measure fFoSlaSS TOT ATS2Iiob VI Wv
100000 Corporation to be Controlled
by Government.
The Senate Commerce Commission
received from the treasury depart
ment the draft of a bill providing for
the creation of a corporation to pur-
chase and operate merchant vessels
to carry American products abroad
during the war.
The bill was drafted by officials OF
the treasury department and COM
mittee of business men, with the ap-
proval of President Wilson.
The capital stock of the corporation
is to be $1O,O00,000 a majority of which
Is to be owned by the government,
the remainder to be sold to the public.
The bill provides for the issue of S3,'
100000 Of Panama Canal bonds to Il
nance the corporation and its opera
tion.
The administration bill providing
for government insurance on Amerl'
can vessels engaged in foreign trade,
and their cargoes, was faVorably re-
ported for action to both houses OF
congress after. brief hearings In COM
mittees.
"The immediate need Of this leg1s'
lation Is this" Majority Leader Under
wood told the house committee. I'VE
owe European countries a great deal
of money. We don't want to send our
gold over to pay these debts. This
insurance plan will let us send our
wheat, corn and cotton to pay our bal
ances abroad. The risk Is slight. l
think conditions will require US to
keep this bill on the statute books but
q short time
In connection with the bill to buy
merchant ships, white house officials
said there was no lack of foreign
vessels offered for sale; but would not
say what companies had already indi'
Gated their wish to sell. 1t was re-
ported, however, that part. Of the
Hamburg-American feet was available
Members of both houses assured the
president the plan would encounter
little serious opposition. Efforts will
be made, they said, to pass the bill
next week. 1t has not been determin'
ed whether naval officers will be
placed in command Of the ships but
the president Is said to favor that
course.
The right of the United States to
buy ships from nationals of countries
engaged in war without violating neu.
trality is not questioned at the white
house. The administration viewpoint
Is that the welfare of the United
States demands the step.
The length of time that the gov
ernment would operate the proposed
merchant fleet after the passage OF
the European crises has not been con-
sidered, but 1t has been suggested that
some of the ships might be retained
as naval au1iliaries or as transports.
The government would make money
out of the project, it was predicted
but that phase did not figure In the
administration program.

Authoritative confirmation OF the oc-

other Continental cities.
An official statement issued IN Parls
says: "Namur is partially invested.
Heavy artillery opened fire. Ine
westward movement of the German
columns continues on both banks OIL
the Meuse outside the range OF the
action at Namur."
The Belgian legation In London also
announced that the Belgian army naa

Antwerp Is being proyis1oned lot a

try to take the city or merely invest
it to hold the troops inside from join
ing the allies in any defensive oper'
ations Is uncertain.
In the meantime, according to an
official statement In Paris, the Ger
mans have continued to pass the
Meuse near Huy, and Thursday were
concentrating In heavy force In Bel
gium, considerable distance south
of Brussels. From this military ex'

troops which have moved north to
Brussels constitute only part of the
German army, and that the main force
will strike toward the French from
tier somewhere in the vicinity OF
Givet, although in France it is said the
authorities expect the German advance
