BOARD Of TRADE
COMMITTEE HAS
MADE UP REPORT
RECOMMENDS ACTION FOR THE.
BOARD TO TAKE ON THE I'M
PORTANT QUESTION OF SHIP
SUBSIDY.

The special committee of the Board
of Trade, appointed to report to the
board on the matters relating to a re-
vival of American merchant marine
has made the following recommends
tions which will be submitted to an
early meeting of the Board of Trade
membership:
The committee opposes the pur-
chase, construction, or charter of YES
sells for mercantile purposes, together
with the operation of such vessels.
The committee opposes ownership
of merchant vessels by the govern
ment with operation by private par
ties under leases.
The committee favors subsidies
from the government sufficient to
offset the difference in cost between
operation of vessels under the Ameri-
can flag and operation in the same
deep-sea trades under foreign flags.
The committee favors subvention
from the government to establish reg
ular mail and freight lines under the
American flag to countries in which
the commercial interests of the United
States are important, and to Ameri-
can dependencies.
The committee favors the creation
of federal shipping board to inves-
tigate and report to congress regard
ing the navigation laws and to have
full jurisdiction, under the law, in all
matters pertaining to oversee trans
portatiOn.
The committee favors the govern
ment subscribing to the entire stock
of marine development company
with n capital of tG;rty million dol
lars, this company to have authority
for seven years to lend, under super
vision of the federal shipping board,
upon the security of first mortgages
on merchant vessels, taking as evil
dence of this Indebtedness bonds
which bear a fair rate of interest and
contain provisions for amorization
the development company to guaran-
tee the bonds as to principal and, in
terest and sell them to the public.
The committee recommends that
Jub OCedn-Iudll law Vi lloJl Dt hlutliu-
ed by lowering the speed for first
class steamers from 20 to 16 knots
and for second-class steamers from
16 to IL knots, and by making the
compensation adequate to permit the
establishment of lines of steamships
carrying both mail and freight
The committee opposes legislation
abolishing deferred rebates and pro-
viding for supervision of rates by the
federal shipping board, with require
ments for filing with the board sched-
ules of rates and all agreements
among overssa lines.
The committee recommends that
federal licenses should be taken cut
by lines, domestic and foreign, en-
gagged in shipping between ports of
the United States and other countries.

EXTRA SESSION
WILL Be CALLED
CUMMINS PREDICTS PRESIDENT
WILSON WILL CALL CON-
GRESS IN SEPTEMBER.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 3.-Sena-
tor Albert b. Cummins of Iowa, in a
statement made public today, pre-
dicted that President Wilson would
call special session of congress by
September.
81 do not believe the president will
care to assume entirely the cares and
responsibilities and problems of our
international relations. but that he
will be glad to divide the burden with
congress" said Senator Cummins.
THE policy pursued by the presi-
dent in our relations with Europe
during the war has my hearty ap-
proval, The people of the United
States do not want war and do not
intend that there shall be war But
they do intend that the rights of
neutral nations shall he observed and
if they are not. they believe measures
should be taken to make their pro-
test effective.
There are means of doing this
without going to war;

SECOND NOTE IS
BEING PREPARED
PRESIDENT WILL SEND 1T TO
GERMANY PROBABLY TODAY
OR TOMORROW.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-President
Wilson, following his conference
with Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, went ahead today
with the preparation of the Ameri-
can governments response to the
German governments reply to the
last American note concerning the
sinking of the Lusitania The com
munication Is being prepared by the
president himself and will go for
ward before the end of the week.
Interest in the conference was
heightened today as further details
were revealed. One important re-
suit, 1t can be stated upon high au-
thority is that there will be no
alteration in the administrations plan
to ascertain whether the German
government will abide by interna-
tional law or follow It's own rules of
maritime warfare.
The conference was cordial and Of
q friendly nature The intensity Of
feeling in the United States over the
Lusitania incident and other viola
tions of American rights on the high
seas was emphasized by the presi
dent. He also impressed upon the
ambassador that the United States
would insist that Germany adhere to
the accepted principles of interna-
tional law as they affect neutrals.
A feeling of hOpefulness pervaded
the German embassy, where the con-
ference was regarded as satisfactory.
The ambassador himself expressed
the belief that the communication
which he had sent to his government
would enlighten the German foreign
office accurately as to the American
governments viewpoint and pave the
way to better understanding.

WORK is PROGRESSING ON
ISLAND SEWERAGE SYSTEM
convicts viii Complete Their Work
Within Short Time and System
Will Soon Be Working.

Within a few more weeks the sew
erage system on St. Simon will be en-
tirely complete and the island will
have the very best sanitary conditions.
The work has been under way for the
past three or four weeks and rapid
headway has teen made. (,
The excavation work is being done
by the county convict gang under Su-
perintendent Higginbotham' and this
important feature of the work will be
completed shortly and the convict
gang will return to the city.
This improvement on st. Simon is
one that has been needed for long
time and the Glynn county commits
sioners deserve great credit for the
manner in which they took up the
work and are pushing 1t to completion.
One, and possibly the only, real draw
back to many cottagers on the island
has been the lack of sanitary condi-
tions, and this will now be remedied
in very short time.

CHANGE OF SERVICE

Board of Trade to Take Up Petition
Which Has Been Filled by

For the purpose of taking some ac
tion on the petition filed by the Geor
gia Coast and Piedmont railroad, ia
discontinue and make changes in their
present schedules in and out of
Brunswick, meeting has been called
for today at noon at the Board of
Trade rooms at the city hall. This
meeting is for the purpose of thor.
oughly discussing the petition and ar.
irving at some action. The following
notice, calling for the meeting, was
sent out yesterday by Secretary
Weatherly:
THE G. c. & p. railroad has re-
quested the Georgia railroad coplmis.
sion for permission to make some
very radical changes in it's passenger
schedules. Therefore | have called a

the Board of Trade is willing to per.
NIT the poposed changes to go into
effect.
The railroad commission of Geor.
gla will hear arguments relating to
this question, Tuesday, June 8, in At.
lanta. 1t is therefore important that
the attitude of the Board of Trade be

on federal legislation, also delivered a
very interesting report.
Some interest is being manifested
in the election of officers today. 1t
seems to be generally understood that
George w. Owens of Savannah, now
first vice president, will be elected to
the presidency. and that Orville A.
Park, the very efficient secretary will
again be elected to that position.
Great regret was expressed on all
sides yesterday when it was stated
that General p w. Meldrim of Savan-
nah, president of the American Bar
association, was not present. A tel
egram received during the day, how
ever, stated that General Meldrim,
who has just delivered an address be-
fore the Arkansas Bar association,
would reach the island today.
A telegram was received yesterday
morning from the members of the SUI
preme court of Georgia, announcing
that it was with great regret that the
members of the tribunal would be un-
able to attend the meeting on account
of the laborious work of that body just
at present.
Probably never before in the history
of the association has political talk
been SO conspicuous cor its absence.
Instead of discussing state politics,
framing up political deals, ETC., usually
a side issue at these convention, the
Georgia lawyers, while not in session,
have engaged in discussion of the
great international questions now con-
fronting the country, and on all sides
the greatest confidence is expressed
in President Wilson and his admin
istration.

OFFICIALS At
CAPITAL SEEM
ANXIOUS OVER It
United States Will Make Every
Effort to Unite Warning
Factions.
DRASTIC ACTION TO FOLLOW
In the Event Efforts of the Pres
ident Fail-lntervening in the
Republic Is Now Being Con-
sidered.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-How Pres
ident Wilson's demand on the leaders
of the various military factions in
Mexico for prompt restoration of
peace in the revOlution-torn southern
republic is being received by them
was awaited today with intense inter-
est in official and diplomatic quarters.
The presidents statement, which
was sent to Generals CarranZa, Villa,
Zapata and others, publicly called up
on them to settle their differences
quickly and establish government
which the United States can recog-
nize. Foreign diplomats here express
ed approval of the presidents course.
The communication was interpreted
by officials, diplomats and MexicaSns
here to mean that the United States
would bring pressure to bear first to
unite the factions in the choice of a
PROVISIONAL president. Failing in that
the United States would accord its
active support to the elements that
did agree. Possibility of ultimate in
tervention was considered. That would
result, however, only in the vent of
a reikgn of anarchy which the Mexi-
cans themselves were unable to rem
edy.
Speculation continued today as to
what the American government meant
by lending its active moral support to
some man or group of men, if such
may be found, in an effort to ignore,
if they cannot unite, the warning fac
tions of the country.
The official explanation was that
the United States heretofore had
maintained neutrality as, between the
factions, but now was preparing to
choose between them or to give its
support to those elements in the ex-
isting factions which gave most
promise of success. The United
States would aid the chosen elements
by issuing an embargo on arms pre-
venting the shipment of war muni-
tions and cutting off other means
of support to the factions which ig-
nored the demand for peace

Held over Seventy Days.

LONDON, June 3.-~After a siege of
three weeks the fortress of PrZemysl,
in Galicia, has fallen to the Austrians.
The Russians were in possession lit
tie over seventy days.
This news was received in London
with IA certain degree of surprise. 1t
had been known that the Russian po-
sition at PrZemysl was serious, but
capitulation was not expected so quick
ly. particularly in view of Petrograd's
official announcement last Monday
that the Austro-German grip on Prem
ysl had been broken and that the
offensive in the great Galician strug-
gle had passed to the Russians.
The Austrians entered Przemysl at
half past three o'clock this morning
after a hammering with heavy guns
that lasted more than twenty days.
The capitulation must be ascribed to
the effectiveness of this artillery on
siaugiIt. Occupation; o? the fortress
by the Austrians will remove the dan
ger of the Russian threat against Cra-
COW.
Austrian garrison at Przemysl ten
weeks ago they did ii slowly and sys.
tematically, conserving the lives of
their men. The Austro-German vic
tory today was the result of exactly
opposite tactics. The besiegers' ex-
penditure In ammunition and men
has perhaps outdone anything in this
hn o..
lais and the terrible struggles along
the User.
Another feature of the fighting in
the east is the new attack on War
saw. Neither Petrograd nor London
knows whether the renewed battering
OF the Russian lines between the Pill
lea and the Vistula is a serious effort
to break through to the Polish cap
ital. or only move timed to prevent
the Russians from rushing reinforce
ments to their hard-pressed troops in
Galicia. Whatever the motive the as
sault has been violent along a front
of rs miles, hardest pressure being
brought to bear on the Russians
along the Bzura and. the Rawka rivers.
The new government meets prelim-
mary for the first time today. Aside
from the formalty of passing the bill
to obviate the ministers in the new
cabinet from seeking reelection, chief
interest centers in the promised
speech of Premier Asquith in the
house of commons on the new coali-
tion government and the entry of
Italy into the war

of Russian Threat Made
Against Cracow,

VIENNA (via London), June 3.
Przemysl is again in Austrian hands,
according to official announcement
made here today.
The great Austrian fortress of
Przemysl, situated between Lemburg
and Cracow in the province of Cali
cia, was captured by the Russians
March % last after one of the longest
sieges of modern warfare.
Since then the Austrians and Ger
mans have made a vigorous effort to
retake 1t, large forces for the drive
eastward being diverted from the
great fortress to the west, Cracow.
Recent dispatches have said the
Austro-German troops were successful
in their operations to the north and
the southeast of Przemysl, and that
the forts girdlng the position had
been taken.
When Przemysl fell into the hands
of the Russians, it had un(ergone a
siege of POI days. The Austrian gar
risons originally consisted Of 10000
men, of whom 10000 wer killed. About
10000 Austrians surrendered with
the fortress.
