GOVERNMENT WILL
TAKE OVER WIRELESS
None viii Be Permitted to
Operate Unless Govern
ment Controls

Washington, April 3.The govern
ment will take over complete control
of all wireless and radio stations in the
United States and territories without
further explanation, said Representa-
tive Alexander, chairman of the mer-
chant marne and fisheries committee,
today. 1t is probable, he said, that
legislation will be enacted in the imme.
diate future giving the navy depart
ment control of the wireless systems of
the country--a step necessary in the
opinion of Secretary Daniels.
"The radio companies are co-operat-
ing perfectly with the government"
Alexander said, "but it is practically
certain that the government will place
its own employees in charge Of these
stations Immediately.
"This may be done, for the time be-
ing, by bringing certain employees of
the companies into the government SER
vice. There is considerable opposition
to actually turning over the wireless
stations, both marine and international
and to the navy department.
Alexander win not introduce at this
session of congress his bill providing
complete government ownership of wire
less plants and stations, which died with
the Sixty-fourth congress, until he has
determined "many new features
This bill would make penal offense
to operate radio station without gov
ernment license. Aliens could not OBJ
tain such license. Thousands Of small
privately owned stations would go Out
of existence.
If. this session Of congress shows 9
tendency to adopt any emergency legis
lation, Alexander will probably wait
he said, until ga more opportune time ;
to introduce duplicate Of this bill.

LATIN REPUBLICS
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL
South America Fears Action
and That Own Interests
Are Hurt
BY Charles P. Stewart

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Buenos Aires, April 3.-President
Wilson S war address was received here
with interest, but no particular enthus-
iasm. The subsidence Of enthusiasm
from that which greeted earlier utter
ances of the American executive was
attributed to the fact that the stand
he took last night had previosly been
discounted and also because the most
influential newspapers, government Of
ficials and politicians have adopted a
cold attitude toward the United States
poliey-an attitude apparently based
on apprehension lest South American
interests suffer.
The newspaper Razon S comment was
illustrative of this view.
"Doesn t the United States consid-
er this an opportune time to consOli-
date the imperialistic policy every
where north of Panama." asked Ra,
Zon.
La Presna remade its early edition
to comment thus: "The United States
is initiating England . abandonment of
splendid isolation-and this led Eng
land into series of offensive and de-
fensive alliances.
"The United States is also abandon
ing its disregard for old world politics
and is entering a struggle for supre-
macy between two European powers.
The editorial does not criticise the
action, but declares it "must excite
the world, especially South America.
Dispatches from South American
capitals indicated today preparations
everywhere for a reaffirmation of the
Latin American republics neutrality.

SIZE OF THE ARMY

Washington, April 3.-Three
million to five million men will
probably be raised for Ameri-
ca IS armies.
At least one cabinet mem
Der wants three million as
minimum; army men recon-
mend up to five million.
The process will be to get
them in increments-in groups
-of 100000, as rapidly as they
can be officered.
Chairman Chamberlain of the
senate military committee says
the inerements can be obtained
at an annual expense of $l56,-
100000 each; the general staff,
however, estimates far high
eT amount.
The navy may be raised to
10000 men, as against pres
ent authorized war strength of
$1,000.

DROVE SIX MILES TO
GET CAPITAL JOURNAL

Here is an American citizen.
Last night, when the whole
United States was on qui vive
over the message Of President
Wilson to congress, farmer
about six miles out of town
called up over the phone to find
out what the war news was. He
was told that the Capital Jour
nal had Just got an extra
containing the president s
speech. He said: alright.
III just go out and crank up
my old Ford and be in there in
a jiffy to get one. "
Now, any one who will crank
up a Ford on dark night and
drive it six miles over bad roads
to get an extra so as to learn
the latest about the war is GER
tainly patriotic. And he found
all he wanted in the Capital
Journal.

Pour Out Blood for Liberty.
For these things we can afford to
pour out our blood and treasure. For
these are the things we have always
protested to desire, and unless we
pour out blood and treasure now and
succeed, we may never be able to
unite or show conquering force again
in the great cause of human liberty.

submit. If the forces of autocracy can
divide us, they will overcome us; if
we stand together, victory is certain

DANIELS FEARS FOE GETS +
SECRETS VITAL TO FLEET
Naval Secretary Forbids Officers,
Crews or Department Employees
From Discussing Activities.

Washington, June 1.-THE navy
department has reason to believe that
information Of character most valu-
able to the enemy, and which might
prove disastrous to the navy, has in
some way reached the enemy" Secre-
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels
has announced.
This disclosure preceded the estab-
lishment of stringent regulations to
prevent persons in the navy from dis
cussing naval and military matters
even with members of their own i'm
mediate families.
I'm view of the strenuous efforts
that have been made to prevent the
dissemination of such information the
department believes that in practically
every instance this has resulted from
certain information being given in
confidence to or spoken in the pres
ence of a close relative or friend who,
failing to appreciate the gravity Of
the offense, inadvertently transmit
ted it into the hands of those who
most desired to obtain it.
"The situation at this time is entire
ly too grave to permit of continu-
ance of present practice in this re-
gard"
Officers, enlisted personnel and CIV
ilian employees are therefore directed
not to discuss any question relating
to the disposition, movements or pro-
posed movements of naval or military
forces .(including personneD at any
time, except officially, either among
themselves or with any person outside
the naval service 1t should be clear
ly understood that families and rela-
tives are to be considered as outside
the naval service
"All persons who attempt to obtain
prohibited information from persons
in the naval service should be regard
ed with suspicion and reported with
out delay to the proper authorities.
Daniels insisted that new regula-
lions are not in any way aimed at
American newspapers, though the or
der had the effect of at least partially
closing usual legitimate news sources.
