Ryan Building Faulty.

That the R. r. Ryan three-story
building, in process of construction on
South Commercial street, adjoining The
Capital Journal block, is defective in
many respects from foundation to gar
ret, was the report of special commit
tee. The colums are weak and would
not sustain the weight that it would be
necessary to support when the building
is completed. No plans or specifications
could be found. 1t was recommended
to the council that all work be suspend
ed until plans and specifications were
filed at the city hall and approved by
the city engineer and the work already
done fixed up so as to meet require
ments.

will be hardly less for several weeks
to come.
Only nine OF the nineteen ships have
frst-class accommodations Only one,
the Mauritania, ranks as a greyhound,
but the steerage in the ships with only
two classes Of accommodations is still
eagerly seized by wealthy Americans
fresh from the scene of hostilities.

BUSINESS UNDER TEST
Banking Machinery of United States
Is In Smooth Running Order.

New York.-The many changes that
are going on in the buying and sell
ing of merchandise give opportunity
for a test OF the real mercantile abil-
ity OF selling agencies intrusted with
the distribution OF mill products and
of jobbers intrusted with the conser-
walton of retail trade and the hand
ling Of staple and semistaple products
for common use.
When the machinery OF backing is
in smooth running order, the means
of transportation unhampered. and
production of a definite character and
volume arranged for in a world that
is at peace. the trade builds up Ger
tain idols in personalities and the
fetch of success covers IA multitude
OF blunders. When panic comes on,
whether from war or other things,
many idols are shattered and the
trade begins to look around TO search
out the men who are holding steady
and who are going about their bust
ness with the orderliness OF other
days.

AMERICANS TREATED WELL
Travellers Are Given Help and Apology
Made for Inconvenience.

Rotterdam.-A thorough canvass OF
Americans here show that the Ger
mans have been universally courteous
to them The hardships undergone
by citizens of the United States have
been due in all cases to the conditions
attending mobilization, the lack of IA
cilities for travel and at first a re-
striction of the hours during which
the streets could be frequented A
week after the opening of hostilities
the latter restraint was eliminated.
The government took measures not
alone looking TO the safety OF Ameri-
cans, but also to their comfort Those
hardest hit by the war are American
students in Germany who have found
difficulty in getting their usual remit
tances. Every measure has been taken
to help them.
Dr. w. G.. Kanier, of Detroit. who
travelled widely in Germany during the
mobilization, stated that Americans
could not have received better treat
ment in their own country. While in
speeding passports and baggage, Off
cials were courteous and in numerous

United States Government is Warned

Washington-Grave anxiety Is felt
by the administration because of the
prospects OF a general massacre of
Christians in Turkey, the danger of
which has been communicated to the
department of state by Henry Nor
ganthau, ambassador to Turkey Mr..
Morganthau has taken the matter up

sultan himself, but, according to his
advices to the government, the only
assurance he has been able 20 obtain
has been that the sultan will do all
in his power to protect American citi-
zens.
According to the information ac-
quired by the American ambassador
the Mohammedans in Turkey are de.
termined to avail themselves Of the
disturbed conditions in Europe, and
the fact that the great Powers are en-.
gagged in a terrible military conflict,
which would preclude the adoption OF

In that communication the United
States noted with satisfaction" that
Japan promised TO maintain the in

no additional territory and had pledged
herself in pursuance of the Anglo

BUSINESS HAS A CHANGE
Will Be Able To Duplicate Everything
That War Has Shut Out.

New York-The European conflict
has set on foot in this country organ
lied movements looking 10 the enamel
patton Of the American manufacturer
from dependence on Europe. If it Is
to be q long war the United Sta.es will
of necessity have to prove whether
American ingenuity can meet the sit
uation. This ingenuity must crystel-
ize in two ways-frst, in the produ-
cion OF materials heretofore supplied
by foreign countries chiefly Germany,
for the use OF American manulac-
turers; second, in the manufacture Of
articles for South America and far
Eastern trade, which must look to the
United States because Of the curtail-
ment Of production abroad.
Already manufacturers throughout
the country are consulting chemists
and other experts and laying the
ground work to solve the problem.
Many factories face the prospect OF
closing down unless certain drugs and
chemicals can be obtained and in
Philadelphia retail druggists in con
vention adopted a resolution asking
for changes in the patent laws so that
drugs patented abroad can be manu-
featured here.

THE TRANSFER OF SHIPS
Advanced Position Taken by the Uni
ted States on Neutrality.

Washington.-Sir Cecil Spring Rice
the British ambassador, who ha. just
returned from London, conferred at
length with Secretary Bryan and
Counselor Lansing on the general sub
ject of American neutrality. As the
United States and Great Britain have
been foremost in developing abstract
principles of international law govern
ing obligations Of neutrals, the British
ambassador was particularly DESTROYS
that the United States continue the
advanced position it has taken on neu-
trality as a whole.
Regarding the principles of interna-
tional law concerning contraband,
blockade, the rights of neutral ship
ping and the obligations upon neutrals
to maintain strict impartiality in their
treatment of the war and commercial
ships of belligerents, it is the purpose
of the British government, and it is
understood of the other belligCrents,
to request such neutral powers as the
United States to deal with each ques-
ton involving the application of neu.
tralty, as a distinct legal proposition.
This would eliminate the diplomatic
treatment of such questions, and soon
would result in a standard and uniform
method Of dealing with these delicate
and difficult questions which would not
be subject TO challenge by any fair
minded belligerent.
