admit foreign built ships to Ameri-

port on the measure by Democratic

dent Wilson for approval. 1t is be-
lieved he will sign it.

in Presence of
German Troops

Paris Aug. 1.-THE following
story illustrating the GOODNESS of the
French aviators is being recited in

while flying over Alsace an
aviator was obliged, on account of
lack of gasoline to land In an Alsa-
clan village. While he was filling
his tank he was surprised by a
strong German patrol and in the
presence of the enemy the French
man continued to replenish his sup
ply Of fuel. The Germans were TAX
en- aback and fearing a trap, they
halted nearby, without firing.
When his tank was replenished

Washington, Aug. 17.-President
Wilson declared today ne had nc
reason to question the good faith of
the declaration of Japan in promis-
ing to observe the integrity of China
in connection with the Japanese ulti-
matum to Germany demanding the
surrender OF Kiao Chau to the Jap
anese government. The President
would not discuss the ultimatum as
a whole, saying that one of Dutch
neutrality was to have no opinion
on what other nations were doing.
Secretary of State Bryan was at
supposedly in connection with
Japans ultimatum. Both the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Bryan refused to dis
cuss the visit.
The President made it clear that
the United States would not be in
volved in any way in the Japanese
German controversy and spoke of the
assurances Of Japan that she would
maintain the integrity of China as
having been given to the powers gen.
orally as well as to the United
States. Asked particularly as to the
promise of Japan for the eventual
restoration to China of the German
provinces he indicated his confidence
in the good faith of Jaoan to carry
out that assurance at the close OF
the war.
