GERMANS PLANNED
TO ATTACK CANAL
THROUGH HINDOOS

Washington, March S.-Germany' s
India plot proposed to stretch the fing-
ers OF intrigue into the Panama canal.
Information in diplomatic quarters
here shows that the Teutons hoped to
use their Hindoo co-laborers in de-
structive work at the canal. This was
one OF the ambitious ideas in the plot
which has already resulted in arrests
of two OF the leading alleged conspir-
ators in New York.
Germany hoped that through the
Panama canal work she could strike a
critical blow at the United States in
case of war. The Hindoos were to be
used in place of Germans.
The plot insofar as revealed to the
state department and the secret SER
vice shows that Germany scattered her
efforts in India, Guam, the Philippines.
Mexico and other Central American
states.

ILLNESS DELAYS

ment of his decision on the armed mer-
chamtmen question.
Evidence increased today, however,
that orders to Secretary Daniels pro-
viding for Immediately arming Ameri-
can merchant vessels will not be post
poned much longer. 1t was stated by
high government officials that the
president has received assurances from
legal advisers that he has the right
and power to proceed with armed
neutrality" despite the senate's fail
ure to act bn this measure officially.
On the other hand. there were still
many who believed the president
would rather decide to call an extra
session OF congress Immediately and
investigate the favorable outlook for
limited debate in the senate, reintro-
duce the armed neutrality measure and
attempt to get quick action.
At noon DIR. Grayson authorized a
statement that the president spent a
restful night, but had some fever today.
The president is tired as a result of
trying weeks since the diplomatic
break with Germany and has been or
dered to remain in bed until he is ma
terially rested and improved. This
may be several days.

"It is amazing" the editorial says.
that the Democratic majority of the
senate should be hesitating over the
question whether Stacker Bill should
continue to represent his party as
chairman of the most important COM
mittee in the senate. 1t is not whether
he filibustered against the ship arming
bill. 1t is not whether or not he is in
favor of the termination of filibuster
ing methods by the projected change in
the senate rules. The II apostles of
kaserism seem TO be tumbling over
themselves to vote right on that ques-
tion.
1.-The Stacker has never been any
thing but politician. The American
people want a plain American in the
position that the Stacker has held 20
the dscredit of the administration OF
his own party and, if it were possible
of himself. And the time is now or

BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

Copyright, 1917, by United Press.
Miami, Fla, March S.-Answering
the inquiry of the United Press, l beg
to call attention to the fact that there
are two questions instead of one. The
first involves the filibuster and the
second the merits of the proposed leg
islation.
l am against filibustering and have
for several years been advocating a
cloture rule in the senate. l believe
in the right of the majority to rule
and am sorry to learn from press dis
patches that the senate is inclined to
require a two thirds vote for the clos
ing of debate.
A majority vote ought to be suf-
ficient, after each senator has been
given reasonable opportunity to ex-
press his views. To require a two
thirds vote is to give to the predatory
interests the same power that they
now have % prevent legislation hostile
to their privileges.
AS long as the rules permit a mi
nority to obstruct legislation, we may
expect them to be employed to pre-
vent progressive legislation just as
they were employed two years ago to
enable the shipping trust to delay the
presidents shipping bill
Whether the senators should use the
rules to defeat proposed measure is
matter entirely in the discretion of
the senators, who are responsible to
their constituents alone, Just as the
president is responsible to the general
public only when he uses his veto to
defeat measure favored by a major
ity of the senate and house
FINDS NO TREASON.
So far as | have seen expressions
from the senators nearly all of those
who voted against authorizing the arm
ing of ships did so for the purpose of
compelling an extra session of con-
gress, or because they objected to the
phraseology of the bill. Since the
president has power to call special
session of congress at any time and
ask for legislation he desires, the lingo
press will find it difficult to convince
the public that there is anything treas
enable in the desire to have congress
in session.
AS % MERITS OF BILL.
The second question relates to the
merits of the bill. So far as l am
able TO judge, the objections urged
were not to giving authority to the
president, but related to the language
employed, and surely if congressional
authority is needed the members Of
congress cannot fairly be denied dis
cretion as to TIE language to be en-
ployed.
The public has such complete
confidence in the president that
congress would not hesitate to con-
fer upon him any power that he
could himself use, but the presi-
dent cannot ride on the ships him
self, or handle the guns. He can
not even direct the man who
pulls the trigger.
The expert gunner will be some
5000 miles from Washington when
he carries out the authority con-
ferred. He will not only have the
experts desire to test his skill,
but he will be under the imme-
diate direction of ship owner who
may have a large pecuniary inter-
est in landing contraband cargo.
The president has not asked con-
gress to surrender to him authority to
