NEW SHIPPING LAW IN EFFECT
ADMITS FOREIGN SHIPS TO
REGISTRY.
President Authorized to Use Dis.
creticn to Suspend Other Pre-
sent Provisions.

Washington, Aug. 10. = Congress
passed the emergency shipping bill
which will authorize the president to
admit foreign built ships to American
registry so that commercial fleets may
sail the seas under protection of the
American flag while belligerents of
Europe are at war and securing the
oceans for prizes. President Wilson
later signed the bill.
elimination of the effort to enact
this legislation followed reputation
by the senate of the conference report
on the measure, which previously had
been radically amended in the senate.
AS it goes to the president the bill
was the same as it passed the house
more than week ago.
The conference report met defeat in
the senate by vote of 40 to 20 be-.
cause of determined opposition to the
provision which would have admitted
to the American coastwise trade all
foreign built vessels taking American
register within two years.
Twenty Democrats and twenty Re
publicans voted to reject the report
which was submitted and championeG
by Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
inter-oceanic canals committee. Seven
teen Democrats, Senator Borah and
Jones, Republicans, and Senator Poin
dexter, Progressive, voted for it. Sen
ator O'Gorman arraigned the opposing
Democrats, declaring that they were
championing an offensive monopoly
and borrowing Republican arguments
in favor of an un-American principle
of protection"
AS finally agreed to the bill, besides
providing for the registry of foreign
built ships, authorizes the president,
in his discretion to suspend provisions
of the law requiring all watch officers
of American vessels in the foreign
trade, to be citizens of the United
States, requiring survey, inspection
and measurement of vessels admitted
to registry by officers of the United
States.

QUICK THINKING SAVED DAY
Too Small Boy Was Allotted Necessity
for Preserving Family Reputa-
ton, and He Did Ii.

At banquet of the ministers Of
New York, Doctor Johnston of the
Morrisania church, told this story:
"One of the members of my church
has instilled into his family the belief
that the collection Is vitality impor-
tant part of the service.
Consequently his little boy Thomas
never comes to church without his
contribution
"One Sunday, as the elders began to
take up the collection at the morning
service, Thomas looked along the pew
to see if the various members of the
family were provided with a contribu-
ton.
Noticing guest of his sisters emp
ty-handed, he whispered:
Where is your money!
have none was the reply.
Time was short and the necessity
great. In fash the little fellow met
the emergency by saying:
Here take mine. That'll pay for
you, and I'll get under the seat
And, fiinging his own coin into her
lap, he disappeared under the pew,
where he remained until the elder had
gone by-and the reputation of the
family was saved" Maya

Miss Madge Leasing, who is now

She was telling us the other day
that soon after she went to Germany

The interview complimented her
on being able to speak her lines in
the piece without a trace of foreign

her that American, English and Irish

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

1t seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee is dis

tains a poisonous drug-caffeine
which causes the trouble, but Postum

Treasure Ships Reach Port

Falmouth. England, Aug. 1S.-The
United States cruisers Tennessee and
North Carolina dropped anchor in Fal-
mouth harbor. The North Carolina
reached port half an hour before her
sister ship. This is accounted for by
the fact that the Tennessee has been
longer in commission and is a Bit
foul. The Tennessee has on board
more than 100000 in gold, small
amount of which will be distributed in
London. The remainder is destined
for the continent to help stranded Am

tingents embarking at Dublin, Ireland.
Many other regiments sailed from
Liverpool, while still others took ship
at Eastbourne, Southampton and other

The war office Immediately made
public this report with comment of its
own. 1t adds that the French now
hold all the territory for SO miles

The intimation is plain that the
