The Senate was flooded with petit
lions today relating to the pending
bill which would amend the Panama
canal act to admit foreign built ships
to American register. They came from
commercial associations in the west
urging the passage Of the measure
with as brief debate as possible in
order that American crops may be
moved.
Petitions from the Pacific coast or
ganizations protested against ships
admitted under the proposed bill en-
gaging in coastwise trade, while sea-
mems organizations protested against
proposed suspension Of the regulation
that watch officers on American ships
must be American citizens

to approve Of the application of pur-

BAN ON PUBLIC DISCUSSION.
President Issues Edict to Army and

All officers Of the United States Army
and Navy, whether active or retired. are
prohibited from publicly discussing the
military or political situation in Europe
in a presidential edict issued today.
The following letter was sent by the
President to Secretaries Garrison and

public comment of any kind upon the mil

litical or military criticism can be given
where other nations are involved.

mediation proposal to their home gov

it be accepted.

Mr.. Bryan delivered the message to q
representative of the legation of the
Netherlands and other countries not
directly involved, but as a matter of in
formation to their foreign offices.
The diplomats expressed no opinion
to the Secretary, but some of them
told newspaper men afterward they be-
neved the situation had gone too far
to be halted by mediation. The Aus
trian ambassador thought, however,
that even if the offer were not now

U. S. Not to Bring Up
Far Eastern Questions
With the Great Powers

Although the Chinese government
through Yung Kwai, secretary Of the
Chinese legation in Washington, has ap-
pealed to the United States to intercede
for the maintenance of peace / nthe far
east it Is improbable that this govern
ment will take up such a matter with
the warning powers. While the final an
swer has not been given. it is more than
likely that the United States will deem
it inadvisable to take the step requested.
In view of the large and important in
terests and possessions of the respective
powers in China, there is little basis for
belief that the conflicting nations would
pay any attention to a proposal that they
exclude the war now in progress from
that part of the world 1t is taken for
granted. for example. that the British
fleet will at once seek the Germans. who
are concentrated at Tsingtau. their chief
Chinese port, with the idea Of destroying
them.
May Speak of Concessions.
1t is possible. however 1t is stated.
that this country will undertake to
make representations to the belliger-
ents with view to obtaining the ex-
emption of the foreign concessions in
China from becoming the scenes Of
conflict. A basis for such action is
contained in the treaty between the
United States, signed in 1868. but it Is
not believed that a broad proposition
to keep the war generally out of the
east will be viewed favorably.
The request is based upon the pre-
vious action of the United States dur
ing the war between France and Prus-
STA in 1870. At that time the Secretary
Of State. Mr.. Fish. brought about an
agreement between the two nations to
refrain from hostilities in Chinese
waters. The basis Of Secretary Fish's
appeal and the reason for Its success
at that time was his representation
that fighting between the French and
Germans In Chinese waters might pro-
woke China and the Chinese people
into a general warfare upon all for
eigners. The danger, however. at the
present time of anti-foreign outbreaks
is considered remote.

Offer Carefully Considered.

The offer Of the United States was
made after many days of careful con-
sideration by the President and his
cabinet. The cabinet almost unani-
mously supported the proposal. From
the first the idea has been in the minds
of administration officials, but as the
President read dispatches from Ameri-
can diplomats reciting the failure of
repeated efforts on the part Of other
powers to mediate in the dispute when
1t was confined to Austria and Servia,
and later between Germany and RUS
STA, he was not encouraged.
As long as European nations them
selves were endeavoring to adjust the
situation. Mr.. Wilson thought it was
the traditional duty of the American
government not to interfere.
When practically all Europe suddenly
became involved and the United States
stood forth as the solitary power at this
time. with the hope of exerting a moral
influence for peace In the present situa-
ton. The treaties would provide an inter-
natioal commission to investigate causes
of disputes within a period of six months
or more before resorting to arms.
