STEPS TO BE sEcRETIvE.


STEPS TO BE sEcRETIVE.
The president does not state wheth-
er or not the government will furnish
gunners as well as guns to merchant
ships. This probably will be disclos-
ed as soon as the orders to Secretary
Daniels providing for arming the ships
are made public.
Henceforth, however, the govern
ment's steps will be more and more Sc
cretive. The president desires the CO.
operation Of the press and the public

which may serve to preserve lives.

ship is armed, and where 1t Is bound.

cable office in the country not to send
out any statement as to a ship move
ment, either incoming or outgoing.
NAMES NOT MADE PUBLIC.
The names of the vessels which
will be armed first will not be made
public.
In reaching his decision today the
president had the legal support of both
Secretary of State Lansing and Attor-
ney General Gregory. And in calling
the extra session he fulfilled the in
Limation that he would so act as soon
as the United States senate modified
