PRESIDENT INSISTS
ON WORLD -GIRDLING
AMERICAN MARINE
Favors Ship Purchase Bill
That Will Enable Capture
of New Trade Channels in
Every Direction.
trnoM A STAFF connEspoNprxr.I

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S-Presldent
Wilson informed callers this morning that
he is still of the opinion that the Alex
ander ship purchase bill, providing for a
Government-controlled line of steamships
to be used in the South American trade,
should be passed at this session of Con-
gress. He made it clear that he would
not abandon this measure because of the
opposition that has developed among the
Democrats of the House who are opposed
to the measure.
The President insists on a world
glrdling merchant marine that will not
only capture commerce in all channels,
but will retain It.
Following his conference with the
newspaper correspondents at 1890 o'clock
this morning, the President received Ma
jority Leader Underwood and Reprcsen-
tative Alexander. They called at the
White House, 1t is understood, to tell the
President of the threatened split in the
Democratic ranks of the House if the
ship purchase measure is pressed by the
Administration at this session. President
Wilson is believed to have informed Rep
resentatives Underwood and Alexander
that some stronger reason must be pre-
sented for dropping the Alexander bill
from the Administrations Legislative
program
The opposition in the House to the
passage of the measure seems to be well
organized and some of the Democratic
leaders say that the President Is invt-
ing defeat for the first time in Congress
by insisting upon the enactment of the
law providing for the Government-con
trolled steamship line.
The President, however, does not seem
in the least worried by the threatened
revolt in the House, and the Adminis-
tration leaders profess to be confident
that the Alexander bill will become a
law before the Senators and Represen-
tatives are permitted to adjourn Con-
gresss and get back to their homes to
look after the mending of their "politi-
cal fences"

Every effort Of the Allies to gain a

It is impossible to estimate the stag
gering loss Of life that has resulted in
| the present conflict, but it is unofIi-
! cially estimated that the Germans have
lost 100000 men in killed, wounded and
captured since they invaded France.
The desperate efforts of the Germans
to smash the allied line indicates that
they are endeavoring to conclude the
engagement before England can send
another army to reinforce the Allies.
1t is reported from the front that an
epidemic of typhoid fever has broken
out in the German army and that thou

pitfalls suffering from this disease or
from measles or dysentery The troops,
worn to the point Of exhaustion by the
continuous fighting and marching, fell
easy victims to disease when subjected
to the inclement weather which has
been prevailing.
The battle continues to rage day and
night. When the soldi,rs are not under
rifle fire, they are facing the hail from
machine guns. When they are not in
machine gun range. they are under
bombardment from artillery and howit-
zers.
Some Of the troops have ! under
fire continuously for more than $50
hours, and the only sleep they have
been able to get is snatched in the
trenches while artillery is crashing
around them and bullets are humming
overhead.
Both sides have all their forces en-
gagged. The only means Of strengthen
ing weak points on the battle line is by
moving troops from some other point
of the front.
