PRESIDENT URGING THIS PLAN
AS MEANS OF BUILDING UP
PERMANENT AMERICAN
MARINE.
HOUSE BILL WOULD CREATE
$1O,OOO,OOO ORGANIZATION
Determined TO Urge Haste in Passage
of Measure as Pianned-Lack of
Quorum in House Is Cause of
Delaying the War Risk
Bill,

Washington, Aug. %. Plans for
building up permanent American
merchant marine by the purchase of
foreign ships to be operated by the
government are going forward in con-
gress and at the White House.
100000 Corporation.
In the house, Representative Alex.
ander introduced the administration
bill for the incorporation Of 10,000,-
600 organization to own and operate
ocean steamers under supervision Of
a shipping board composed of the
president, the secretary Of the treas
ury, the postmaster general and the
secretary of commerce. The govern
ment would subscribe for not less than
81 per cent Of the capital stock by an
appropriation. Ships would be bought
by the sale of $30,000,000 Panama ca
nal bonds.
President Urging Scheme.
President Wilson reiterated his de-
termination to urge the ship purchase
plan and said he expected it to be in
operation within two or three weeks.
Reports that he had considered the
advisability of abandoning the pro-
iect, he said, were without foundation.
The fact that private capital had
shown no indication Of desire to act
unless the government guaranteed Sc
curities, he declared, merely made it
necessary for the government to take
the initiative.
The president believes the govern.
ment will be able to develop new trade
routes and make the project desirable
to private capital and to meet the
possibility the bill would provide for
sale of the governments stock in the
company at any time the shipping
board deemed that advisable.
Other Plans Advance Slowly.
Other plans for fostering American
shipping made little progress, The
war risk bill, which already passed
the senate, was halted in the house
by the failure of the rules committee
to get quorum. representative Alex
ander later introduced bill to au-
thorize a special rule for immediate
consideration Of the measure with de-
bate limited to one hour. An effort
will be made to get action on it to-
day.

MOVEMENTS OF STEFANSSON
REPORTS TELL WHEREABOuTS
OF ARCTIC EXPLORER.
Indicate He Reached Anderson Divi.
sion-Set Out Alone to Cross
the Arctic Sea.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 25.--A report re-
ceived here concerning the movements
of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, head of the
Arctic exploring expedition, which is
being financed by the Canadian gov
eminent, shows that five months ago
he set out across the Arctic ice alone
to join DR.. r. M. Anderson, command
ing one division of the explorers, to
the east OF the Mackenzie river. The
naval department here believes that
Stefansson has reached the Anderson
party safely. His plan was to help
DR.. Anderson with the exploration
work which had been arranged for the
land party before the expedition left
Vancouver for the north.
The dispatch is from Inspector
Noodle Of the mounted police. It
states that at Dawson, on Aug. Is.
half-breed trader from Fort McPher.
son, reported that Inspector Phillips
there told him in July that Stefansson
and Stalkerson left Herechelt in March
with eight men and about Is dogs to
go straight across the ice to Peel
Point or Coronation gulf. The eight
men returned, reporting that Stefans-
son had gone on with the ice drifting
past. They thought he would make
toward Coronation gulf.
The dispatch adds that two sur
vivors from DIR. Anderson's ship at
Collinson Point arrived at Fort Nc
Pherson over the ice and left by boat
to survey the delta down the river.
They reported that DR.. Anderson
would go along the coast toward Co
ronation gulf, looking for Stefansson.

WEST FEARS NO DEPRESSION
SENTIMENT is VERY CHEERFUL,
THERE REGARDING FINANCES.
Eastern Financiers Not So Sanouine
Concerning Effect European War
Will Have on u. S.

New York, Aug. 25.-The be- ming
or the fourth week of involuntary
financial stagnation finds little change
in the domestic situation. The great
est obstacle continues to be that pre-
sented by the paralysis of the foreign
exchange market, for which the bank.
ing interests are yet without remedy.
The latest proposition advanced by
one group of fnanciers suggests an
extension of six months at an in.
creased rate of interest for payment
OF New York city warrants and other
obligations largely held abroad, which
are soon to mature. According to re-
port, however, an influential member
OF the British banking community has
declared its unalterable opposition to
such a plan.
The all-absorbing topic of discussion
in high financial quarters is the ex-
tent Of the country's indebtedness to
Europe. This situation has been great
ly complicated by the enormous sums
of money held in France and Germany
to the credit of American bankers and
which must, in the nature of existing
conditions, remain in state of rigid
ity for an indefinite period.
Because the London stock exchange
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
opening under very restricted condi-
tons, rumors were again current that
resumption of operations here is not
far of. All such reports were depre-
Gated by exchange officials as false and
misleading. Unofficially it is believed
that even under the most auspicious
circumstances business on the local
exchange will not be resumed for an
other month at least.
Sentiment in the west is more cheer.
full, the opinion prevailing that this
country is sure to emerge into pe-
riCd of prosperity largely because of
the European war. The western mon
ey market is also tending toward great
err ease and encouragement is found in
the steady diminution of idle cars.

Shoot Civilians and Burn Homes.

London, Aug. pa Rotterdam dis
patch quotes a letter written by a
German army officer to the Dussel-
dorfer Tageblatt, in which he say:
I'VE are compelled to burn villages,
because civilians, especially women,
shoot on our advancing troops. Yes
terday civilians from a church tower
killed several of my men. We took
prisoners all the occupants of the
church and shot them and burned sew
eral houses to teach the civilians
lesson. Whenever we are fortunate
enough to capture French snipers we
hang them"
