PASSING FORD SHIP
STIRS FRENCH MlRTH
Lafayette's Passengers at Rail
Grin as Oscar Ploughs BY.

II was cocktail time Sunday, and the
French liner Lafayette, bound from
Bordeaux for New York, was about go
miles east Of Ambrose Light. The pas
senser list represented the attitude of
France toward the war. The most tact
less remark that could have been made
would have been peace at any price.
Like a bomb that remark came. A
young Red Cross surgeon returning
from the French front had been in the
wireless room sending a message to
his family. The operator told him the
Oscar II was passing about a mile
away. He bounded down the stairs to
the smoking room and shouted, There
goes the Oscar!'
A roar of laughter went up. Every
one dashed TO the windows. This was
a little package Of France miniature
of French opinion on the peace prop
ositlon. If the good ship Oscar ii had
passed one mile nearer the Lafayette
il could not have continued its course.
The peace ship. knocking in every
cylinder and all he: steam gone, would
have been towed back to New York by
the French liner.

NINE. SEMBRICH
IS MUCH BETTER
Physician Denies Singer Is Ill
with Pleuro.PneumOnia.

Something like CONSERVATION was
created among the friends and admirers
Of Nine. Sembrich by the exaggerated
reports of her illness printed in the
newspapers yesterday.
The fact Of her sickness OF severa!
weeks duration had been made known
in connection with her enforced with
drawal from the work Of the Polish Re-
lief Fund Committee. 10 which she has
devoted nearly all her time and energy
since she called il into existence, near
lv a wear ago, and no secret was made
of the seriousness OF her condition.
Last summer she WAS greatly troubled
with neuritis. Bronchitis supervened,
and when DR.. Wiener, her physician,
called in Drs. Evans and Lambert IN
consultation, a week or ten days ago,
the case was diagnosed as bronchial,
with signs OF pleuritic adhesions.
A peculiarly painful relapse on sun.
day led to the spread Of q report that
she was suffering from pleuro-pnsu-
monia; but the accuracy of the report
vas denied by DR.. Wiener as late as
lO:3O o'clock last night, when he said,
she had had a more comfortable day
than on Sunday.

M'CALL OUSTED
BY GOVERNOR
Continued from page !

here tonight is that Travis II. whitney,
secretary Of the commission. or Oliver
c. Semple, assistant counsel, Will get
the place.
Only Stock Charge Considered.
In making his decision the Gov
ernor took INTO consideration only one
of the twenty charges made by the
Thompson committee which as
serted that Mccall still owned the 3s1
shares Of the Kings County Electric
Light and Power Company while chair
man of the Public Service Commits
sion, although he alleged that he had
transferred them TO his wife.
The Governor reviews McCslps de-
fence in detail to the charge. and con-
tinues:
There is nothing before US which in
any way evidences the transfer of the
stock from the ownership of the Com
missioner to that of his wife except the
Commissioners unsupported statement,
and while ! have no desire 10 question
the truth of his statement that he in
tended to transfer the stock to his wife

made. IL would have been an easy mat

and clear, and there is no evidence any

U. 5. TO BLAME
FOR DELAY OVER
LUSITANIA CASE
Postponement Has Made
Settlement in Near Fut-
ure Impossible.
From Ire Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Dec. 6.--Blame for the
long delay over the Lusitania case 1t
was learned to-day, lies with the state
Department, instead Of with Germany
as had been supposed. The state De-
partment postponed a possible settle
ment for weeks at time when condl-
tions were most favorable for this coun-
trv's rests-immediately after the
"diplomatic victory" in the Arabic case
and despite the fact that Germany
had resumed the discussion broken on
when the Arabic was sunk. The impos-
sibility OF any further progress Whiie
the resentment over the Boy-Ed case
remains unsettled is admitted
The State Department received lIoin
the German government on OctoDer -
as nesrlv as can be ascertsined, mem
orandum setting forth the terms on
ubicb Berlin was willing TO concluae
The negotiations concerning submarine
warfare on merchant shipping. For
some reason, as yet unexplained, the
communication was held without re-
snonse until November II, when Am
bassador Won Bernstorff called TO con-
fer with Secretary Lansing.
During that time responsible ohiciais
~ the depsrtment repeatedly author-
ized the statement that II was Ger
manv's move" in the LusitAnia contro-
versy. and caused the impression to be
circulated that either Ambassador Won
Bernstorff or his government was de-
LAYING the negotiations.
No statements concerning the Lusl-
tania have been officially authorized
since November II, but the status OF
the case, as revealed to-day, hnds the
state Department completely at odds
with Germany. The department mas
technically receded from its position,
as expressed in the note Of July Il, OF
demanding q disavowal Of the attack,
but insists that Germany acknowledge
the illegality of the act and submit to
the demand for indemnity without ar
bitration.
Germany is not ready to do either Of
these things. In German circies IL is
aid that but for the Boy-Ed-von
Papen affair the Lusltanla matter
might readily be concluded, but at the
State Department this Is regarded as
an eXaggeration.
The announcement which terminated
the Arabic controversy, that German
submarines had been instructed to make
no more attacks on passenger vessels,
should. Germany believes, be regarded
as a practical Gisavowal of the Lusi-
tania attack. A literal dissyOwal is de-
clared to be impossible, as the German
government has acknowledged its re-
sponsibility for the act Of the sub
marine.

MILITARY CAMP
FOR POLICEMEN
Commissioner Seeks
Large Tract of Land
on Staten Island.

Police Commissioner Arthur Woods
is seeking q large tract Of land or
Staten Island on which he plans TO es-
tsblish military camp for members
Of the department along the lines Of
the Plattsburg camp.
Impressed by his stay at the upstate
military camp last summer and the en-
thusiasm Of the policemen who at
tended, the commissioner decided that
course Of training for all the mem
bers Of the department would eliminate
the necessity of calling on the militia
or the establishing of martial la"
should New York be visited by catas-
trophe.
During the days following the San
Francisco earthquake and the Balti-
more fire, the police departments OF
those cities, unable to cope with the
situation, were compelled to call on
the state and nation for assistance. IL

Yesterday the Commissioner an
nounced a plan 70 further introduce
army methods in the department. lie
granted a leave of absence OF htteen
days to Captain Edward p. Hughes, OF
the Sheepshead Bay station, to permit
that Official to attend the United States
Cavalry School at Fort Meyer.
The Commissioner intends TO use the
army method Of handling horses in the
training of police horses. Eddie
Hughes has the reputation OF being
good horseman, and to take advantage
Of his knowledge the Commissioner
recently transferred him to the Sleeps
head Bay station. where in the future
the department horses VIII be framed
under his direction.
New Rule on Surgeons.
Acting on the recommendation con-
tanned in recent report made by Com
missioner of Accounts Wallstein, fol-
lowing an investigation into the pen
sion system. Commissioner Woods yes
terdav issued an order prohibiting de-
partment surgeons from offering tnelr
services to immediate relatives OF
policemen, directly or indirectly. Inc
order also prohibits surgeons from ac-
cepting fees or presents for treating
policemen or relatives.
Wallstein in his report stated that
he found that the practice Of police
surgeons in acting as physicians TO po-
licemen's families had a tendency TO
cause the surgeon to become friendly
with the member of the force, This,
Wallstein thought, would make the
surgeons reluctant to certify disability

misdemeanor TO transfer stock without

is true that he transferred this stock to

which he could be imprisoned for six
months.

require that the spirit as well as the
letter Of the law shall be faithfully
carried out; that il was clearly the in
tention Of the lawmakers that Public
Service Commissioner should have no
interest in the stocks or bonds Of

has jurisdiction for purposes Of regula-
tion. and even though there had been
an actual transfer by the Commissioner
