MANY OBJECTIONS
TO THE IDEA
~ United States Buys German Shlps

Siexe Them.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-TWO more
important objections that France has
to President Wilson's plan to spend
$30,000,0O0 on an American merchant
marine were pointed out at the
French embassy.
One referred to the signing by the
United States Of the declaration OF
London In 1909 for rules OF naval war
fare. The second is that the purchase
Of any ships by the United States
would be an aid to the belligerents
whose ships were purchased. The en-
bassy statement authorized by Ambas-
sador Jusserand said:
I'm response to the Interrogation.
the French embassy pointed out that
the United States, France. Great
Britain. Germany. Austria and the
Netherlands signed the declaration
OF London in 1909 regarding the rules
of naval warfare. This was approved
by the United States senate of April
"a. 1919.
Two paragraphs Of this DECLARE
iton read: the transfer OF any en-
emy's vessels to neutral flag affect
ed after the outbreak of hostilities 10
void, unless it is proven that such :
transfer was not made in an effort
to evade the consequence to which
any enemy's vessel az such Is ex-
posed.
There however. Is an absolute
presumption that transfer Is void
II such transfer has been made during
a voyage"
"But suppose that this declaration
did not exist" 1t was stated. "the fact
remains that no help should be given
to any belligerent by another power;
that the purchase would be helping
one OF the belligerents whose ships
are at present of no use to them. but
on the contrary are causing expense.
which expense would be transformed
into valuable asset. namely some
thing like $3o,O00.000."
That German ships purchased by
the United States to be used as
merchant marine would be subject to
seizure by England and France. 1t
was stated in diplomatic circles this
afternoon. 1t was pointed out that
if for instance the United States pur-
chased the Vaterland, either the Brit
ish or French navy would probably
seize her, although she flew the
American flag and hold her for rul-
ing by prize court as to whether
her purchase was q violation of neu.
trality
Both England and France. 1t was
learned, while having no objections
to an American merchant marine.
would protest against the purchase OF
Austrian or German vessels for com
mercial purposes, by this government
Although it is proposed that the Unit
ed States pay the $30.0O0.O00 after
the war, Great Britain and France
will contend that any agreement be-
tween the United States and foreign
shipping company will be equivalent
to cash. The following statement was
given out at the British embassy:
"The British embassy has received
no new instructions. The British gov.
eminent has no objection whatever
to the acquisition Of mercantile
fleet by America, but it might raise
objections to some parts of some Of
the schemes published in the press

row Wilson will be the candidate of
the democratic party for the presi-
dency in 1885, Vice President Marsh
all declared today. "The democratic
party will have but one candidate for

pens to be Woodrow Wilson, said
Marshall.
He will have the unqualified and

as follows: 1T Is a maxim of the

the midst of European conflict poll
tics in America will be silent. here
and there men will vote because OF

ciate the extremely delicate situation

Geography OF the National Capital is
often closely related to its early his
tory. This creek played an interesting
part in the planning Of the city, and
for time offered n handicap to its
growth, which was overcome.
BY answering this. the twenty-fifth
question of The Times Educational
Competition. pupils also may be en-
couraged to look into the early plans
for the Capital. II already has been
suggested that the city's growth took a
course the early planners did not con-
template. Their hopes for the city are
still suggested by the fact that the
figure of Liberty on the Capitors dome,
and the Capitol itself, faces the east.
East Capitol street was expected to be
the city's main boulevard. thus throw
ing the Capitol in the midst of the
city's business life.
Other changes have come about in the
city's growth, and the recent develop
ment of the far northwest section Is a
comparatively modern phenomenon.
Some contestants who did not see
early questions have asked that the en-
tire list be reprinted. Here they are, TO
