u. S. Commerce Chamber
Not Against Ship Bill,
Says Secretary McAdoo

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo has
issued a statement in whioh he contends
the referendum vote by the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States oppos-
ing Government purchase Of steamship
lines is not to be construed as opposing
the ship purchase bill, defeated In the
last Congress.
The propositions upon which the men,
bers of the national chamber were
asked to vote did not. he said represent
the ship purchase bill. which provided
for the Government taking stock in q
private corporation. Secretary McAdoo
said there Is a wide difference between
the Government as a government hold
ing and Operating ships and the Gov
ernment becoming a stockholder In a
private corporation which Is to own and
operate the ships"
He expressed rsegret that the referen-
dunn was so prepared that no vote was
taken on the ship purchase bill.

cause the provisions of the seamcn's &C,
are so drastic that its provisions cannot

Furuseth also doubted the Dollar I'm,
steamers would be placed under foreign

Dollar steamers were under foreign
flags before the war compelled the
adoption Of the American flag.
The continual attacks on the seamen'i
law is helping foreign ship owners t
keep the American flag off the ocean,
Furuseth added. Foreign ship owners

washington, Dec, 1S.--A rift In
diplomatic clouds shadowing Aus
trian-American affairs as a result Of
the Ancona torpedoing, was apparent
today.
Both sides to the controversy
showed signs of granting concessions.
Officials here were more optimistic.
A new note to Austria. In unmis-
takably firm terms, is In preparation
and Is slated to go forward at an ear
" moment. In 1t the administration
win give some details OF Its Ancona
evidence-Austria asked this--and
will outline the principles OF tne
I.usitania settlement with Austria's
ally. Germany. These concessions
however, will not permit Of further
temporizing on Austria's part, ana
they will be accompanied by an ui-
timatum demanding immediate COM
pliance with Americas original de-
mands. The American rejoinder VIII
be finally determined at a conference
between President Wilson and Secre-
tary OF State Lansing.
Inasmuch as the president Is leay-
ing tonight on his honeymoon. the
situation will be in Lansing's hands.
though in event OF necessity the sec
retary of state naturally will confer
with the president.
From Teutonic sources came indi-
cations today that Austria does not
want a break II it can be avoided.
Moreover, the fact that the admins
tration intends giving some conces-
sions, in the way OF information. al
leyiated the tension materially.
Examination OF an immense
amount OF documents is necessary In
order that the rejoinder may partly
meet Austria's request for further in
formation. To get this, Secretary
Lansing, Counsellor Polk and Assist
ant Solicitor Woolsey worked late.
To prevent further procrastination,
and to meet the Austrian contention
that she has not been Officially" in
formed of settlement Of the German
submarine controversy, the rejoinder
will include summary Of that.
