This is the opinion of one of the
highest naval authorities expressed
this afternoon. Referring to reports
that the German high seas fleet was
preparing to slip out and engage in
battle, he declared, I'VE would well
come such battle. There is nothing
in the world that British and Ameri-
can naval officers would desire more
No matter what the results on land
might be, he pointed out Germany's s
position will be worse than before the

can fleets remain. Germany would be
shut off commercially and in a posi-
tion where it would be impossible TO
dictate peace terms advantageously to
her, WITHOUT first having won a de-
cisive naval battle. And that she can
not do, the speaker felt certain.

WASHINGTON, March 26. - Steps
should be taken by the allies to coun-
ter the German propaganda drive to
induce Italy to quit the war Represen-
tative Thomas Flynn of Alabama
warned today. "I believe the boastful
reports of military success on the
western front emanating from Berlin
are aimed at Italy" he said. General
Auffenberg said Important things
should happen in Italy But he did
not mean military operations. Re
ports of new German victories in the
west are being sent into Italy con-
tinually, l am informed. That sort of
thing can have only one object.
Claims of success by the Germans
make Great Britain, Franch and the
United States only the more determin-
= ed to win, but this is calculated to
have a different effect on Italy Their
purpose is to discourage Italians and
so draw them into a separate nego-
tiation.
THE United States cannot do it but
it behooves Great Britain and France
to see that no report of German sue
, cess that does not stand in fact goes
\ uncorroborated. This is most import
ant To overlook this insiduous prop
aganda during the thunder of military
attack, perhaps, but 1t may be, unless
we protect ourselves against such o
Y result, that mere words will have won
for Germany what her armies could
not win-namely, victory over Italy .

BILLION
FOR THE THIRD
LIBERTY LOAN
Estimates of Government Expen-
ditures Were Too Large So
Bond Issue Will be Smaller
Than at First Anticipated.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-With
the third liberty loan figures fixed at
three billion dollars and over sub
scriptions" the machinery for it's au
thorization was speeded up today. Ma
jority Leader Kitchin and the house
ways and means committee began
preparations for the necessary legis-
lation which will be rushed through
congress so that subscriptions may
open, as planned, on April 6. The leg
islation will include the necessary au-
thority to fix the interest rate at four
and one-quarter per cent and for the
creation of "a sinking fund with which
the parity of the bond issue can be
maintained.
1t is expected that authority will be
given to issue additional bonds
amounting to four and one-half bill
lions; additional blocks OF treasury
certificates of indebtedness; to make
such additional loans to the co-bellig-
erents of the United States as are
necessary; to deposit income and ex-
cess profits taxes with national banks,
state banks and trust companies in
the same manner as the proceeds of
the first two loans were handled
One very significant result of the
conference between Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and Majority Lead
er Kitchin here was the statement
that the estimates of necessary ex-
penditures by both the United States
and its allies have been too large.
They have fallen even below the fig
ures made by Secretary WoAdoo. This
has resulted in very much smaller
bond issue being planned than had
been deemed necessary. The new is
sue will not be convertible, indicat-
ing that the interest rate, IA per
cent, will prevail on all further bond
issues needed.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March 26.-Gunfire and pa

common consent the American and

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Until
the Anglo French forces on the west
ern front can launch counter often
sive which will check the German
drive the situation must remain criti-
cal in the opinion of army officers
here today. The outlook, while improv-
ed, is fraught with many dangerous
possibilities. The very presence on
German general officer who has won
success during the present war en-
phasizes the importnce which Ger
many attaches to the great battle, Of
ficers here say. They continue hope
full of the final outcome but maintain
that it far too early yet to tell with
any degree of certainty whether the
German pressure has attained its
maximum.
In this very connection officers here
are divided as to the exact German OBJ
jective. Many think it is to pave the
way for a sweeping drive on Paris
Others that the channel ports are the
hope of the German staff Either is
possible at present, it is pointed out.
That the Anglo-French counter of

Alleged Revelations of General
Wood and Unsatisfactory
Progress Given as Cause for
Censuring Administration.

WASHINGTON, March pa storm
of criticism against the conduct of
the war broke out in the senate again
this afternoon after a lull of nearly
six weeks 1t exceeded in violence
any previous outburst in congress
since the United States entered the
war.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
led the attack The senator declar
ed that the day of silence was past.
He served notice that from now on
he would endeavor to give the truth
to the American peopl to tn best of
his ability. He sounded the gravest
warning to the nation.
At no far distant date, he declared,
America may be forced to fight for
her very existence as an Independent
nation.
Today's eruption was inspired part
ly by the German drive and party
by the alleged revelations of Major
General Wood yesterday before the
senate military affairs committee. The
supposed unsatisfactory progress OF
the shipping program, aircraft pro-
duction and the output of artillery
were largely contributing causes al
so.
Senator Lodge as well as numer-
Gus other senators, including mem
bers of the senate military affairs
committee, had another conference al
the capital today with General Wood
The suggestion was made that Gen
eral Wood should be heard in open
session of the military committee.
"By God, l am against any open
session that is going to criticise the
war department" shouted Senator
Kirby of Arkansas.
Rather than provike further hostil
| itY senators abandoned the idea.
