Yard Commandants Are Tiered to Speed Up Repair and Overhaul Work.

0VE IS DEFENSE TEST r.VASHIXGTOX, April 21. Orders to heed up repair and overhaul work on t-ssels of the Atlantic fleet have been avy yards by Secretary Daniels. In lase of labor shortage, the commandants tre instructed to expedite the work by (employing the ships' personnel. The move was explained as a "preparedness test." the execution of which would illustrate how quickly the vessels could be restored to normal condition after their strenuous winter operations and placed in readiness for the battle practices and maneuvers beginning May 20. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has been in conference with officials of the New-York yard, attempting to arrange for the employment of a sufficient force of mechanics and other skilled men to operate that plant on a night and day schedule.

Secretary Daniels said the officials were experiencing great difficulty in securing laborers at Government wages, and also by delay in delivery of materials ordered for repair work and construction of vessels now being built. Offers of better pay and advantages of extra work at double time, he said, were attracting the workmen to private employ and creating the scarcity of labor in the yards. NAVY YARDS ABUSTLE. BOSTON.

JAPAN FILES THIRD NOTE PROTESTING EXCLUSION (Continued From Page1- One.) disinclination to irritate the situation between Japan and the United States, which has been smouldering since the California anti-alien land law negotiations went into an indefinite stage three years ago this spring. Administration officials are not unmindful of anti-Asiatic sentiment in Congress, particularly among members from the Pacific coast states, and their constant endeavor has been to illay it. The United States never has replied to Japan'3 last note on the California land law.

The last that was said on the subject was said by former Secretary Bryan to Ambassador Chinda. when the negotiations got into the stage of apparent deadlock and the ambassador, on taking his departure from a conference at Secretary Bryan's office, inquired if he were to transmit the last word of the United States to his. government.

Reports received daily from Switzerland about Austria indicate that something is brewing regarding the Hapsburg monarchy, one significant symptom being the unanimous outburst of invocations for peace in the Hungarian press.

Premier Asquith has become in the minds of the Hungarian wrKers the sa- vior of the situation. They commend hi speech with more enthusiasm than that of Chancellor von Be thmann-Hollweg. The conditions which have led to this situation seem to be connected with Baron von Burian's visit to Berlin, with the growing antagonism to German aggressiveness, with the question of natipn- a'lities to be decided at -the conclusion or the war, and with the increasing distress and the calling out of the lst recruits. It is announced that the uernwn suggestion is that the whole of the Hapsburg monarchy be divided into small autonomous states to be ultimately swallowed up by Germany. Bohemia is to be autonomous and divided into six provinces, but no Czech deputies are ever again to appear in parliament.

Galicia is also to receive autonomy, its 12,000.000 inhabitants to be governed by a lieutenant governor appointed from Vienna, but the object of this autonomy to be to exclude from the Austrian parliament the hitherto powerful group of Galician deputies. loyally acquired weapon, had been knocked out of his hand by a champion of the rights?

The Berlin people are not mad. but it is doubtful if public opinion '-n Germany will allow them to let up in their submarine campaign." "President Wilson has hoisted the Stais and Stripes higher then they have ever been." says the "Figaro." "The l.aise.r stands with his back to a wall." "Germany can scarcely yield." says "Echo de Paris.
