. Outlined Before House Naval and Norfolk. . Washingtop, Feb. 15.—A plan for fleet and coast defense submarine op- ‘erations in the Atlantic and Pacific <calling for 188 submersibles of all types was outlined in the house naval com- mittee today by Rear Admiral Grant, the navy’s chief of submarines. Such a force is necessary to insure adequate protection, the admirals said, and ap- proximately the number of boats need- ed are provided for in the administra- tion's five year building programme. At present the committee was told, the United States has just 27 sub- ‘marines ready for war service. Ten other boats are laid up for repairs or overhauling and could not be made ready for duty in less than six months. Now upder construction or authorized are 35 submarines, including three big erafz of the fleet cruising type. Admiral Grant's plan contemplates thirty divisions of six submersibles each, three divisions to cruise with the Atlantic fleet and two with the Pacific fleet and the remainder to work out of . Shore bases distributed along the coasts. For the Atlantic coast he proposed the establishment of bases at New London, Philadelphia and Nor- folk, while for the Pacific he thought stations at San Diego, San Francisco ang the Columbia river would not be too far apart. The admiral reiterated his belief that mo boats of less than 750 to 800 tons surface displacement should be built in future. The most efficient Ger- man U boats, he said, were of that size. He urged also that no addition- Wl fleet submarines of the 1200 tone type be built until the Schley, the first of these, has been tried out. Representative Roberts of Massa- chusetts carried the admiral through Grant, to Insure Adeq\ute. Protection—Three Atlantic Coast Bases Proposed Are New London, Philadelphia Committee by Rear Admiral a long line of questions to establish his opinicn of the American-built boats, approximately the navy H class, now in the British service.. Admiral Grant said the fact that these boats had been able to cross the Atlantic under their own power did not influence him to change his mind as to the future of the American submarines should be. The task of submerging a longer boat such as the 800 craft was a delicate one, he admitted and more complicated than handling the H boats, but the advantages of the larger craft more than outweighed this in his mind. Represcntative Stevens of Califor- nia_said asked: “Isn’t it true that there are but three submarincs to defend the whole Pacific coast.” “That is true,” Admiral Grant said. “How many do you think that tlere should be in order to fully defenq it? “Forty-eight.’ “Do you think it would be adequately defended if the proposed submarine bases were established as far apart as San Diego and San Francisco and the Columbia river.” S o, “Then why is it necessary in your opinion to have more bases propor- tionately on the Atlantic coast?’ “Because I think our strategic enemy would be met in the Atlantic. There is a very material difference between the two coasts.” Admiral Grant pointed out that with three effective, mobile submarines n the Facific coast and four more at Honolulu, there were more of the available force engaged in that work than in protecting the Atlantic, where he sald, only five of these mobile boats were stationed. CRITICISM OF POLICE METHODS BY T. M. OSBORNE. Outstanding Feature of Lecture “The New Penology.” New Haven, Conn., Feb. 15.—Criti- cism of police methods was the out- standing feature of a lecture on “The New Fenolozy” before Yale students tonight by Thomas _ Mott Osborne, former warden of Sing Sing prison. “The modern reason for the distrust of the police,” he said, “is that it is ofter said held to be a matter of hon- o, i ce arrested, to se- in doubt, arrest the nearest ' appeared to have been a d Mr. Osborne.

GRANT LYMAN FAILED TO MEET WIFE Latter Astounded When She Was In- formed of Collapse of Firm. New York, Feb. 15.—Mrs. Leontine Lyman, wife of Dr. Grant Lyman, alias Putnam, who is being sought by Postoffice inspectors on a charge of stock swindling, which is said to have netted approximately $350,000, arrived here today, with her infant son and aged mother on the steamship St. Paul of the American line. She appeared disappointed because her husband did not meet her at the pier and seemed astounded when in- formed of the sensational collapse last week of his brokerage business after he had vanished. She declined to make any statement regarding Ly - man, saying she understood that un- der the American law a wife cannot be required to give evidence against her husband. The young woman, who is said to have been the wife of a Captain Lock- ett of the British army until her mar- riage to Lyman at Hempstead last year, was recognized aboard the steamer by Postoffice inspector Pollitt, Wwho requested her to accompany him to the office of Assistant United States District fessed Attorney Stanton. She pro- to have no knowledge of her d's business operations s served with a subpoena di- recting hLer to appear tomorrow be- fore the federal grand jury investigat- ing the John H. Putnam and com- pany case. She was permitted to go to a hotel to rejoin her mother, who = ignorant of the cause of the trou- e. Federa! officials admitted that $5,000 in cash turned over by Louis B. hor- net, to the receiver in bankruptcy for Putnam ard Company, was given him by his employer to be handed to Mrs. jLyman on her return from England. here is now no probability of her get- ting any of this money zithough she said she was short of funds. Federal authorities said today they had learned that in addition to run- ning his brokerage concern, Lyman also was conducting a mythical hard- ware and mill supply business under the name of Charles Curtiss & Co. He represented that he had a factory at Youngstown, Ohio, where he manu- factured high grade drills and lathes u,sed by manufacturers of war muni- tions. Groton Man Tells Of Serbian Distress (Continued from Page One) Stuart is now working at Belgrade, where the Austrians, whose treatment of the conquered inhabitants is concil- iatory, have given his party every as- sistance. Scrbian Element in Panic. Ten days before he left Uskup, says Mr. Schellens, the Serbian element was put in a panic by a Bulgarian procla- mation ordering all Serbians who had resided in the country no longer than the past two years to pack up and leave. The period was expiring the day he left. No exceptions were made in this order—old people, children, ba- bies, women expecting' to become mothers, the sick and wounded. This, he says, was the last act of a course of systematic discrimination against the persecution of the Serbians, which in the dead of winter, with the roads in frightful condition, would mean the death of many on their long march through bleak country which had been denuded of its food supplies. Sadly in Need of Relief. “If there ever was a country that needed relief,” said Mr. Schellens, “it is Serbian Macedonia. The American Red Cross was willing to do this work. It has plenty of money and there is a big_supply of corn, wheat and other foodstuffs stored up in Rumania to draw on. But the Bulgarians did not want us, for relief workers see and hear too much. The excuse is that the work would interfere with military operations. This does not hold, how. ever, for they actually wanted the American doctors and sanitary experts to stay on, for King Ferdinand has a perfect monomania on the subject of plagues and epidemics. Such an invi- tlon was extended to Dootors Brokaw and Forrest, contract surgeons with the Serbian’ army, Plotz and Baehr, attached to Lady Paget's mission, and Dr. Osborne and Mr. Fox, all of the American Red Cross.” Tribute to Bulgarian Peasantry. Mr. Schellens pays a high tribute to L ———— HOW TO REGAIN STRENGTH The great factor that retards re- covery after sickness is that weak- ened devitalized condition, and it will interest our readers to know that our local druggist, G.

He found them a kindly, honest people and a fine type physically. They have uni- versally the highest regard for Ameri- ca and Americans, owing to the glow- ing tales received from emigrants, all of whom seem to have done well in’ the states. Officers and Men of Different Types. “There is enough difference between the soldiers and their officers,” con- tinued Mr. Schellens, “to make them seem of a different race. The soldiers are short and stocky, their officers are rather tall, of a different type of fea- tures. In fact, the saldiers are the real Bulgarian stock, while the officers are largely of forelgn intermixture. And the difference in character is just as marked. The soldiers did many kind- nesses to the Serbian unfortunates when their officers were not about. But_ the officers are brutal toward the civil population and, most of all, the Serbs. They are under definite in- structions to make life unbearable to the Serbs, so they will vacate this part of the country, out of which Bul- garia claims it was cheated after the second Balkan war. No discrimina- tion is shown against the remaining Turkish population, however.

Fuel Scarce—Weather Cold. “Fuel was scarce and sold at exorbitant price. The weather w terribly cold. But in addition to these miseries the Serbian homes were de- | nuded of everything that the conquer- | ors wanted, such as household zoods It was their pitiable condition that caused Mr. Stuart to appeal to the Bulgarian Red Cross for permission to carry on relief in this territory.” Caustic Criticism Of Wilson Policy (Continued from Page One) of the traffic and economic conditions, was received in comparative silence. Cheered When He Attacked Wilson's Foreign Policy. When he opened an attack on Pres- ident Wilson’s Mexican policy he was repeatedly interrupted with applause, however. The first prolonged outburst of cheers came when Mr. Root, turn- ing to European affairs, denounced the presodent’s policy as ome of making threats and ing to make them good. No Reference to Roosevelt. In the ] Mr. Root sent out in advance he referred to Theodore Roosevelt as one of the men who had believed it the duty of the American government to protest at the violation of Belgium's neutrality by Germany. This reference was omitted tonight. The temporary chairman himself denounced, how- ever, the failure of the United States government to protest against the in- vasion of Belgium. “If the public opinion of the world,” he said, “was to remain silent on that, neutral upon that, then all talk about peace and justice and international law and the rights of man, the prog- ress of humanity and the spread of Ifberty is idle patter—mere weak sen- o’clock to meet again at 11 o’clock to- morrow morning.
