 Representative Roberts asked where Admiral Fletcher ranked the American fleet among the navies of the world, and was told that it was 'some place be- tween third and fourth with "a good margin over Japan," which was fifth.

DEVOTED TO PERSONNEL

Admiral Fletcher devoted his entire day before the committe to questions of per- sonnel under questioning by Represen- tatives Roberts, Britten, Kelley and Farr. The conflicting figures as to ships complements presented by the bureau of navigation. the general board and Ad- miral Fletcher himself were discussed at length.
 In this connection, Chairman Padgett asked the admiral to submit his opinion as to the number of officers in highels grades which should be provided for inn mediately in order to relieve the short age in that respect. Admiral Fletcher suggested that in addition to the regu- lar promotions. two rear admirals be ere ated each year for six years six cap- tains a year for five years, 15 command CTS a year for five years, and. that all lieutenants should become lieutenant commanders after eight years service in the lower grade.

 The lack of officers was the most se-
 rious aspect, Admiral Fletcher thought because it requires 10 years to train a competent lieutenant or lieutenant com mander. Nothing that Congress, much less the navy department, can do, he said, can remedy the situation at once Many suggestions as to how the training of young officers might be hastened had been advanced, he added, but in his opin. ion the only effective and logical way would be to increase the Annapolis cadet corps to 2OO0 men and await develop ment.

No CONCLUsION YET

By our action today we have reached no conclusions" said Senator Gallinger, republican. q am in favor of doing all we can to prevent war and I think it wise to advise against American travel ing on armed belligerent ships
 Senator Borah said he favored after full debate having Congress going on record as supporting the right of Amer jeans to go on armed merchantmen, a right recognized for 800 years, and to tell the world that any nation which did not recognize that right would be held to a strict accountability. a
 ''We denounce Germany because we do not like her system of government nor her militarism, he said Yet the Senate of the United States, the highest legis- lative body in the world, was Germanized today We took the same attitude and reached the same result by the same process as the highest German legisla- tive body would if directed by the Kali ser from the throne.
 Suppose the President had said to Rep resentative Pou:
 You will proceed immediately to con- jrre up some scheme to stide debate and tt en take the vote on this resolution, so that I may have the view of the House What would have been the expression Of the people of this country? There would Lave been immediate condemnation so severe and so general that there would have been another remarkable and in- mediate change of views ttse.

IS NOT CONFUSED

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts de- clared that the Senate's attitude could not be confused because of the parlia- mentary entanglement
 Tn tabling the McCumber resolution along with the others Senator Lodge said, ''in the Senate members went on record as opposing a direct warning to Americans and against any interference with executive authority The McCum- Der resolution slightly modified is in order. but it will go to the calendar, and there will be no effort made to pass it''
 We are approaching the issue of peace or war;" declared Senator Sher- man, republican. Ultimately, the way the chief executive is travelling leads but to one close. It will end in war or
 national abandonment and humiliation There is no escape from the end of the way he is travelling. The action of this Senate today may be parliamentary. It may be justified by the exigencies of the situation, but it smacks so strongly at coWardice, evasion and shrking of responsibility that I am justified in ap- plying to it these critical words''
 Senator Lewis retorted that war with Spain might have been averted had similar action been taken by Congress in 1898.

 dicative, malicious and vicious debate

HARDWICK STATEMENT

In statement issued late today Sen ator Hardwick said:
 The greatest blessing that President Wilson's administration has conferred upon the American people is that he has Kept this country at peace with all the world, and at the same time preserved our national honor. Therein lies his strongest hold and his greatest claim upon the American people,
 50 long as his foreign policy con- tinues to make for that result, it shall nave my earnest and heartiest support, put II that policy is to be changed and a course adopted that would involve our country in this European war on either side when, in my judgment, such a course IS not required either by our national honor or safety, but on the contrary is forbidden by both, then I cannot and will not support it.
 Peace-at-any-price' can never be the doctrine of great country, or of brave and self-respecting people, but peace So long as it can be maintained with honor. IS according to my view the greatest blessing that can come to and abide with people, and if I did not do everything in my power to preserve it then would be utterly false to my duty and utterly unworthy of the confidence and respect of the people of Georgia.
 Let President Wilson continue to pre- serve both our honor and our peace. So long as he does I will support his policy. Whenever he fails to do so I shall op- pose it regardless of all political con- alterations and mindful only of my own duty to the people of Georgia and of the United States"

LEWIS IN DEFENSE

Senator Lewis. democrat of Illinois, defended the course of the Senate, and contended that no more expeditions method could have been adopted to serve notice to the world that the subject mat ter of the resolutions was one over whelmingly disapproved.
 Senator Gore said he thought the ad- ministraton victory mixed one. T am content" said Senator Gore. 'I had another resolution which I would have liked to have submitted, but I could get no opportunity That would have resolved, that the executive depart ment of the government, is vested with the authority to carry on diplomatic ne-
 gctiations just as Congress is vested with authority to declare war. It would also have expressed the view that the executive should not be interfered with by Congress in the conduct of diplomatic negotiations; I guess, however, I will not press it..

PRESIDENTS POSITION

President WilsOn's position on the in ternational situation. as revealed further today, was that he had told congressional leaders it was months after the resigna- ton of former Secretary Brya, before the United States government could con- vince Germany that this nation was in earnest in it's position on submarine war fare.
 The President is understood to have mentioned this fact to show his belief that action by Congress would further weaken the position of the United States
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-04
NOT AFRAID OF WAR

'It is most unfortunate that we dis posed of it as we did," said Senator Borah. q am not afraid of war if it is necessary to protect American rights. am not afraid of sacrifice. We cannot hope to play our part in the world if we are not brave enough to make sac- riflce for our rights.
 T am afraid of the subserviency, the degredation of the American Senate in the eyes of the American people. This body, characterized the highest and greatest legislative body of the world, will fall from the esteem in which it has been held by the American people when in great world crisis like this with the eyes of the world centered upon us we come here and cringingly crawl to our destination under the direc- tion of some power without the cham Der. I would rather that a battleship be sunk than to have the honor of this Senate compromised before the world"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-04
DISCUSSION IS PROLONGED

Discussion dragged on in the Senate until late in the day.
 Senator sherman made long argument on the right of merchant ships to carry armament, and Democratic Leader Kern said if no diplomatic negotiations were involved, he would have voted without hesitation for a resolution to warn Amer jeans to keep off armed belligerent ships
 ''The dread spirit of war has well-nigh enveloped the earth,' said Senator Kern. "The President of the United States has given his intellect and his energy for months to stay it's course. In these con ditions he appealed to Congress, not for sympathy, but that the obstacles which hampered his course might be removed
 He told us that tales were circulated in foreign capitals that the American government was not supported by the American people and that the resolutions introduced here proved that ours was a divided nation
 QUICKLY MADE UP
 "My mind was quickly made up. What ever might be my views as to the rights of travel on any ships, would never let it be said of me that in my coun- trys peril I faltered in my support of the President, striving to preserve peace.
 Let us hopeAthe action here today will have a wholesome influence on the capi- tals of all countries where the impress

LINCOLN ILL. AND
LlQUR QUESTION

In the approaching election
the attention of the voters is
called to this question from a
purely economic view point.
Well conducted saloons are not
necessarily a menace and are
not detrimental, in fact town
situated as Lincoln is better off
with orderly regulated saloons
than she would be 'dry"-Why?
Well there is Springfield, Peoria
and Mt. Pulaski within a radi-
us, each of less than 40 miles,
making it easy for Lincoln peo-
pie to go and not only spend
money for liquors, but also 9th
er money which would be spent
in Lincoln. Also many persons
will go and stay for two or
three days and gel into other
pitfalls, therefore it will be more
beneficial to retain your saloons
and retain your employment
and the license money.
