Feb. 26.—The direct tor of market of the state of California is Mr. Harris Weinstock, a man of pro gressive ideas who has become well known all over the country because of his service on the federal commission on industrial relations. He is one of the great business men of the Pacific "BOast Therefore his novel and far reaching proposal that the state of Cal ifornia take over through a state agency the whole matter of the marketing of the enormous crop of his state in per ishable fruits will attract wide atten tion. He has been in Washington for the purpose, it is said, of finding out wheth er or not there is anything in the plan which is likely to be looked upon with disfavor by the department of justice of the federal government, and has re turned to California to present the plan <0 producers and shippers. As soon as any state sets itself up as the marketing agent of any class of consumers the tendency to copy it will manifest itself in other states. If the scheme works in the marketing of per ishable products, it will soon be dis covered that there are grievances in the business of producers of those which are non-perishable also. will no doubt find that his g)an will not be adopted without op fAsition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Experiment al long range firing by the Atlantic fleet and information about naval battles in the European war have virtually con ■ vinced the navy department that bat tleships to be authorized .this year should carry ten 16-inch guns each in stead of twelve 14-inch guns. Details of gunnery are confidential but it became Known tonight that the next target practice of the fleet will be held at ranges up io 18,000 yards be cause of the lessons taught by the bat tle between Germany and British battle cruisers in the North sea. where 17,000- yard shots scored hits. The navy general board recommended some time ago that new battleships be designed for the 16-inch rifles and pro posed other military characteristics that made it necessary to increase the ton nage from 32,00 for the California class of 36,000. Officials of the board have urged their views upon the house naval committee in connection with the pending appropriation bill, although the 1917 building program is not yet before the committee. Many officers of high rank, however, have considered it un wise to mount the bigger guns or build the bigger ships. Secretary Daniels has not as yet announced what his rec ommendation to the committee will be, but confidential reports from the fleet are said to have about convinced him of the desirability of the bigger ship pro ject. An order for the first kite balloon to be added to the navy's aerial fleet has been placed, it was learned today, and this latest device to increase the accu racy of gun fire may be tested out dur ing the spring target practice. It is proposed that each battleship be equip ped with a captive kite balloon which will rise 1.000 feet above her decks. The officers observing the fall of shots, now stationed in the fighting tops 150 feet above decks, will be stationed in the balloon basket communicating with the ship by telephone. From their great elevation they will be able, it is thought, to direct salvo fire with deadly accurpcy at targets Invisible from the ship itself. The navy's biggest guns now have a range of twelve sea miles or more, and this probably will be increased mate rially with the new 16-inch. Before the committee recently Admiral Wins low said he had seen weather condi tions in which ships were plainly visible at 30.000 yards, or fifteen miles. It probably was due. he said, to a mirage; but if he had had guns of sufficient range he thought he could have gnaged : his shots so as to make a bombardment 1 effective. Another new feature probably will be added to the fleet this spring when the armored cruiser North Carolina, carry ing six aeroplanes and their crews and a device for launching the aircraft In any weather, joins Admiral Fletcher’s command. The aerial scouts for the first time will play an Important part in the maneuvers and possibly in tar get practice. . PREPAREDNESS!

Plan a-Practical lest t , 1 (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. —The nouse • military committee agreed today upon r the general terms of a bill it expects to . get before the house in ten days pro viding for a regular army with an au thorized peace strength of 143,000 men; a federalized national guard which 5 would reach a fixed minimum strength s of 424,000 in five years; adequate re - serve systems for both of these forces: . and organization of civilian training . camps with wide discretion reposed in . the war department as to the terms of enlistment, training and government. I Members of both the house and sen- • ate military committees frankly admit . ted today that they had doubts whether : a requisite force could be enlisted in • the national guard, even under the pro i posed federal pay and regulation pro l visions, and a growing tendency to pro ! vide for a federal army reserve in addi f tion to the regular army and federalized ’ national guard was manifest in both 1 committees. Members said they favored 1 a practical test of the possibility of ’ forming a federal volunteer army in 1 peace times on lines somewhat similar to the continental army plan. The ap parent intention to abandon entirely the continental project was one of the ; causes leading up to the resignation of Secretary Garrison. LOCAL TRAINING CAMPS. , The senate committee has agreed ten i tatively to a plan under which training camps would be authorized in every con gressional district where sufficient men volunteered for training under an ob i ligation for war service. The maximum ■ force to be thus raised in any district would be a battalion, or substantially the same number as proposed for the I fiist year of the Garrison continental army plan. The camps would be under i command of full complements of reg ular officers. « This tentative plan is in addition to the regular army, and the federalized national guard proposals and is intended io reach men who would not be found m either of those services. Representative Kahn, who has advo cated an extension of the business men’s camp idea to all classes of citizens who would not enlist in the regulars or the national guard, said today that w’lth 30,- 000 men already enrolled for intensive ■ military training this summer without i government aid, he has received assur- | ances that fully 100,000 would be avail- I able next year under his plan. Mem- I bers of the senate committee are un-1 , derstood to take a similar view. REGULAR ARMY FIGURES. The house committee arrived at its regular army figures today as a com promise after suggestions of a peace strength of 220,000. 180,000 and 150,000 had been voted down by narrowing margins. A non-partisan .vote finally fixed upon 137,000 or 2,000 more than recommended by the war department, with a provision to aMow a percentage of over-enlistment In order to maintain . that strength at all times. With this ' provision the total strength authorized would be 143,000. To provide officers to carry out work of instruction at schools, among militia regiments and for other special duties, 1,000 additional ' | men in the commissioner personnel was j agreed upon as* against an increase of j 786 proposed by the war department. • The Increases over the department I 1 figures wouM be in field and artillery, • the former being doubled over its pres ent strength. A total of twelve regi ments or 108 batteries is contemplated. The coast artillery would be increased to a point where regulars to man all mine and torpedo defenses and one-half the guns In fixed fortifications would be available with an additional comple ment to man the proposed mobile guns to be added. I NATIONAL GUARD OFFICERS. | The bill also provides that a national guard officer from each organization be detailed to attend the regular army I service schools of the proper arms, re-! ceivlng the pay of his rank in the reg- ; ular army while on such duty. It con templates authorizing the president to draft the guard into the federal service at any time he deems best, without waiting specific authority of congress, , and would remove all restrictions on ; use of the force outside the country. Several members of the house commit- 1 tee are in sympathy with the senate com mittee’s proposals for the regular army, which contemplate as tentatively agreed , upon a complete reorganization and a peace strength of 175,000 men. In the same way, it. is said, members of the senate committee are willing to accept the judgment of the house body on the scheme to federalize the national guard, insisting only that the placing of the force under federal authority shall be accomplished in fact us well as inten- ’ tion. I FIXATION OF NITROGEN. j The nouse committee will hear army officers Monday in connection with the scheme for government co-operation in establishing plants for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen at available water power sites. The total products of these plants would be available for> powder manufacture in war time. A provision would be inserted in the bill providing for government aid in the project as a war measure. The plan for civilian training camps, , it is stated, will be worked out in con nection with the army appropriation bill to be considered later. The au i thorization contemplated in the present , measure is designed merely to Insure the parliamentary status of whatever legislation of that character may be i included in the money bill. The bill will be given a final review ( Wednesday and members of the commit- ; tee. including Chairffian Hay, thought, tonight it would be completed and fl- ■ nally voted upon then. It will take several days to write the comprehensive , report that will accompany it to the house, but Mr. Hay expects to get it on the floor and secure immediate con sideration for it early in the following week. WOULD BUILD U. S. DYESTUFF INDUSTRY (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. —Democrats of the ways and means committee ex-1 pect to lay before President Wilson next 1 week for his approval, at draft of a bill to build up an American dyestuffs in dustry, which may include an anti dumping provision. It will be designed as a substitute for a bill introduced by Representative Hill, of Connecticut, Re- ! publican. A mass of data on the dyestuffs in dustry and legislation which the depart ment of commerce has been collecting will be placed before the president at the same time CONGRESS SUBSIDES. ATTEMPT TO HAMPER . WILSON IS GIVEN UP >{ Leaders in House and Senate Who Wanted to Pass Warn- H ing Resolution Say “Public ! ity Has Served Purpose” (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. —Secretary 1 ■ Lansing indicated today that the United 1 | States is prepared under certain clr , • cumstances to discuss with the German government what may properly be re garded as defensive armament for mer chant ships. In no event, however, ac cording to authoritative information to night, will the United States enter into such negotiations unless it is assured i that the lives of American citizens aboard ships armed for defense will not be endangered during the discus sion. ’ . Only three days remain before Ger man and Austrian suomarine command ers will be instructed to treat armed merchant ships as war vessels. There was no indication today that issuance of the order, announced in formal noti fication from the central powers for February 29, would be postponed, al though it was admitted that postpone ment would not come as a surprise. Leaders in both houses of congress, who for several days have agitated pas sage of a resolution warning Americans not to travel on armed ships, seemed convinced tonight that no such measure could be put through at present. Sen ator Gore, who has such a resolution pending, said that while he still favor ed a warning, he believed the objects sought by his resolution already had been accomplished through public dis cussion. Representative McLemore, whose warning resolution in the house has been, kept from coming up by ad ministration leaders, said he was con tent to wait until the president and ; Secretary Lansing had opportunity to try out their policy of asserting deter minedly the right of travel on armed ships. AWAIT BERLIN DISCLOSURES. Administration officials were still awaiting the receipt of the appendices to the latest German momorgntiuip on the subject, which contain what is al leged to be a copy of confidential in structions given to British sea captains. If this document contains what the Ger man government claims, it is said to be probable that inquiries may be address ed t,o Great Britain on the subject. The • British government sometime ago as sured the United States that its mer ! chant ships would not operate offensive ly. Germany, in its memorandum, gives |as one of the cardinal reasons for its I determination to sink armed merchant ! ships of her enemies without warning the fact that German submarines have ! been fired upon repeatedly by merchant men which apparently were engaged in peaceful pursuits of commerce. A high official of the state* depart ment, questioned about this contention, gave it as his opinion that there might, in certain cases, be justification for one belligerent committing acts in retalia tion for violations of international law eommitteed by an enemy. The depart ment will not make any decision in this connection until it has had opportunitj' to carefully inspect the appendices to the German memorandum. i It also was indicated at the state de : partnient today that Germany by recent acts had shown a disposition to change I her original position in regard to the | 1 right of merchant ships to carry de-i fensive armament. Originally the Berlin' government denied that it was legal for merchant ships to arm at all. | Now some officials here consider that Germany appears willing to admit that armnament is legal if purely defensive. In other words, it is believed that the German government actually is at- I tempting to change the rules rather than 1 the law. SOME REGULATION LIKELY. Should the subject be opened up for I ' discussion the state department may,' It was said, be willing to admit that there should be some regulation regard -1 ing the size and use of defensive arma ' ment supplementary to the instructions to port authorities issued September 9, 1915. which permit merchant ships to deter from American ports provided they are carrying no more than two guns, mounted aft, of not more than six ! inch caliber. As a matter of fact no [ merchant ships ever have come into | American waters with the maximum of armament provided for. Indications ' that this question would be opened for discussion resulted from publication of j ' confidential advices from Berlin which [ forecast a request from Germany to? the United States to define defensive , armament. , State department officials were em-. phatic in saying that while additional | limitations might be placed upon the defensive armament that may be car i ried, such action could not be extended I to require the complete exclusion of ‘ armament. That would be equivalent, ' it is held, to a change, of international law which cannot be made during the course of hostilities except by general assent. There are strong intimations that the entente allies will not consent to such a change. The first formal reply to the Ameri can suggestion, made weeks ago, for ‘the disarming of merchant ships came today from Italy. It will not be made i public until all the aU'es have respond ed, but it was learned that the document > was not conclusive but --ather was argu mentative. . congress is Waiting. I While agitation on th subject in con gress has subsided for the time being, ; the disposition on the part of leaders in ■ the movement for a congressional warn ;ing seemed tonight to be awaiting one. IBy recessing instead of adjourning the i senate reflected the determinat ion of its i Raders to prevent by parliamentary tac- I ties any discussion of the Gore resolu ' tion.

This end and the three principal objects sought to be accomplished by the passage of the resolution have already been accom plished by its Introduction and attend ing public discussion. "In the first place American citizens characterized by Senator Stone as moral traitors who would recklessly travel on armed belligerent ships, endangering their own lives and the safety or the country, have been practically, if not officially, warned that they must travel at their own peril and without the moral oi legal support of the congress. ‘‘AN UNESSENTIAL RIGHT.” “In the second place the country has been reassured that congress will not sacrifice millions of lives and billions of treasure in defense of a useless and unessential right that ought to be ■with drawn with dignity rather than conserv ed with butchery, and that the congress will not abdicate its constitutional au thority over peace and war in favor of irresponsible adventurers who would, if they could, usurp the power to precipi tate the whole nation into a whirlpool of blood, carnage and war. “In the second place, it has been made Impossible even for the purchasers of the five hundred million-dollar bond Is sue of the allies to bait Germany into a declaration of war against the unit ed States and thus compel the United States to ’ underwrite their investment and guarantee the (yntlnued sovereignty and the ultimate success of their deb tors. “Last but not least, it is demonstrated to the country and to the world, it is demonstrated to those who place the in terest of Germany above that of Amer ica and to those who place the interest of the allies above that of America, that the congress places the true, the vital Interest of America equally above the Interest of Germany and that of the al lies.” Senator Lewis, of Illinois, Democratic whip of the senate, today notified Sen ator Stone that the supporters of the president were ready for the Gore res olution to warn Americans against sail ing on armed merchantmen to come to a vote at any time. “We have made a thorough canvass of the senate,” Senator Lewis said, “and] are convinced that there wilj. be a safe majority against the resolution.” It was a certainty, he added, that the senate would stand by the president.
