So said Mayor Smith today, when asked
If ho Intended yielding to the demandB of

today. Just as ho was nbout to hold a

Mayor and Senator conferred.
Tho Senator declined to talk nfter the
conference. Mayor Smith said that he
and the Senntor had talked politics, but
declined to go Into details.
In outlining his plans for a vigorous
campaign for both loan bills, upon tho
success of which depends nil his Ideas for
a progressive municipal government, tho
Mayor said:
"No open threat has been mndo to me
by politicians that they would defeat tho
general loan or the transit loan, but 1
havo henrd such a thing generally talked
of.
"Certain persons havo told mo that such
a course would bo taken, but I can hardly
bring myself to bellovo that nny man or

"I appreciate the aid being given tho

passage of the loans.
"As far ns the transit loan goes I
expect the people who will profit most by

may be some people who think the city

President Will Withdraw Nomination

WASHINGTON, April 26. President
Wilson, it was authoritatively stated to
day, has decided to withdraw the appoint
ment of Robert P. Wagner to be post
master of New York. It was learned that
the President received an urgent request
from Mr. Wagner that his name be with
drawn. The latter Is understood to have
said that under no circumstances could
he accept tho appointment.
"No Information could be obtained to
day as 'to who would be selected for the
place. It Is generally believed here, how
ever, that the appointment now will go
to Joseph. Johnson.
THE WEATHER .
The lowering clouds or the louring
clouds, as Will Shakespeare would say,
In spite of the Chicago Judge did not
look well this morning. It was a sickly,
prospecy that the sky presented. The
clouds were ashy gray, and all that ap
peared of the Jaundiced sun were a few
sickly pale rays. The supply of spring
tonlo apparently was exhausted. Rut, on
the pther hand, the sky above Philadelphia
was fair to gate upon, In contrast with
the sky that hangs above the Emerald
Isle today. The red clouds of war have
drifted, as with the wind, across the sea
and are casting their baleful shadow upon
the shamrock. The ould sod la being
drenched with blood.
Rearing these facts In mind, say we,
it Is with a firm conviction that we assert
the sky that looked down, upon Chestnut
street this morning was a very fair sky.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
TO MAKE U. S. NAVY
EQUAL TO GERMANY'S
Construction Program Boosts
Materially That Designed by
Democratic Members of
Committee
SEVEN SWIFT CRUISERS
Pu a Staff Correspondent .
WASHINGTON. April 26. Itepubllcan
members of the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee have arranged a secret meeting for
today to preparo a construction program
that will malte tho United States Navy
the equal of the German navy. It Is the
plan to boost materially the building pro
gram of tho Democratlo members, the
principal features of which are two super
dreadnoughts and four fast battle cruisers.
"A navy that can lick, aermany" Is to
be the slogan of the Ilepubllcans, accord
ing to one of the Itepubllcan members of
the Naval Affairs Committee, 'TVe have
learned that Germany has seven battle
cruisers, but not all of them are equipped
with 14-Inch guns. Some of them have
11-inch. The Ilepubllcans plan to have
seven cruisers, all of them having a speed
of 35 knots or more, and equipped with
H-inch guns. The two dreadnoughts au
thorized by the present bill will bring our
dreadnought line up to that of Germany's.
The republican Party has always stood
for a navy second only to that of Eng
land, "The three fast cruisers which the. Re
publicans propose to add to the program
of two dreadnoughts and four cruisers
favored by the Democrats, can be built
for about the cost of one of the other four
cruisers. The four cruisers agreed upon
are virtually dreadnoughts and cost as
much, but they have greater speed, be
cause their armor is lighter. The cruis
ers which the Republicans want to add
would carry about the same weight armor,
but Instead of being equipped with ten
14-inch guns, as tie othjtra will be, they
would carry only two 10-Inch. Instead of
costing 116,000.000 to J18, 000,000 each,
they could be built for 14,000,000. This
would make tbem very effective for scout
work, and they could engage the older
German cruisers In case of war, leaving1
tbo larger cruisers and dreadnoughts to
engage the modern German cruisers,"

Frenchman Assails German
in Thrilling Battle Off

TEUTON WARSHIP STRUCK
PARIS, April 28.
A French aeroplane, at 3 o'clock this
morning, attacked a Zeppelin off Zee
brugge at a height of 13,300 feet (more
than two miles), throwing nine incendiary
shells at the dirigible, which Is believed
to have been returning from last night's
raid on England.
The Zeppelin turned Its nose skyward
and moved off, but apparently was dam
aged, the French aviator reported In offi
cial dispatches.
Only brief dispatches of the thrilling
air battle had reached Paris this after
noon. It appeared, however, that a fresh
squadron, following out the new policy
of meeting Zeppelin raiders, darted for
ward toward Zeebrugge, when word of
last night's raid on England was tele
graphed to the French coast, for the pur
pose of Intercepting the returning Ger
mans. Climbing to a height of more than two
miles' a speedy French aeroplane maneu
vered until It was aboye. the air dread
naught and began hurling down projectiles.
The Zeppelin searchlights began sweeping
the sky with wide area of light .and Bend-,
ing streams of machine-gun bullets toward
the speeding aeroplane.
The aeroplane discharged virtually all
Its load of bombs before the Zeppelin,
apparently crippled, turned Its prow sky-,
ward and climbed to still higher altitudes
at a dizzy speed.
Meanwhile one of the French planes
participating in the dash along the Belgian
coast spied a German torpedoboat In the
darkness oft Ostend and bombarded the
small warship. Hits were observed, )he

it was Impossible to ascertain exactly how
much damage was done.

Villa, according to Mexican officials
at Juarez. Obrcgpn is onhis way to
El Paso to meet (jcnorals Scott and
Funston for a conference on the situ

Washington belief that Obregon will
be willing to make concessions in view
of the precarious condition of the
present do facto Government and the
fact that he himself is a probable
successor to Carranza and therefore
will not wish to antagonize the United
States.
General Scott will tell Obregon that
Villa must be caught nnd his bands
dispersed; that if the Mexicans can
not do it, and will not co-operate with
the American expedition, then tho
United States will continuo the pur
suit. In nny event, tho troops will bo
held in Mexico until the job is finished.

Is traveling to the border today, determined
to Insist upon one principal demand In his
conference with Major General Hugh Ii.
Scott and General Funston that the
United States forces now in Mexico be
withdrawn.
Mexican authorities In Juarez made it
plain that Obregon would permit of no
compromise In his negotiations with the
representatives of the American Govern
ment. They said that the War Minister
would point out that then could be no
pacification of northern Meueo until the
American troops were withdrawn, their
continued presence there being a menace
to law and order.
The same Mexican officials expressed
the belief that Obregon would receive as
surances from General Scott that the
United States troops would be taken out
of Mexican territory without delay. They
declined to state their reasons for this
belief, but their attitude Indicated that
some of the finest intricacies of Mexican
diplomacy were Involved In the confer
