 The duties of the commander in chief of the large army now in Sonora have been so arduous recently that for almost a month he has been unable to give attentions to his gubernator- ial functions.

 There may be modifit ation of scme of his policies. among them the strict prohibition law. General Gales said. But there will be ho great change. All of Gales appointees are to be retained in office, which itself argues that the same politics will be in force, the present set of officials being extremely radical in their ten dencies

(Ry Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Secretary Daniels today transmitted to Repre- sentative Butler. of Pennsylvania. ranking Republican member of the House naval committee. a report of the general board of the navy show ing that because of lack of informa- ton regarding additions to European navies since the war began. it is i'm possible to state what building and personal program would be necessary to re-establish the United States in second place among the worlds sea powers.
 The board included in it's report a survey of the fleets of the principal powers as they stood on July 1, 1914. much of the information of which was given by Rear Admiral Benson in his testimony before the naval com mittee.
 The report says there is no au- thentic data available as to the num- Der of types of ships that have been added to belligerent navies since the outbreak of the war. although it is certain that all these nations have been building to the extent of their capacity. As to personnel. the report says the only positive information is that Great Britain voted an increase of 150.000 men in the active person nel of her fleet
 Representative Butler had specified that the program which he outlined was one that would put the navy in se6Dnd place in three years The re- mort says that according to it's best information. the country is now equipped to begin building simu'tape- ouslv within siv months. five dread nauehts. five battle cruisers, nine scout cruisers. twentv-two detrovers and an unlimited number of submar- ines
 The reTrrt points ont that the available sunDlv Of skilled Iahor now undetermined would control in laree manner any plan to speed up the building program.
 Nr Ertler had asked for a state ment also as to when the American navy dropped from second nlace

 100000 MILITIA FOR U. S.

WASHINGTON, May 3. -a Reorganization and federaliza- tion of the national guard as proposed by the House where by there would be created a militia reserve of approximate ly 400. 900 men, was tentatively agreed upon today by the con ferees of the army bill. The Senate's provisions for the na- tiOnal guard were along the same line as those in the House bill. but will provide for only a50.000 men Some of the Senate amendments to the bill may be reached tomorrow.
 The conferees became dead locked temporarily when they reached the federal volunteer army reserve of the Senate bill and after spirited debate the matter was passed ever with out action. This proposed force of 260,000 men, which was twice saved in the Senate by a close vote after it had been bit terly opposed by champions of the national guard, probably will not be agreed upon by the conferees. It was asserted to- night that the Senate confer ees would not yield the point and prediction was made that the committees would have to report disagreement on that feature and seek further in- structions from the Senate and House.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-President Wilson, Secretary Lansing and Col. E. NJ. House held a long conference tonight at the White House. It is un- derstoOd that the ubmarine situation was discussed rut Secretary Lansing said later that he received no word from Berlin regarding the character of the German note, which press dis patches said. probably will be handed to Ambassador Gerard tomorrow.
 The President and his advisers are keeping their minds open while they wait for the German note. The delay has created a bad impression. how ever. and 1t was stated authoritatively today that the issue would have to be cleared up this week if diplomatic re- lations were io continue.
 The President is known to be unalterably determined to adhere strictly to the position assumed by the United States in its demand that Ger. many immediately declare and effec: an abandonment of its present meth. ods of submarine warfare.
 No proposal of any kind will be ac- cepted by the American government, it is said, unless it includes a declar- ation of intention to stop sinking peaceful ships. In this connection press dispatches to the effect that new orders to submarine commanders would be told of in the German note were read with interest by. officials, but comment was withheld pending the disclosure of the nature of the instructions.
 Col House, who discussed the sub marine issue with German officials while abroad for the President sev- eral months ago. arrived here this morning. His coming to Washington was considered significant because he has taken an active part in the Ger man negotiations to date.

Better Signals Needed on
Sandy River & r. L. R. r.

The Public Utilities commission Fri
day handed down its report in the
matter of head-on collision near
Strong station on the Sandy River &
Rangeley Lakes railroad, July 8, which
requests the company Ito do such
things as are reasonably necessary to
prevent a recurrence of the accident
which resulted from the failure of the
engineer of the PASSENGER train to
properly interpret the signals used on
this road.
At about 7.25 A. NJ, July s. 1916,
passenger train No. from Phillips
ran into freight train No. 2, standing
on the main track about 400 feet north
of said station, resulting in minor in
juries to the equipment of the railroad
and very slight injuries to one of the
two passengers who we're in train No.
2.
Our inspector states that the ap-
proaches to the yard at the Strong
station are rather blind and that it is
sometimes difficult for the engineer of
an approa ching train to clearly and
Immediately see the exact position of
the appliances used in connection with
the signal. The general superinten-
dent of the railroad stated to the chief
inspector that the mast is located at
the only place 'where 1t could be seen
from all three of the routes. Our
chief inspector suggests that If the
company could see its way clear to go
to the expense. a semaphore for use Of
trains proceeding in the direction No.
was proceeding would be far better
protection and that the ball and mast
could be used for the other two routes.
This is an operating matter in our
judgment and we simply call the at
tention of the company to the sugges-
ton of the inspector.
The accident is said to be the first
Of its kind that has occurred during
the 90 years that the existing form of
signal has been in use and it may be
that no other similar accident would
occur. The company should, however,
in view of the possibility Of future
trouble, look the matter over carefully
and do such things as are reasonably
necessary to prevent recurrence
which might be attended by much
more serious results.

Praise for I'd Maine
From Officers at Laredo

The following are extracts from let
ters from officers with the I'd Maine
Infantry now at or near Laredo,
Texas. received this week by Adjutant
General George Mel. Presson. They
fail to confirm any of the foolish talk
circulated by some homesick and dis
gruntled men. The highly compli-
mentary words from the regular army
men will be much more appreciated
by the wives mothers and other rela-
tives Of the Maine boys than the
growls and groans of a few dissatis-
fed. They follow, the first being from
Capt Lucian w. Blanchard of Co.
formerly Colonel Blanchard, judge ad-
vocates department. n. G. S. M, anc
the first captain Of Co. B of Rumford
when organized. He has been in the
service for years.
Capt. Lucian W. Blanchard.
We got here o. K. The boys are
all in good health with one or two ex-
ceptions. The heat Is intense, from
10 until s. anywhere from 100 to 10
in the shade, but there is usually
good breeze, so we manage TO i've, as
long as we keep out OF the sun. The
rest of the day is perfectly splendid.
7 am falling in love with the country.
Part Of the men have had to go to the
hospital in the companies. but few are
marked quarters and most of the
trouble seems to be caused by eating
too much meat. AS soon as they get
accustomed to it and take care Of
themselves, there'll be no trouble.
The government Is pretty slow in
getting US their uniforms and under
clothing but I understand that part Of
it is here and the rest will be soon.
That will help immensely. I'm feeling
fine-in fact better than I've been for
two or three years. l think the trip
will do mo an immense amount of
good.
Next week we go on duty on the
border. relieving the regulars. Major
Southards battalion (3d) left Tues
day morning last and is on the way
south to post at Zapata, about go
miles south Of here. Captain Norton's
company I'D left Thursday to relieve
a company Of regulars about 40 miles
back on the railroad we came down
on. This battalion goes along the
river south Of here as soon as we can
get transportation. No mules yet
available. Got horses yesterday. My
company is to be stationed at Santa
Rosa ranch. about Is miles below
here: the other companies below here
on the river.
