President Taft expressed his earnest
sympathy with the object of the con-
gress in aiding the cause of world
peace and said:
THAT progress has been made in the
matter of peace everywhere By inter
national action and by the pressure Of
the peoples of the earth, any one who
has examined the recor>. must admit.
at is true that armaments go on in
creasing In cost, but it is also true
that the burdens presented by this
competition In armament are growing
heavier and heavier, and the problems
for solution consistent with their in
crease become more and more difficult.
Will Strive to Avert War.
"The possibilities of war now arising
come chiefly from Responsibilities Of
government and in those countries
where stability of internal control is
lacking The United States has CON
tributed much to the cause of peace
by assisting countries weak in respect
to their internal government so as TO
strengthen in them the cause of law
and order
This relation of guardian and ward
between nations and countries, in my
judgment, helps along the cause of in
ternational peace and indicates prog
ress in civilization.
'The policy of the United States in
avoiding war under all circumstances,
except those plainly inconsistent with
honor or its highest welfare, has been
made so clear to the world as hardly
to need statement at my hands. / can
only say that so far as my legitimate
influence extends while at the head of
this government, 1t will always be
exerted in the full in favor of peace,
not only as between this country and
other countries, but as between our
sister nations"

Supervising Inspector Gen.
eraI UhIer Reverses Order
About MARY F. ScuIIy."
NEED NOT CARRY EXTRA
MATE AND ENGINEER
Result of Case Means Saw
ing of Much Money to
Towing Interests.

As Supervising Inspector General
UhleT of the Steamboat Inspection
Service has just reversed the decision
of the U. S. Local and Supervising In
spectors of New York, that the big
ocean going tug, Mary f. Scully, owned
by the Scully Towing and Transporta-
tion Company Of South Amboy, must
carry two mates and three engineers,
that company, local tugboat owners and
towing interests throughout the United
States will be saved an expenditure Of
many thousands of dollars yearly.
Some time ago the local inspectors
required the Scully tug to carry an ad-
ditional mate and engineer, claiming
1T to be necessary to the safety of the
boat, when heretofore one mate and
two engineers had been all that were
required. This was brought about large
ly through the agitation of represen-
tative of the Mates and Pilots Organ
lzation and the Engineers Association.
The Scully company appealed to Super,
vising Inspector Harris, but he sus-
tanned the decision of the local inspec-
tors An appeal was then made to In
spector General Uhler, who has re-
versed the previous decisions
Views Of Inspector General.
In his decision Mr.. Uhler said that it
did not seem that the phenominal in
crease in size and power of ocean tugs
would demand an increase in both the
engine and deck departments. " Enough
has been shown to justify my opinion, -
he stated, that these vessels can be
safely navigated with one assistant en-
glneer and one mate. = He saws that
the work now is practically the same
as it has been for years and that, while
the local inspectors have had the au-
thority for years to make the change
they only find now that an increase is
necessary.
60 The regulation Of the watches is
unchanged and it has not been shown
that the navigation of these vessels
has been unsafe under the practice that
has prevailed, OF that the vessels under
their care have not been properly pro
tected -
twenty-five years ago Mr.. Uhler was
chief engineer of the tugboat America
the largest of its class towing coal
barges from the Chesapeake over the
shoals to New England ports. He had
but one engineer and did not find his
duties harship. The company he was
employed by received SO a ton freight
for coal over the shoals, while now thew
are obliged to perform the same service
for fifty cents per ton.
The foregoing decision means that
the towboat interests in general have
been saved large annual expense in
the employment of officers that were
of no use.
