TAKE MEASURES TO CLOSELY GUARD ALL VITAL POINTS Naval and Military Posts and Property Safeguarded in Advance Washington, Feb. 5. Precautions to safeguard naval stations, posts and arsenals and other service property constituted the military measures taken by the government f following the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany. President Wilson conferred briefly with Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels after his address to Congress. The conference, it was stated, had to do entirely with precautionary steps, although the Secretaries also prob ably gave some general information as to the Nation's preparedness for war. It was made clear that the ad ministration had no desire to take warlike measures unless forced to do so by some act of Germany. No state ment was forth-coming as to whether a military policy had been decided upon to be applied in that event. The following specific orders went out during the day: The \Vliite House and White House grounds were closed to vis itors for the first time in many ycars. All navy yards and stations were closed to the public, only employes and officers and enlist ed men of the navy to be ad mitted until further notice. Officers commanding army posts, arsenals, magazines anil coast batteries were directed to exercise every precaution. The State, War and Xavy Build ing was closed to visitors and cards of identification were Issued to employes and press represent atives entitled to admission. Publication of tile daily ship movmccnt list, giving the depart ures and arrivals of navy vessels, was suspended. Secretary Daniels said there was no change in the orders of the Atlantic fleet. "The fleet will continue maneuvers in the Guantanamo region," he said. Measures of national preparedness taken wihin the last two years make it unnecessary for the War and Navy Departments to do much work that otherwise would have to be begun im mediately. For the navy a survey of all mer chant craft under the American flag and of all .small pleasure craft and power boats has been virtually com pleted. Guns for the arming of merchant ships have been assembled at the various navy yards with plans for the structural work necessary for putting them aboard already worked out. The availability of each vessel so ex amined for some particular part in a naval mobilization has beeu deter mined and all data in regard to it placed on file. For the army and navy both an inventory of the manufacturing re sources and plants of the country has been carried well forward each plant examined having been listed for its best use in producing war munitions. A text book on munition manufacture has been completed and is about ready for issue. From it private manufac turers can learn quickly the steps necessary for the conversion of their plants to war uses. The Council of National Defense, created last year, already has taken over the co-ordination of industries ** lor war purposes and has worked out in part its general plans. Resolution Endorsing Wilson's Action in Breaking Introduced in the Senate Washington, Feb. 5.—A resolution endorsing President Wilson's action in sqtering diplomatic relations with Germany was introduced in the Sen ate ta-day by Senator Stone, chairman of tire Foreign Relations Committee, emphasizing particularly the Presi dent's expressed desire to maintain peace. 1 The resolution recited the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany and concluded by declaring "that the Senate approves the action taken by the President as set forth in his ad dress to Congress." Senator Stone requested that the resolution go over for a day under tho rules for action to-morrow, and it was agreed to without debate. Republican Senate leaders, among them Lodge, Gallinger and Smoot, were consulted and the Republicans will suppot the endoscment. The text of tho resolution follows: "Whereas, the President -has, for the reasons stated in his ad dress delivered to the Congress in joint session on February 3, 1917, severed diplomatic relations with the Imperial German gov ernment by the recall of the Am erican ambassador at Berlin und by handing his passports to the German ambassador at Washing ton, and "Whereas, notwithstanding this severance of diplomatic inter course the President has express ed his desire to avoid conflict with the Imperial German government, and, "Whereas the President de clared in this said address that if in his judgment an occasion should arise for further action in the premises on the part of the government of the United States ho would submit the matter to the Congress and ask the authority of Congress to use such measures as he might deem necessary for protection of American Veamen and people In the prosecution of their peaceful and legitimate er rands on the high seas. "Therefore, be it resolved, by the Senate that the Senate ap prove the action taken bv the President as set forth in his ad dress delivered before the joint session of the Congress as stated above." U-Boats and Chasers Would Be Built First in Case War Comes Washington, D. C., Feb. 5. Fur ther steps to make the navy ready were planned to-day by Secretary- Daniels at conferences with Chairman Padgett, of the House naval commit- lee, chiefs of all bureaus and assist-, ants. In a general way plans include new legislation to empower the President io take over shipbuilding and munition plants and other private concerns which might be of value to the armv and navy. Formal suspension of the eight-hour law applying to navy yards may be included in the program, as the lim ited amount of shipbuilding labor available necessitates it. Indications are that the Navy De partment would decide, in the "event of war. to put the building energies of tho country to quick construction of submarines and submarine chasers Under this theory it is held that In <ase of war with Germany onlv spo radic light cruiser attacks and sub marine operations would be expected. MONDAY EVENING, PEACEFUL CONTINUANCE OF RELATIONS APPEARS VERY SLIGHT IN GERMANY Berlin, Sunday, Feb. 4, via London, Feb. 6.—Peaceful continuance of Ger man-American relations after the de parture of the respective embassies at "Washington and Berlin in the sense indicated by President Wilson in his address to Congress appears to be very slight, judging by all the informa tion, some of the highest authenticity, gathered by the Associated Press. " . It was stated positively in high po litical circles that the German orders for the conduct of a submarine war could not and would not be modified; that In Germany the determination to enforce the prohibited zone order was absolute and final, and that the onlv security for shipping was in avoidance of the prohibited zone. -No Animosity Toward United States Germany, so the Associated Press was informed, resorted to this meas ure after the "shameful" rejection by WILSON VISITS WAR AND NAVY HEADS TO DISCUSS SPEEDING PREPAREDNESS Washington, Feb. 5.

The government had hoped that the United States would see it in this light and was and is actuated by no ani mosity to the United States in its de termination. Germany, therefore, so the high informant of the Associated Press continued, is very keenly dis appointed and grieved by the terms of Sir.

HXMUSBUBG irfSBV TELEGRAPH SCHWAB KEEPS I WAR PLAN SECRET Steel King Refuses to Disclose Measures For Turning Plant Over to United States Atlantic City, N. J.. Feb. s.—Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Beth lehem Steel Corporation, refused to discuss the possibility of turning over tho company's plant to the govern ment in event ijf need yesterday at the Hotel Trayinore. He tactfully evaded all direct questioning and remarked that he would not talk on the matter at present. Recent public utterances, however, have given rise to the belief that Mr. Schwab has not only considered such action, but would stand ready to offer every help in the crisis. MK Schwab, it is understood, will meet Eugene Grace,_ president of the concern, in New York to-morrow. Guard Force Tripdled at Bethlehem Plant South Bethlehem, Pa.,' Feb. s.—Po lice and fire department protection at the Bethlehem steel works and the Rcdington fuse plant is triple what.it was yesterday, said a high oflicial. Every part of the local works, such as the water plant and electrical depart ment. which are considered vulnerable points, ar# being carefully guarded. Sheriff Richards, of Northampton county, lias been asked to be in readi ness to furnish deputy sheriffs in large numbers at a moment's notice. Governor Brumbaugh lias been communicated with and it has been pointed out to him how necessary it is to have part of the State constabu lary in readiness to rush here in any emergency. There arc represented among the 26,000 men at the local steel works about thirty-seven nationalities. About 4 0 per cent, is made up of men of Ger man descent, Hungarians and Aus trians. These men present a serious problem should war be declared against Germany. Any treachery on the part of foreign workmen is being watched for most assiduously, and the future alone will determine whether any number of them will leave their work out of sym pathy for tho Fatherland. The gen eral impression is that the men will stick at work. Chief Burgess Slieehan has policed the town thoroughly and will not allow the congregation of for eigners in groups on the. streets. It is stated that the local plant has been placed entirely at tho disposal of the government in the case of war. This means that the millions of dol lars' worth of contracts the company has on hand from the Allies will be held in abeyance. The Lehigh coke plant, which fur nishes all the coke that is used at the Petlilehcm steel works and also manu factures much high explosive war ma terial. is taking on every available per son possible to augment its police force.
