ID ARM SHIPS MAY BE
 GIVEN TODAY
President and Navy Ready, Just As Soon as Congress Gives the Word, Which Is Expected Daily.
tBy Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. Mar. 2.- ArmIng of American ships to defy the German submarine menace waits only upon authority from congress which prob ably will be given before another day passes.
 It became known tonight that Pres ident Wilson is ready to give the or der and the navy department had made preparations to begin equipping merchantmen for defense at mo- ments notice.
 The senate debated far into the night the bill approved by the Presi- dent authorizing the arning of ships and the employment of other instru- rights and providing for a bond Issue of $10O,000000. Little opposition de veloped and Republican and Demo cratic leaders predicted passage of the measure by an overwhelming ma jority The house Is expected to ac- cept the bill as substitute for It's own, which does not carry the phrase 'other instrumentallties" and prohib- its the insurance of munitions ships by the federal war risk bureau.
 The cabinet met this afternoon and discussed every phase Of the interna- tional crisis. There was no announce ment after the meeting. though it was learned that the administration con sidered that there was nothing more to be done until congress acted.
 About the only new development of importance before the cabinet was communication announcing that Germany would release the American prisoners of the Yarrowdale on Mar. :. upon the expiration of a quarantine established because a British sailor detained with the Americans had de veloped typhus fever.

China to Plunge In
 War On Allies Side
 Any Moment, Report
Guarantees From Allies Are To Be Given, Also Some Finances and Deal Is Nearly Complee-Wl Give Allies Vast Reserve of Men and Great Open Trade Market After War-Cermany Vainly Tries to Discourage China

Far East in the last month. Oc- casional vague dispatches from China and references in the Reich stag to "China's abandonment of neutrality" have thrown only dim light upon Germany's endeavor to keep China out of the struggle. the entente's moves to bring her in, and China's reluctance to change her present state of peace without adequate guarantees.
 Will Help Allies Much
 China desires to secure the complete remission of the Boxer indemnlties which total over $30.- 0O,O00 year and continue until l94O. If she entered the war the part which otherwise would be paid to Austria and Germany could be repudlated. The entene allies on their part are anxious to have China in the war not only as a reservoir of men but as the biggest open trade market after the war.

WASHINGTON, Mar D. Ne gotiations looking to China's en- trance into the war against the Central Powers now are in prog ress at Pekin and in all the en- tente capitals; it was learned here today and their success depends only upon the harmonizing of the rewards to be given China with the amount of cooperation de manded of her. It is regarded as practically certain that China will sever relations with Germany, and a declaration of war probably will follow if the entente will guarantee satisfactory relaxation of the restrictions imposed upon the eastern empire by the world powers after the Boxer troubles.

 WASHINGTON. Mar.

WASHINGTON, March 2-Con-
 gress finally cleared the way for
 final enactment of the s535,000, ,000
 naval appropriation bill tonight
 after strengthening out a contro-
 versy between the two houses
 which threatened to kill the meas
 ure and force an extra session.
 Old Bill Only Passed.
 The trouble was over the refusal of the house to accept an amendment by the senate authorizing bond issue of Sl5O. O.000.000 to meet added eX- penses provided for in the bill as it passed the senate late this afternoon. The house leaders, pointing out that revenue legislation should originate only in the house, promptly passed a resolution to that effect, and sent it over to the senate.
 After hurried conferences between Democratic and Republican leaders. fearful that 10 reopen debate on the bill would mean it's failure. the senate without roll call passed the measure with the band issue provision elimin- ated. At the last moment Senator Jones succeeded in attaching an amendment striking out the clause making it is crime for a ship building or other industrial concerns to refuse to surrender their plants to the gov ernment in time of war or other pro claimed emergency.
 House to Pass Ar. kher.
 The senate's action was greeted with cheers in the house where it was con- ceded any difficulty over the Jones amendment could easily be smoothed out. In the meantime it was agreed that both houses should put through joint resolution originating in the house authorizing the sl50.000,000 bond issue.
 Provides Sub Chasers.
 Amendments added by the senate to which the house has agreed will in crease the total of the bill as it passed the house by s15O.O00.OOO. and pro- vides that all appropriations shall be available immediately instead of only July l. as usual. Of the amount added S1l5,000,000 is for use Tn rushing to completion warships now under con- struction and 10 pay for submarine chasers and s35.O00.0OO is for fifty sub marines in addition to those provided for in the regular building program.
 Efforts to attach the administration amendments empowering the Presi- dent to commander American ships in an emergency failed because Repub- lican senators would not consent to their passage without debate. Under the agreement So take final vote at four o'clock this afternoon, Vice President Marshall ruled that there could be no separate vote on amend. ments after that hour, thereby killing various pending proposals.
 Building Program Big.
 The great construction program pro- vides for the building or three battle ships. one battle cruiser. three scout cruisers. fifteen destroyers. one de- stroyer tender. one submarine tender. fifty eight coast submarines, ten fleet submarines, and three coast guard cutters.

San Francisco, Calit., July s.
With a brief opening statement by
Attorney Maxwell McNutt, the de-
fense today opened its case in the
trial of Mrs. Rena Mooney, which
grew out of the bomb explosion here
last July. Three witnesses we're then
put on the stand in an effort to i'm
peach the testimony of Mrs. Nellie
Edeau, one of the states star wit
nesses. McNutt said the defense would
prove an alibi for Mrs. Mooney.
I'VE will show that Mrs. Mooney
was on the roof of the building in
which she resided instead of at an
other point nearer the scene of the
explosion where state witnesses said
they saw her." declared McNutt I'VE
will prove this alibi with witnesses
and photographs
The defense, he asserted, would
prove further that Warren X. BIZ
lings, under sentence of life impris-
onment for one of the bomb mur-
ders, was not on the roof of building
with suitcase, as was testified to by
Mrs. Estelle Smith, state witness.

Are Wanted Even if They
Are Not 81 Years Old,


Washington, July 5.-Convinced
that many desirable men are hold
ing back their applications for the
second officers training camp be-
cause OF a misconception of the re-
uurements, Adjutant General Mccain
issued statement tonight making 1t
clear that Intelligent and forceful'
men are wanted even II they are un-
der 81 years of age and without mill
tary training.
General McCain's statement was
given out through the public informa-
ton committee with request that
the newspapers give it prominence.
1t follows;
"tThe statement that mature men
will be given preference for the sec
ond series of officers training camps
seems to have been misunderstood in
some quarters. This preference will
only apply where applications are
equal. There is no intention to bar
out applications by men under 81. In
fact, examining officers have been
instructed to regard the ages 25 to
35 as the most suitable. There is also
some misunderstanding about the ne
cesslty OF previous military training.
The government Is looking primarily
for intelligent and forceful men, and
military experience, though desira-
Bile. is not strictly necessary"
Applications for these camps will
close on July 10.

Washington, July 5.-Belief here
that the monarchical coup d'etat in
China is destined to failure was in
creased today by each new item OF
news, both official and unofficial,
which came to the attention of the
state department. Minister Reinsch
reported that several of the northern
leaders, who are felt to hold
the countrys destiny in their hands,
have taken the field in opposition to
Gen. Chang Hsun's attempt to destroy
tepublcanism in China.
News of the creation of an emer-
gency republican government at Nam
king, headed by some of the strong
est men of China, and reports of ac-
tive military preparations to besiege
the monarchists in Peking, was re-
ceived with keen interest The ad-
hesion of many militarists to the
republican ranks is interpreted here
as showing that Chang far overplayed
his hand and that the greatest gam
BILE of his adventurous life will not
succeed. Nevertheless, fear is felt
that he will make an active resistance
with his considerable military forces
and that an attack by the republicans
and possibly serious damage to Pc
king may follow.
