GALVESTON, Texas, June
WASHINGTON, June 25.--The na-
val construction program which will
be submitted to the next Congress,
will call for the construction of a sub-
marine fleet equal to that of Ger-
many, in the opinion of high officials
of the Navy Department.
Coincident with the appointment by
Secretary Daniels of a new "advisory
council”, which is to aid him in work-
ing out the problems confronting the
navy. It was learned today that the
consensus of opinion among the of-
ficers chosen for the task is that the
United States should have at least
fifty-two submarines, the number
which Germany is generally estimated
to have in commission .
Basing their opinion on the expert
judgment of the needs of the country,
most of th* officers believe that sev-
enty-five or one hundred submarines
would not be too many.
Naval experts are agreed that for
defensive purposes the submarine ie
supreme. Invasion of these shores
would be impossible, in their opinion,
if the United States had a sufficient
number of submarines to cover its
extremely long coast nne.
On the other hand* they hold that
the larger war vessels are necessary
for offensive work, or to carry the
war Into other quarters.
The experts of the department have
been watching with the greatest at-
tention the developments in naval
warfare brought out in the present
war. Their information on the sit-
uation is more complete than is gen-
erally believed. Many spcial reports
have been received from observers
abroad and a number of officers have
returned to tell their stories at first
hand.
None ot this information is allowed
to get out of the depertment it can
be said, however, that the expert* of
the depaitment in poesession of this
mu. of information do not believe
that the submafines of Germany,
Englana or any other nation in the
world are superior to those of the
United States, except possdbly in their
every respect, so as to leave no shadow
of excuse for prize court proceedinps
against vessels from neutral ports to
the United States, or vice versa.
This proposition will be a complete
counter to the intention of Great Brit-
ain. as stated by Lord Crews, here-
after to send vessels immediately to
prize courts and abandon diplomacy
as a means of settlement.
At ths same time a protest is to
be made against the operation of
British orders in council and the al-
leged blockade which prevents, ille-
ally, the exportation of about so-
000,000 worth of foods, practically
owned now by American importers, in
Germany.
The protest of Importers will de-
tall. of course, past and present im-
pairments of ths business of ths im-
porter*. It is Stated that at Rot-
terdam there are millions of dollars
worth of foods to which no taint or
suspiclon of fraud could be attached,
and substantially owned by the Tinited
States, which can not come out be-
cause. to all intents and purpose*
Great Britain regards Rotterdam and
other neutral port* as blockaded
, Because of Exesuing scheme.
The action of the importers. It is
explained today at th* State Depart-
' ment, has become imperative because
Us existing scheme of geuing speciai
permits from Great Britain bids fair
to be revoked altogether by the Brit-
ish admiralty.

has divided his squadron so that some
of the ships shall be at Tobari Bay

Admiral Howard informed. Ue de-

NEW YORK, June «.—Harry
Thaw scored a telling point in his
tight for liberty late Uis afternoon
when Justice Hendrick admitted evi-
dence showing Thaw's fear of kidnap-
ing was mot a delusion resulting from
his mental condition, but a real fear
based on threats of William Travers
Jerome to bring him back to New
York by force.
“Mr. Jerome told me and I told'
Mr. Thaw," said Merrill Shurtlett, one
of Thaw's New Hampshire counsel
"that if I applied for ball for him he
would take him back to New York
by main force if necessary."
Cook and Becker, battling for Ue
State, sought to havs Ue evidence
stricken out John B. Stanchfield.
Coming into Ue fray, drove th* evi-
dence home.
"Sitting in UI* court room since the
beginning of the trial.'’ he laid 1m-
pr*ssiv*iy. “Is Dr. Charls* MacDonald,
among other experts for the State,
who is making note of every act of
Mr. Thaw and particularly recording
•very reference made by these wit-
nesses from New Hampshire to Mr.
Thaw's fear of kidnaping. When Ue
Ums comes, since I know Dr. Mac-
Donald well he will take Us witness
stand and in support of his conten-
Hon that Mr. Thaw is insane, will cite
this fear of kidnaping as one of
Thaw, delusions. We have a right,
therefore, to have Uis evidence put
before the jury as tending to show
Uat Us fesr of kidnaping was real."
Justice Headrick permitted Shurt-
tetrs testimony to remain in the rec-
ord. Its great Importance to Thaw
lies in the fact that Ui, fear of kid-
napang is th* only hint of delusions
on his part that has so far cropped
out at the trial

It was another day of triumph for
Thaw, a dozen more wltaoeaes men
and women of standing In New Eng-

rationality after observing him dur-
