Thessaloniki to port, of the breaking
of the towing lines and a subsequent
search for her in snow and fog when
the Thessaloriki again asked for as
sistance.
No direct news from the Perugia

DEFENSE MENU UP
Recipes on Preparedness Are
Served to Congress Today.
War Secretary Head Chef; Sub
marine Stew on Bill of Fare.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The question
of national preparedness again today
occupied the center of the stage in
congressional committee activity. Hear
lngs on the administrations national
defense program were begun today
before the house military affairs COM
mittee with Secretary of War Garri-
son as the star witness and the house
naval affairs committee continued its
hearing on the annual naval appropri-
alton bill.
Secretary Garrison had prepared
detailed statement of the army's part
of the preparedness plans Rear Ad-
miral Stanford, chief of the navy's
bureau of yards and docks resumed its
statement as to the needs of addition
al naval stations when the naval COM
mittee again took up the yards and
docks section of the naval bill. 1t
probably will take some time to reach
the all-important construction provi-
sions in the measure.
The general international situation,
including the crisis in the relations
between the United States and the
central powers over submarine war
fare will be considered at a meeting
tomorrow of the senate foreign rela
lions committee. The meeting has
been called by Chairman Stone. The
committee has before it today a mass
of data bearing upon Great Britain s
attitude toward neutral shipping and
negotiations with Germany over sub
marine warfare.
The information was sent by Sec
rotary Lansing in response to a sem
ate resolution. All available data on
the destruction of the British steamer
Persia also was said to be before the
committee.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing still were without definite in
formation upon which official action
in the crisis arising from the Persia
incident is to be based. Meanwhile
officials still are reserving Judgment.

LINER HAS GUNS

ragged over the Atlantic. December
30. the liner encountered what the
officers described as a whole gale, or
a wind velocity of about 80 miles an
hour, and La Touraine was forced to
heave to for twenty hours. Between
the Grand Banks and the Nantucket
shoals the liner was constantly in a
heavy storm which alternated between
hail and snow.
The guns on the Gieuseppe Verdi
promise to bring up again a point
which has been disputed since the war
began. The United States then took
the position that ships entering Amer
lean ports with guns of not more than
six inches N caliber, would well aft
for purposes of defense, would not be
considered armed. but reserved the
right to change its position in the
light of changing conditions of war
fare.
The state department later had in
formal negotiations with Great Britain
and France through their ambassador
here and asked that any guns what
ever be removed from the big passen-
ger liners coming into American ports.
The two foreign governments in
formally and also reServing their
rights, complied. Later a British ship,
the Waimana, was denied clearance
papers at Newport News for several
weeks because a four-inch gun was
mounted aStern. Still reserVlng its
rights the British government ordered
the gun removed and the ship was
cleared.
Gunners of the Royal Italian navy
We're in charge of the two guns on
the steamship Gieuseppe Verdi which
arrived here today from Genoa,
Naples and Palermo, according to the
captain, Luigi Zannoni After the YES
sci left Palermo. the captain said,
daily practice was held with the guns,
barrels having been thrown over board
as targets
Guns were placed on the Gieuseppe
Verdi by order of the Italian naval
authorities, but the captain declares
he was instructed to use them for de-
fensive purpose only.
Government Takes Hand.
Washington, Jan. 6.-The state de-
partment probably will take up with
the Italian government the question of
guns mounted on the liner Gieuseppe
Verdi with a view to having the pieces
dismounted before the ship leaves

UNIONS STRIKE BLOW

ton today, A resolution protesting
lin the name of three million trade
unionists' against compulsory enlist
ment was introduced by executives
when the Union Labor Congress met
in Central Hall, Westminster
The resolution was greeted with
cries of approval from all parts of the
hall. It contained expressions of re-
greet that the solidity of the nation
has been gravely imperiled and indus
trial and political liberty menaced by
the attitude of the couscriptionists
]. Hodge, labor member of parlia-
ment, in moving the adoption of the
resolution, vehemently denied that the
voluntary system of recruiting has
been failure. He declared near six
million Britishers have voluntarily an
swered their country's call.
The resolution, however, declared
the sentiment of the congress that la
Dor members of parliament be permit
ted to vote according to their own con-
viction. This feature was declared
pleasing to the conscriptionistS.
900 Delegates Present.
Nine hundred delegates, represent
ing 400 labor Orga nizationS, including
the most powerful unions in Great
Britain, were in their seats when the
meeting was called to order to deter
mine labor's attitude toward the con-
scription policy of the government.
The majority of the delegates were
outspoken in opposition to any form
of CONSUMPTION
One group has approved a resolu-
ton for presentation calling upon Ar
thur Henderson. labor member of the
Asquith ministry, to resign at once.
Harry Casting, trade union leader,
presided. Scattered about the hall
were a number of labor members of
parliament
Preceding introduction of the con-
scription resolution, a lengthy report
was presented, emphasizing labor's
'deep-seated and uncompromising
! hostility toward CONSUMPTION.
This hostility cannot be outraged
with impunity," the committee chair
man read, and a storm of applause
swept the hall. Especially is this true
since the wage earners have volun-
teered with such splendid chivalry.'
Congress Shows Sentiment.
London, Jan. 6.-The temper of the
labor congress was tested today by
an amendment to the official resolu-
ton to the effect that the congress
should support a measure of compul-
sion by forcing the single men to at
test The amendment was defeated on
a card vote by the overwhelming ma
jority of 2.121,000 against 541,OOO.
