Army Bill May Prevent
An Early Adjournment

Senate leaders are not profoundly
moved by the decision Of the Democratic
House caucus last night to speed things
up so as to end the session before the
conventions. The feeling is that such
early adjournment will be found impos-
sibie.
Senator Chamberlain hopes to get the
army bill taken up early next week.
The discussion will take two or three
weeks at least. Even a month of. discus
sion over a bill OF such magnitude and
moment would not be considered too
long.
Men close to the Senate Military Com
mlttee point out that II the country is
practically stripped of all mobile regular
forces for border service, the pressure
OF public sentiment for enlargement OF
the army will increase.
Advocates of a greater navy are SO
we'll satisfied that sentiment for pre-
paredness Is growing all the time that
they are quite willing the naval bill
shall not be hurried out of the House
Naval Committee.

sent 70 representatives here of neutral
nations on the assumption that they
are az much interested as the United
States in the protection Of neutral
rights. The document was not given
to any OF the belligerent diplomats, as
the controversy is regarded as being
solely between the United States and
Germany.
Count Won Bernsdorff has reiterat-
ca to Secretary Lansing under no cir
cumstances will Germany give up the
submarine as a weapon of warfare, be-
cause she contends it is retaliation
for Great Britain's food blockade. The
ambassador has declared, however.
that his government will attempt to
conduct submarine operations within
the law OF nations. This the United
States is willing to discuss after Ger.
many has abandoned her present
methods before.
Against that possibility stands the
declaration in the American note that
the United States has considered from
the first that the employment of sub
marines for destruction of commerce
is by its very nature utterly incom-
patible with the principles of hui
manity, the long established and in
controvertible rights of neutrals and
the sacred immunities of non com.
batants.'
The crisis now resolves itself into
the waiting stage during which Ger.
many will have opportunity TO accede
TO the American demands. Before
