Presbyterian Board
Will Investigate the
Church Seminaries

Atlantic City, N. j., May 2s.-The
Presbyterian general assembly, in
session here, today adopted a recon-
mendation that the theological sem
inaries affiliated with the church be
investigated by committee of seven
as to their relationship to the church
and the assembly with view of max
ing the relationship more secure, uni
form and mutually helpful.
The assembly at Rochester, N. ",
last year, rescinded the contract of
1870" whereby the assembly was
given authority in ratifying faculties
in all Presbyterian seminaries. This
year an overture was presented re-
questing that the Rochester action be
reversed and the 1870 compact re-
sumed. The overture, il was said, was
aimed at Auburn and Union semi
naries and the adoption OF the recon-
mendation avoids a contest with re-
gard to these institutions.
The committee on bills and over
lures In reporting on the subject to-
day made a recommendation saying
ave recommend that a special
committee OF seven, four elders and
three ministers, be appointed by the
moderator to take under eonsidera-
ton the questions that have been
raised as to the action OF the general
assembly OF 1915 regarding this com
pact OF 1870, especially as to the hear
ing ot this action apon the legal
status of all our scminaries and also
TO investigate the whole subject OF
tho relationship OF these seminaries TO
the church"

WILSON SPEAKS
SEVERELY IN HIS
NOTE TO ALLIES
Tone of Washington Communica-
ton Said to Be as Vigorous as
That of Message to
Germany.
OBJECTION IS TO METHODS
No Difference as to Principle Be.
tween State Department and
Entente in Matter.
HANDLING OF MAILS THE RUB

Washington, May Is. - Vigorous
language, equalling almost that en-
ployed in the last communication to
Germany on the submarine issue, is
understood to characterize the notes
delivered to the British and French
embassies here yesterday protesting
against interference with neutral
mails.
1t is understood there is no sub
stantial difference as to principle be-
tween the State department and the
London and Paris chancellories re-
gardin gthe broad question Of inviol-
ability of first class mails on the sea.
The American objection is based
on the methods used by the allied
governments in handling these mails.
The United States does not con-
cede the right to even inspect first
class mails in transit on the high seas,
assuming that these do not include
anything more than correspondence
and are not made the vehicle for
supply OF contraband to the belliger-
ents. The fact that neutral vessel
carrying mails between neutral coun-
tries is compelled TO come into bel
Iigerent port to comply with bellig-
erent naval rules, it is held, does not
remove the mail matter on board
from the privileged character of mail
on the high seas. s..-
A resolution authorizing the trans
portation of mail to and from neutral
ports on naval vessels and declaring
that ANY interference with our mails
shall be resented by such ships with
all power OF the navy and OF the
ships" was introduced today by Rep.
resentative Tague of Massachusetts
It was referred TO a committee.

APPROPRIATION FOR
NAVY is TOO SMALL
Republican Minority Report Says
Navy Should Be Made Second
in the World.
ASKS THIRTY MORE WARsHIPs

Washington, May 2s.-Repubican
members Of the house naval affairs
committee in minority report sub
mitted TO the house today denounced
the $24l 100000 naval appropriation
bill, reported by the majority as
wholly inadequate and urged more
liberal allowances to make the United
States navy the second greatest in the
world.
The minority charged that the ma
jority report ignored opinions OF
naval experts and recommendations
Of Secretary Daniels and was based
on compromise between interests
which wanted no additional naval pro-
lection and those which wanted only
slight increase.
Big Program Advocated.
The republicans recommended that
the bill provide for two dreadnoughts
omitted by the reported measure, six
battle cruisers instead Of five, fifty
coast defense submarines instead OF
twenty, $3,500,000 for aircraft instead
Of $2,000,000, still greater increase in
personnel, creation OF a national de-
fense council and means for rushing
the building program by using more
than one shift OF workmen daily.
The report suggested that the two
dreadnoughts be built according to
the plans now ready for the California
and Tennessee, so that all might be
finished simultaneously The bill
should provide, the report declared
for the full number OF men required
on a peace basis and should authorize
the president 10 order, at his discre.
tion, enlistment OF such additional
men as the navy might aeed, not to
exceed the 88,762 recommended by the
general board.
More Men Necessary.
I'VE have seventy-two submarines
built and building" said the minority
report. "The lowest estimate Of oui
requirements by any naval authority
is $50"
Commenting on the proposal for Z
defense council, il said
"Experience in modern wars has lec
all other great nations to establish
such council to insure unity, con
tinuity and cooperation in al
branches OF national defense

Constantinople, who was arrested on
suspicion OF espionage at Warne-
mund, Germany, a month ago, willis
on her way to the United States, will

PAPERS DISCUSS WILSON sPEEcH

BERLIN, May 24.-Via London,
May rs, Delayed.--A wireless dis
patch from the United States, giving
the substance OF President Wilson's
speech at Charlotte, N. e., in which
he referred to the possibility Of Amer
lean mediation in the war, is given
the place OF honor in the morning pa
pcrs The afternoon editions return
ing to the subject and their COM
mcnts, together with the wide inter-
est shown by the German public,
show how important this news is re-
garded here.
Willing to Consider.
Though definitely stated nowhere,
there is little doubt that Germany is
willing 10 consider a tender OF good
offices TO inauRurate peace negotla-
tions. The former attitude in the
highest quarters that America had
disqualified itself as a peace mediator
on account OF its shipments OF rnu-
nitions to the allies has now changed,
If President Wilson can hold out any
tangible possibilities that peace may
result through his mediation, Ger
many will undoubtedly be willing TO
consider such suggestions as he may
offer.
Not Suing for Peace.
This receptive attitude is naturally
susceptible TO the construction that
Germany is not in a position OF an
nouncing her position of acception
OF the good offices except only to
find the allies later rejecting the ten
der and asserting that Germany is
suing for peace. There is equally
little doubt the great masses OF the
people, aside from the professional
editorials from the newspaper Off,
ees willing 10 see America in the role
OF peace Intermediary despite the per.
sistng bitterness over the munitions
question.
All Stocks Affected.
The rumors OF mediation have af-
fccted the Berlin stock market

orally weak, dropped lower still or

trail countries were contemplating Z

TALK COMES FROM
The WHITE HOUSE
President Discusses Prospect Of
Negotiations Looking Toward
Bringing Peace to
Europe. vs.
EARLY ACTION IMPROBABLE
Terms Must Be Arranged That Will
Care for Interests of All the
Belligerents and All Neutrals. !
MANY ELEMENTS IN SITUATION

Washington, May 2s.-President
Wilson told callers today that the in
tervention of neutral in behalf Of
peace in Europe could rest only on
mutual understanding by the bellig-
erents' that terms to be arranged are
to conserve the interests Of all and of
the world at large, rather than those
Of particular group OF nations
among the warning powers.
Mr.. Wilson did not disclose any
definite plan Of action he may have
formulated in regard TO peace, nor
authorize a formal statement of his
attitude. His callers gained an inn
preston however that the president
would entertain suggestions that he
extend his good offices to the bellig-
ercnts TO bring about peace only when
the conditions he outlined were likely
Of fuliillment
No Immediate Action.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out TO his. CALI
ers that there are many elements in
the situation in Europe all OF which
must be taken into account in eonsd-
GRAFTON of peace proposals. While he
is eager 10 see the conflict ended as
soon as possible, the White House
visitors were able to gather no inn
preston that a move by the United
States to bring II about is in imme-
diate prospect, at least.
Representative Hensley, OF Mis-
souri, discussed with Mr. Wilson his
amendment to the naval bill adopted
by the naval committee, authorizing
/ the president 10 invite other nations
to participate in a conference at the
close OF the war with the object of
setting 10 a court or other tribunal
TO settle international disputes. Mr.,
Hcnsley told the president that he
believed this amendment made the
naval bill an assurance TO foreign ma
tions that the United States was arm-
ing for defense only, not for any of
fensive purpose, and was ready 10 ems
ter into an agreement to settle inter-
national disputes amicably.
The president did not commit him.
self definitely TO the amendmentA Mr.,
Henslcy gained the Impression that
he was favorable to the general prin-
ciples involved.
While Mr.. Hensley would not re-
veal details Of his conversation with
the president he left the White House
satisfied that the president would do
everything possible TO bring about
peace in Europe and TO maintain il
after the end of the war.
