WIRELESS DECISION
AWAITS CONFERENCE
Navy, Justice and State Officials Dis
cnss Proposed Closing of Sias-
conset Station.

Action on the alleged violation of
neutrality by the Siasconset wireless
station in accepting a message from a
British cruiser awaited the outcome of
conferences today between Mr. Daniels
and officials of the Departments of
State and Justice.
The Secretary. had before him a re-
cent request from the Marconi COM
rights of the government in the matter
could be decided in suit being pre-
pared for the federal courts.
Secretary Bryan returned here today
from a weeks vacation in Asheville,
N. C. The principal business awaiting
his attention was the wireless contro-
versy.
Daniels Firm for Enforcement.
Mr.. Daniels has indicated plainly that
he does not intend to permit enforce
ment by the government of neutrality
at all wireless stations to be inter-
fered with by court litigation. He
has called attention to the opinion of
Attorney General Gregory, to the effect
that the President, as head of the
army and navy. practically has un-
lIIiitcO dutHOTtty IN times OF PUBIC
peril" 1t is held that under present
conditions the United States easily
might be drawn into war through fail
ure to enforce rigid neutrality.
Attention also is called to the fact
that this country has taken up with
the nations at war the entire matter
Of cable, wireless and telegraph COM
municatton, and that 1t was agreed
with Great Britain and Germany that
wireless only would be censored.
It Is pointed out that cable and tele-
graph messages are in a different class
from wireless because they go without
interruption from this country to ,neu-
trial or belligerent territory. Ships at
sea. however. could pick up wiEsless
MESA ges going from the United States,
and in this way commerce could be
imperiled and hostile operations car
ried on along the shores of this coun-
try.
The rights of the government in the
matter are believed by officials to be
clear. and they will close the station
at Siasconsett, II 1t appears that its
operation will endanger the neutrality
position taken by the United States.

Mississippian in Lille, France;

Occupy, Town.
PARISiANS. REMAIN CALM
IN FACE OF HOSTILITIES
John Subat Relates His Experiences
in the Early Part of the
Contest.

What are probably the nearest to ac-
tual WIT experiences of any American
who has as yet come to Washington
from abroad are related by John Subat
of Hazlshurst, Miss, who recently
landed in New York on the Faber liner
Patrie,, and who has been for the last
day Or two in this city.
Mr. Subat was in Lille, France, upon
the occasion of its occupation by Ger
man. troops. Although such a momen-
tous event, it possessed little of the
ofteu-pictured glamour of war, he says.
The city had been almost deserted by
its Inhabitants and visitors. The noise
Of the blowing UP of its Notifications
by the retreating French had not long
before died away, and Mr.. Subat, COM
PEELED to be one of the last to leave,
saw the first detachment of Germans
enter the town. 1t was composed of
about eighty cavalrymen, clad in the
greenish-gray field uniform of the
kaiser's army, who rode quietly, but. in
a very -businesslike manner, through
the main street.
Another impressive sight witnessed
by the returned traveller was the en-
trance into Paris of Sir John French
chief of the British
unostentatiously in a motor car and.
although every one seemed to know
who he was and to be tremendously
interested, there was none of the WILD
excitement and cheering so often in
obliged In by the Parisians in the
past.
Mr. Subat had been in Paris in COM
pany with a friend, Harold Sykes.
whom business took to Lille. The prog
ress of hostilities made 1t seem ad-
visable for the former to journey to
that town to get in touch with his
companion This, however, he was
never able to do, owing to the great
excitement in that and neighborine
cities. but his Journey took him
through this section of French ter
ritiory. just as the Germans were
occupying it. On his return trip he
was compelled to show his passports
both to French and German military
officials, and states that he met with
the greatest courtesy and considera-
ton both from defenders and in

RUSH FOR MILEAGE
BOOKS BEFORE NEW
RATES BECOME LAW
Railroads Report Big De-
mand From Travellers
Anxious to Avoid Quarter
Cent a Mile Raise.

Since the railroads announced that aft
er october l there will be an increase
from 9 to "a cents mile in the rates
to be charged for mileage books there
has been big demand for existing books
on the Pennsylvania and Reading Rail-
roads from travelling statesmen and others
anxious to get in their supplies before
the increase becomes effective. Agents
generally are reporting an exceptional
run on the books now in use. While
the schedule of new rates has already
been filed at Washington. they have not
yet been approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The Reading Railway will inaugurate a
new feature in connection with its in
Interchangeable mileage books after Oc-
tober /. Heretofore these books have
been good only for use on certain lines
in the East, The term interchangeable
was apparently misnomer since there
we're only certain railway systems, aside
from the Reading, on which they would
be accepted. Under the new arrangement
they will be accepted for fare on virtually
all lines east of Chicago.
For the regulation 500 mileage book,
good only on the system which issues 1t,
the new rate will be S22JO for 1000 miles.
The new rate for the books with inter-
Changeable features will be S25, with a
rebate of $3.50 when the book cover shall
be turned back to the company. The re-
bate now amounts to So These books
will not be transferable.
