EXPLAINS ENTRY OF
PORTUGUESE In WAR
SAYS BRITISH GOVERNMENT RE
oUEsTED SEIZURE OF GER
MAN SHIPS.

Iendon.-Speaking on behalf of
Premier Asquith. who was absent on
account of illness Sir Edward Grey
secretary for foreign affairs. explained
in the House of Commons the entry
OF Portugal into the war He con
tirmed the statement that the British
government had asked Portugal TO re.
QUESTION the German ships and said
that Portugal promised eventually to
indemnify the owners.
ne secretary argued that the right
In an emergency to requlsition prop
erty of all individuals and convert il
to public use WAS a right inherent In
every foreign state and could not be
challenged by any foreign power.
Portugal, however. was not a neutral
state in the narrowest sense of the
term At the outbreak of the war
Portugal promised that under no cir.
edmstanees would she disregard her
ancient alliance with Great Britain and
she had remained faithful to the OBJ.
legation of that alliance.
The action OF Portugal, continued
Sir Edward. would injure no third
party, because she had promised com
pensation, but Germany saw fit to
precipitate events and declare war
thus altering the whole position as
regarded the payment of compensa
ton
1T must be observed" said the for
eign secretary, that Germany, who
has accused Portugal with breach OF
neutrality, had herself in October and
December 1914 entered the Portu.
guese colony of Angola and tried TO
stir up rebellion In Portuguese
East Africa.
In conclusion. Sir Edward said Por,
tugal would be welcomed by the allies
as a gallant coadjutor in the great
cause for which the war had been
waged

committee by Capt Sims. command.
ing the battleship Nevada.
The captain also advised the build,
Ing of many additional destroyers. He
said that while much had been ac-
eomplished toward making armed
ships less vulnerable to torpedoes,
there had been no solution of the prob
lem of protecting fleet against tor
pedo attack in open sea Therefore.
he said, the navy should have plenty
of fast craft to chase off destroyer
and submarine enemies.
Much information was given the
committee by the witness concerning
the nayies Of the world and their ope=
rations. He said it was improbable
that any great expedition against the
United States ever would start from
the other side of the Atlantic. but
that some point in the West Indies
probably would be used as base.
He strongly indorsed the Navy De
partment's proposal to promote Off
GERS by selection instead of by Sc
niority.
Before the committee began its
hearings Chairman Padgett conferred
with President Wilson. who urged
him to speed up work on the naval ap-
preparation bill. The chairman said
he expected the hearings TO be con,
cluded within two weeks.
Thomas A. Edison and other experts
will appear to tell the committee OF
the necessity of erecting a great ex-
detrimental laboratory here in which
to work out naval problems.
