Opposition to the Alexander Meas

the House.

As opposition to the administration
plan to capture European trade with pur-
chased German vessels dies away in the
democratic ranks in the House, the plans
to rush the Alexander merchant marine
bill through are Undertaking.. A law

majority control of great ship-owning
corporation plying the lanes Of trade be-
tween here and Europe may be on the
statute books by October. and congress
sional leaders believe indications point
toward a huge purchase of Hamburg
American line ships.
The Alexander bill, favored by the
President and Secretary McAdoo. has
been ordered favorabIy reported to the
House, and will be on the calendar
ready for debate next week. The naval
affairs subcommittee had been slightly
nervous over the possibility of interna-
ttona1 entanglements If the United States
should take too bold a course in pur-
chasing German ships and GO after the
trade of belligerent nations in those
same ships. However, conferences with
the President have somewhat aIlayed
the fears of the members of that COM
mittee, who had framed a merchant
marine bill limiting the activity of the
new merchant fleet to Central and South
American ports.
Dill WILL be Amended.
However, the Alexander bill will be
amended in accordance with recommen-
dations of naval committee members so
that in purchasing or building merchant
vessels the government shall do 81 with

If the Alexander bill is enacted II will,
create government shipping board, COM
posed of the President and three cabinet
officers. the Postmaster General. the Sec
rotary of the Treasury and the Secretary
of Commerce. The board will control the
vote of the United States in the corpora
ton which will be authorized to operate
the ships.
The United States Is to be the majority
stakeholder in this ten-million-dollar cor
poration, and it Is the belief of Secre-
tary McAdoo- and other experts that the
conditions point to the government be-
ing practically the sole stakeholder The
government will sell $3O.OOO.OOO worth of
Panama canal bonds, and purchase or
build ships with that money The ships
will be turned over to the corporation,
which will reimburse the Treasury by the
deposit of it's own gold bonds to the
amount of the ships value.

day In the price Of wheat. Belief
strengthened that Turkey would enter

newal of export business by way of the
Gulf of Mexico tended also to lift the
market. After opening y to 2k high

Corn rose with wheat. There was a
good miscellaneous demand. The OPEN

relief of attaches Of the Syrian Protest
ant College at Beirut. Syria. there has
been 81 GOO forwarded within three days
through government agencies to meet the
extraordinary necessities of American
teachers and missionaries in territory
ruled over by Turkey.
This aid appears to have been prompted
by the suggestion of the Secretary of
State that conditions in Turkey might
soon become unsettled and that nation
involved in the great old world war now
going on.
The latest deposit of $4,000 was made
by w. M Kingsley. treasurer of the

notified of the deposit and proceed on
general instructions to put the amount at
the disposition Of the beneficiary.
Assistant Secretary Malburn of the
Treasury Department took an active
interest in this matter on request of
Treasurer Kingsley. He asked the
State Department to see that the de-
posit was duly cabled to the institu-
ton at Beirut.

that country by way Of France. Ambas-
dor Herrick has asked the State Depart
ment to advise Americans not to come to
Paris in the future. It is inferred the
request was prompted by the possibility
that military operations about the French
capital might block the railroads.
Mr.. Herrick has arranged a special
train for today to carry 1000 Americans
from Paris to Havre.
William G. Sharp, who is to succeed
Mr.. Herrick as ambassador at Paris, ar
rived there yesterday. He will familiar
ize himself with the post before taking
charge.

prehension concerning Assistant Secre-
tary Breckenridge. reported to have dis

ported to the State Department from

PRESIDENT WITHOUT
PROTESTS ON BOMBS
No Complaints Received at the
White House Against Ger
mans Dropping Explosives.

1t was said at the White House to-
ping of bombs by German air craft
have not been received yet by the Presi-
dent. and it was indicated that the
President will take no action upon
them when they are received. The
President may not receive the Belgian
commission which is coming to pro-
test. The commissioners probably will
be received by Secretary Bryan.
The steamship Adriatic of the British
naval reserve will be permitted to sail
from New York without interference
from American authorities. Assistant
Secretary Malburn of the Treasury De-
partment, acting on advice from the
State Department, has wired the New
York customs officials not to prevent
the clearance of the Adriatic. The new
joint neutrality board, Mr. Malburn was
notified, finds nothing in the armament
of the Adriatic to warrant interference
with her sailing.
Collector Malone of the New York GUS
tomshouse telegraphed yesterday to As
sistant Secretary Malburn additional In
formation regarding the Adriatc. which
reached port there Saturday, intending
to clear today. He informed the Treas
ury Department that the Adriatic had

enough for the round trip, $50 non-mili-

rounds of ammunition for her four six
inch guns, carried for protection. Collec-
tor Malone said, the Adriatic carried no
munitions of war.

Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British am
bassador. after a conference with Coun-
selor Lansing at the State Department

the note sent by Sir Edward Grey to the
state Department through Ambassador
Page accepting the proposal of the Unit
ed States that the Sayville, L. L.. and
Tuckerton, N. j., wireless stations pc
opened equally to all belligerents and pub
lie business, and a strict censorship main
tanned on all coded messages. The am
bassador learned also that Germany had
accepted the same proposal. and that the
cables would be in no way censored.
The Washington government Is waiting
reply from France before issuing ne"
instructions and officials were confident
the plan would be approved.
Talks Over Neutrality.
The British ambassador talked over
with President Wilson in general terms,
American neutrality in the European
war The ambassador expressed the
hope and desire of his government that
none of the numerous questions Of neu-
trality which might arise should affect
friendly relations between Great Britain
and the United States.
1t was learned that the British diplo-
mat felt confident the American govern
ment would enforce neutrality Impair
TALLY and in accordance with the most
advanced thought on the duty of neu-
trails. He is understood to have ex-
planned that Britain desired only fair
field and no favor.
President Wilson issued his neutrality
proclamation in the hostilities existing

TURKISH AND GERMAN
ENJOYS HERE CONFER
Neither Will Divulge Any In
formation-No War News
From the Sultan.

The Turkish ambassador, A. Rustem
Bey, and the German ambassador, Count
Won Bernstorff, held a conference here
today in which the general war situation
was discussed, and particularly the part
which Turkey is expected to play in the
great European war drama.
Both stated after the conference that SO
far as they were concerned they mad no
definite information about Turkey having
declared war.
Turkish officials here yesterday
stopped with the statement that the
mobilization of Turkish troops was not
directed against Greece: today they ex-
pressed the view that a declaration of
war by Turkey on Russia at any mo-
ment would be no surprise.
The Turkish ambassador expressed
the belief that war has not been de-
clared upon Russia to this time. and
pointed to the general absence of con-
firmation in diplomatic circles of the
rumor that war had taken place as
sustaining that belief.
He stated that within two hours after
declaration of war. should one be
made, the news would be known all
over the earth.
Bryan Has No News.
State Department officials admitted to-
day their apprehension over the situa-
ton in Turkey. For three days there has
not been single cablegram from Am
bassador Morganthau. AS the situation
grew acute a week ago he communicated
full details of the diplomatic crisis and
kept in constant touch on matters OF
funds for Americans.
The belief prevailed that cable COM
munication either had been interrupted
or restricted on account of the grav-
ity of the political situation. A dec
laration of war by Turkey on Great
t. frHr foVs a
here, though the Turkish ambassador
declares he has been without advices
for several days and will not predict
what course his country will take.

There is another complication in the

into any girls heart, but Miss crucc said
she was not afraid. II has 10 do with the
fact that she and the other girls in the
launching party will carry the state
flower Of Oklahoma. and that flower is
nothing less than mistletoe. Pretty girls
and mistletoe always have been a COM
binaton to cause complications. and in
this case the situation will be further in

gallant young navy men, who, OF all men.
are never lacking in doing the proper
