OUR SUBMARINE FLEET.
The most extreme peace enthusi-
growing American demand for sub-
marines. There is nothing aggressive
or menacing in d best of such craft-
in our hands, at least. They arecalcu-
lotocronooul notches. and 11111 is
" all we want them for. They cost lit-
tle. as war vessels so The price of
one battleship pays for ten to twenty
of them, according to their size and
power.
The country is likely to llnd much
satistaction in the navy department's
recognition of the weakness of a: this
branch of. the national defense, and
its present efl'ort to build it 1m. The
Atlantic manoeuvres drove home the
tort that we haven't snbeera near
enough‘ submarines to balance thelt
rest of the fleet, and that those we
have are not. very dependable. 0f the
fifty or thereunder-sea boats theor-
etically available, not more than a
score or so would be of much service
in case of need. Secretary Daniels
admits that the extremeniy repid ad-
vance made in submarine construc-
tion latelyhespecia’liy by Germany
,sin‘tge the, war} began. renders a two
yearcld submarine more obsolete
than a threoyear- old automobile. In
creating an effective fleet we must
build it almost from the ground up.
Twenty-sir new submarines were su-
thorized by the last congress..Plsns
tor‘tltem one said to be nearly com-
pleted, and their construction will be-
gin soon. It goes without saying that
they should be the best boats of tho
kind that naval science can produce.
it is well that the navy department
of this hitherto neglected service by
assigning Capt. A. W. Grant, one of
the highest ranking and most capable
officers in the‘navy, command the At-
lantic flotilla and supervise its con-
struction and development. There
will be no disposition4hereafter to re-
gard the submarines as interesting
craft in the British war zone pad the
4Dsrdanelles, they will be treated as
they should be—with the care'and re-
spect hitherto given only to battle-

Vt ASI-IINGTON', June I. —-On today’ s sesas?on of Pres-
idcut Wilson and his cabinet depends tbcmnursc which
tllcU oiled States government will pursue ' one of the ’
gra1est bltcmatioual situations that ever has confronted it. ' ’
Three weeks ago the President and the! Cabinet af-" 4
ter two hours of debate decided to send to Germany a-
" note demanding lull reparation for the loss of more than
one hundred American lives when the British steamer
Lusitania was torpedocd without warning and asking for
guarantees that American rights on the high seas would
not be again violated.
Germany’ a unyielding answer, regarded by officials as
'cvading the main points at issue, was before today' 5 meet-‘
ing. A decision to send a second note, brief‘and emphv
tic; setting forththe American government’s position on
111;». disputed points raised by Germany, was generally
predicted in executivo quarters. What would result in
‘ the event of a non—compliance by Germany, whether the
United States would in its communication indicate its
Course or name a time limit within which a reply would
be expected, were matters of general speculation 'in all
_ quarters.
That the note will not be sent before Thursday 15 the
prc1alcut belief, because Count von Bernstorfi', the Ger-
‘ man Ambassador, has been granted an interview with the
President for tomorrow. Its purpose has not been re-
vealed, but in Austria-German quarters it is said he will
endeavor by informal discussion to reach an understand-
ing as to the wishes of the United States for transmis-
sion to his government at Berlin.
The view that the German Ambassador, because of
his difficulties in cable commiunication, is not closely' 1n~
formed on the attitude of his own government prevails 111
quarters close to the White House, for which reason it is
hardly thought the Ambassador’s visit will alter whatever
determination is reached at the Cabinet meeting. \
Irrespective of the seriousness of the delicate point
that has been reached 1n relations with Germany, the
President has determined to issue today, after discussion
with the Cabinet, his statement to be communicated to all
Mexican factions, demanding an early restoration of order,
by the Mexicans themselves and indicating that unless
fins 15 done some other means will be employed to save '
the population from the Effects of famine and the exten-
. sivc devastation wrought by the internal warfare. '
Tomorrow Count von Bernstoo‘tf, the German .A‘nn
bassador, at his own request, will seo the president. In -
. well-informed quarters, however, it is said, he is not in
close touch with his government because of difficulty tn -
communication. The reply- then 1s expected to go for-

the Socialist ad Radical politicians be-

right to bouow the Royal Order of St.

a decoration of honor, and this has
been a personal Tight of the King

feated. ‘ '
Bills have now again been presented
to abolish the order of St. Olav, and
to forbid citizens trom accepting dec‘

attending the opening and closing of
