Washington officials learned today
that Tinoco has enlisted the support

Mexican army to Costa Rica to aid
General Tinoco. 1inoco won Car
ranza's sympathy, according to these
advices, by pointing out that Mexico
and Costa Rica were the only coun-

Tinoco is said to have blamed Pres

inasmuch as Nicaragua is regarded as

SECOND To NONE
NAVY POLICY HAS
BEEN ABANDONED
Secretary of Navy Tells Com
mittee That Trend of World
Toward Universal Peace
Makes 1t Unnecessary.

Washington, May 2a-The policy of
the navy department for a fleet sec
ond to none in the world has been
temporarily abandoned.
Secretary Daniels appearing before
the house naval affairs committee to-
day to outline the needs of his depart
ment for the next fiscal year, recon-
mended that the entire 1919 three
year building program of ten battle
ships and ten battle cruisers be aban-
doned, saying that the trend of the
world towards universal peace and the
operation of the proposed league of ma
tons made completion for supremacy
of the seas no longer necessary.
The naval secretary asserted that as
the United States had taken a foremost
part in promoting the league of ma
tions plan it would be this nations
duty to show faith IN the covenant by
refusing to authorize further large ad-
ditions to the sea forces. Work on
the 1919 program, n, said, should be
completed as soon as possible but the
1919 program, which it is estimated
would involve an expenditure Of more
than billion dollars, should be "wip-
ed off the slate"
There can Ice no halfway ground"
he said. Either we must have the
league to safeguard the Interests of
every nation, or the biggest navy in
the world
Mr.. Daniels said If the United States
did not launch neaa gtlding programs
other nations would follow the exam
pie and change their naval plans ac-
cordingly. Great Britain, France and
italy, he asserted, were waiting on the
United states,
The secretary touched upon almost
every feature Of the navy's WORK I'm
the war and will continue his testimony
tomorrow.
There has been no change, he said
respecting a division of the fleet half
of which will be known as the Atlantic
and the other half az the Pacific. The
division will be equal as to dread
naughts and ships of every type. he
said.
Members endeavored TO obtain from
the secretary an expression as to
whether the navy had formed an opln-
ion as to the future Of the submarine,
but he said this had not been con-
sidered
The real big thing that should have
attention, Mr.. Dan els said, is aviation
lie declared that the navy should have
at least forty-five million dollars this
year for experimental purposes most
~ so that by December it would be-
possible to outline specifically the ex-
act needs for the next year or two.

New York. May 29.-4-The Interna-

great shipping combine organized by
the late j. p. Morgan. will be dis
solved If the stockholders at their
meeting next month approve the pro-
posal to sell to a British syndicate the
British owned ships and assets of
the corporation. 1t is then proposed
to distribute all the assets of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine among
the stockholders.
At a special meeting of the direr-
tors of the Mercantile Marine COM
pany today the following resolutions
were adopted:
That II is the sense of the board
that in case the proposed sale Of the
British assets should be approved by
the stockholders and the sale carried

That such distribution should be
effected by a distributed in kind of

pany, limited, (Which represent the
British assetsl and by sale of the
American assets and distribution of
the proceeds thereof"
That the stockholders. who will hold
a special meeting June 16. will approve
the sale is considered a foregone con-
cusion. The liquidation of the COM
pany will involve the payment of about

100000 will be paid, the company will
have left to dispose of six liners oper-
ated hv the American line, two under
the Belgian flag and three of the At
lantic transport company, an Ameri-
can corporation.
p. A. S. Franklin, president of the
company, refused to discuss the ques-
tion as to whether a purchaser had
been found for these ships, or as to
whether it was proposed to organize
a new company with these ships as a
neucleus.
From time to time there have been
reports that the American interests in
the International Mercantile Marine
and other strong American interests
contemplate creation of a great ship

ceived with manifestations of Joy by
the families and friends of Americans
resident in northern Mexico. These
people, several hundred of whom re-

that American aid to the Carranza
cause would be the signal for general
massacre and destruction of the prop
erty of Americans in territory con-
trolled by Villa. The ease with which
VIII and Angeles captured Parral one
of the largest towns in the state OF

the inability of the federal forces to

(SpeclaI CdDle I)eSpdtCH')
Berlin, May 29.-America won the
war, according to Field Marshal Lud-
cndorff, who expressed his authorita-
tive opinion very explicitly to me as
follows:
France and England would have
been beaten in 1918 but for America
Gen. I.udendorff's keen, logical an
alysis led to the laconic statement
that America proved to be the de-
cisive military factor of the war. The
American reserves swung the deci-
sion. They alone made it possible to
pun the worn out French and Brit
ish divisions out of the line and TO
reorgani2e ever fresh offensive ar
1ries."
The loss of the war seemed a sen
sitivelv sore subject about which to
question Ludendorff, but he stood the
brief probe without betraying a qulV-
or of emotion. His attitude toward
life appears to be to stand up and
talk of the past with stole dignity, as
becomes an old soldier.
Does not simulate Friendship for
United States.
I gathered the distinct impression
that Ludendorff has no special love for
America or Americans, but on the 9TH
feet a fake affection. preferring 10 re-
gard America as worthy foe unfor
tunately encountered on the battle
field.
Il have no reason for wanting to
flatter Americans" he said to me,
land neither have I any reason for
Withholding my just verdict of hate
either"
Bitter as the realization may be
TO him personally, he sees that Cor
rnany's sole salvation perhaps lies in
regaining the friendship, and in not
encouraging the enmity of America.
at is my wish that the two coun-
tries may find each other again" Lu-
Gendorff said
1t is understood that he deals ex-
haustively with Americas part in the
war in his forthcoming book, but he
said in response to questions:
Il won't say word about my book.
7 don't want it to appear that | am
trying to advertise it."
Our Soldiers Good. Training Below
OF the American army he said brief
ly:
1.-THE soldiers were good, Their
training however, was not up to world
war standards"
What Ludendorff considered short
comings of training, due to short
me in which the Americans had to
train, really made no difference. how
ever. They were trained quite enough
to win the war, because they arrived
in time and in sufficient numbers.
Ludendorff does not hold that the
war was won and lost at the Marine
and his view of the second battle of
the Marne will come as surprise to
