10 increase the compensation paid to min
listers and ambassadors to relieve the

which ii is now confronted and which
previous administrations have met.
Chances for legislation solving the lc-
CATION and embassy problem are now re-
gardcd as good. the Presidents cmbar-
rassmcnt in finding suitable men having

in the foreign service In this respect. 4
majority OF the Republicans, with whom

support bill to accomplish this pur-
pose. so that there is little doubt OF its
passage.

GARRISON WARNS CITY
1T MUST BUILD PIERS
Secretary Of War Stands on His Predecessor S
Policy for Permanent Harbor Facilities
at New York.

White Star pier. THAI permit expires on
June So 1919. Tho attitude Of this depart
ment has been that If the City Of New
York and the steamship company should
show good faith by the actual adoption
of plans for the building of the requisite
piers above or below that portion of tho
river where the engineers said that those
longer piers must not be built then the
war Department or the Secretary Of war
would extend the temporary privilege Tor
further period of time: otherwise IL
would not he extended.
Il have done nothing. and shall not do
ANYTHING until the municipality or the
steamship company applies to me, and I
merely write to say To you that II the
matter Is one in which you or the steam
ship company are at all Interested. YOU
should busy yourselves to d, those things
which YOU have been warned are neces-
sary if YOU expect favorable action by
this department.
1.-THE YOU Is intended to cover the mu-
nicpality and the steamship company, re-
spectively and collectively"
Secretary Garrison declared that he in
tended to stand pat on the policy Of his
predecessor. and that the permit To the
White Star Line would not be extended
unless Mayor Gaynor's promise to Mr..
Stinson was fulfilled.
The Board OF Estimate has already
adopted a report Of its terminal commit
tee declaring il the sense OF that body
that tho city should build several l.2p-
foot piers above A2d street. The Sinking
Fund Commission passed a resolution last
week for the construction OF one of these
piers at 18th street at cost OF about
100000. after the Board Of Estimate had
set aside sl5Oo.co0 for various dock Inn
provcmcnts.

and reported that they found IL untrue.
None but watchmen and repair machIn-
lists worked I'm the mills, they said and

ammunition. and in doorways AMI back
yards near the mill iron bars. bolts clubs
and other weapons were found in conceal

these foreigners. because they listen
| eagerly to all wild rumors, and will not
believe what the police or leaders tell
them" said Chief Bell
About seventeen hundred men are on
