PLAN 7OSTOP
NAVY DISPUTE
Officials Of League Anxious
to End Daniels-Thomp-
son Row.

Efforts are being made to settle the
differences between Josephus Daniels
and the officers of the Navy League
1t was learned yesterday that a
prominent retired officer has under
taken to clear up what he believes
to be due to an entire misunderstand-
ing between Col. Robert E. Thompson
and the Secretary of the Navy.
Little hopes are held out of bring
ing the two men together. however,
so bitter is the feeling between them
engendered by their recent sharp eX-
changes.
It was suggested yesterday that the
probable solution Of the problem
would be a full meeting of the d.
rectors of the Navy League at which
the character of both Col Thompson
and the Secretary of the Navy would
be laudCd. 1t has been suggested that
Col. Thompson might be induced to
remove himself TO a more honorary
and less active connection with tho
league ard that the complete force of
the leagues paid staff. responsible
for the publicity which caused Mr.
Daniels to bar the league from the
navy, would be changed.

Admittance Regulations to Vital
Building Made More Rigid.

Precautions for more elaborate
than usual were taken Satur-
day and Sunday to guard the
State, War and Navy Building. OFF,

reason for caution. but persons en-

have been compelled not only TO show
their passes at the door but also to
guards patrolling the corridors.
Yesterday plain clothes men were
added to the regular force of uni

view Of the fact that the building has
been practically deserted by its off,

week end.
Numerous rumors of spies succeed

EXPECT GERMAN
NAVAL ATTACK
War Experts Base Predic,
ton on Recent Appear
ance of Mine Sweepers.

The German high seas fleet, long
locked in its harboEs, is about to
launch a great naval offensive, ac-
cording TO intimations received in
administration circles here.
War experts have predicted that
Germany would send out her fleet
only as a last, desperate measure
a final. defiant effort to stave Of
defeat and bring about peace.
The intimations received here
that she now contemplates doing
so are based on the fact that with
in the last few weeks large fleets
or a new type OF mine-sweepers,
in reality combination mine
sweepers and destroyers. have been
seen sent out of the German North
Sea ports, far into the sea. appar-
emily TO clear a way for the bat
tleships.
War Vessels sighted.
Entire fleets of these vessels have
come out, however. and have been
seen by the captains of fishing ves-
sells, trawlers and merchant ships
which have put into English ports.
Their activities have been reported
to the Navy Department here, word
OF them first being contained. it is
reported, in the dispatches OF Vice
Admiral William s. Sims, COM
mander Of the American fotilla in
foreign waters.
Taken as an evidence OF the
dying hold of the HohenzoIlerns,
the reports of the activity Of these
German vessels and the plainly i'm
piled object OF their work-to clear
a way for the Germany Droadnoughts
and battlecruisers. have caused
much interest and led to a great
deal Of work by the naval strategy
board here.
There is some unofficial discus
sion Of the possibility OF major
American battleships being sent
aboard to cooperate with the Eng
lish grand feet and possibly the
French feet should the Germans
come out.
The description OF the new YES
sells reaching here is most inter-
esting. They are built on Destroy
er lines, except that they are more
stocky and have an unusually high
bow. Their bridges are high, as
in the case of deStroyers, and they
have high, rakish masts equipped
with wireless and other signaling
apparatus.
The most striking feature, how
ever, is the heavy armament they
carry. There is a high caliber gun
on the bridge, as in the case Of
destroyers, while lighter guns are
posted both astern and abeam.

ROLES TO AID WAR
In This Prospect Government VIII
Devote Study to Problem.

The prospect that government Of
ficials will be forced to recruit
thousands Of women as well as
men to NIL the ranks in munition
factories, If the war is of long dura-
tion, has caused a minute study to
be made of the health, welfare, ef-
ficienCy and conditions of labor in
British munitiOn industries. These
investigate have been begun by
the Council of National Defense, for
the information not only of the
government. but Of the laboring
masses generally. The results of
these Investigations are to be made
public from time to time insofar
as they may be applicable to con-
ditiOns in the United States.
Reports made public today
based upon the survey of the Brit
ish Ministry of Munitions workers
committee. shows that with special
reference to wages. the health and
efficiency of the workers in the
munitions plants are influenced by
the earnings, and that output, which
has been closely Investigated as an
indication of fatigue, may be in
huenced by the wage system in ef-
feet.
Generally speaking" says the
report. payment by time alone has
no direct influence in stimulating
the inclination TO work. while pay
ment by the piece does have such
an influence. Thus in one factory
seventeen girls drilling fuses and
working on the One-pieCe rate
basis, in one week increased their
output by twenty-four per cent on
the day shift and forty per cent
on the night shift over their out
put when working on the time-wage
basis. On the whole night work
is regarded as undesirable, al
though there is no significant diff
ference between the rate of output
in night and day shifts ged on
the discontinuous system which is
preferred to continuous night work,
the latter being productive of
definitely less output"
