U. 8. TO ERECT STRONG DEFENSE OUTSIDE CANAL
WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. The United States is preparing to take steps that will . safeguard its rights in the ; event that any "foreign power" secures concessions that might threaten the Panama canal. And if the negotiations that have been initiated for a fvjiew treaty with Panama are consummated, the strongest defenses in the "world can be erected on the ocean ..aides of the big waterway, t; The proposal to negotiate a new J treaty with the isthmian republic follows the expose of the $18,000,000 land (scandal recently explained to the house 'interstate commerce committee by MaJor General George W. Goethals, govi ernor of the canal zone. At the ret oucst of " the administration, legisla
tion proposing to put an end to the 'mulcting of the United States by land claimants at Panama has been held ;up in the house pending negotiations Jfor a new treaty. I'. In addition to covering the avquisiItion of. land in the present ten-mile canal strip,, the new treaty probably I will include plans for turning over this government lands outside of the j present zone. These lands, military ! authorities contend, are absolutely necJessary to protect the .canal from ag-
'which might secure control of one of ithe islands in the Caribbean sea. and such such an island base .would be ;a menace to the canal. Extensive dejfensive fortifications outside of the j present zone ure absolutely inrepera-;tjve.

CABINET PLANS ANSWERS FOR GERMAN MOVE
DEALERS SELL MANY WHEELS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. That a definite decision for action was reached by the cabinet was suggested in official circles, but under orders from the president the members declined to talk when the session broke up. Three propositions were passable, it was pointed out. First, that the state department would indicate to the German einbassv
visiting) that in view of the latest developments
in ttoe situation, the United States would, if the appendices enroute here seemed to raise a serious question as to the British methods of controlling merchantmen, desire to discuss just what constitutes armament for defense. Second, that the United States considers that the announcement of a new submarine warfare by Teutonic subma
rines violates the implied pledges In the cases of the Lusitania, the Arabic and the Ancona. Third, that the assurances in the above cases are acceptable to the United States, but that they cover pledges of the past and that they must be backed up by the performances of the future. Meanwhile the house and senate leaders were sitting on theMid, determined to prevent congress making any move at this time that will seriously embarrass the United States.

LONDON, Feb. 29. England awaits
with confidence the blows of Germany's submarine raiders. It is the same confidence that prevailed when the U-boats of the kaiser began their operations a year ago operations which are declared to have been a complete failure as to their aim, which was to destroy British commerce and cut England off from food supplies. Great Britain knows that the admiralty has prepared to meet the Teuton policy which calls for the destruction without warning of ships armed tor defense purposes. These preparations are complete.
