Both Senator Penrose and Congress-

for this city pointed out the necessity
for early action toward securing a suit

not select Philadelphia, they said, unless
a suitable hall and a fund suflcient TO

PARLIAMENT HEARS
OF CABINET SQUABBLE
Premier Asquith Refuses to Say
If He Supports Lloyd
George.

LONDON, July 1.-THE squabble be.
tween Lord Haldane and David Lloyd
George. the Minister of Munitions, found
its way into Parliament today. Premier
Asquith was interpolated in the House
OF Commons as to whether he agreed
with Mr.. Lloyd-George's criticism OF
Lord Haldane. but the Premier refused
to make any statement.
The British political situation has de-
yeloped into scandal as result OF the
intrigues both in and out of the Gov
ernment. It is charged by some OF the
newspapers that Lord Northcliffe ia
working for the downfall OF Lord Kitch
ener, the Secretary Of State for war and
Foreign Minister Grey.
Lord Haldane's political enemies are
critlcising him for his well-known admir-
alton for the Germans before the war be-
gan. II was this criticism that led to
Lord Haldane's retirement from the post
of Lord High Chancellor in the Cabinet

By CARL W. AcKERMAN


BERLIN, July IL
Germany is willing to make further
concessions to safeguard American trav.
eIers in the war zone" tho Foreign OF
nee informed me today. She will not
4abandon her submarine policy. but she
win consent to placing several great
( German liners under the American flag
for the remainder OF the war in addition
20 granting immunity from submarine
attacks to four English liners. as pro-
posed In her latest note to Washington.
The suggestion made WAS that the big
EamburE-American liners 1mperator and
Kaiserln Auguste Victoria and the North
German Lloyd liner George Washington
be placed at the disposal OF the Amsri-
can Government for transporting neutrals
Through tho zone Of submarine opera
tions.
cot course, you understand this matter
would rest with the ships owners" said
Under Foreign Secretary Zimmerman.
but Germany would be willing to place
at service OF American travellers here
the largest liners II the American Gov
ernuaent cares to suggest It. II America
desires to place them under the Amer1-
can flag. we shall certainly agree"
NEUTRAL CREWS.
Germany, II was intimated at the For
eign once. is willing to turn over these
interned passenger ships without finan-
cial gain and with neutral crews, from
the captain down. The chief reason that
Americans desire TO travel aboard Eng
ilish liners, It was pointed out. probably
.is because better accommodations can be
secured In the majority Of cases. Should
the German liners be operated under the
American nag neutral passengers could
travel aboard fast, luxurious ships in the
knowledge that they were safe from sub-
marine attack Furthermore. II was
pointed out, the sailing schedules would
not be interrupted, as has been the case
with English liners, because the ships
were commandeered by the Government
for use ss transports.
In oficial circles here regret was ex-
pressed today that the English transla-
tion OF the German reply does not exactly
Interpret the spirit of the German text.
The general opinion was that the German
original was more friendly in tone than |
the translation sent to America Under |
Secretary Zimmerman commented par
dcularly on the translation OF that SEN
.ance which In the English version was |
made TO read as follows:
THE Imperial Government cherlshes
he definite hope that some way will be
'ound. when peace is concluded, or per-
,aps earlier, to regulate the law of mari |
lime war in a manner guaranteeing the |
freedom of the seas, and will welcome IL |
with gratitude and satisfaction, II It can |
work hand In hand with the American |
Government on that OCCASION"
