he returned last summer from Ger

If these charges are shown to have
any basis Secretary Garrison says he
will order trial of Maj Langhorne by

LanEhorne Case Serious
War Department officials said today
that the case OF Mai. Langhorne is one
OF serious nature. as the charge now
made is substantially that of taking in
formation through enemy lines.
Gen. Hugh Scott, Chief of STAFF Of the

War Breckenridge were in conference
yesterday afternoon. 1t is understood
that Maj. Langhorne's case was consid-

There has been deep mystery about the
case of Maj. Langhorne ever since his
return from Berlin last summer. It was
generally understood at the time that he
had been recalled, but Secretary Garrison
never would admit it.
War Department officials said yester-
day a great deal would depend on the
nature of the communica tons Mai.
Longhorne is charged with having deliv-
cred to Capt. Won Papen. II they were
merely personal letters, sent through him

GENERAL OPPOSES GARRISON
PLAN AND CONSCRIPTlON
Admiral Declares Navy Ready Now
to Meet Any Nation in
Battle on Pacific.

Opponents of President Wilson's de-
fense bills were much cheered yester-
day by testimony given before House
committees by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U.
S. A, retired, and Admiral Victor Blue,
Chief Of the Bureau of Navigation. The
witnesses declared that the United States
is prepared to resist successfully, both on
enemy.
Gen. Miles, speaking before the House
Committee on Military Affairs, condemn
ed conscripdon, disapproved of the con-
tlnental army recommended by the Secre-
tary OF War, and declared that the coast
equal to those of any country in the
world.
Speaking OF the continental army Gen
Miles said It was "un-Amercan," and
that the people Of the United States
would never consent to "Germanizing
its military establishment. Taking up
the question Of invasion Gen. Miles said
"'If 10000 men were landed on either of
our coasts, and We were not able to
raise enough men to drive them out, l
would want to move to another country"
''Over- r-seas expeditions, such as We are
told would succeed against the United
States, are expensive. and are as a rule,
disastrous" said Gen. Miles. IF sub
jects were ordered by a European ooun-
try to cross the water to America, 1 be-
lieye they would refuse to go because of
their fear of meeting a uberty-loving ma
ton of men defending their own homes. "
Gen. Miles expressed the belief that
conscription would never succeed In the
United States, and cited the draft riots
OF the civil war. He recommended ex-
pansion Of the regular army, to a peace
basis Of 1000 men. and advocated ex-
pansion of the National Guard
Admiral Blue testified before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs yesterday
that in the event of trouble in the Pacific
the American navy would be ready to
meet any navy in the Pacific Immediately
upon its transfer from the Atlantic.
The admiral told the committee that
the greatest need Of the American navy
today Is a reserve for use In time of war.
He said that the navies of France, Ger

with but two dissenting votes, the
Chamber of Commerce last night went
on record in favor of referring the pro-
hibition question to a referendum OF the

Germany's Disavowal

President Wilson's friends
were confident last night that
the settlement OF the Lusi-
tania case would be regarded
as a diplomatic victory cx-
cept that phase relating to
the demand for a "disa-
vowal."
Germany does not acknowl-
edge that the attack OH the
Lusitania was illegal. but per-
mits the inference TO be
drawn that il was wrong to
destroy neutral lives since re-
prisals should be conducted
so as not TO impair neutral
rights.
While this admission does
not constitute the disavowal
in actual words the Presi-
dents advisers contend that
in effect il amounts to a dis
avowal when taken in Conncc-
ton with Ger1nany's promise
to pay an indemnity.
