At the same time the imports of

AMERICAN VESSELS
Attorney General Gregory's Expect
ed Opinion Practically Null
lilies the Statute.

Attorney General Gregory is prepared
to transmit to President Wilson and
Secretary Redneld an opinion practical.
ly affirming the recent opinion of So.
licitor Thurman Of the Department OF
Commerce, that the La Toilette sea
mems law can be held to apply only
to American ships and to the vessels
of Russia. Italy and Greece, perhaps
The vessels Of all the other maritime
nations of the world are held to be ex-
empt from the operations of the law.
+: The result Of the opinion, which is
expected to be signed in a short time
practically will nullify the new sea-
mems law. inasmuch as it will put all
American vessels at a Gripping disad-
vantage in comparison with those of ri
walls.
President Wilson has been under
stood for some time to be greatly dis
appointed about the bill and to feel
that he was misinformed as to it's
probable effects. 1t is generally con-
cluded in administration circles that
the bill will have to be amended in a
vigorous manner because of it's penal
izing effect upon American vessels gen.
orally.
Reports from the Pacific coast are
that the largest of the transpacific
steamship lines will go out of business
altogether as result of the law.

. Vessels EXEMPT.

Under the expected opinion all for
eign vessels carrying passengers from
ports of the United States to other
ports, belonging to countries whose
inspection laws approximate those of
the United States and which have laws
that accord similar privileges of ex-
emption to vessels of this country, are
exempt from the operations of the new
law. H-Tr
Most of the large foreign countries
have navigation and steamboat in
spection laws almost similar to the
United States and have uniformly &C
corded to American vessels exemption
from operation under their laws, re-
speeding the certificates of inspectors
Of this country.-.it is said. So long as
these countries continue to accord priv
ileges to vessels of the United States
their own vessels will be exempted
from the new seamen's law.
If Russia, Italy and Greece should
amend their inspection laws before the
new seamen's law becomes operative
SO that their laws will conform to those
of the United States their vessels would
become exempt from compliance with
tho rules Of the La Toilette law.
The opinion does not touch upon
treaties or agreements with foreign
countries, it is understood, but Is based
wholly upon laws that conflict with the
La Toilette law.

the period from August l, 1914, when
the European war began, to the end of
April. 1915; while the aggregate for
the three-year period ending June 80.

OUR COAST ARTILLERY
NOW TO BE INCREASED
Full Strength Instead of Half Strength
in Peace Time Has Been
Determined.

Washington.-Th coast artillery
force on duty at the Pacific will be
increased to full strength of % COM
panies, or about 1000 men, it was stat
ed recently, the former policy of main
tanning the big crews at about half
strength in peace time having been
abandoned.
Fortifications of the canal zone are
rapidly nearing completion. Original
ly it was planned to man them with
IA companies, under the theory that it
was improbable that the defenses at
both ends of the waterway would be
attacked simultaneously, and the canal
and railroad made rapid shifting of
the forces to the danger point pos
sihle. Under the general readjustment
plans of the army full garrisons for
the canal defenses have been deter
mined upon, and it is considered GER
tain that a big increase in the coast
artillery corps will be asked for when
congress reassembles, as the doubling
of the canal force will materially re-
duce the forces in territorial United
States.
