Present law I'm Way.
The Kustermann bill states that as
a result of the waning of the American
ship industry, the United States has
now reached a point where American
battle ships have to depend on ships
flying foreign flags to deliver the coal
they consume; that under the present
laws relating to commerce and naviga-
tion any increase in the number Of
vessels flying the American flag is
made impossible unless said vessels
are built in the United States: that So
called ship subsidies in all forms are
iniquitOus measures. born and reared
in darkness, and more, will never be
sanctioned by the American people;
that a practical and simple provision in
the navigation laws of England AMI
Germany has enabled those countries
to lead the world in maritime COM
merce; that so years ago Great Brit
aims navigation laws were as restrict
ed as those of the United States today
that the English laws were then re-
pealed and permission given her citi-
zens to buy ships anywhere and have
them registered under the British flag"
and that from that time dates the
restoration of the British flag to the
command of the seas.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 12.-Repre-

put the American merchant marine On
it's feet without paying money out of
the t. 'qsury to the shipping trust,
which Is the method that was recon-
mended by President Taft in his a,
nual message.
Kustermann has introduced 1D1ll
providing that foreign-bui1t ships,
when owned and off1cered by Ameri-
cans, or by corporations in which
Americans hold not less than co per
cent of the stock, may fly the Ameri-
can flag.
VIII Bring 500 at Once.
THE plan of the men who dominate
congress to use the public's money for
the substituting of steamships is just
a plain. ordinary steal,'' said Mr. Kus-
termann. ''If Americans are permitted
to buy ships where they can get them
the cheapest, and are then permitted
to fly the American nag, the problem
of rehabilitating the American mer-
chant marine will have been solved
having cost anyone single
penny.

although owned and manned by Amer

be long stride toward the final COM
pletion of the commercial water route
from Chicago to New Orleans.
Supported on Two Grounds.
The action, which was filed by Dis
trict Attorney Edwin w. Sims at the
direction of the attorney general, is
based on two ainaeontentions:
First, that title to the bed of the
Desplaines river is vested in the fed
eral government.
Second, that under the correct rule
of navigability the Desplaines river
is navigable and the construction of
the dam in question could only be
accomplished with the permission of
the secretary of war and chief of en-
gineers of the federal government.
