THE ARMY AND NAVY

Friday the Senators woke up ana
a number of them had the lntelH-
gence to see and to say that the
navy bill was far more important
bill than the army bill, and that II
the navy were put into the position
it ought to occupy as the first line OF
defense, there would be little or no
necessity for large armies of regulars
or volunteers.
The question then becomes one OF
reason, as applied to a naval pro-
gram. Until the American navy IS
beaten, sunk or driven from the
seas, it is not possible to land on
American shores any considerable
body of men. The question is not
a question of the number of trans
ports-transport ships may easily
be secured or constructed-it is the
protection of those ships.
1t pleases the alarmists at this
time to bring railing accusation
against the American navy, an ac-
cusiation that, OF course, is inef-
fective if it runs only during the
past three years. So the area OF
this submarine warfare against the
navy is enlarged to include the past
twenty years.
The truth is all the conditions OF
naval warfare have been radically
changed more than once during the
past twenty years. They will prob
ably be changed during the next
twenty years.
We must, therefore, apply to the
conditions serene Judgment, dis
passionate consideration. We must
know what we are preparing for;
then We must weigh the arguments
in behalf of the different means of
preparation.
Fortunately we do not have to act
upon the judgment of any expert or
any board of experts Fortunately
because there is no agreement
among experts, and one board of eX-
perts will answer another, just as
they did in the controversy relative

London, April 14.-Except for tho

Many Fear Break
With Germany Ouer
the Submarine Issue
Sussex Affair to Reach Crisis
Within Forty Eight
Hours.
WASHINGTON SEES
GRAVE SITUATION
Wilson Takes Attitude That Teu-
tons Are Not Keeping
Word. "

Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson and the cabinet went over
the submarine crisis today and reaf-
1lrmed their determination to bring
the situation with Germany to an
issue.
The decision to inform Germany
that recent accumulation OF evidence
of ships destroyed in submarine war
fare leads to the inevitable conclu
sion that her promises are not being
fulfilled, remains unchanged The
time for dispatching communica-
ton seemed to be the only point un-
decided.
In congress today a report was cir
Culated that the forthcoming note
would give notice Of a severance Of
diplomatic relations. There was moth
ing to substantiate the rumors any
where, however. Cabinet officers did
not deny it, as they all had been
bound in honor not to speak of the
subject in any way.
Repeated Indications.
There were repeated indications to-.
night that the note would be a state
ment of the American case up to date
without the nature of an ultmatum
and leave the way open for Germany
t oavoid the long feared break in
diplomatic relations. it was plain
however, that it would be intended
as the American governments last
word.
Senators of the foreign relations
committee who had been told by the
president that they would be con-
suited before any final or drastic
steps were taken, declared tonight
they had not yet been advised Of
the details OF the next step. Chair
man Stone conferred with Secretary
Lansing during the day, but declared
there was nothing new IN the situa-
tion.
Evidence Complete.
At the state department there was
renewed evidence tha tthe United
States considers it's case complete
without the atfidavits which arrived
on the steamer, st. Paul. Secretary
Lansing acknowledged that the evil
dence gathered by the French gov
ernment to prove the identity of the
submarine involved in the Sussex at
tack had been placed in possession OF
the American government Such evil
dence properly substantiated was re-
garded as the capstone Of the Amer.
lean case, if one seemed necessary:
Mr. Lansing's only comment on the
evidence was that it would be exam-
ined.
The impression the officials permit
ted to prevail was that the note to
Germany would not go forward until
all the evidence had been consider
ed, but. that enough was at hand to
make up the American case. Some
officials declared the communication
would go forward within 4S hours.
In all official quarters here there
is evidence of the gravity of the
situation. All officials agree that the
accumulation of evidence has brought
the situation between the two cOun-
tries to a point of break or decided
change on Germany's part.
Only disclosures of the exact terms
can show what are the possibilities
of the next developments.
