WASHINGTON, March 31.-Secre- tary Daniels touched on all sides of the naval preparedness program in continuing his testimony today before the house naval program. He pro- posed various notifications in and addition to the five year building program endorsed by President Will son. including the eliminating entirely of the provisions of great sea going submarines in the 1917 estimate.
 Instead of a program for larger vessels. the secretary suggested build ing three 800 ton type boats for this purpose. three 1000 ton Schley type craft already having been authorized. The remainder of the submarine fund he urged. should go into coast de- fense boats of standard type that could be quickly secured. Thirty L type of K type boats may be the number agreed upon.
 Other new features proposed by MT Daniels were:
 "Construction of great drydock al Norfolk and possibly at Philadelphia establishment of a marine, aviation and submarine base at San Diego Cal; study of the Pacific coast tt | determine the best location for ar additional navy yard there, probabl, at Los Angeles or San Diego: tho expenditure of $175,000 to clear tn, l approach to the Charleston, s. c yard for heavy draft ships, and. au

FORMER CITY HALL
 JANITOR HIDING
Exodus of Score Named in Complaints; Possibility of Widespread Scandal in Attempted Dictation of Vote

One arrest has already been made, another is promised for early this morning, and nearly two hundred ad- ditional sworn complaints are in the process of preparation. charging il- legal registration and illegal voting before and at the recent city primary election. Fred Gardiner, city hall janitor under the old city administra- ton before the commission form of government went into effect, is cred- ited with procuring the majority of those whose names are alleged to be illegally on the registration books and he is further credited with having instructed the majority of those for whom warrants are to be issued, as to how they should vote and for whom they should vote. Late yester- day afternoon sworn complaint was filed with City Magistrate McBfide charging Gardiner with having pro- cured the illegal registration of Sa- vannah Robinson, an eighteen year old negro girl, who is now held in the city jail, serving a ten days sentence for vagrancy A warrant was forth with issued on this complaint and will probably te served early today.
 Savannah Robinson, just eighteen and not long out of the state reform school, was arrested several days ago. when after examination of the papers committing her to the reform school less than a year ago it was found that she was at that time but seven teen years old. In order that a case could he prepared against her, she was charged with vagrancy and given ten days in the city jail.
 Immediately following her arrest she was taken before the mayor, city at torney and chief of police and in their presence related how she had regist- cred and voted at the instance of Fred Gardiner It was her story upon which was based the issuance of a complaint against her charging Illegal registration and illegal voting. The warrants are being held for service as soon as she emerges from the city jail
 City Attorney George D. Christy stated that the Robinson girl in his office and in the presence of the mayor and chief of police said that Fred Gardiner had met her while the original registration was proceeding and had insisted that she register. But I'm only eighteen years old, ,
 the girl is quoted as having replied. That won't make any difference

ZEPPELIN RAID
 IN EAST ENGLAND
A Spring Thaw Puts a Stop to the Russian Offensive Along the Southern Part of the Eastern Fighting Front
lRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

Having captured the village of Nal ancOurt, the Germans have now shifted their offensive eastward to the sector around Le Mort Homme, with heavy forces the Teutons attacked the French line and succeeded in entering French first line trenches. A vigorous coun- ter attack by the French, howere, all most immediately expelled the invaders and another attack by the Teutons de- livered a little later is declared by Paris to have been put down completely. The Germans have made no attempt to debouch from Malancourt since their occupation of the village. The heavy bombardments of preceding days in the region nOrthewest of Verdun have greatly slackened and there also has been only moderate activity by the big guns to the north and the east of the fortress.
 Paris reports the failure of a Ger man infantry attack against the French to the south of the SOmme river near DOmpierre, the smelling by the French of German troops on the march in the ArgOnne forest and the battering of
 
 mont. Violent artillery duels have been in progress between the Belgians and the Germans in the region of Dixmude There has been a noticeable decrease in the infantry fighting on the Russian 1 fornt, probably owing to the soggy ground in the spring thaw The ar tillery on both sides, however has been carrying on bOmbardments at various points from the region of Riga south | ward. Bad weather also is hampering the fighting between the Austraisn and Italians.
 1 A torpedo boat or submarine has sunk in the Black sea the Russian hos pital ship Portugal, according to a French official press bureau. The ves- sel is said to have had a large number of wounded men aboard.
 | The American ambassador in Berlin has asked the German government whether a German submarine torpe- doed the steamers Sussex, Englishmar and Manchester Engineer. President Wilson and his cabinet have again dis cussed the situation arising from tho sinking of the Englishman and Man chester Engineer and the injury to thu steamer Sussex, all of which had Amer. jeans aboard when the explosion oc cured, but the American government will take no definite action in the pre- misses pending the receipt of conclusiv, proof that a submarine or submarine were responsible.

are held to corresponding proportions.
 Germany is racing toward famine which has been foreseen since last summer by those who knew Che truth about the summer harvest, according to Francis Gribble, the British novel, ist who has just returned to London after a year in the German intern ment camp at Ruhleben, near Berlin.
 "There is no avoiding the cOncIus- ion," said Gribble today, "that the state of the German people soon will be much what the state of the Belgian people now would be but for Ameri- can philanthropists.
 "The date at which the catastrophe will occur depends upon a good many uncertain factors; but it cannot be long delayed
 "The 1915 Summer harvest, what there was of it, was both sOwn and reaped while I was behind the barbed wires at Ruhleben. There was practi- eally no rain from the end of March until the beginning of July.
 "The crisis passed. Then came the flashing thunderstorms to com plete the damage. Those of our custodians who were concerned with agriculture pulled long faces and us ed ugly language. There was no mis- take aobut 1.-the German harvest of 1915 had failed"
 The novelist quoted the VOrwarts' the outspoken German Socialist news paper. to show that the 1915 harvest failed not only on account of drought but because:
 1.-The ground was not manured the mOnopolization of railway equip ment, by the military preventing this.
 2.-HOrses and carts were scarce because of the army needs.
 8.-Most skilled agyiculturists were away at the seat of war and old men, women, children and prisoners couldn't do the work.
 4.-Tbe manufacturers of agricul- ture implements have turned their energies to the manufacture of i'm plements of war.
 Famine is inevitable whether peace comes soon or not. Prices will be high and the value of German money has sunk so low that 20 marks will buy only 3 marks worth or goods; besides, Germany has no great quantities of goods to export and pay for food imports"
