If Germany is able to turn out large amd powerful submarines in large Tumbers, and keep them coming stead- ily, the task will prove anything but an easy one. The fact that the tonnage destroyed since Feb. 1 has been far below the figure set by Berlin has encouraged ‘the belief in allied countries that Ger- many has already passed her maxi- mum in utilizing the submarine to “starve” Fngland and the nations fighting with that country.

He called. into the federal service pational guardsmen in eastern sga- board states, comprising approximate: ly~32,000 men, for. lecal policing pur- poses. He reorganized the army depart- ments and in a general shake-up of seaboard commands transferred Gen- . eral Leonard Wood, recognized as the ablest’ ‘officer and taetician in the army, from New York to Charleston, S. C. He increased the enlisted strength of the navy to the legal maximum of 87,000. men and instructed Secretary of the Navy Daniels to invoke emerg- ency measures to recruit the 27,000 men the navy now lacks of war strength. In taking this last step the presi- | dent recognized officially for the first time the imminence of war. He acted under the provision of the navy laws that “the president is here- by authorized, whenever in his judg- ment sufficient national emergency . exists, to increase the authorized en- listed strength of the navy to be 87,- 000 men.” Division of the United States into six, instead of the existing four mili- tary departments, was announced by the war department. The two new departments are the northeastern, comprising the New England states and the southeastern, comprising. the states in the old south. Major General Leonard Wood is transferred from command of the de: partment of the east to the new south- eastern department; Major General J. Franklin Bell from the western de- partment to the eastern department; Major General »Clarence R. Edwards from the canal zone to the- mertliemst- | en _department;.

They will be relieved later by the men of the national guard. The marines are guarding the Washington navy yard, the Indian Head proving grounds and powder plant and marine bar- racks. That a call for volunteers will be urged by the president when congress meets has not been definitely estab- lished. It is known, however, that of- ficials of the war department are pro- ceeding on that assumption. Sugges- tions were made, however, that much would depend on the patriotic re- sponse for enlistments to bring the regular army and national guard up to full fighting strength.

The work will be turned. over. to Dutch military officials. Brand Whitlock, minister to Belgium, will go to. Havre, France. In announcing the president's. de- cision the state department minces no words in bringing a sweeping indict- ment of Germany to the notice of the world. It is explained that Mr. Whit- lock has been virtually forced to leave because of the treatment accorded him and that the work of the relief com- mission: has been made impossible by the lawless acts of Germany. “In the course of the past ten days several of the commission’s ships have been attacked without warning by Ger- man submarines in flagrant violation ‘of the solemn engagements of the German government,” the official statement says, adding that protests to: Berlinn have not even been answered, In view of the. present German atti tude President Wilson has reached the conclusion that no pledge or promise from the imperial government can be relied upon. The United. States. points promise to permit American members of the commission to leave without pestriction cannot be trusted, the statement declaring: “The German govermment’'s observ- of its other undertakings has mot such that the department would foal warranted in acoepiing bility for leaving these American pred seas in German oscupled territery.” HIGHER RATES ASKED tending Rauilroade File Petition With: interetate Commerce Commission.

At La Fere the French have taken two forts of the new defense system. If La Fere falls the whole “Hindenburg ling” would be threatened. The French operating northeast of the St. Quentin canal have pushed back the Germans between one and one-quarter and two and one-half miles, and also have gained additional ground on the heights northeast of Tergunier, overlooking the Oise valley, according to the French official com- munication.
