Jury in Brewers Probe
Asks Two More Cited
Special to The Telegraph

Pittsburgh, March ,. - Two new
presentments for contempt, one TAX
ing an entirely new phase, were made
to Judge Thomson in United States
District Court yesterday afternoon by
the Federal Grand Jury probing the
brewery contributions to political
campaigns.
This makes six men hailed into
court for refusing to produce records
and refusing to testify on the ground
that it might incriminate them.
Intimation that the Grand Jury will
be asked to return indictments for
perjury was made by United States
District Attorney f. Lowry Humes
in an argument before Judge Thomp-
son on the production of additional
records of the brewery association.
These records" said the District
Attorney, are produced now after it
had been testified under oath that all
records covered by the Government s
subpoena had been destroyed. They
are valuable now to the Grand Jury as
bearing upon the credibility of the
witness and possibly paving the way
for indictments for perjury"

Washington. March 2-"Prepared-
ness" has an ardent advocate in the
person of Rear-Admiral Austin NJ.
Knight, president of the Naval War
College, who has recommended that
Congress proceed to adopt a program
which will give US the largest navy in
the world by 1925.
Before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs he said that the United
States should construct all the naval
ships that it is capable of building
this year, and then it should mobilize
the industrial resources of the coun-
try so that more ships could be built
each year.
The officer told the committee that
he was not certain that the United
States would not have to fight Great
Britain.
You don't think there is any pos-
sibity of a war between this nation
and England do you?" asked Repre-
sentative Patrick II. Kelley, of Michi-
gan who was seeking an explanation
of why the United States should have
the largest navy.
When l note the nations that are
alleged with each other in this war
and how powers that used to be on
posed to each other are now together.
and the fact that certain elements of
unity between this nation and other
nations are rapidly becoming elements
of disunion and friction. l don't feel so
sure that we will never have to fight
England" replied the Rear Admiral,
II wish / did"
He recommended that Congress
adopt this program at once.
Six, or preferably nine. battle
cruisers of from 1000 to 50. 600 tons
and having a speed of at least tbfrtv-
five knots. If there were any ad
ditional building funds left he would
have dreadnaughts constructed as far
as possible.
Light scout cruisers of 5000 tons
each, armed with 6-inch guns and
having a speed of at least thirty
knots.
Twenty destroyers thirty or forty
submarines. one repair ship, one am
munition ship. one hospital ship. two
aeroplane ships for carrying aerial
craft Two floating dry docks, one for
each coast.
A naval base in the Caribbean and
one in the Pacific at Guam.
Increase of the enlisted personnel
OF the navy by $4,000 men.

Final Vote on Bill to
Increase Army Expected;
Peace Strength 100000
BY .fSsoeiaicd Press

Washington, March 2.-Finishing
touches were being put on the bill to
increase the army by the House Mill
tary committee to-day with prospects
that final vote on the measure would
be reached before adjournment to-
night.
Before the final vote. however, a
new effort was made to make the
maximum peace strength of the regu-
lar army 100000. Under this plan it
is proposed to authorize the President
TO bring the army up to the full
strength at any time without specific
act of congress.
another proposal already incorpor-
ated in the bill would provide for a
far-reaching industrial and technical
reserve for the lighting lines in war
time. This reserve would include
practically every profession or occu-
patton whose services would be use
full to the army.

PUT ARMED PROBLEM
BEFORE REPUBLICANS


LContinued From First Page
blazed up in the Senate to-day with
the most sensational debate of the
session in which Senator Gore. Demo-
Crat, and author of a resolution to
warn Americans off belligerent YES
sells. repeated what he characterized
as a report that President Wilson had
told certain Congress leaders that war
between the United States and Ger
many might not be ungrateful and
might result in advancing civilization
by bringing about the end of the Eu-
ropean war by midsummer"
Chairman Stone, of the Foreign
Relations Committee, emphatically
denied that the President ever had
expressed any such sentiment in his
hearing and Senator James. another
administration leader demanded to
know why Senator Gore had not
sought to confirm the report from the
President himself.
Senator Gore responded that he
had hoped the report was untrue, that
he had repeated it only as a report
surrounded by circumstances which
gave it credence in his opinion. but
that he was glad to hear it denied.
No Headway in House
The storm broke in the Senate, un-
eXpectedly when Senator Stone, an
nouncing that he was not in accord
with the Presidents demand for
defeat of the armed ship resolution,
proposed a means to let the Gore reSo-
luton come TO a vote and Senator
James announced that the adminis-
tration forces had the votes to defeat
it.
Senator Williams of Mississippi
spoke vigorously in support of the
President as did Senator Lodge, the
ranking Republican of the Foreign
Relations Committee. The debate
ended without action and the Senate
passed to other business with the pros
pect of taking up the Gore resolution
at an early hour tomorrow.
Meanwhile the situation in the
House was unchanged with the ad-
ministration leaders apparently max
ing no headway toward a vote there.
Look to Senate
Administration forces, faced with
delay in the House, turned to-day to
the Senate to carry out President Will
sons demand for the defeat of reso-
lutions warning Americans off armed
ships of European belligerents.
Chairman Stone, of the foreign re-
lations committee, announcing openly
from the floor that he was not in ac-
cord with the President on the issue,
proposed, however. that the Senate
take an adjournment instead of an
other recess and thereby get into a
new legislative day, relieving the sit
uation which 'hus far has held Sen
ator Cores resolution from coming to
a vote. His action was taken after
conference of administration leaders
who were satisfied they had the votes
to defeat the Gore resolution and

ocrat, staunchly defended the Pres-
dent.
The time has come for you and
me- said Senator Williams, ito act
on an issue chat is before us not be-
cause of any Gction of the President
but because Of what he has been COM
PEELED to confront because of constant
nagging. constant querying and con-
stant expression of opinion in favor of
the negotiations of foreign power as
against our own"
L. 5. Might End War
Senator Gore declared the impell-
ing reason for his course was a re-
port that President Wilson had told
certain congressman that war be-
tween the United States and Germany
might not be ungrateful and might
result in advancing civilization by
bringing about the end of the Eu-
ropean war by midsummer. Sena-
tor Stone vehemently denied it.
Reports to the administration to-
day were that yesterday ten members
OF the foreign affairs committee were
In favor of reporting out the McLemore
resolution TO warn Americans off
armed ships and nine members were
against 1t. There are twenty-one mem
bers of the committee. Some of those
who expressed opinions were opposed
TO the McLemore resolution because it
Q
rectly with the issue on which the
President insists on vote.
A meeting of the committee which
was to have been held this morning
was postponed until late this after
noon, when Chairman Flood will de-
liver the Presidents message The
president had no engagements with
| leaders of the House or Senate to-day,
but was keeping in constant touch and
prepared to see any members if neces-
sary.
Up to the present Mr.. Wilson has
not been asked to see any committee
of either house. to send any facts to
Congress or TO appear before Congress
in person, as has been informally sug-
gested. 1t was said at the White
House that no such questions would be
taken up until they were presented.
soft Soap" Resolution
Administration officials character
lied the proposed vote of confidence
as ''soft soap" resolution to endorse
the President and at the same time
warn Americans off armed ships. They
reiterated that no such resolution
would be satisfactory
This is a clear-cut ISSUE" said one
administration official, and we do not
want it muddled.'
There were some indications, ac-
cording to these officials, that the
Presidents stand was having the de-
| sired effect on the House. They felt
| that the culeS committee was ready to
act and that the only obstacle now
was in the foreign affairs committee
| In his talk with Representative
/ Flood to-day the President said fatty
that what was wanted was a vote on
| the McLemorc resolution or similar
one. He made it plain that he wants
| the armed ship agitation disposed OF
once and for all so it will not come up
later to embarrass the diplomatic
negotiations.
