COULD sHELLNEWYORK NOW
Gen. Weaver, Chief of Coast Artillery,
Wants Larger Guns for the
Land Forts.

Washington, Jan. 21-Two "emerg-
ent situations" as to coast defenses-
one at New York and another at San
Francisco-where enemy battle ships
with long range guns could lombard
parts of the two cities without dan
ger from the present land works, we're
described to the house military COM
mittee yesterday by Brigadier General
Weaver, chief of coast artillery.
He said the war departments plans
contemplated placing 16-inch guns and
besides that, he said, forty surplus r.
inch guns being remodeled at Sandy
Hook to give them greater range, will
be placed in various forts.
One or two such weapons, he said,
would be enough for any fort and
would more than offset long range
guns afloat, since the accuracy of fire
of the gun ashore was eight times as
great as that af1oat.

TELLS OF NAVY'S WEAKNESS
Report of Admiral Fletcher Points
Out Spots Where Our De-
Tense Is Defective.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The perilous
weakness of the United States navy,
due to the fault of congress and the
navy department to keep the fleet
rounded out in every department, was
emphasized in the report of Admiral
F. F. Fletcher, commander-in-chief of
the Atlantic fleet, which was made
public yesterday.
This is the report that was sup
pressed by the secretary of the navy,
Josephus Daniels, but which was
called for by the senate The ad-
miral reported on the naval man
euvers in which imaginary attacks
were made on the Atlantic coast that
both times the enemy evaded the de-
Tending fleet and landed men because
of the lack of fast cruisers to spy out
the enemy ships.
The admiral says that, with the ex-
ception of the submarines and fast
cruisers, the fleet is as efficient, ship
for ship, as any navy, but that it's
weakness lies in that it is not round
ed out. A close study of the report
shows that the criticism of the COM
mander-in-chief Of the fleet tallies
closely with the criticism made by
Frederick Palmer, the war correspond
ent, in his article published in the
Kansas City Star.

ALLIES WATCHING NEUTRALS
Sweden Seeks American Cooperation
Against EngIand-Spanish NUM-
ton Purchases Excite Curiosity.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Two nations
doomed prominently today in world
political prominence = Sweden and
Spain. Diplomatic interest was cen
tered in developments in these coun-
tries. American interests are in
volved in both, the diplomatic corps
being rife with various reports and
rumors.
Reported efforts of Sweden to in
duce the United States to join in a
protest to England against the pro-
posed British blockade of Germany
and British mail interferences were
widely discussed in diplomatic quar-
tiers.
Reports of political activity in
Spain and the purchase in this country
of great quantities of arms and am
munition were also afloat. Diplomats
of the Allies were greatly interested
in the internal and external develop
ments affecting Spain. The En-
tente's diplomatic representatives
here are understood to be closely
watching purchases in this country
by Spanish agents.

Will SON WILL TAKE THE STUMP
President is Planning to Make Public
Addresses Throughout Country in
Support of Preparedness.

Washington, Jan. 19.-President
Wilson is planning to assume personal
Leadership in the fight for a stronger
army and navy. So many reports
have reached him of confusion over
the issue before Congress and of the
uncertainty of the outcome that he has
determined not only to go before the
country in public addresses but to con-
fer further on the subject with leaders
of the Senate and House.
Representative Hay and Represen-
tatiye Padgett, chairmen of the House
military and naval committees, re-
spectively, have informed Mr.. Wilson
that it will be from six weeks to two
months before the committees will be
ready to report army and navy appro-
priation bills. While this work is go
ing on the President proposes to do
his utmost to solidify sentiment among
the people and members of Congress
in favor of the plans drawn up by the
War and Navy departments.
Friends of the President represent
him as being undeterred by the open
opposition of former Secretary W. J.
Bryan and other pacifists and by diff
ferences among advocates of national
defense over the exact plans to be
adopted. He is said to be firmly of
the opinion that the program prepared
by Secretary Garrison and Secretary
Daniels is the best which can be Of
fered at this time.
At tonight's session of the National
Civic Federation a resolution was
L.
Quate preparation for national defense.
Members of Congress. labor leaders
and other public figures addressed the
federation, most of them joining in
voicing the view that the time had
come for the United States to
strengthen materially its naval and
military forces, no matter what might
be the cost

SEES FLAWS IN OUR DEFENSE
American Coast Line Is Open to
Attacks by Enemy Warships, Says
Mai. Gen. Wood.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood told the Senate military
committee today the coast line OF the
United States was open to attack by
any well organized foreign army, de-
spite its equipment of forts, mines and
submarines, and that the oceans
formed no serious barrier to invasion.
He declared that in the country's
present state of utter unpreparedness
for war, a trained force of 10000 men
could inf1ict incalculabIe damage be-
fore any army could be assembled to
meet it.
Events of the European war clearly
demonstrated, the general said, that
the sea was the best medium for the
movement of troops, and he pointed
out that force OF $4,000 men, fully
equipped, had been landed at GallipOn
from a single expedition Of ninety
eight ships, against submarines, mines
and an underwater screen of barbed
wire that fringed every available land
ing place.
Emphasizing his conviction that
troops cannot be improvised to meet
regulars, General Wood declared the
fundamental basis of any policy of ade-
Quate national defense must be the
principle that with suffrage goes an OBJ
legation for military service. Such a
policy had been advocated by George
Washington, he said, and if it had been
adopted Canada would have become
part of the United States in the War
Of 1872
"Only once in our history have we
been prepared for war;" he added.
THAT was Immediately after the Civil
War, when we had a million and half
trained soldiers. Our diplomatic cor
respondence with France concerning
Mexico was very brief 1t required
only one note because of our prepared
ness. They were told to get out and
they got out.
There isn't going to be any weak
ness abroad after this war is over. You
will find that more male children will
have been born than have been killed
or injured. You will have all the gold,
perhaps, but it will not do you much
good unless you stiffen it with IRON
AS to the immediate needs of the
regular army, General Wood expressed
the opinion that the force of regulars
with the colors should be maintained
at 100000. OF these, he said, twenty
thousand, equipped and supplied for a
years time, should be kept in the Phil
ippines, another twenty thousand in
Hawaii, and fifteen thousand at
Panama.

VILLA IS CAUGHT?
Dispatches to Ell Paso Report
Capture of Bandit Chief by
Carranza Soldiers.
PLAN EXECUTION AT JUAREz
Citizens of Border Town Want to
Arrange Public Shooting-NeWs
Not Officially Confirmed.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 21.-Francisco
Villa has been captured at Hacienda
San Geronimo by Carranza forces IN
der General Cavazos, according to
private telegram from Chihuahua City
received here.
No confirmation had been obtained
here at $50 o'clock tonight, though
the telegram came from the source
that first reported the massacre of
Americans at Santa Ysabel. Cavazos
was last reported to be bringing pris-
oners from Guerrero to Chihuahua.
Mexican Consul Andreas Garcia
confirmed the capture of General Villa.
His advices stated that the capture
was effected by Maxine Marquee, who
recently also captured General Jose
Rodriguez, one of Villas generals.
A SmeIter Also Hears 1t.
A message announcing Villas cap
ture also has been received at the Of
flee of the American Smelling and
Refining Company.
Messages from Chihuahua City,
also confirming reports of the capture
of Villa, stated that number OF BAN
dts who participated in the Santa
Ysabel massacre have been captured
and are being brought to Chihuahua
City to be put to death.
Consul Garcia explained that his
confirmation of the report of the cap
ture of Villa was based on unofficial
but reliable information. He tele-
graphed to Chihuahua City, asking i'm
mediate official confirmation on the
part of General Jacinto Trevino, the
military chief of the northern states.
Plan to Shoot Villa.
At the same time message was
prepared to be filed in the event Of
formal confirmation, requesting that
Villa be sent to Juarez to be shot to
death at the race track. This message
was prepared at the office of Gen.
Gabriel Gavira, commandant at Jua-
rez, who stated that he had received
nothing official concerning the cap
ture of the outlaw chieftain.
Hacienda San Geronimo is on the
named the Babricora ranch, near the
railroad station of San Tomas, south
east of MADEIRA.
Believe He Is Cornered.
Reports received here indicated that
Villa had been cornered in a triangle
formed in the mountains. Col. Maxi
mo Marquee was on the southwest
point, marching from MADEIRA; Col.
Jose AlexondO was closing in from
the northwest, while General Cavazos
advanced from the southeast.
