PLAN IS COMPLETED
FOR NEUTRAL PATROL
WHEN IT IS NEEDED
Entire Destroyer Force, Light
Cruisers Tugs and Other
Craft Would Be Used to Pro-
teCt American Waters
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-While mo-
immediate steps are IN contemplation
for the actual establishment CT a naval
neutrality patrol along the Atlantic
coast as a result of the German raid
the navy department has completed a.
definite plan to put into operation if
the campaign continues. The entire de-
stroyer force, active and reserve, assists
ed by light cruisers, navy tugs and oth-i
er auxiliary craft, would be employed to-
protect American territorial waters and
also to prevent the establishment of any
secret bases ashore or communication
between shore radio stations and the
belligerent craft.
The possibility Of mobilizing the force
of privately-owned motor boats along
the coast which have been enrolled with
their crews as a part of the naval RES
serve, was first considered, but various.
obstacles were encountered.
Naval militia officers and men ala
ready have been assigned to reserve
ships for service if necessary.
POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS.
Government officials today were pon&3
dering the question of whether the Uni-,
ted States shall acknowledge the raid
of the German war submarine U-53 on
allied shipping off Nantucket last Sum
day as legal. The problem was consider-i
ed of great Importance not only in ita
relation to that particular raid but be-
cause of the probability that 1t will es-
tablish a precedent affecting possible fu~
ture submarine forays of similar ma
ture.
Much forethought was being given tn
potential developments, such as that
German undersea boats might be alba
to extend their operations to such an
extent as to effect practically block
ade of American ports, or that the allied
powers might decide to press harder.
their claims that entry of American
ports be denied all underwater craft OF
belligerents Resting on determination
of this nations attitude toward the
work Of the U-53 is the matter of So
Letting indemnity for American cargoeS
lost with the sun1en ships. Only If
the ships were sunk Illegally may claims
be entered.
The navy department was making eff
forts to expedite the report of Rear ADJ
miral knight on naval phases of the
raid and the state department was par.
ticularly interested in the evidence to
be presented concerning the submarines.
arrangements for saving crews and pas
sengers of ships it sunk. This is being

boats from the victim vessels.

BERLIN. oct. l1.-(Via London, oct.
I2D-The most notable incident at the
opening of tOdays reichstag session was
supplied by Major Ernst Bassermann,
leader Of the National Liberals, in his
report from the budget committee that,
iuhOugh it had been unable to reach
decision en- tho submarine question,

port Of the general international situa-
tion, emphasizing the entente's pressure
on neutral powers and its efforts to
force Greece into the war. lie then

The committee occupied itself with

tary, economic and political aspects
were thoroughly investigated and
weighed The deliberations and discus

ton, strictly upon the merits of the
case and with general desire to serve
The interests of the fatherland.
No AGREEMENT REACHED.
IAN agreement could not be reached
in the committee, which, therefore, re-
trained from making a decision. The
committee recommends that the reich
stag in its deliberations abstain from a
discussion of submarine warfare. 1t
bases this attitude upon the standpoint
that a thorough discussion Of the naval,
technical, military, economic and po-
litical details is impossible without in
jury to the interests of the fatherland,
but. on the other hand, that without
such thorough discussion the subject
could not be completely cleared up"
The recommendat ton had been adopted
