While Mr. Daniels was discussing
the new order with newspaper repre
sentatives President Wilson .walked
into the secretary's oiBce unan
nounced. He took a Mat to await the
conclusion of the newspaper confer
ence and waa an interested spectator
for several minute befoco anyone
knew he was in the room.
Titers waa continued discussion to
day of the motive ef the War depart
ment in transferring Major General
Wood the new Southeaster de
partment iron hi present post in
command of the Eastern department.
Secretary Baker again rcftued to dis
cuss the matter and no explanation
wa forthcoming from any other
sower (hat fcred the action as more
tlran a question, ef administrative
rowiine.
Mr, Baker toot: occasion during the
day to confirm the impression that the
government ia planning to deal lib
erally with German or other foreign
ssbjects resident ia the United States
in the event of war. He wae asked
specifically if the war department was
negotiating with the interior depart
ment for sites for internment camps.
No Internment Camp.
"There is no inch plan in contem
plation," he replied. "Aft resident
aliens who are obedient to our laws
will be perfectly safe from interfer
ence" Asked If that applied to German
. irmv recerviit. the secretary said:
"It applies to everybody who is here
or who may be permitted to come
here and who behave in accordance
with our laws while here."
In other Quarters it was indicated
that German residents might be reg
istered in the event of war tn order
that the government could have some
knowledge of their movements and
make certain that no person guilty of
nusconnucc snail eacape juaucc.
Another phase of national pre
parednes prompted Mr. Baker to
volunteer a sign to the course
which men and women who are seek'
in an otmortnnitv to serve their
country might follow. ' Every day has
brought several score letters to his
desk asking how personal service
might be rendered.
Opportunities Offered.
.Mr. Baker pointed out that the re it
ular army, National Guard and offi
cers reserve corps ottered opportuni
ties to men who desired military serv
ice. The reserve, he explained, of
fered a wide field of choice, since the
HtafT corps divisions were composed
of men specially trained in civil life
in the work they would perform in
war times.
In addition to (his, the secretary
added, the mobilisation of national re
sources being conducted by the Conn
cil of National Defense furnished
every man engaged in business or
trade with a way to place his services
at the nation's disposal. The plan be
ing worked out, be added, was the co
ordination of every industry so that
the government, through a small com
mittee of organization, could put its
hand upon any part of the wide
spread activities. He urged that men
get into touch with their associate In

National Womnn Suffrage association
and the National Association of
Women's clubs, he said, were all en

been offered, has arranged that, each

KAISER BREAKS PACT

German Told that Treaty Was
Probably Abrogated by Its
Own Lawless Acts.
A JUO HANDLE BARGAIN
Washington, March 26. Germany's
clear violations" of the treaties of
1799 and 1828 and its "disregard of the
csnons of international courtesy"
were assigned by the United States as
reasons for refusal to reaffirm or ex
tend these agreements. ' The note of
refusal to Germany, transmitted
through Dr. Paul Ritter, the Swiss
minister, was made pub.ic today by
the State department and discloses
that this government "is seriously con
sidering whether Germany's conduct
has not in effect abrogated these trea
ties." .
The note say "in view of the dear
violations by the German authorities
of th plain terma of the treatie in
question, solemnly concluded on the
mutual understanding that the obliga
tions thereunder would b faithfully
keDt: in view further of the disregard
of the tanons of international courtesy
and the comity of nations tn the treat
ment of innocent American citirens
m Germany, the government of the
United States cannot perceive any ad
vantage which would flow from fur
ther engagements, even though they
were merely declaratory ef interna
tional law, entered into with the im
perial German government, in regard
to the meaninsr of any of the articles
of these treaties or as supplementary
to them, tn these circumstances
therefore the government of the
United States declines to enter into
the special protocol proposed by the
imperial government
11ns government is seriously con
sidering, continues the note,
"whether or not the treaty of 1828
and the revised articles of the treaties
of 1785 and 1799 have not been in ef
fect abrogated by the German govern
ment's flagrant violations of their
provisions, for it would be manifestly
anjust and inequitable to require one
party to an agreement to observe its
stipulations and to permit the other
party to disregard them. It would ap
pear that the mutuality of the under
taking has been destroyed by the con
duct of the German authorities."
The German note also made public
was regarded by officials as practically
proposing a new treaty. Nationals
of either country resident in the
other would, in case of war. have
teen free from internment; most would
have been entitled to remain indef
initely and those seeking to leave
would have been free to do so with
alt their property. Enemy property,
specifically including merchant ves
sels, would have been free from all
sequestration except under laws ap
plying to neutrals also, while con
tracts and patent would not have
been canceled, suspended or declared
void.
' Statu of Germans Here.
The status of Germane in this
country is not held to be affected
by the refusal to reaffirm the old
treaties and there will be not general
internment or persecutions. The
most serious project now in mind is
adoption of the mild Canadian sys
tem by which Germans must register
and remain within certain limit unless
especially permitted to leave. Under
this plan only 6,000 out of 80,000 Ger
mans in Canada nave been interned.
The activities of plotter already
discovered and the certainty that
more are to follow haa not shaken
the official belief that the majority
of German will remain loyal.
Whether the treaties mav be con
sidered abrogated through Germany'
action will ueoend noon the .btate de
oartment a view aa to wiietner senate
approval Is essential. There is doubt
whether the department alone can
rcacn sucn a accision.
