SOME RADICAL
CHANGES|N THE
NAVYPR0GRAN|
LARGE SEA-GOlNG TYPES OF SUB
MARINES ELIMINATED; THIRTY
OTHERS PROPOSED, NEW BASES
SOUGHT.

Washington, April 1.-Secretary
Daniels touched on all sides of the ma
val preparedness program in lin
uing his testimony Friday before the
house naval committee. He proposed
various notifications in addition tC
the five-year building program indors
ed by President Wilson, including
elimination entirely of the provision
for great sea-going submarines in the
1917 estimates. Thirty l. type or X
type boats may be the number agreed
upon.
Other new features proposed by Mr.
Daniels were:
Construction of a great dry dock Il
Norfolk and possibly at Philadelphia
Establishment of a marine, aviation,
and submarine base at San Diego, Cal.
Study of the Pacific coast to deter.
mine the best location for an addition
al navy yard there, probably al Los
Angeles or San Diego.
Expenditure of $4,000 to clear the
approach to the Charleston, S. c., yard
for heavy draft ships.
Promotion for Operations Chief.
Authorizing the rank of full admir-
al for the chief of operations and fixing
his powers by law on an equality with
those of chiefs of bureaus.
In connection with the building pro-
gram Mr.. Daniels made public the IA
nous report of the general board in
policy for the navy for the first time
and aimed at battleship fleet of forty
eight by 1921. If it had been approved,
he said, the United States would have
reached second place among the pow
ers of the world and remained there.
AS an annual building program the
board proposed two battleshirs, cne
armored cruiser, three protected cruis-
ers, four scout cruisers three de-
StroyerS and two colllerS.
The secretary also presented a ta-
bic of the worlds naval tonnage which
showed that Germany and the United
States passed France in naval powers
about the same time, in 1911. Accord
ing to these figures the United States
navy never has been in second place,
France dropping from second to fourth
at that time, while Germany became
second and the United States third.
Adequate Oil Supply Urged.
Secretary Daniels told the commit
tee that if congress passed pending
bills, a large part OF the navy's reserve
oil lands in California would be taken
away. Unless an adequate oil supply
at reasonable prices could be assured,
he said, it was questionable whether
the construction of oil-burning war
ships could be continued.
Taking up the building program,
Mr.. Daniels made public for the first
time the report of the navy general
board of 1903 which was designed to
keep the United States navy in sec
Ond place.
IF it had been carried out" hes aid
1--WE would have had 20 dreadnaughts
and 10 battle cruisers by 1919. 1t would
have placed us superior to Germany at
the beginning of the present war We
kept in second place to England up to
1909, when we dropped back and Ger
N.any took second place"

CONF FESS|0N
Of ALLEGED
GERMAN Spy
Won DER GOlTz lMPLlCATES
MANY IN HIS CONFESSIONS -
TAUSCHER is ON LIST TELLS
OF WELLAND CANAL PLOT.

Washington, April department
of justice officials announced today
that two alleged conspirators with
Captain Hans Tauscher in the plot to
blow up the Welland canal, We're un-
der arrest in New York, that a third
was under surveillance in New Eng
land and that they expected to ar
rest fourth in few days.
According to the story told depart
ment agents by Horst Won Der Goltz,
the alleged German spy brought TO
New York by Scotland Yard detec-
tives last Tuesday, the plan to blow
up the Welland canal was known to
Captain Won Papen, the withdrawn
German military attache, who furnish
ed money for the work.
Won Der Goltz was quoted as say
ing that Won Papen had indorsed the
Welland canal proposal after it had
been decided that it would be i'm
possible to lead large armed expe-
dition to Canada from the United
States. Won Der Goltz had sought to
enlist Germans in Baltimore, Hobo
ken and New York and department
agents say he declared he was acting
with the knowledge of Won Papen.
Won Der Goltz came to the United
States in July, 1914 from Mexico.
where he had been on General Villas
staff, and reported to Won Papen.
Plan to Invade Canada.
The plan to invade Canada, he
told department agents, had been his,
not Won Papen's. After he had OBJ
tanned Won Papen's Endorsement, Won
Der Goltz said. he went to Baltimore
to induce Germans of the crews OF
German merchant vessels tied up
there to Join him. He also tried to
obtain recruits from German sailors
at Hoboken and New York.
After time, Won Der Goltz said,
the plan was abandoned. The intend
ed point of invasion, officials said,
was west of the great lakes The
forces which Won Der Goltz wanted
to raise for the expedition was to be
sufficiently large to engage the at
tention of the troops Canada was
training to send to Europe"
When the plan was abandoned, Won
Der Goltz said, he proposed blowing
up the Welland canal. Tauscher was
to furnish the dynamite and Won Der
Goltz was to take four men with him
to do the work.
The additional arrests announced
Friday were of men in the party, Of
fcials said, and had been made some
time ago. but kept under cover until
the investigation could be completed.
First Arrest Month Ago.
The first arrest was made in New
York nearly month ago, where the
prisoner, German named Busse, is
now held secretly by department
agents. The second arrest was made
in FL Paso about two weeks ago, and
the prisoner, who spoke broken Eng
lish, said his name was Tucker. He
was selling metal replicas of the Ger
man cruiser Emden. He was taken to
New York and later told the depart |
ment officers his true name. He
that he had been one of Won
Der Goltzs companions in the pro-
ject to destroy the Welland canal.
Busse is held under a charge of con-
