WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The
cables were expected to carry today
final declaration to Germany OF
Americas views on submarine war
fare as conceived and drafted by
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing
The document, of possible far reach
ing consequences-brea Of rela-
tions, perhaps-is complete. The Ber-
lin foreign office is expected to know
it's message Thursday night or Friday
morning. The American public prob
ably will read it Friday afternoon, 81
multaneous with publication in Ger
many.
Through Senator Stone and others
in congress who handle questions bear
ing on foreign relations, the presi-
dent was to communicate today to
congress the nature of his note to
Germany How confidential was the
executives statements to Stone ana
the others remain to be seen.
1t has been intimated in the past
that before the president took final
decisive step that might involve the
country in war. he would make known
his course to congress.
The cabinet meeting today, there
was reason to believe, would not be
devoted to consideration Of the COM
munication. The cabinet members
gave their approval last Friday Of
action being taken, the note in rough
form, being laid before them.
That the alleged abuse of the inter
national law and the principles of hui
manity is a continuing, live issue was
brought home, administration leaders
said today by yesterdays news of the
Austrian submarine attack on the
Russian bark lmperator. One Amert-
can citizen having been injured by
shraprel fire, full investigation was
ordered by the state department.
1t is still the profound hope of ad-
ministration officials that a break
with Germany may be avoided. The
communication leaves the way per
fectly clear for Germany to take such
action as will preclude the possibility
of further dangerous situation be-
tween the two governm ents.
The president cites not only those
ships attacked during the last ten
months with Americans aboard, but
also certain neutral vessels OF other
nations attacked during the same in

Such action may be taken without

vention where Wilson's hackers had
expected victory almost without a
fight that is causing alarm.
Wilson men do not believe that
Bryan can win the nomination of any
other man, but they are seriously
alarmed lest he shall have enough
strength to hold third of the dele
gates, all that is necessary under the
democratic two-thirds rule to prevent
the presidents denomination. Even if
Wilson should ultimately win, they
fear that long fight in the conven-
ton will seriously weaken him in the
campaign, the result Of which they
admit is very doubtful.
There is growing fear that Bryan
will not rest satisfied that he has
done his duty to his principles merely
by making a losing fight in the con-
vention. Wilson's friends measure
themselves with the recollection that
Bryan stayed in the party during the
Parker campaign, when his pet the
cries had been repudiated, and that
he is thorough party man. They
believe, also, that the republican stand
will be so much more obnoxious to
Bryan that he will support Wilson
rather than divide the party and as
sure republican success. But as the
increasing evidences of his bitterness
toward the president appear, the lat
ter's friends are less and less conf
dent that Bryan will accept defeat and
stay inside the lines.

hoard states of the country in build
ing the complete system of bases ad-
vocated.
The financing of the plan would
devolve upon the several communities
affected. Following it's establishment
each unit would be turned over to the
naval militia of its state, the offic-
ers of which would direct the activi-
t;es of ,ne airmen. The zones, which
would represent "beats," patrolled
from their respective stations, would
be about 100 miles in length. At the
outset it would only be necessary to
have some Al machines; 1872 airlnen,
who would work in three shifts; radio
installations, and about 40 telegraph
ers. The cost would be approximately
100000.
A number of times each day, in an
event of war, an airnan carrying an
observer, would make the flight over
his course, driving far enough from
land to be able to see enemy war ves-
sells so miles or more off the coast.
Each flying boat would be equipped
with wireless and the scouts kept in
constant communication with the
shore.
This plan has received very strong
backing. Providing interest is man.
ifested by the coast states, it is
thought that it can be worked out so
as to be of inestimable service to the
country. Eventually each station
would have an extra flying boat in
reserve and the whole system be
strengthened.-From the February
