Enright yesterday at f'armingdale,

water which, Enright contends, may
be used as substitute for gasoline
Mr. Ford added however that after
talking with Enright he was satisfied

Mr. Ford also said he would accept
a nomina ton for president if the peo
pie wanted him. Mr.. Ford expressed
the opinion that the office should seek

DISCUSSING EFFECT

If Austria Be Dragged In,

Result of Failure of Nego-
tiations With Powerful
Neighbor


WASHINGTON. April 22-T The
United States government has made
tentative plans to cope with every con-
ceivable situation which would result in
the severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany. For reasons which they
indicated were obvious, officials tonight
deemed il unwise to discuss the details.
There is reason for believing, how
ever. that some of the plans have to do
with the safety Of American citizens in
the German empire, and the others have
to do with American supervision of
German interests in the countries at
war with Germany.
Numerous dispatches on these sub
jects are understood to have been sent
to diplomatic representatives abroad
particularly to Berlin. Dispatches are
regarded as being highly confidential
and for that reason information con-
cerning them is unavailable here.
Among the dispatches received from
Ambassador Gerard within the past
two days, was one describing the man.
ner in which the American note de-
claring the purpose of the United
states TO break relations unless Ger
many modified her submarine methods,
was received by German officials.
While this, too, was held as confiden-
tial. 1t is understood the ambassador
represented Berlin officials as being
greatly surprised at the demands of the
Washington government. Mr. Gerard
is said to have gathered at least an i'm
g..
idea that the communication would be
as drastic and final as it was
The general feeling here tonight APP
parently was not all optimistic regard
ing the outcome. In the absence oi
further Informative advices from Am
bassador Gerard, the days press dis
patches were read closely
Indications in them that there might
be delays or requests for additional in
formation, were regarded by officials
as significant. 1t is well understood
however, that the United States under
no consideration will permit delay and
discussion unless it is preceded by d
declaration from Germany that she has
so modified her submarine warfare as
TO bring it within the scope of interna
tional law.
Dispatches Of an important nature
hourly are expected from Ambassador
Gerard. 1t is expected that before Mon.
day. or certainly soon thereafter the
ambassador will be in a position t(

government.

pectancy. Officials are confident tina

GAINED HALF MILLION
FOR SAVING A LIFE

OMAHA, Neb., April %. Eber
Smith. a travelling salesman of this
city, has received notification from
San Bernardino, Cal, that he was
named sole heir to the estate of
Thomas Simpson, California rancher,
who died short time ago. The estate
is valued at s5O0,000. Two years ago,
it is said, Smith saved Simpsons life
when a forest fire was sweeping upon
his California ranch house, where he
lay, alone. suffering from a broken
leg.
Smith was the only man among the
fire fighters who dared attempt rescue
With wet gunnysacks about his head
he made his way through the flames
and carried the rancher to safety.
Smith did not see Simpson again, but
the rancher remembered him, and for
saving his life willed him all his prop

German answer with the sense of
the crown of glory of the great
free nation beyond the ocean,
Theodore Wolf, editor of the Tage-
blatt, furnishes the most noteworthy
comment on the American note.
An article written apparently in Il
calm and friendly spirit reviews the
facts and promises in the case and
closes: The vast majority OF the
German nation wishes no war win
America. Light minded politicians
and writer's who indulge in strong
war poses may underestimate such
an increase in the enemies of the
German nation. However, we will
bear the worst, if the worst cannot
be prevented.
1T is to be desired that the leaders
themselves find a proper course. The
imperial chancellor is now at grand
headquarters. Never since the be-
ginning of the war has graver
question called together the guard
ians of the empire"
Regarding the Sussex case itself,
Herr Wolff laments the loss of nom
|combatants and says: The Ger
mans could have no wish to torpedo
unarmed ships and destroy non mill
tant life. such a procedure fulfilling
no military purpose. The German
government has not taken the stand :
point that the torpedoing of an un-
armed merchantmen is permissible
since it comedies the principle of the
inviolabilty of unarmed ships. 1t
did not refer to the fact that the
SUSSEX was in the war zone. it only
considers the guilt of the German
submarine as not proven, and the
case as doubtful at least. 1t formed
the only verdict which il could form
on the evidence.
| The Boersen Zeitung says: Fh.
German answer viii naugurate a new
phase in the world war which may
have an important bearing on th'
issue. Therein lies the Significance
/ of American note
The paper evidently is uncertain
as to what answer should be givel
and advises the public to leave tn
decision with the government.
Whether the government can de
eide to renounce its most effectiv
weapon against its arch-enemy. En-
gland" it says depends upon cir
cumstances which an outsider ca

ANTAGONISTIC TONE
OF THE GERMAN PRESS


LONDON, Via London) April .,
12:40 p m.-Following the lead of
few morning papers in preparing the
public as gently as possible, for the
American note, the Zeitung after ex-
due to the length of the note and
the difficulty of translation declares:
1T will not electrify Germany as
it is reported to have electrified
America Germany has been willing to
go to the most extreme limit to meet
the United States ever since the
American government has sought to
restrict, even to make ineffective,
Germany's weapon of necessity. We
have, as has been proved a thousand
times, to every thinking man, so far
guarded the interests of all neutrals
that not an inconsiderable conflict
of opinion has arisen among us
"To the last man, however, the
German people are united in the
firm resolve not to let the submarine
be wrenched from our hands, as a
weapon. We need it because it has
shown itself to be an effective Wea
pom. We use it according to the prin-
Piles of justice and humanity always
invoked in the American notes and
we will use it in the future because
our right and our human consider
alton for our existence as state
and the future of our wives and
children compel US Therefore, we
await with calmness and determin-
alton what President Wilson again
has to say
The Zetuig Armittag SAYS that
Germany has to acknowledge to its
regret that the spirit of large part
of the leading American politicians
for a long time has not been neutral,
with regret adds the paper, be
cause every one of us has the wish
to avoid an unnecessary conflict by
giving into the most extreme limit,
and because we believe a clash with
America can be avoided unless the
intension exists over there wantonly

Warning Lette,
[Republican A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, April %. - Secre-
tary Daniels transmitted to the SEN
ate today his response to the Lodge
resolution amendment Of April II call
ing upon him to submit letter from
the navy board dated August 3, 1914,
and communication from Rear Ad
miral Bradley A Fiske then aide,
for operations. dated November 9,
1914. The communication was de-
scribed IN the resolutions as warn
ing the secretary that the navy was
unprepared for war. They were first
mentioned publicly when Represent
tative Britton asked Mr. Daniels to
produce them during his examination
before the house naval committee
recently and he refused.
Search of the files of the navy
department and the general board
failed to disclose, however. any such
| letter from the general board as that
mentioned in the resolution, accord
| ing to Secretary Daniels. A letter from
Admiral Dewey president of the board
containing this statement is trans
mitted.
! Admiral Fiskes letter is careful
analysis of the situation of the navy
| in the early days of the European
war and contains the statement that
IF this country avoids war during
| the next five years, it will be ac-
complished only by a happy COM
bination of high diplomatic skill and
rare good fortune" 1t asserts that
the navy was then short 1860 men
and that While the ships were well
lorganized and pretty well drilled
the department itself was neither
"organized nor drilled in elementary
warfare"
Perhaps this is nobody's fault the
letter continues, and may be at
tributed to the fact that our navy
has never had to fight serious enc
my; certainly not in hundred years
Admiral Fiske then appends an ar.
gument for the creation of nava

$1,000 persons, cost only 5,S4 days
apiece, on an average for disability, or
nearly three days each less year than
enlisted men. The report says the

inasmuch as large percentage of gov

listed men are in their twenties.
Men employed in the government

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The
question as to whether and when the
troops will be withdrawn from Mexico
may be reached by President Wilson
and his cabinet Tuesday. This was
indicated today when it WAS reported
from San Antonio that Major General
Scott sent by Secretary Baker to in
vestigate the military problems con-
fronted by General Funston and his
men might be back in Washington in
time for his report to be laid before
the regular meeting of the cabinet on
that day
Secretary Baker declined to discuss
the political meaning of General
Scott's decision to hasten back to the
capital without extending his quest
fo- information beyond conferences
with General Funston and his officers
at department headquarters. Off
cials have consistently refused to say
anything whatever about the problems
under consideration since the request
for the withdrawal of the troops came
from General Carranza.
1t is known. however. from border

that he cannot go farther with the
pursuit of Villa than he already has
gone unless he is heavily reinforced
and his hands freed to some extent
at least in dealing with the problems
of supplies and information beyond
the borders General Scott's decision
to retarn AZ once generally was taken
| to mean that he has reached a settled
| conclusion, and would so report to
