THE ISSUE BETWEEN THE
PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS

On February 18th, 1916 the Presi-
dent sent through the State Depart
ment a note to the Foreign Powers
of which the closing paragraph reads
as follows:
Il should add that my govern
ment is impressed with thereas-
onableness of the argument that
a merchant vessel carrying anar-
mament of any sort, in view of
the character of the submarine
warfare and the defensive weak
ness of undersea craft, should be
an auxiliary cruiser and so
treated by neutral as well as by
belligerent Government and is
seriously considering INSTRUCT
This paragraph was preceded by an
elaborate argument showing that the
conditions which gave rise to the rule
permitting merchantmen to carry
arms had ceased to exist and the rule
had no longer any force. Mr.. Wilson
therefore at that time considered
armed merchantmen as vessels OF
war.
1t seems, however, that this propo-
sition was not accepted by some of
the powers. Moreover, Colonel
Roosevelt and others were vigorously
condemning the President for not in
sisting upon American rights. Mr..
Wilson then suddenly discovered that
merchant vessels had a right to carry
arms, that our citizens had a right to
travel on armed vessels and when
murmurs of disapproval went up from
Congress he insisted that Congress
would adopt resolution favoring his
policy regardless of consequences. Is
it any wonder that even in his own
party large number of Congressman
are in revolt?

REPLY TO NAIL NOTE
EXPECTED TO WAIT
No Action Before Election,
Washington Believes

Washington, Oct. Determination
Of the Allies note on the censorship Of
mails. made public this morning. has
brought a feeling among officials that
il does not satisfactorily meet the pro
tests in the American note of May "a.
The State Department has watched
with interest, however, the informal ar
rangements made by British authori-
ties. and is understood TO feel that re-
sentiment among American citizens over
the Allied censorship has been greatly
lessened. 1t is thought unlikely that
any reply will be made in the three
weeks before election. Diplomatic
circles attach much significance to
President Wilson's declaration at Long
Branch yesterday that ait is almost
impossible to do anything positive" in
foreign affairs.
All the information reaching the de-
partment is understood TO indicate that
the Allies have determined to MAINTAIN
the frmest attitude on the subject,
feeling that absolutely vital interests
are involved. Officials are said TO feel,
therefore, that any further positive
step by the United States might bring
the controversy to a much more erlu-
cal stage.

Undersea Ships to Bring
Small U-Boats, Says Lake
[By telegraph TO rhs Tribune J

Boston, Oct. 15.-Simon Lake, in
ventor Of the submarine, says that
Germany can blockade the Unite6
States coast with submarines, and pre-
diets that use will be made Of giant
underses craft equipped with smaller
submarines. which they will carry just
as ocean liners Of to-day can carry life
boats. He believes such a blockade can
be undertaken at any time Germany
wishes and that if It is begun our
commerce will go to pieces.
Mr.. Lake predicts the arrival OF the
Deutschland and also the coming Of
more war submarines TO the American
coast.
Germany will soon put 800 subma-
rines in commission TO sweep the seas.
and will, simultaneously, he declared,
construct many submarine blockade
runners of the Deutschland class.
THE submarine will eventually mako
naval war impossible he declares.
"No one can build q submarine that
can cope with other submarines. The
British now depend on the microphone
will be developed the noiseless subma-
rine that will glide through the water
without a sound. Submarines then
cannot locate each other and encount-
ers will be accidental"
The British and German fleets. he
says, are hiding from each others
submarines. A German submarine pa
troll OF the American coast would be
effective, he believes, and by cutting
off food for England would bring an
end to the war

RUSSIANS STORM
GERMAN LINES
Bayonets Clear Trenches
in Violent Battle in
Volhynia

London. Oct i5.-The battle or the
Stokhod River, in Volhynia, has broken
cut anew. The Russians leaped from
the trenches to the attack yesterday
morning. and before nightfall the fight
ing had assumed the ferocity that
characterized the Russian operations in
the early days Of the summer.
After bonn bardment lasting nearly
forty-eight hours Brussiloff's troops
swept forward in the sector north OF
Korytniza and captured, at the point Of
the bayonet. several lines of Teuton
trenches. These they st.bbornly held
against all counter attacks. Prisoners
and guns were taken in the operation.
These and other activities OF the
Russians in Volhynia and Galicla lead
observers to believe that Brussllof IS
preparing for general offensive
against the enemy. whose lines have
been weakened to supply the demands

He declared that so far not one

anti aircraft gun. The only success
full means of warding off the attacks.

darts upon them from aeroplanes. A
dozen or more searchlights would

Austrians are in none too strong force
here, but they have constructed an
elaborate system OF defences that the
Italians are finding it difficult to pierce.
To-day's official statement says:
ION the slopes of Mount Pasubio
further enemy attacks were driven of
by our troops, who, in turn, as the
result OF a vigorous counter attack,
were able again to progress toward
Mount Roite. In the Cosmagnon area
