NAVY. | The Joint Naval Councli was held in secret, Representatives of the British jand French Admiralties have nin Washington for two days, but Secre- tary Daniels withheld permission for the publication of their arrival and the purpose of their visit. The officials who participated in the council were the Secretary of the Navy, Assistant Secrotary loosevelt, Admiral Benson, the Chief of Naval ‘ations, representing this country; Vice’ Admiral Browning, Capt. E. G. Cheeseman, Capt. A. Lowndes, Lieut Commander A. R. J, Southiey and Capt. Guy Gaunt, representing tne British navy, and Rear Admiral Gras- leet and Commander ae Mianpre, repre- senting the French Admiralty. It ta understood that no hard-and- fast plan was agreed upon as to the |nature of joint naval operations be- tween tho United States and the other Governments, It is belleved that the conference was devoted mainly to division of the work of protecting British and Awerican territory in the Western Atlantic, including the Pana- ma Canal and the West Indies; the seeking out and destroying of German commerce raiders which have boen operating in the sea lanes between Europe and the Western Hemisphere, and the part that the naval forces of this country are to play In the exter tion of submarines operating | arred zone” established by Ger- many in British and French waters, hy ot the greatest service that the American navy can render at present is to relieve French and British warships of the duty of patrolling the waters of the Western Atlantic and in destroying enemy commerce raiders. The full details of naval co-oper- ation will probably not be decided on until the arrival of the commissions from Great Britain and France, head- od respectively by Arthur J, Balfour, Lritish Foreign Minister, and Rene Viviant, Minister of Justice and form- er Premier of France, who are ex- pected to reach Washington within the next ten days. The Government has provided accommodations for forty persons, who make up the per- sonnel of the two commissions, The possibility of a proclamation of martial law thropghout the coun. try {8 indicated the difficulties experienced by the Department of Justice in ferreting out persons sua- pected of being concerned in the at- tempted destruction of the Hddy- stone munition plant, and of others suspectod of other plots. At the present time the Govern- ment is proceeding under the procia- mation issued by the President on April 6 affecting the treatment of allen enemies.
