 President Wilson reiterated his de- termination to urge the ship purchase plan and said he expected 1t to be in operation within two or three weeks.

AGREEMENT FOR DISSOLUTION
 OF NEW HAVEN ROAD SYSTEM.
Will Probably Be Submitted to United
 States District Court Next Week.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Preparations were begun today by department of justice officials and officials of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad to write the agreement for the systems dissolution into legal form and submit it, probably next week to the United States district court at New York.
 The submission of the decree will mark the final stage in the 'Iegotia- tions between the law department of the government and the railroad. It will be written by T. W. Gregory, the special assistant to the attorney gen eral who has been named by Presi- dent Wilson to succeed MT. Mickey holds when he takes office as an asso- ciate justice of the supreme court. MT. Gregory will be assisted by p. M. Swacker and the New Haven will be represented by Moorf1eld Storey and Walker D. Hines as counsel.
 It was said at the department to- night that there is no reason to be- lieve that the New Haven lawyers will fail to agree to the departments ideas, since the latest action of the New Ha- ven board of directors was to declare willingness to meet MT. McReynoldS' terms. The decree, however, must be carefully written and the labor on it is expected to take a week or more
 The decree will follow the lines of the agreement between the department and hte railroad last spring. The New Haven will put its BostSn and Maine and trolley line stock in the hands of trustees. The question of the roads retention of the so-called sound lines will not be mentioned in the decree, that matter being left to the determin- ation of the Interstate Commerce com mission.

 War Risk Bill Halted in House.
 Other plans for fostering American shipping made little progress. The war risk bill. which already has passed the senate, was halted in the house by get a quorum.
 Representative Alexander later i'm troduced bill to authorize a special rule for immediate consideration of the measure with debate limited to one hour. An effort will be made to get action on it tomorrow.
 To Come Under American Registry.
 The new law opening American reg istry to foreign built craft on modified terms, the first of the emergency meas ures passed since the outbreak of the European war. awaited the presidents decision as to suspension of certain sections of the navigation laws. Ad- vices, however, came to officials today that fleets of the Standard oil com pany, the United Fruit company and the United States Steel corporation would come under American registry. Federal Steamship Company. The administration bill for the or ganization of a federal steamship company provides that the shares shall be $100 each; the corporation may be- giH business as soon as 51 per cent of the stock has been subscribed. and all not subscribed by the public may be taken by the government. The gov- ernment ships will be excluded iron, the coastwise ships.

must be prepared for long and eX- hausting struggle.
 While not many reproacheS come from the supporters of Lord Roberts crusade for compulsory military ser vice, not a few admit that they never realized ho wsmall a part the British army counted in a great European struggle.
 Thus far England has felt the war far less than any European nation ngaged-probably less than Holland and Switzerland but now, waiting for the issue of the battle and for the lists of killed and wounded, the British people understood all that it means.
 Boats From Belgium Crowded. Every boat from Belgium comes crowed with impoverished refugees, who have fled before the German in- vasion. An organization is being form | ed to care for these people and part | of the Prince of Wales relief fund which amounts to more than $7,500, COG will be sent to Antwerp for sufferers | who have taken refuge there. Thou sands of Belgians have crossed the French border for asylum and a com l mittee will arrange for their relief. England and France apparently pro- l pose care for their smaller ally, who thus far has borne the brunt of the hardshfps which the war entails.

 HOSTILE WARSHIPS
We'll Out to Sea with Nearly Years
 Supply of Provisions.

Delaware Breakwater, Del, Aug. 24 The North German Lloyd steamer Brandenburg which sailed from Phila.- delphia Saturday with all available space filled with coal and nearly a years supply of provisions, has elud ed hostile warships and is now well out to sea. This was the opinion ex- pressed today by shipping men who urged that if the steamer was still hugging the Atlantic coast within the three mile limit as one unconfirmed report stated, she would almost sure ly have been sighted by. coasting ves- sels, with the exception of a few hours the weather along the coast has been clear since the Brandenburg, whose destination was given in the clearance papers as Bergen, Norway, passed this point early Saturday night. Incoming vessels of all classes have been asked for information regarding the steam CTS whereabouts, but up to a late hour tonight she had not been sighted. The British cruiser, reported to be the Essex, which had been lying eight or ten miles off shore. was not in sight at daybreak today but returned from the eastward shortly after noon and resumed her position.
 Tonight her searchlights were kept playing upon the entrance to the breakwater.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 24.-DetaiIs of the war scare at Prince Rupert B. C. last week. when report was circu- lated that the German cruiser Leip- zig was about to lombard the town, were brought here yesterday by the American steamship Spokane, which arrived from southeastern Alaskan ports. The Spokane put in at Prince Rupert Friday when the excitement over the reported approach of the German cruiser was at its height The wharf was lined with armed soldiers, who for half an hour would not per- init the Spokane to dock. After the Spokane was permitted to make a landing none of her tourist passeng- CTS was allowed to go ashore and seven men holding tickets for Prince Rupert were permitted to land only after careful investigation.
 One Of these passengers, a German, was detained by the soldiers as soon as he set foot on shore. but was re- leased when he proved his mission in the Canadian port was peaceable.
 After the Spokane resumed her voy- age to Seattle she passed the Cana dian cruiser Rainbow. 14 miles south of Prince Rupert, steaming at full speed towards the frightened city. A CT Prince George flying the Red Cross bow.
