Within Three Weeks Is to
Go on the House
Calendar
REPUBLICANS so
INFORM WILSON
All Opposed to the Cont
mental Plan for
Army

Washington, Feb. H. Republicans OF
the House military committee assure
President Wilson that strong army in
crease bill, drafted in non. partisan
spirit and accomplishing all the main OBJ
jects sought by the war department plan,
will be on the House calendar within
three weeks at most They told him,
however, that the committee was VIZ
tually unanimous in opposition to the
departments continental army scheme.
The only difference of opinion was ON the
question of the continental army. The
president was informed that while the
committee opposed the continentals,
scheme was in process Of formulation by
which the members felt certain the Ma
tional Guard could be welded into an
effective instrument of national defense
and brought up 10 the strength believed
necessary by military experts.
Mr.. Wilson stated his own preference
for the continental plan. He made no
effort however, the White House visitors
said later. to sway them in their opin-
ions beyond stating his own belief, based
on that of his military advisers, that the
state troops would not serve national
needs as efficiently as the proposed pure
Nv federal force would do. The only ur-
gency in the presidents remarks, it was
stated, was his plea for quick congress
sional action to put the country in a
state of adequate defense. based on
sound military policy, and his desire that
party politics be not allowed to cloud
what he considered vital national issue.
He found his hearers in hearty accord |
with him in both desires.

State Department Considers
New U-Boat Prob
lem

London, Feb. l2.-New issues, as grave
as those revolving about the sinking OF
the Lusitania, may arise between the
United States and the central powers,
officials here declared yesterday, as the
result of the German announcement that
all enemy armed merchantmen will be
treated as warships and torpedoed with
out warning after Feb. 20.
Austria, according TO an Amsterdam
despatch yesterday, has handed to the
American ambassador at Vienna a note
almost identical in text with the Ger
man communication.
II was stated on reliable authority
yesterday that England and her allies
under no circumstances will yield the
right to arm merchantmen for defensive
purposes, a practice recognized by all ma
tions. II is not believed here that the
United States, having already recognized
this right, viii change her policy in the
middle of great war.
Should German or an Austrian sub.
marine, acting under the new instruc
tions, torpedo without warning and sink
a British or French liner carrying Amer.
lea passengers, the United States, it is
believed here, will take prompt and de-
cisive action.

ments charging Henry Siegel, depart
ment store owner, and his Boston man
sger, Frank E. Vogel. with larceny in 202
counts. have been dropped by order of
District Attorney Pelletier.
The reason is that Siegel has served

"Plea for Piracy"

The text OF the German memorandum
reached London too late for lengthy com.
ment in the morning papers. The news
papers, with headings such as New Plea
for Piracy declared that the Germans
were about to begin new campaign OF
frightfulness with utter disregard for
international law and humanity. They
expressed the opinion that the submarine
dispute between Germany and the Unit
ed States, far from being settled, is sud.
denly reopened by the announcement of
the new German policy.
"The German memorandum says The
Times, Sis a complaint against the per-
fectly legitimate and long praeticed right
of our merchantmen to carry guns for
defense. Germany has thus raised the
whole question of submarine warfare af
fecting neutrals."
The United States, it is believed in
official circles here, win protest to Ger
many against the enforcement of the
new policy before it goes into effect. In
some quarters it was suggested that a
way out Of the difficulty might be found
by suggestion from the United States
that England pledge herself TO use guns
aboard merchantmen only for defensive

the Bible text which describes Cornell

He concluded his analysis of devOut-

Extracts from last Sundays sermons:
Morning
Prof. w. B. Thomas of Jamestown
College spoke on the theme Spiritual
Freedom" He mentioned various
kinds of freedom. such as the free
dom Of the savage and freedom of the
mind from fear. He illustrated the
latter kind of freedom by reference to
a man who visited the scenes of his
boyhood in foreign land after he
was grown. and found that his early
fears of the darkness and ghost Wis
itants had entirely vanished. What
was the explanation? Enlightenment
had liberalized or freed the mind from
fear. This is what knowledge may al
ways do.
Jesus Christ promised to free men
from sin if they do His will and they
would then be truly free. They who
are thus made free experience sense
of JOY and freedom from restraint
that can be found in no other way.
This is what the speaker meant by
spiritual freedom.
Evening
In the evening Prof. Thomas deliv-
cred an address which he explained
was not quite a sermon but yet dealt
with religious theme of interest to
the church-''The Twentieth Century
Devout Man" He discussed the aues-
ton whether or not devoutness Is q
