WASHINGTON. April 10. - The
differences Of opinion between the
administration and congress over
the proper way 10 raise the army of
the United States for participation
in the crushing Of Prussian militar-
ism seriously menaces proper prepar-
alton, officials declared today. They
said that the president cannot ac-
cept the house plan of mingled vol
unteerism and conscriptiOn. He has
decided that the plan of the army
general staff is the only one which
will bring the army TO proper
strength and is prepared TO go TO
any length TO force congress to
adopt that view.
The president already has decided
TO appeal directly to the people TO
aid his cause. Just how this appeal
will be made is not known yet 1t
may take the form of an address to
a joint session Of congress-: a public
address or a note TO the country at
large along the lines Of his recent
manifesto. It is certain. however,
that the president, unless congress
shall change front will tell the ma
ton some plain and unpleasant
truths about the volunteer system

TO Have I'M Efect.

Army chiefs who know the exact
situation openly declared today that
the present delay and especially the
open differences between congress
and the president are sure to have an
i'll effect in Germany. The German
newspapers. by direct order, have
done everything possible TO make the
German people believe that the en-
trance of the United States into the
war was in opposition 10 the wishes
of the people generally The army
men point out that they are certain
TO emphasize the difference between
the president and congress over the
right way to raise an army as proof
OF this fact.
In this very connection all branch
es of the service today began taking
steps to check the rapidly growing
belief that as a result OF the sue
cesses Of the French and British on
the western front the end OF the war
IS i'm sight. That assumption, it is
stated. is discouraging preparation
and is especially interfering with
voluntary enlistments.
Germany is far from being crush
ed officials say, and there is very
little doubt but that the armies Of the
United States must be poured into
the trenches 70 bring about ultimate
and complete victory.

GOES !.
TO INVESTIGATE
FORTUNA Mine

With the departure this morning OF
r. w. Single on the Maui for San
Francisco il was stated upon what ap-
pears to be authentic information that
he has been delegated by Hawaiian
capitalists to secure full control of the
Fortuna mine for the stockholders OF
the Montana-Bipgham Co. as recon
mended in the report Of e. G. Ballen-
tyne. This is, of course, qualified
with the statement, IF the property
appears to be as good a thing as re-
ported"
4 hui Of local capitalists are said
to have gotten together yesterday aft
ernoon and agreed to empower Mr..
Single to take whatever action he
considers available when he reaches
Utah. Because Attorney c. II. Olson
left for San Francisco on the same
steamer as did Mr.. Single, it is said
he is to represent the Honolulu stock
holders in the legal steps necessary
to gain control of Fortuna.
Another statement is that they are
to meet sJorgen Jorgensen, the en-
gineer, on the coast and all three
proceed to the Utah mining property.
If the deal goes through big tunnel
project is considered, upon which
Engineer Jorgensen's opinion is de-
sired. ."....<.
Comparatively, on a small sum OF
money, something over 100000, is
needed to secure full title to all the
Montana-Bingham projects, including
Fortuna, but in case everything Is as
favorable as has been reported great
work will be undertaken.
