"Only Universal Service Can
Save Nation" =. Breckenridge
Former Assistant War Secretary Tells 500 Young
Women at Chevy Chase Camp Military Train
ing Is Strongest Bulwark of Democracy.

An address by Henry S. Breckin-
ridge, who recently resigned as Assist
ant Secretary OF War. was the feature
OF the third day OF camp life for the
500 young women out at Chevy Chase
who are preparing themselves for
first aid" work in time of warfare.
Speaking on the topic of National
Preparedness" Mr.. Breckinridge made
an earnest plea for compulsory univer-
sal military service. He pointed out
that not only was universal service
the only military system based in fair
ness. equality or justice. but that un-
der the law of supply and demand.
which obtains in political as well as
commercial life, the other nations Of
the world had been brought to it, and
that America would sooner or later
have to follow suit.
Universal service does not mean
mllitarism; there is no connection be-
tween them" said Mr.. Breckinridge.
The one is simply the basis on which
your military system Is founded

SCOTS FULL REPORT
RECEIVED BY LANSING

. A full and detailed report from
Maj. Gen. Scott of his conferences
with Gen. ObregOn, CarrRnza's
minister of war, concerning the
military situation in Mexico was
received Rt the War Department
late last night.
Owing to the fact that PresI-
dent Wilson would be unable to
consider IL before today, Secretary
Baker declined to make II public.
He called up the White House
about IL o'clock while the report
was still being decoded, but learned
that the President had retired.
"AH that I can say now," he
declared, els that the report is
n complete summary of what tran
spired at the conferences and con-
taIns in tentative form the sug-
gestIons put forth for an agree
ment between the two govern
ments. II Is of such a character
that I do not feel at liberty to
make IL public until the President
has had opportunity to consider
it,
The report Is about 1000 words
long. Secretary. Baker assumed
that there will be at Ieast one
more conference.
The Washington herald., 1916-05-04

whether the people are going to defend
their country themselves or hire others
to do II for them. The other depends
on the character of the government
and the purpose for which the armies
are trained" He pointed out that in
political life such widely
divergent governments as Russia, a re-
llglous and imperial autocracy; Ger
many, an imperlalistic federation. and
Hungary, an imperial dual
on the one hand. and Swift
zerland and Australia, the nearest sp-
proaohes to pure democracy the world
has yet seen, on the other. have all
adopted universal service as the basis
of their military system.
That it was the only system which
could save a nation from ultimate de-
struction Mr.. Breckenridge maintained
by pointing out that 1t was not until
after Rome had ceased to call on all
of her citizens for military service. and

GUARD CITY'S
WATER SUPPLY
Officials Protect Conduit Fol-
lowing Threat to Blow Up
Cabin John Bridge.
HOLES FOUND IN BASES
SOON AFTER WARNING

Guards have been placed about the
Cabin John Bridge to protect the city's
water supply from being cut off through
the blowing up of the conduit pipes which
support the bridge, it was admitted at
the War Department last night. Threat
ening letters were said to have been
received about two weeks ago. which
declaIed the bridge would be dynamited.
No further disclosure of the nature of
the letters could be obtained.
Armed guards have been hired to watch
the bridge ever since the threats were
received. Reports in the neighborhood
state that holes were found at the four
bases Of the structure shortly after the
receipt of the threatening communica-
tions, in which 1t Is supposed the dyna-
mite was to have been planted
The city's water comes fourteen miles
down the Conduit road from Great
Falls and is distributed in the four
reservoirs. The point where It crosses
over Cabin John Bridge is the most
vulnerable part of the system, and the
destruction of the bridge would ef-
fectively cut off the supply, leaving
the seat of government without drink
ing water.
Officials of the water department re-
called the fact that the War Depart
ment took the same precautions during
the Spanish-American war, at which
time the road was constantly patroled
by soldiers.
At Della Carlia, the reservoir nearest
the threatened point, officials refused
to give out Information on the watch
being kept, but strongly suggested
to prevent cranks from damaging the
water system

DATAON ROOT
Delegates to Chicago Conven-
ton Declare They Will Op-
pose Old Guard Leader.
HIS BOOM EXPECTED TO
BRING OUT MR.. HUGHES
(Rr the Sun News servIee.)

oyster Bay. n. Y, May 3.-Three dele
Republicans and one Progressive, told
Col. Roosevelt today that under no cir
would they support Elihu
Root as a Presidential candidate. And
there are Others some of them Repub-
lican leaders high in the counsels Of the
party. who refuse to back Senator Roots
candidacy for the nomination, it is
stated
All of the delegates who have made
pilgrimages to Sycamore Hill-and many
of them have been Republicans-have
been in accord on this. Moreover, sena-
tor Roots strength is believed to be
greatly overrated, and it is reported that
the growing proportions Of his boom,
whether or not it is designed to head off
the Roosevelt boom, is also intended to
bring out Justice Hughes.
Those who hold this view say that if
the conventions approach with the Root
boom still in full swing and with the Pro-
gressive Republicans behind Roosevelt, it
will be evident that there can be no re-
union with Root, and that then Justice
Hughes will find the nomination thrust
upon him as a candidate in the interests
of party harmony, and one whom both
wings of the party can support.
The three delegates who called on Col.
Roosevelt today asked him what his at
titude was towards Senator Root or any
other candidate. They got no satisfae-
ton.

Warned to Discontinue Pres
ent Methods of Warfare.
CONFIDENT BERLIN REPLY
WILL PLACATE PRESIDENT
Wilson's Attitude One of Revived
Hope. but No Undue Optimism. "
Answer Eagerly Awaited.

Count Won Bernstorfr, the German Am
bassador, was very hopeful last night
over the submarine situation. He be-
Iieves that Germany's answer will fully
satisfy the United States. furthermore,
he is understood to have received pri-
vate advices indicating that orders have
already been issued to German subma-
rIne commanders not to continue their
methods Of warfare against merchantmen
in the war zone.
Secretary Lansing said yesterday that
he had no knowledge Of this. His at
titude on the whole question, like the at
titude Of President Wilson, Is one of
''watchful waiting" for the German re-
ply.
Revived hope, but no undue optimism" "
This characterizes President Wilson
frame Of mind on the submarine issue.
Press dispatches have been received from
Berlin to the effect that Germany will
issue new instructions to submarine
commanders and will otherwise define
its attitude on future submarine warfare
against merchantmen. The tenor of these
censored dispatches is regarded here as
hopeful and the intimation is that Ber-
lin will satisfy the American demands.
Officials here foresee a possibility that
the crisis may be happily eliminated, or
at least postponed by Germanys agree
ing to abandon temporarily the present
methods of submarine warfare which
endanger the lives of noncombatants on
the high seas. If this vital point in the
American demands is met the danger
Of a diplomatic break will be dissipated.
it is explained, and interest therefore
centers now on whether Berlin will I'M
equivocally agree on this vital issue.

CBy the International News serviee.)
Fl Paso, Tex, May S-The reported
agreement between Mai. Gen. Hugh L.
Scott and Mexican Minister Of War OBJ
RECON to limit the activities Of the punt
tive expedition in reality amounted only
to suggestions from both sides as to how
an amIcable understanding could be
reached
The suggestions must be approved by
President Wilson and the constitutional
ist cabinet before they can be considered
at a formal conference.
The plan for ultimate Withdrawal de-
pends upon the ability Of Gen. Obregon
to reorganize the de facto government
with a new first chief, who probably will
be himself.
Gen. Scott and his aids, Lieut.. Col.
Niche and Capt. Fitzhugh Lee, have
worked all day coding a report Of the
conference and the recommendation. The
long message was started over the wires
TO Washington shortly after o'clock
this evening.
ObreEon Makes Promises.
Gen. Obregon is authoritatively said to
be willing that United States troops shall
remain in Colonia Dublan until he can
demonstrate his ability to effect the re-
organization Of the constitutionalist gov
ernment. He has agreed to the sugzes-
tIons that he will establish strong mill
tary garrisons in the vicinity OF all prop
erty owned by Americans and other for
eizners.
The entire constitutionalist force now
in the northeast he promises, will be
employed in assuring order, the pursuit
Of villa and the dispensing Of his ban
dts.
Gen. Scott. It is said, agreed to sug-
gest to the President that Colonia Dub
Ian or Casas Grandes be made a con-
centration point for the Pershing expe-
1ttionary force, provided that the Wash
ngton government is willing to consider
Obregon's plan to establish himself or
me whom he may designate, as the titu-
lar head OF the de facto government.
How the United States can enter into
uch political deal with Obregon is not
made clear. First Chief Carranza, while
apparently shorn OF all authority, is the
recognized head of the government.
When this recognition was given the
President announced that Carranza was
.he only individual who represented a
responsible political faction.
