Small Boat Shops

(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10. - Plans for immediate construction of large number of submarine chasers for use by the navy in coast patrol work will be discussed with motor boat builders at conference called by Secretary Daniels to meet here Monday. The types of boats to be ordered. as well as the number. it is understood. will depend on what the builders say as to the capacity of their plants.
 In order to use the small boat shops that dot the American coast. it is pro- posed to build many chasers of wood instead of steel in order to draw on an entirely different character of skilled labor and also lessen the strain on the material market.

MEXICO CITY, March 10.-Henry P. Fletcher, the new American ambas- sador, during his recent trip with the de facto officials has had opportunity to discuss matters not only with them but also with General Carranza. The ambassador, it is understood, is satis- fled that the de facto Eovernment's policy of neutrality will remain un- changed. His impressions, it is said, have been forwarded to Washington.
 Staunchly Neutral.
 MeXico's policy, it is believed here, will not be altered no matter what position the United States may be forced to take, as the Carranza gov ernment still adheres to its announce ment of neutrality made at the time diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States were severed.
 Plot Reaches Capitol.
 It appears to be understood clearly here that while Foreign Minister Zim- mermann's instructions were received by German Minister von Eckhardt. the latter made no effort to approach the CarranZa government with the pro- pOsal.
 The government here takes the posi- tion that it is without responsibility for any intrigue the object of which was to involve Mexico and of which it had no knowledge.
 Germans Swarminu in.
 The proposal of Foreign Minister Zimmerman is not taken seriously here. Reports that many German cit iZens are coming to Mexico have been received here but hardly any have come to Mexico City.

 HITS ANTITRUST LAW.
 Two points stand out in the majority opinion. First, it is Mbtfui, says the opinion, wheth- CT the Sherman antitrust law can reach proprietary relations formed prior to the passage of the law.
 The opinion points out the long rec ord of the Central Pacific lines being operated as a part of the Southern Pacific system, and continues:
 Mustn't Destroy R. R.
 If the antitrust act be construed to reach proprietary relations, as dis tinguished from those of a mere con- tinuous operating character formed long prior to its passage, whereby divergent and tangental lines of road to widely separated gateways or points in the currents of traffic movement are held in a single ownership or con- trol, its enforcement would have such a destructive effect upon established accepted railroad systems of the coun- try that their inclusion within the in tent of congress may well be doubted

Policy of America Is Germany Must Attempt First Blow, That U. s. Will Not Be the Aggressor for War.
BUT ONE ATTACK IS
 SURE TO MEAN WAR
Exact Instructions to Be Issued Commanders When Ships Are Armed, Will Not Be Made Public Now.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, March 10 - The American government today began the actual preparations to arm Ameri- can merchantmen against Germany's ruthless submarine warfare.
 When the vessels sail under the policy of armed neutrality they will do so with the full backing of the dministration-expressed in the form of war risk insurance. and naval guns and gunners. It was made clear to- day that in the back ground will be the entire resources of the United States-ready for action should Ger many attack an American ship in violation of the warning of the Ameri- can government.
 FIRE WHEN "SUB" NEAR
 The state departments view of
 defensive armament as expressed
 today, was that the mere appear
 ance of a German submarine or
 its periscope near an American
 armed vessel would entitle the
 vessel to take all measures of pro-
 tection on the presumption that
 the submarines purpose was
 hostile. This was based a Ger.
 many's announcement that her
 submarines would attack without
 warning any belligerent, or neu-
 tral merchantmen encountered
 within the barred zone
 Secret Instructions. . Whether this position would be em. bodied in instructions to commanders of American armed ships and whether arms and ammunition will be furnish ed to vessels carrying contraband were up for discussion today but no announcement on either point was f.
 Germany Must Err.
 The attitude of President Wilson has been that no steps of a belliger- ent character should be taken and that if state of war comes it must be through Germany's commission of acts in clear violation of international law. Some officials close to the Presi- dent are known ro feel that in line with this policy the United States should not sanction a shoot-on-sight program which might be construed as aggression.
 President Wilson had sufficiently re- covered from his illness today to re- ceive Attorney General Gregory and go over with him legal questions in connection with the new policy of armed neutrality. Most of these ques- tions already have been settled. but for the present will not be discussed publicly by the government.
 Since the policy of the government in the past has been not to insure vessels carrying arms and ammuni- ton to the belligerents, it has been probable that this attitude will be maintained. The lists of con- articles recognized by the United States differ widely from those drawn up by the various belligerents since the outbreak of the war. and therefore it is believed that only ac- tual munitions of war will be placed on the restricted list for the purpose of determining what ships are to be
