles. There had been
no official confirmation whatever of
the secret order report. However,
the number of disasters which have
oVertaken unarmed merchantmen re-
Gently, including those under neutral
flags, caused some officials to credit
the suggestion that orders of some
kind other than those of which the
United States is advised are in effect.
What is described in high admin
istration circles as the extreme gray
ity of the situation makes 1t neces-
sary for the United States to proceed
with the utmost care in preparing
for the next tsep. Especial effort is
being made to have all the essential
facts in each case developed from the
best testimony and evidence available.
While all the recent cases under
investigation will play important
parts in the final consideration of the
situation the case of the Sussex un-
doubtedly will form the cardinal fea-
ture. Officials are impressed with
the completeness of the evidence
available regarding details of the Sus-
sex explosion. the declaration of pas
sengers that they saw the wake of a
torpedo and above all, the fragments
of metal which were found and which
have been described as parts of a tor
pedo. These pieces of metal will be
examined by American EXPERTS

cincts already counted.

II talked by telephone with Chester
p. Rowell. Republican State chairman
OF California, this morning and he
said he had received returns from
every county in the State and that
Hughes has won-in California by
about 10000.
I'm Indiana the leaders with whom
talked assured me that the Repub-
licans had the State by at least 10. 900.
IN Minnesota the Republican leaders
are certain that Hughes has carried
the State by about 10000. I also re-
ceived positive assurance to-day from
Republicans who are in a position to
know that North Dakota is safe for
Hughes. Counting the electoral votes
from these States. Hughes will have
2T2 or six more than the necessary
266. In addition to these States

hopes of winning in Missouri and Ore
