Charge Action Contemplated in Building Up Merchant Marine Is TantamOunt
 to Loan to Germany

Washington, August 3l.-Great Britain, | France and Russia have advised the Uni ted States informally that they would look government of German merchant steam CTS to relieve conditions growing out of the European war and also to build up an American merchant marine. While not conveyed in any diplomatic correspon- dence, their position nevertheless has been vigorously set forth to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. France took the initiative, Ambassador Jusserand carrying his objections to President Wilson in his recent interview at the White House. George Bahkmeteff, the Russian ambassador, conferred with the British and French ambassadors to- day and later saw Secretary Bryan. All three diplomats held that there was no precedent in international law for the purchase by neutral nation of any great quantity of ships from a belligerent. The chief objection urged is that the trans action would establish a large gold credit in the hands of Germany.
 Secretary Bryan's only comment on the reception of the ship purchase plan was:
 We have not yet reached the point of purchase
 Other officials pointed out, however, the fact that the main purpose sought in urging government purchase or merchant craft had been to build up trade with South and Central Amer ica, the difficulties of carrying on commerce with belligerent nations hav- ing been realized fully. The plan also contemp1ates new routes to neutral countries in Europe.

GERMANY AGREES TO SHIP CHEMICALS
 TO UNITED STATES

Washington, August 31.-A brief cable message announcing that Rotterdam and the chemical works along the Rhine in Germany were in communication and that the German plants would ship dyes and chemicals to Rotterdam for dispatch to America by Dutch ships was received today by Representative Metz of New York.
 This means" Representative Metz said, that the chemical industry of the United States is in touch with the Ger man chemical factories. and that they are willing to relieve the emergency that has threatened not only the chemical in- dtistry of the United States but the tex tile interests and other industries which use dyes and other products of the Ger man factories It's the pest news the chemical industry has received in many days, but of course it remains to be seen just what and how much the German plants have in stock"
 Mir. Metz discussed the situation today with Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador and with state department officials In view of the development the question of sending MT. Metz to Ger many as representative or the United States in the effort to open up the Ger man sources of the worlds chemical sup ply is held in abeyanee. Amba ssador Bernstorff has promised Germany's sup port in every way possible to facilitate shipment of chemicals for America.
 One great obstacle now is the inter- xuption of the cable to Germany.

Rome, August 31.-At 7:30 o'clock tonight Cardinal Della Volpe the papal chamberlain, closed the inside door to the conclave hall in which the college of cardinals is gathered to elect a sue cessor to the late Pope Plus. Outside stood the governor and the marshal of the conclave.
 Not until a new pope has been chosen by ballot will the doors be opened or any intimation of the procedure inside be known.
 All telephone wires leading into the odifice have been cut and communica- tion with the outside world is severed.
 Tomorrow morning at Il o'clock great crowds will gather in the square outside St. Peters. Every eye will be focused on the chimney of Sistine chap el. If smoke should arise from it. it will indicate that no pope has been elected. The smoke will be from the burning ballots. with which has been mixed a little straw.

ADJUSTMENT 0F WIRELESS CENSOR
 PROBLEM NEAR
Germany and England Ac- cept U. $. Solution and It Is Believed That Other
 Powers Will Follow
sss....ss..s.....s.........ss

Washington, August 31.--Both Germany and Great Britain have accepted the first of two alternative proposals suggested by the United States in recent note to the belligerent powers of Europe regarding censorship of wireless communication with Eurone.
 France and Russia are expected to fol- low Britain. Austria is expected to be in harmony with Germany's views and an adjustment is believed near.
 The American governments proposals were as follows:
 First the wireless stations at Tucker ton, N. J., and Sayville, l.. l., should be opened to all belligerents, their embassies in the United States being permitted to send code messages subject to super vision of an American naval officer with whom copy of the respective codes would be deposited or.
 Second, Germany and Austria should be permitted to send their code messages over British and French cables, but sub- ject to censorship by American officials to determine whether or not the messages were distinctly neutral.

Monument to Tom L. Johnson

In a few months there will be erected in a public square in Cleveland monu ment to Tom l.. Johnson. says the AL bany Knickerbocker Press. Mr. John- son died in 1910. During his public career in Congress and as mayor of Cleveland he was one of the most abused officials in the United States. All the pet names applied to progressive and courageous public men were applied to Mayor John- son, such os crank" dangerous man. "socialistv and ''demagogue." Now, in 1914 the people who knew him best are erecting a monument to him.
 Mayor Johnson inaugurated many big reforms for Cleveland. reforms which won for him the title of the 'best mayor of the best governed city in the United States" The achievement for which he is best known was the establishment of S-cent fares on the traction system in that city. Cleveland, like many another American city, had long been cursed by abominable street car service and high rates of fare. In 1897 MT. Johnson, who had been In the street railway business himself, declared that Scent fares would pay and that first class service could bc given at that rate.
 Ills declaration was condemned. but be- fore he died and especially during the last four years his statement was vindicated. Cleveland people for four or five years have been given the best of service and are paying only cents for ride with transfers. But 1t took nine years for MT. Johnson. as mayor, to triumph over mis- representation. legal technicalities and other Instructions placed in his way. Finally with half his fortune gone, ex- pended for the peoples fight, and his health shattered, he died just a9 the Scent fare system was established.
 Mayor Johnson not only revolutionixed the city government of Cleveland, but was the principal factor in giving Ohio . new and modern constitution. under which the municipalities of the state have the greatest measure of home rule granted by any state in the country. -s

CONTRIBUTIONS TO
 SWISS RELIEF FIND

Washin gton. August 31.--Two contri- buttons to the Swiss relief fund reached the legation here today from Swiss sol diers in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. As they were not called on for service on account of the time it would take to get from Central America to Switzer-
 land, they said they would send money to help at home. A considerable amount of money already has been re- ceived at the legation and also at the consulate in New York from Swiss in this country. Word was received today that Otto Steiner, chancellor of the le- gat&on, who had been held at Cardiff, England. as a spy, had been released through the efforts of the Swiss lega- ltion in London.
