We heard q man say the other morn

Feb.-means Freeze every body, and
that man looked frozen in his ulster. 1t
was apparent that he needed the kind
of warmth that stays, the warmth that
reaches from head to foot, all over the
body. We could have told him from
personal knowledge that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla gives permanent warmth, it in
vigorates the blood and speeds it along
through artery and vein, and really fits
men and women, boys and girls, to en-
joy cold weather and resist the attacks
of disease. 1t gives the right kind of
warmth. stimulates and strengthens at
the same time, and all it's benefits are
lasting. There may be a suggestion in
this for you.-Advt.

Representatives OF the United States

they thought the despatch from Washing

built ships to the United States was lust
little premature. This step may he
taken, hut II has not yet been definitely
decided upon.
At the office OF President Farrell OF
the steel Corporation II was said early
In the day that statement would be
given out at o'clock. At that time the
announcement was made that for tho
present nothing will be said. II was ad-
mittcd that steps had been taken TO

pRrtment Of the standard oil Company OF
New Jersey. said
UP to this time nothing has been done

MR.. STRAUS TALKS ON RUSSIA.
Wants Car to Give Equal Rights TO
All Subjects.

LONDON. Aug. 24.-Oscar s. Strsus.
former American Ambassador TO Tur
key and n member OF the Permanen,
Court OF Arbitration, said In an inter
view to-day:
"Sympathies with the Allies In the war
would be greatly Increased were II no,
for the feeling that Russia does not grant
all her citizens equal rights In time Of
peace. In war Russia is willing that men
of all faiths shall fight. All her citizens
want to fight. but in spirit of fair
ness Russia should put all her citizens
on an equal footing both in time OF war
and time Of peace
1T would be we'll for the allies TO hav.
Russia asHurs Roman Catholics. Jews
Dukhobors and men OF all faiths who are
nghting her battles that they shall have
equal rights with members OF the Ortho-
doS Russian Church when the struggle
ends. They ofrer their lives together In
behalf OF the Government they should
stand on an equal footing after the war
such an assurance from Russia would
strengthen the allies, II would convince
neutral nations that Russia will no longer
discriminate against any OF it's citizens
and ! hope that Great Britain and France
will suggest automatically that Rnssa
strergthen the Triple Entente by such
action"

100 VESSELS INVOLVED

WAsHrSGroN. Aug. St Edwin r.
Sweet. acting Secretary Of Commerce, has
forwarded a letter to President Wilson
urging Immediate action under authority
OF the law just approved that empowers
the President TO suspend the restrictions
that have heretofore obtained In the mat
ter OF the admission of foreign built or
foreign owned ships to American registry
Secretary Sweet is anxious for early
action In order that more than a hundred
vessels, including those operated by the
standard OIL Company, the United States
steel Corporation and the United Fruit
Company. may transfer 10 the American
hag. The steel corporation and the fruit
company already have indicated pur-
pose TO apply for American registry.
Unofficial advices are to the effect that the
Standard on Company and the Dollar
Line which operate ships on the Pacific
coast. will do likewise. Representatives
Of the United Fruit Company and other
American shipowners are now in Wash
ngton studying the situation with a view
to early action.
Officials here expect that President Will
son Will issue an order tomorrow or
wednesday suspending the requirements
that have heretofore operated against
NV "hhi4ooibl VI loItlEu SnlDS 10 Amcrl-
can registry. They explain the delay
OF the President in this matter on the
ground that he has been so deeply en-
crossed with other questions relating TO
the war that he has not found time to
act on the new registry law.
Authorities here say that there will be
no protest made 10y any OF the belllgerent
nations to the transfer Of United States
Steel Corporation, United Fruit Com
pany and standard oil vessels to the
American flag For economic and other
reasons the companies named have found
II advantageous to operate ships under
foreign registry. To comply with the
laws Of other nations the vessels Of the
American companies are nominally held
by foreign corporations. However, actual
ownership lies with the American inter-
ests
The officials appear to be confident that
the admission of these ships to American
registry will not lead to any protes, from
foreign Governments There is reason TO
believe, however. that soms of tho Ameri-
can ship owners will want definite in
formation on this score before the final
steps are taken.

There was day when the American

tor of England for the markets OF the

dent last week Is welcome as a first step
In the right direction. 1t is not, however,
a complete nor 10 any considerable ex-
tent even partial panacea for the Ills
from which our merchant shipping is
suffering.
We have wasted years attempting to
aid the ship builders of this country and
failed because we did nothing for the
ship owner. We have allowed the fetich
of Industrial paternalism to blind us
to what now appears a very simple propO-
sition: that the ship owner cannot be
manaCied without the ship builder finding
his own hands tied. The interests OF the
owners demand our FIRST attention II We
