WASHINGTON, D. C., Mcy 18.—
The House naval committee today I
r delivered its report and recommen-1
dations. Its building program is
generous and includes five battle
cruisers, four scout cruisers, of both
which types the American navy pos- ‘
cesses not a single one, ten destroy
ers, twenty submarines for the first
years building program.
The enormous sum involved In
this program is getting on the nerves
of the pacificists, but that it will
pass is certain for .Claude Kitchln
the majority leader and a pro
nounced pacificist himself, came out
flat-footed with the declaration of
his intention to support in entirety
;and without qualification the pro
gram. Republican leader Mann says
while the increase is considerable,
it is nevertheless insufficient.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May IS.—
Women celebrating tho first Hague
convention anniversary would have
Wilson take steps to ask Germany
through Count Bernstorff to issue in
structions to its consuls to urge aM
German subjects to scrupulously
observe American laws.
The women adopted a resolution
to this effect today and it has al
ready been presented to the Pre
sident. ,
No action will be taken.
BRITISH CONDUCT PROBE IN
MATTER IRISH REBELLION
i
LONDON, May 18.—Tho British
government is now conducting a |
probe into the Irish revolution and
the matters preceding it.
Today convincing testimony was
given showing that tho government
was itself to blame for having been
caught napping when the revolution- 1
ists took so many centers in Dublin.
Today a witness showed that the
government had furnished it ample
warning and in detail all the plans
of the rebels, but had simply pigeon
holed tho particulars that had been
received, makng no preparations to
provide against the revolutionary
action was impending.
The evidence ha3 created nef end
of sensation and tho question is
asked why the government allowed
j the revolution to gain the head It
, did, meaning so much bloodshed and
wanton destruction of property.

ASQUITH VIS.TS VARIOUS
IRISH CITIES INVESTIGATE
I
DUBLIN, May 18.—Prime Minister
Asquith visited various cities
throughout the country, in some re
ceiving a warm and in other obtain
ing a hostile reception.
He stated today that he is con
vinced that the manner now obtains
in governing Ireland must be radi
cally changed.
LONDON, May 18.—Asquith’s tour
of Ireland is being watched with
various feelings. Unionist papers
like the Mail suspect that there is an
mason to believed that Asquith is
convinced that Home Rule is an
impossibility following his investi
gations and that he is resolved that
a much sterner method of jurisdic
tion under British control must ob
tain. The semi-official Daily News
denies this wholly, declares that As
quith is satisfied that a much more
liberal method must obtain in all
executive departments and is more
convinced than over of the vital need
for home govornmont in Ireland.
DUBLIN, May 18.—A meeting ot
the Irish Privy Council was held hero
today whereat the entire Irish situa
tion was gone over Tn the presence
of Mr. Asquith. It is practically de
cided to remove martial law and al
low civil procedure even in the
political cases which arc yet await
ing trial. The killing of editor
Skeffington is also being considered
by the Council.
The situation is much quieter to
day than at any time sinco the out
break, practically everything being
aagin normal. Much robuilding has
begun.

SENATE ACCEPTS ARMY BILL
AND PEACE AGAIN REIGNING
WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 18.—
The senate accepted the Army Bill
as agreed to by the conforers a week
ago. There is no reason why that
august body should not accept it as
the Army Bill as it passed the con
ference is much more closely re
sembling the Chamberlain than the
Hay bill.
With the House It may be differ
ent although there is such am anxiety
to rush work through it is likely to
be accepted after some murmur.
The administration also is urging
the passage of tho bill, and in fact
has already begun to frame work
along the lines laid down by the mo
dified bill.
The trouble of re-organization of
the entire army system which is in
volved in the new system is admitted
and many of the obstacles which the
War Department will have to con
tend with will be such as to make
it doubtful if the bill can be imme
diately in some respects carried out.
The difficulty also of rocruitlng a
sufficiency of men fill the Increased
numerical strength of tho standing
forces is a problem that even the
recruiting department of the army
has some trouble in handling.
