BUILDING ON GREAT
 LAKES
Prosperity Returns to Indus try Long Dormant; Pana- ma Canal, Submarining and Export Factor.

CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-The shipbuild- ing industry on the Great Lakes, after lying dorTant more or less for half a decade, is enjoying a revival of pros perity, according to reports from ship yards at and near Cleveland, O., De troit, Mich, Toledo, O.. Duluth, Mich, Buffalo. N Y.. Chicago and smaller Great Lake ports.
 The opening of the Panama Canal, the activities of submarines and the healthy increase in exports are con sidered the immediate causes of tho shipruilding boom. The claim is made, without denial from the builders, that old ships and vessels now under con- struction are bringing better prices than in many years.
 This boom will bring millions of dol lars of business to the dozen or so of shipbuilding companies. has created new work for hundreds of men and al- ready has caused the rebuilding of old yards and the planning of several new ones.
 The demand is strong for both lake and ocean vessels and only the inabili- tv of the builders to give assurance of delivery of the ships by 1917 stands in the way of even heavier orders. For eign interests are prominent among the buyers
 With the first clash of arms in Flu rope. shippers saw the necessity for obtaining boats quickly to carry mer- chandise 10 foreign and domestic norts. One New York capitalist ob- tsined at least four huge Great Lake package freighters. At the Welland Canal these ships had to be cut into sections before they could continue the trip to the coast
 The tremendous amount of shipping that has gone 10 the bottom in the war zone together with the fact that many of the shipyards in England have been turned over almost exclusively to ships of war. has forced foreign buy CTS to look to American shinbuilders for new vessels and some foreign buy ers are ready 10 put up any ship for sale on the seaboard.
 Cleveland alone reports the closing of contracts for 46 vessels at an aggre- gate cost of more than sS.000.000 and that negotiations are in progress for 20 wore ships. These orders are being filled at Cleveland. Toledo. Lorain and Ashtabula. O.. Manitowoc, Mich. and Buffalo. N. Y. The yards at these cit ies are said to have all the business now that they can handle during the year.
 The Toledo Shipbuilding Company is working on an eastern order for five schooners with auxiliary power plants 70 he used in coastwise trade. lake freighter 500 feet long also is being set up at Toledo. The total tonnage Of the Toledo contracts is said to be 10000.

Arrival of Date Named by the Germans for Increased Un- dersea Warfare Causes the Gravest Anxiety.

 FORCE U. 5. ACTION
Dissension in Congress Ham, pers Wilson, Who Would Put House On Record; Berlin Gives Assurances.

WASHIGNTON, Feb. 29.--Results of the new Austro-German submarine campaign are awaited by the United States with grave concern. Although under the new instructions the TeutOn- ic commanders are authorized 10 sink without warning all armed enemy mer chantmen. it, is understood they have been told 10 make sure, if possible, that no American citizens are aboard any ship attacked. Furthermore. in her latest communication, Germany has assured the United States that new orders have been formulated to .prevent destruction of enemy liners "on account of their armament. unless such armament be proved"
 The attitude of the government to- ward this new policy is not determin- ed Wilson discussed it with Lansing and then laid the German communica- ton before the cabinet Delay of im- portant appendices prevented the cab inet from reaching decision.
 Meanwhile. if any American is in iufed by an tack of submarine on a merchant ship which does not or has no intention of using armament. oth- erwise than defensively. grave sit uafion will arise.
 The United States stands this time, as she always has. for rights of Amer ican citizens to travel in safety on de fensively armed ships. If German con tentions are sustained and il is proved ccnclusively that a ship on which an American may be injured used defen- sive armament for offense. it is con sidered unlikely that this government will take action. The United States has never contended that ships com hitting attacks or under order do so. are immune from submarine de- structiOn.

THE BRITISH VIEW.

LONDON. Feb %. - Answering queries as to whether merchantmen had been instructed to take the of fensive against submarines. Lord 'The British view has always been that defensively armed merchantmen must not fire on a submarine or other warship, except in self defense. The Germans twisted the passage in the document, taken from transport which they sank, into meaning that merchantmen have instructions to take the offensive.

GREATEST PEACE TIME

Admiral Knight Continues His Testimony Before the House Naval Committee. Urges Haste in Building.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 29.-The pre- paredness campaign will enter a new phase next week. In all probability bills providing for increasing the army an extent never before contemplated
 in time of peace will be introduced .n both branches Of Congress ther The House Military Committee. to- morrow, will begin a final review. oi the measures tentatively agreed upon which, it is stated, will be altered only in minor details before being favorably reported. The final vote, probably, will be taken Thursday.
 The Senate committee has agreed only. to insert the general provision for the liberalization Of the National measure, leaving the task of putting the legislation in final shape for q joint conference committee to which the two bills will go. By its action, the Senate made it possible to bring out its bill next week.
 Rear Admiral Knight continued his recommendations before the House Naval Committee that every facility in the country should be employed to hasten the construction of feet equal to those of any two nations except England.
 American policies, such as the Arfa the control of the Panama Canal and the open door in China, he daclared, constitute a great and growing threat of war unless adequate preparations are made to uphold them.
 Knight said it would require thirty months to make the navy efficient enough to meet the present German fleet with any hope of success. The time limit he set was the minimum required to build nine battle cruisers and eight fast scouts. He said it would take eighteen months to put the ships of the Atlantic fleet in full active commission in readiness for war.
 Major General Barnett, commanding the Marine Corps. urged an addition of 150 officers, fifty two warrant off cers and 2379 men to the corps to bring it up to the strength advocated by the general board and approved by Daniels, which is on a basis of one fifth of the strength of the navy per sonel.
