UNITED STATES
READY To ARM
MERCHANT TNEN

WASHINGTON, March .. With
guns, mounts and ammunition for
farming American merchant ships al
ready assembled at navy yards, put
ting the weapons aboard can begin
Immediately on orders from President
| Wilson. Navy officials estimate that
III would take from three 10 five days
per ship, working under pressure, to
equip vessels previously surveyed Tor
; possible use as naval auXillaries. a
longer time will be required for
others.
Navy Yards Ready.
Every important Atlantic coast navy
ward is ready 10 undertake work on
, ships in its district on telegraphic
: instructions from the department. II
lis expected that upon President VII
! sons formal direction that applica-
! lions OF American ships for guns be
complied with, the commandments OIL
navy yards would be instructed spe-
clfically to equip each ship for which
application is made. Aside from
blanket application from the American
line covering all its ships. the navy
department now has only requests Tor
Guns for a few Individual vessels.
The work probably would be done
at navy yards in order that machinery
for handling heavy weights quickly
could be used. Merchant craft would
be sent 10 the yards in turn as their
applications are approved. Ships first
scheduled TO sail would be the first
armed and navy officials expect little
delay in getting them ready for sea
in this order.
Under the Senate Bill
full complement Of guns may be
placed on board each ship. The biz
liners would carry six 6-inch guns
each for war purposes and probably
would carry two or more for defense
against submarines. Most Of them
have deck emplacements already IN
and structural work would be neceS-
sary only to fit proper ma gazines to
insure against fire and explosion.
The question Of providing gun
crews would be taken up for each
ship separately, according to present
plans. II former navy gunnerS with
good records as marksmep are avail
able. they will be employed. If not,
enlisted crews from the navy yards
or reserve warships will be assigned
TO man the guns. The department. j.
anxious TO avoid as far as possible
weakening the strength Of its fighting
line in guRnerS.
Machine Guns, too.
1t is possible that machine guns
would be placed aboard merchant
ships as we'll as the big rifles. Re
ports from Great Britain say that ma
chine gun fire against submarines has
been found exceedingly effective.
, Mounted on Il steamers bridge. high
above the water. the fire OF 4 machine
gun is enough tn drive 4 submarine
gun crew from its unShrltcred weapon
and the German commanders. IL Is
stated, SubmerCe al once if the rattle
of machine gun fire grcets them on
emerging.
Serious damage from machine gun
fire depends on chance 10 large
extent. \ periscOpe might be put out
of commission or tho skin Of a t.boal
puncturpd. if dircCi hits were scored.
At range Of 800 to 500 yards. the
favored distance for torpedo attack.
either Il machine gun OF a 1-pounder
is an effective weapon against sub,
marines.

JAPAN
Has Received No Offer O.
Alliance From Mexico
or Germany.

TOXIC, March $3.50 P. Nj
Japan has received no proposit on
from either Germany or Mexico,
directly or indirectly. to join in
possible war against the United
States, Viscount Motono, Japanese
foreign minister informed The As
sociated Press today.
Viscount Montono said he con-
sldered such an idea ridiculous,
it being based on the outrageous
presumption that Japan wou'o
abandon her allies. II Mexico re-
ceived the proposal, Vscount Mo.
tono added, that country showed
intelligence in not transmitting 1t
to Japan.

HALF BILLION
BILL FOR NAVY
PASSES SENATE

WASHINGTON, March 2.-late
tonight the house formally disa-
greed to all senate amendments
and sent the naval measure to
conference. The action was re-
garded, however, as largely per-
functory. for with the difference
over the bond issue cleared away,
it appeared there was little doubt
of a final agreement on other de-
tails.

when the government got IT, informed
the Senate that the "cridrnCe of It's

of many that tho President probably
knew of the existence of the document
when he decided to delay no longer In

that he certainly knew OF it when. urE-
ing the Senate to ratify the treaty with
