This action, presumably by the

of efforts on the part of the British
trade to prevent further, American
competition. Tied up with govern

private trade with government con-
tractors, British factories have been,

by the government, British business
is to be forced by the government to
put up with inferior equipment or NJ

This action on the part OF England
tallies closely with that of France,

NO SOUTHERN TRIP
FOR THE PRESIDENT
He Thinks That He Has Convinced the
Country of the Need of National
Preparedness.

Washington, Feb. s.--Southern con.
gressmen who called yesterday at the
White House to urge President Wilson
to visit their districts should he make
another speaking tour for national pre-
paredness, gained the impression that
the president might not make another
trip. He has not yet made up his mind,
it was said, and probably will leave the
question open until he has canvassed
thoroughly the congressional situation.
The callers said the president believed
the country had already shown its APP
prevail of adequate national preparedness,
and that he might well remain in Wash
ington to work with Congress leaders on
the subject.
Many members of the House and Sen
ate expect to confer with the president
on preparedness during the week. The
president also expects to discuss revenue
legislation, the shipping bill, the pro-
posed tariff commission and the Philip
pines.

PRESIDENT WANTS
MORE TIME ON
PHILIPPINES
Not Yet Ready to Approve Senate Bill
Granting Independence Within
Four Years

Washington. Feb. s.-President Wilson
yesterday told Chairman Jones OF the
House insuar committee that he wanted
time to consider the Philippine bill passed
by the Senate last week before deciding
whether he favored giving freedom to
the Philippines in from two to four
years, as the bill provides, or when the
Filipinos should establish government
in accordance with plank in the last
Democratic platform.
Representative Jones pointed out to
the president that the Senate bill provid-
ed for granting independence to the is
lands but provided no machinery for
carrying its object into effect. The pend
ing House bill. he said, had been drawn
in accordance with the Baltimore plat
form of the Democratic party, promising
freedom to the islands as soon as they
should establish government.

National Defense Legislation
Still Pending-For
Bigger Navy

Washington. Feb. s.--The administra
tons legislative program, particularly
national preparedness and the Lusitanif
ease, gave promise yesterday of occupy
ing much of President Wilson's atten
ton during the week.
The president has engagements to con
fer with many senators and representa-
tives in furtherance of his efforts to ex-
pedite the work of Congress on the army
and navy bills.
He is anxious that these measures be
disposed of as soon as possible so that
other legislation may be taken up, in
Guiding the shipping bill, the tariff com
mission bill and revenue legislation.
Whether the president win make an
other speech making tour in the interest
of preparedness hinges upon the outcome
Of his conferences with congressional
leaders as we'll as the Lusitania affair.
While the president has been advised
that he made a deep impression on his
recent trip, he has not learned whether
it has had "a definite effect on Congress.
The Philippine bill, already passed by
the Senate, was up for discussion at
conference yesterday between the presi-
dent and Chairman Jones of the House
insular committee. 1t is said that efforts
will be made in the House to amend the
bill.
The measure is said to have met the
presidents approval as it passed the Sen
ate.

Colombian minister, Julio Betancourt,
that President Wilson had not approved

Angle of Fire Is Too Great,
Say British
Critics
COULD NOT SEE
THE TARGET
A Twenty-Mile Range Use
less in the North
Sea

London, Feb. s.--The idea that the
German fleet will come dashing out OF
the Kiel canal some day, equipped with
l7-inch guns that will blow England's
dreadnoughts to pieces, was ridiculed
by British naval experts yesterday.
The story about the l7-inch gun was
first printed in London paper. The
inactivity of the German navy, il was
explained, was due 10 the fact that
these new guns, capable of hurting more
than a ton of metal Il distance OF TWEEN.
~ miles, were being placed aboard Ger
man warships.
Official utterances on the subject are
taboo in London. Nevertheless, it was
learned yesterday that British naval
officers believe the l5-inch gun, with
which the monster Queen Elizabeth is
equipped, is the maximum calibre for
real efficiency, especially in the North
sea, where the British and German
fleet might clash.
The angle of she'll from a l7-ineh
gun must exceed so degrees, it was
stated. The range of the weapon is
twenty miles. At this distance, it was
argued, it would be necessary for the
Germans TO assign small vessels to the
business OF sporting" hits on enemy
vessels. Great Britain's swift cruisers
md destroyers would drive in the Ger
man spoilers" forcing the l7.inch
lreadnoughts to come within range of
.he smaller but more accurate British
runs.
And then we would simply blow
hem out Of the water" said one naval
ritic.
The hazy atmosphere of the North |
ea, it was further stated, would make
t almost impossible to establish an ae- /
urate range for shells fired distance I
