WASHINGTON. March Post master General Burleson announced to- day that after April l. the appoint nents of all postmasters of the first, second and third classes would be sub ject to competitive examinations. Nominations will be sent to the senate as in the past. but in making selections the president will be guided by the results of examinations and will send in the names at the head of the lists.
 Whether the civil service commis- sion. under which fourth class post masters are now named, will conduct the examinations. has not been deter mined
 The presidents forthcoming order will provide for a form of modified civil service classification under which all vacancies, whether caused by res- ignation. removal, or death, will be filled by competitive examination. Those already in the service will con- tinue without examination until the expiration of the four year term be- ginning with their last appointment and will then, it is understood, have to undergo the competitive test.
 A hornets nest was stirred up by the announcement at the capitol, where scores of members were in their of- fices preparing to leave for home. The order was roundly denounced by some Of the democratic leaders and several members construed it as q move to get combined democratic and republican support in politically uncertain house.
 One member suggested that the or der would put many republicans in of- flee, as many of the more active assis- tant postmasters are republicans re- tained by the democratic postmasters and still another wanted to know what would happen if the one man certified from the examination were a negro The postmaster general. according to those present, replied that the exam

WASHINGTON. March 7.-American ship builders engaged on government work entered into aft agreement with Secretary Daniels today to accept new contracts at a fla; rate of ten per cent net profit and pledged cooperation in rushing to completion the navy's con struction program.
 Nistuany all of the larger private plants in the country were represented in the conference. The builders who have been netting from 70 to 90 per cept on merchant steamers said they were willing To turn to government contracts at 10 per cent as patriotic duty. and the secretary on his part agreed Co protect them from undue loss As result. for the present at least, Inc government Nill not consider exercising the authority given by con- grcss to commander plants
 The next step of the department will be Co call upon builders not engaged in government work to undertake such tasks as they are equipped to carry out. For the most part this will con sist of building submarine chascrs and possibly some destroyers. An under standing also will be sought to prevent yards doing private york from drawing men from those with navy contracts.

HOME RULE FUR

[aepublioan A. Q. Leased wireI


 LONDON. March The presenta- ton by the Irish nationalists in the house of commons this evening If resolution calling for the immediate application of the home rule statute to Ireland precipitated one of the most bitter sessions in months and threw tIe home rule question back into its old position of uncertainty. The resolution forced the government into a declara ton of policy towards self government. namely that any part of Ireland that wanted home rule could have it but that no coercion would be employed to com pei Ulster to accept. At the same time, the proposal drew from the Ulsterites the ultmatum that they would not ac- cept, which, coupled with the govern ment's pronouncement, effectually crushed all hopes for speedy settle ment.
 The nationalists tonight, headed by their leader John Redmond. were in conference having withdrawn in a body from the house of commons. and Mir. Lloyd George was facing his first embarrassing situation since he assumed the premiership.
 For more than an hour before the na- tionalists left the house. the premier had faced q whirlwind of angry censure from the nationalist quarter. which at times forced him to take his seat be- cause he could not make himself heard lie was called a .'turncoat" on fhe home rule question, and one nationalist cN- claimed.

He pleaded that home rule be put into operation immediately for the sake of lrland and in the interests of England. the empire and the allies.
 At one point he paid tribute to the president of the United States. saying that President Wilson in his recent speeches and notes had shown that the United States government recognized the rights uf small nations and the principle of nationality. He called at tention to the valiant service rendered by the Irish troops at the front and asserted that they had enlisted with the understanding that home rule was to he applied to their country.

WASHINGTON, March 7.--Ncw ac- ton by President Wilson within the next few/ days in ths situation re- sultine from the German unrestricted submarine campaign was forecast confidently today in administration quarters
 If the form of the action has been determined upon it was not revealed, The possibilities are the armlng of American merchantmen: the convoy ing of the vessels by warsnips; the immediate calling of an extra ses- sion of congress: and the placing of American ships desiring to pass through the danger zone under gov ernment control.
 Reports conveyed to the president during the day that the prospects are excellent for favorable action on his suggestion for a revision of the sen ate rules so that action could be se cured on an armed neutrality reso- lution are believed to bring the call ing of an extra session nearer
 While some officials, notably those of the state department have ad- vised the president that he has full power to arm merchantmen without congressional action. others feel that Sntn Il step Moulu bt SiitN'iiiiiN tii' law. and therefore would be iuad- visahc.
 It is pointed out. however that any restrictions surrounding the armng of vessels do not apply to supplying conveys. The best judgment of the navy department has been against conveying for strategical reasons, but it was considered possible that if no other way is found this course may be adopted.
 The president is understood to feel that tying up of American vessels in port cannot be allowed to continue much longer. He also believes that
 it has been clearly demonstrated that the nation stands behind him in advocating steps to defend American lives and rights.

BERLIN By Wireless to Sayville), March The Overseas News agency today made public the following of ficial statement concerning Germany's plan to have Mexico engage in war with the United States if the United States should not remain neutral after the declaration of unrestricted subma- rine warfare by Germany:
 The decision to begin the unre- stricted submarine war February l having been taken. an eventual con- flict with America had to be consid- cred by reason of it's previous attitude. The facts have proved that the surrnise was justified, for the American gov ernment. immediately after our notifi- cation concerning the barred zone. broke off diplomatic relations. and. moreover. requested other neutral DOW CTS to join in this course of action. Tn anticipation of this possibility it was not only the right. but also the duty of the government. to take measures in time to counterbalance the joining of an additional ally on the side of our enemies
 The imperial minister to Mexico was therefore instructed about the middle of January 10 offer an alliance to the Mexican government and to ar range the details in case the United States should declare war against us. The minister was expressly charged by instructions to take no steps with the Mexican government before he had ob- tained the absolute certainty that war had been declared by the United States.

 LONDON. March 7.-The report cur rent here that Holland is determined to lay up her ships rather than ex- pose them to the dangers of the Ger man submarine war zone is causing so much irritation that it would not be surprising if the governments of the entente should adopt retaliatory measures, unless negotiations between London and The Hague reach a successful conclusion. A well in- formed diplomat expressed the policy of the entente to the Associated Press tonight as follows:
 Should Holland, after stigmatizine the German war zone declared as wholly illegal. acquiesee in the meas urc the entente would be bound tn regard such action as unneutral and would feel constrained to take retail iatory measures even to the possible extent of using their right, which would enable the entente governments to requisition Dutch shipping now within their harbors.

 The entente policy is not purely negative, for should Dutch ships come out. every ofofrt win se made to protect them. Should such meas ures fail. then Germany must be acknowledged as the ton dog. and no blame would attach to Holland.
