Lord Kitchiner, who occupied a commanding position- at the time the decision was taken, was in faver of the project. Both Lord Fisher and Sir Arthur Wilson would have preferred a joint naval and military attack, but they did not express to the war council, and were not asked to express any opinion ‘on the subject, and offered no objection to the naval operations.as they con- sidered them experime and such as could be discontinued if the first results obtained were not’satisfactory. The commissioners think ‘that there was an obligation, fifst on the first lord ,secondly on the prime minister, thirdly on one other member of the war council, to see that the views of the naval advisers were clearly put before the council and that the naval advisers should have expressed 'their views to the council, whether asked or not, if they considered the project which the. council was about to adopt was impracticable from a npaval naval point of view, “Looking at the position which ex- isted on Jan. 13, 1915, the commis- sioners do not think the war council were justified in coming to the de- cision without much fuller investiga- tion of the preparation which had been suggested to them. The com- missioners hold that the possibility of making a surprise attack on Gallipoll offered great military and political advantage that it was mistaken and ill-advised to sacrifice this possibility by. deciding to undertake a purely naval attack which from its nature cauld not obtain completely the ob- jects set out in the terms of the de- o Preni‘e in {he Balance. “Thé decision taken on the 16th to mass troom in ‘the neighborhood of tect. interstate. eommerce states ahd in the navigabl v.nn d the United States. j* “Be {t resolved, that it is the senss of the senate mttm-powcrhnqt derived nor necessarily to any "ot ithe provisions of the laws - that have to do with thése provislons, of the constitution and laws that. relate tp the fostering of commerce betwesn the United le and: lol'\llfl m tries. » protection of commerce ‘between na-’ tions ' thée president of the :United Btates hl. the povui' to protect com- countrige IW w Special Indications accumulated today President Wilson is likely to act at | any time in the situation caused by Germany’s announcement of ruthless submarine warfare. Although the president was kept in bed by a cold, it was said’'he was still considering the subject. Whether the president will act this week or wait until the senate has had an-opportunity to re- vise its rules is a matter of gonjecture. * Mr. Wilson has been advised that he has sufficient power to arm Amer- ican ‘merchant men without waiting for mction by congress and some ufl.- clals believe he will act on' this ad- vice forthwith. On the other hand, & Itfllll sentl- ment undoubtedly exists in the ad- ministration for the president to take | prison on May 25. action along the line of an ex- tra session of congress to meet in the vVery near future, Reports given to the president agree that the senate rules will' be revised quickly, so that if an extrs session of congress ig called it would be pos- sible to get prompt action on an armed’ neutrality resolution. PRESIDENT IN BED; Dr. Grayson Says Executive’s Tem: perature is Above Normal and He Must Have Rest. 'Wul;lnnon, March 8.—President ‘Wilson, who is suffering from a cold | taken a weék ago and made worse during his inauguration Monday, re-# mained in bed today by-.order of his physician. No engagements were made by the president for todey and he will rest as much as possible dur- ing the next few days. Dr. Grayson said at noon that the president’s temperature was'' above normal and that absolute rest for sev- eral days was necessary. The pres- ident spent a quiet night. pects were that Mr. Wilson would have to remain in bed for several days, although his condition was not serious, REGISTERS AT AGE OF 108.

A resolution to place the assembly on record &s app: the course of President Wilson in the present international crisis, and also calling for protection of American citizens, was the-subject of .& very lively débate just as the senate was on the point of adjournment today. The resolution went to the committee on federal relations, The dispute was over the parliamentary situktion and x not over the wording of the resolu- tion which Senator Hemenway, demo~ crat, offered. Senator Quigg was in the chair. The Tesolution also pledged the loyal support of the legislature in whatever ‘course the president might take. Mr. Hemenway wanted the ' resolution adopted, saying the governor had seen it.and had offered no objection to its ‘wording. Senator Klett moved that the reso- paasage. The vote was for reference, the democrats standing by the-senator from the: second district, © who at once moved to reconsider this action. Senator Quigg siipped 'out of the chair and Lieutenant Governor Wil- son_took his place. Clerk Buckley begea to read some- thing and-Senator O’Stllivan.jumped up and declared that he had come to the conclusion that it was time the senate was rTun by its own members and not by the clerk. He sald that action had been arbitrary.and great discourtesy had been shown Senator Hemenway. “I' heartily disapprove of the action of the clerk,” he added. Senator Klett pointed out that Sena- tor Hemenway was not in order as he had not been in the vdte 'to refer. The reply was that the senator was indulging In unfair ways te .block action.
