VESSEL DETECTED
MAKING SURVEYS AT PANAMA
Incident Results in Hurrying Propos-
ed Revision of Laws Against
Spying Aliens

Observation-Disclosures of per-
sons suspected of being spies employ
ed by foreign governments to acquire
information regarding the nature and
extent of the defenses of the Panama
canal have made the administration
decide to request congress to supple
ment the existing laws against the
improper acquisition of knowledge of
military and naval plans and fOrti-
fications.
Representatives of the department
of justice and the war and navy de-
|partments have been in conference
on the subject and it is expected that
they will agree upon some very dras-
tic legislation to be submitted to con-
gress.
Several of the military powers of
the world are believed to have un-
dertaken to obtain information as to
the character of the defenses of the
Panama canal. The latest incident
to excite suspicion is the operations
of little Japanese power vessel, os-
tensibly a fishing launch, which
sought to obtain permit for pearl
fishing in the waters of Panama bay
and vicinity. The canal authorities
have been warned that this craft ap-
peared to have been making surveys
and that these were not confined to
the water, but extended to the
isthmus proper.
The canal zone authorities have
regarded the matter as of sufficient
importance to warrant investigation
and report to Washington. Mean
while licenses have been withheld un-
til some general line of policy can
be formulated to govern all such
cases.

If this theory is true, it is agreed
In Washington tonight the way out
probably will have to be found in
Berlin. The almost openly expressed
feeling toward the German embassy,
it is believed. will make it hard for
an agreement to be reached between
the embassy and the state depart
ment. There is almost unanimous
belief on the part of administration
officials that propaganda by the en-
bassy is making further negotiations
impossible
The personal feeling on Lansing's
part came to the top, it was said to-
night, when he found it necessary to
deny report that he intended to
resign. This report grew, it was be-
lieved, out Of fntimations that he had
conceaed the German position regard
ing armed merchantmen, but had
been overruled by the president. The
latter was an intimation denied
earlier in the week.
Constant suggestion that Germany
had been given assurance that the
U. s. would back her in the armed
merchantmen decree was the thing.
however, that resulted in the whole
story concerning this decree coming
to light. Administration officials con-
sented to make known the secret
steps that has led up to the present
situation. The explanation follows:
Early in January Teutonic officials
intimated that a decree would soon
be issued ordering all submarine COM
manders to sink without warning any
armed ship. Changed conditions of
sea warfare, it was contended, made
changes in international law neces-
sary. This, together with copies of
secret orders the British admiralty
was alleged to have issued to all ship
com manderS, to resist any attempt to
torpedo and to sink all submarines,
led the state department to an admis-
sion of the 'reasonableneSs," of the
Teutonic attitude.

promises, but let it become known to

vendi would be proposed.
