HUMES COMPLETES ANSWER IN CASE AGAINST BREWERS Having completed his answer to the petition to quash the proceedings in-I itiated in the United States grand jury against three brewery associations the United States, the Pennsylvania Brewers' and the Brewers' Associatio.i of Western Pennsylvania. United States Attorney E. Lowry Humes is awaiting developments in court next Monday. It was reported at the Kederal building this forenoon that the answer will be somewhat of a sensation, as well as not a little of a surprise. It is likely that the attorneys for the associations will lie furnished with a ropy of the answer either tomorrow afternoon or early Monday morning.

It was the contention of Attorney George E. Shaw, representing the as-i sociations. in his argument before Judges Thomson and Orr, last Tuesday, that the office of the United States prosecutor was in ignorance of what was termed "the actual conditions" of the respective associations and that the grand jury was being initiated and con- ducted with a view of obtaining some- thing definite on which indictments! might be based.

11. New issues, as grave, as those revolving about the sinking of the Lusitania, may arise between the United States and the central powers, officials here declared today, as the result of the German announcement that all enemy armed' merchantmen will be treated as warships and torpedoed without warning aftet Feb. 29. Austria, according to an Amsterdam dispatch today, has handed to the American ambassador at Vienna, a note almost identical in text with the German communication. It was stated on reliable authority today that England' and her allies under no circumstances will yield the right to arm merehantment for defensive purposes, a practice recognized by all nations.

It la not believed here that the United States, having already recognized this right, will change her policy in the middle of a great war; Should a German or Austrian submarine, acting under the new Instruction torpedo warning and sink a British or French liner, carrying American passengers the United States, it is believed here, will take prompt and decisive' The. text German memorandum reached London too, late for lengthy comment' in the morning papers. The newspapers, with headings such as "New Plea For Piracy." declared that the Germans -after seeming to yield to tne united states in the Lusitania case, have' embarked 'on new campaign of rightfulness with utter disregard for International law and humanity. They expressed the belief that the submarine dispute between Germany and the United States, far from being settled. Is re-opened by announcement of the new German policy.

"The German memorandum, said the Times, "is a complaint against the perfectly legitimate and long practiced right of our merchantmen to carry guns for defense. Germany has thus raised again the whole question of submarine warfare as affecting neutrals." UNITED STATES WILL NOT PROTEST TEUTON POLICY By- United Press. Washington, Feb. 11. The United States, it was stated on highest official authority today, cannot protest the announced sea policy of the Teutonic powers to sink armed merchantmen without warning.

That this government, believing the Teutonlc nations to be within their rights in respect, shortly will is sue a warning to all its nationals not to travel on belligerent ships that carry guns of kind, seemed certain. This position must be taken, many officials declared today. If America's attitude is to continue to be logically followed out The American attitude regarding arming, of. merehantment. It became known for the first time today, was clearly set forth in the informal sug- gestion it recently made to the entente allies concerning the "absence of -con- ditions now, which in earlier times was the excuse for arming of merchant men." These reasons were presence of privateers and pirates on the high seas.

None of the powers addressed. Secretary Lansing said today, has replied to these suggestions. He said he assumed their delay was caused by the obvious necessity of Joint deliberation of the question. The English, however, unofficially have expressed themselves unalterably opposed to any suggestion that would put their merchantmen at the mercy of the submarines. In informal statements, high officials at the British embassy have indicated their belief that England and her allies would never consent to this.

Despite this known opposition it was admitted at the state department today I one or the effects or the Teuton decree will be the announcement that this government will abandon its recent temporary rulings regarding armed merchantmen, even in the event it is known a few German commerce raiders are at large on the high seas. BRECKENRIDGE GIVES VIEWS ON PLANS NOW BEFORE CONGRESSMEN By I nited Press. Washington. Feb. 11.

Tn a statement prepared for the United Press Henry S. Breckenridge, who resigned as assisttant secretary of war, today outlined his views on army plans now before congress, which led to his resignation as well as that of Secretary Garrison, whose policy Breckenridge supported. The statement follows: "It is inadvisable to build a military policy for the nation upon the state militia because to rest the defense of the nation upon 48 little armies over which the national government has not and cannot obtain control, is to tamper with the country's safety." "False claims are- made that the militia can oe maue a ieuerai rorce. The constitution elves the state full author. ity over the militia.

The state authori ties can. witnout reierence to the wants or needs of the nation, disband the militia or keep 100. l.oon or ino.000 militiamen as they desire. "It Is impossible for the federal government, by passing a. militia pay bill, to bribe away from the state a jurisdiction given by the constitution.

Feb. 11. The first definite move to end the world war was made here today when the "permanent committee to establish lasting peace met to formulate proposals for an armistice. Peace advocates from several neutral countries were in Berne for the meeting. The committee hopes to obtain the consent of the belligerents to an armistice of at least two weeks before the spring campaigns bring fresh slaughter in Kurope.

They believe if the iiuns can be silenced for two weeks the tighting will never be renewed. Several peace leaders said they were encouraged by the German chancellor's recent reichstag speech to believe that Germany will give benevolent consideration "to any for an armistice, if tnev fail in their plans for a truce they hope at least to suggest a program to the belligerents designed to eliminate some of the mere horrible features of the rf.r. One suggestion is that the belligerents pledge themselves to conduct no more air raids upon cities behind the battle fronts. Prince VonBulow, former German chancellor; Prince Hohenlohe and Baron VonKraft have arrived at Lu cerne. It was reported they are in touch with the peace movement here.

Those close to the President declare none of the men most prominently mentioned so far would get the vacant portfolio.

General Scott, however, will not attend the regular Friday cabinet meeting today, It was said at his office. It would be "unusual" for him to do so, was the explenation- given. Today speculation as to Garrison's successor was buried beneath consideration of the differences between the retiring war secretary and the President regarding measures of national defense.

Th.it Garrison regarded their differ- ences to be of principle, not merely of method, it is agreed, is shown by his action in auitting, and that of his as sistant, Henry S. Breckenridge, in doing the same.

Washington, Feb. lL Inquiry among members of the Pennsylvania Republican delegation in the house develops that there Is a strong current of sentiment in favor of Justice Hughes for the Republican nomination, for the presidency.

The belief seems to prevail that his name should go upon the primary ballot in Pennsylvania. Very little, if any significance, is attached to, the justice's recent letter making pronouncement anent the question of his candidacy for the reason that it Is pointed out that no intimation is contained- in It that might be construed as a positive declaration that he would not accept the nomination. Pennsylvania members from districts not included in the two big cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg are especially favorable to Justice Hughes and indeed several of the city members have given expression to ideas regarding the nomination that indicate a decided tendency that way. SENTIMENT WIDESPREAD. This question, like the state political situation, is one that-they nearly all fight shy of when there is the least suspicion that their views, are sought for publication.

The sentiment for Justice Hughes is not confined, to Pennsylvania by any mans but is noticeable among the Republican members from' practically all sections and it has been gathering such force day by day that in some quarters it is openly boasted and wagers are even being offered that he will be the convention nominee. A recent poll of the Progressives In the house resulted in a unanimous expression in favor of the justice, although in a few instances it was prefaced by the qualification: "If the colonel keeps out of it." The Progressives, as did many Republicans, gave it as their belief, that Justice Hughes would be the one man who could again weld together the factions created in 1912. Representative John I. Nolan, of California, recognized as the leader of. the remains of the Progressive party in the house, and also of the so-called labor group, is an open advocate of the Hughes candidacy and this fact gives force to the contention that not only would he be highly acceptable to the I'rogressives, but likewise to the laboring vote throughout the country.

RETURN TO PARTY. Representative John A. Elston. another California Progressive, said today that his state is rapidly falling into line with the Republican party and in support of this he points to the registration figures now comine- in which show a considerable return to tne nrst love, tie says this is caused by the prevalence of a general belief that Hughes is to be the candidate and the parties will again get together.

WILLIAM LE JOHN, CONGRESS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED ANY BY RESIGNATION, IS SAID By Vnited Prewi, Washington," Feb. 11 "i-'ecretary of War Garrison's resignation will, have no effect On congress." This was the curt declaration today of Representa tives James Hay of Virginia, chairman of the house military affairs committee, the storm center of the controversy which caused Garrison's-summary withdrawal from the Wilson cabinet.

Hay woild not discuss personal questions and disputes affecting himself and He would not comment on reports of old feuds and differences in army policy. he declared the house military committee win go anead witn its own program of army reorganization. Congress is the legislative branch of the government" said "It gives due consideration to any suggestions or proposals from the executive branch but by the constitution, to congress is reserved right to finally decide legislative questions." WheiMlay was asked to comment on Garrison's statement in his letters to President Wilson that the fedaralizatlon of the militia and discard of the con tinental scheme was a sham, a mock for national defense, Hay re torted "Gen. Wood, former chief of staff, said the Continental army was "a sham We will conclude our hearings on the army and militia reorganization bill today" said Hay. "We hope to have the bill out within 10 days or two weeks.

Secretary Garrison resignation will not effect the Judgment of the committee." Hay said he had no intimation that trie dispute over the continental army had reached such a serious stage that It should cause another break in the President's cabinet. That he and Garrison had not disagreed over the question of long or short term enlistments in the army was stated by Hay. "The secretary did not advocate shortening the enlistment term, as Gen. Wood and many other officers have said," said Hay, who favors a long term enlistment. Garrison's resignation will not prove a blow to the general cause of national defense.

Hay Said. "Some say preparedness is one thing and some another." said Hay. "I think the committee will' bring out a bill which is generally satisfactory to the administration and to congress with real progress for preparedness."
