ptf ' f'7, iiis M'TTKNRY PLAINDEALER, BTHEXRY* ILL. WILSON JELLS PUNS CABINET TOLD OF DEFENt*. SHIP PURCHASE AND 8PECIAL TAX PROPOSALS. CABINET MEMBER MAY QUIT Reported at Washington That Secre­ tary of Commerce Redfield May Re­ sign--$1000,000,000 Additional Reve» nue Needed for U. Next Year. Washington. NOT. 15.-- President Wilson discussed with his cabinet on Friday the legislative program for the coming session of congress and mat­ ters of party policy. It ia understood that unanimous approval was given the presidents suggestions which are to be carried in his annual message. These include: National defense program for army and navy. Ship purchase legislation for up­ building of the merchant marine. Giving United States industries In one line authority to have coopera­ tive selling agencies in foreign coun­ tries. « Conservation legislation to develop natural resources. Amendments to federal reserve act to permit member banks to Join In establishing a foreign bank. Revenue legislation to meet needs of the government. It was the gossip during the 4sy that Mr. Red field might leave the cabinet, and that his successor would be Secretary Houston of the depart­ ment of agriculture. Carl Vrooman of Illinois, now assistant, was slated tor secretary of agriculture. In connection with fiscal legislation planned it is understood the presi­ dent has agreed with his advisers that it will be unwise to use any of the Panama canal bonds remaining unsold to meet the emergency needs of the treasury or to provide funds for the defense program. Experts on treasury matters have pointed out to the president that it will be necessary next year to get 1100,000,000 additional revenues for the ordinary needs of the government. Fiscal experts in congress are work­ ing now on plans for new legislation to raise these funds through special taxes without being forced to reopen the Underwood tariff for a general in­ crease of duties.

VILLA TROOPS ATTACKING AGUA PRIETA GERMANY BLAMED FOR ACT Rome Government In Official State­ ment Declares Sinking of Vessel Is an Act of War by Berlin--Austria Says Vessel Attempted to Escape. Vienna (via Berlin and Sayville). Nov. 16.--The Austro-Hungarian ad­ miralty on Sunday issued the following statement: The foreign press is spreading false reports regarding the sinking of the Ancona. The incident occurred as fol­ lows: *• Our submarine fired one shot before the steamer's prow, whereupon the steamer fled at full speed in compli­ ance with orders from the-Jtalian au­ thorities. which states that ships shall Gee or sink the submarine. The submarine pursued the steamer and continued firing. The steamer stopped only after it had been hit sev­ eral times. The submarine then al­ lowed the passengers and crew 45 min­ utes in which to abandon the steamer, on which panic reigned. However, only the small boats were lowered and these were occupied principally by the crew. A great number of boats--prob­ ably sufficient to have saved all the passengers--remained unoccupied. After fifty minutes the submarine, on the approach of another steamer, submerged and torpedoed the Ancona. which sank after forty-five minutes. If any passengers lost their lives this was the fault of the crew, because the steamer tried to escape when it was ordered to stop, and even then the crew only saved themselves, leaving the passengers. Foreign press reports that the sub­ marine fired on the lifeboats are in­ ventions. When the steamer stopped the submarine ceased firing. Rome, Nov. 16.--The Italian govern­ ment issued the following statement regarding the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona: "The Ancona did not attempt to es­ cape, but stopped within a short dis­ tance after the firing of the first shell. The liner was torpedoed while boats were being lowered and 100 passen­ gers were still on board.

"Belgrade, the capital of the kingdom of Serbia, which has now fallen into the hands of the Germans, has grad­ ually, for many years past, been losing its old, Turkish aspect, becoming more modern, more European.

The walls have disappeared since 1862; the last and flneBt of the five gates was demolished in 1868, and the citadel ia not up to the requirements of modern warfare. The manufactures of Belgrade consist of arms, cut­ lery, saddlery, silk goods, carpets, etc. The chief buildings in the city are the royal and episcopal palaces, the gov­ ernment houses, the cathedral, bar­ racks, bazaars, national theater, and various educational institutions.

London, Nov. 17.--Winston Spencer Churchill, former first lord of the Brit­ ish admiralty, against whom more bit­ ter criticism has been launched than any other man in the English govern­ ment since the war began, made his speech of defense on Monday in the house of commons. Mr. Churchill put full responsibility for the disastrous Antwerp expedi­ tion upon Lord Kitchener, the secre­ tary of state for war, and the French government. The former first lord of the ad­ miralty also denied personal responsi­ bility for the Dardanelles enterprise. "The proposition to send an expedi­ tion to the Dardanelles to open up the way to Constantinople was pro­ foundly, maturely and elaborately con­ sidered," declared Mr. Churchill. It had been charged that Mr. Churchill acted too quickly and too much upon his own initiative in send­ ing the expeditions to Antwerp and the Dardanelles. As to the Antwerp enterprise, Mr. Churchill said: "The idea of sending a relieving army to save Antwerp from capture by the Germans originated with Lord Kitchener and the French govern­ ment. That the expedition arrived too late to save the Belgian city was not my fault." Mr. Churchill declared that he al­ ways consulted the first sea lord of the admiralty before making any offi­ cial move. Following Churchill's sensational speech Sir Arthur Markham made the most violent attack on Earl Kitchener yet heard. Markham told members of the com­ mons he was convinced Kitchener was responsible for both the Antwerp and Dardanelles "blunders," and that he also was guilty of withholding in­ formation. "I am convinced," added Sir Arthur, "that while Kitchener, who accepts no advice, remains at the war office we will not win this war." "I think I ought not to leave the CCuuiry wlLuCut. reiculug, to Ceitam Incidents at the admiralty in the di­ rection of the war which occurred during my., period at the admiralty," said Mr. Churchill. He declared that the Dardanelles enterprise was framed merely by ex­ perienced technical minds. The at­ tack-was decided on at a war council held on January 28, at which Lord Fisher was present. "It was a legitimate war gamble for a* prize of inestimable value, which had a reasonable chance of winning on that basis." Mr. Churchill declared there was no reason to be discouraged with the progress of the war. "We are passing through a bad time," he said, "but it will probably be worse before It is better."
