U. S. A-Embassies Know Nothing Of It

Two foreigners Of distinguished ad-
dress. engaged in a secret mission to the
Washington embassies of all the warning
powers. Saturday night were animatedly
discussing their business in a taxicab.
Their voices were pitched very high
as If they were confident there was no
danger of being overheard, even by the
chauffeur, with the motor humming as
IL was.
But the chauffeur. an American, had
caught enough from the broken Eng
lish of his fares to convince him that
something big was stirring, something
that might involve a plot 10 drag the
United States into the big scrap across
the deep blue.
So he cooked his ears and tried to
catch more. but for all he tried to silence
the motor the louder it hummed. At
last. with a depressing sense Of having
missed something hugely important to
his country and thereby missed q place
in the hall of fame, he took all his re-
sentiment cut on the cause Of his dis
appointment in this way: Damn that
motor
The chauffeur heard the foreigners say
something about the cold reception they

cash wheat. reflected the actual weak situation
in this EIRin for The day. The ennrmOus Stocks Of
wheat at Liverpool and the continued Increase
IN the arrivals there helped the down turn. The
Liverpool future market pas per cent lower and
the SPOT was Hs much Gs ! pence louer. Con-

BRITON HERE TO GET
AID In CHARTNG SEAS
Sir A. Foster Stackhouse to Make
Seven Years Voyage After Con-
sultina Scientists for Data.

Declaring that with the opening OF the
Panama Canal and the increase Of ship
ping in the Pacific. dangers from hidden
impediments to navigation will be multi
piled, Sir A. Foster Stackhouse. who will
lead a seven-year oceanographIc expedi-
ton around the world. is in Washington
to get aid in the work from the scien-
tifc institutions here.
The ship Discovery, which was used by
Capt Scott's Inflated expedition to the
anita arctic, will be used on the voyage
1t will leave London next spring and will
come to Washington after stopping al
New York.
Commander Stackhouse intends to make
an accurate map OF all rocks, shoals,
reefs. and other impediments to ocean
navigation in all the oceans and the
greatest and most used seas and bays
He stated that many Of the present maps
are unintentionaIly misleading. in SOME
Instances placing Capt Horn more than
fifty miles too far north.
One OF the first places TO be visited
by the expedition will be the spot where
the Titanic sank. Commander Stackhouse
stated that submerged rocks have been
reported there on three occasions. The
hardest work of the expedition will be
encountered in the Pacific, where thou
sands OF volcanic islands are continually
appearing and disappearing.
Britain is supposed to rule the waves.
It's up to US now to find out what's
under them said Commander Stackhouse.
In three years ships representing a ton
mage OF 134.64s. and with crews aggregat-
ing 1873 men have left ports and never
been heard from. Assuming the cargoes
and vessels to be worth 500 a ton. that
makes a clear loss of $1,000 day, TO say
nothing Of six lives a day
