PLAN TRADE CAMPAIGN
Will Invade World Markets With
Products Immediately After
Close of War.

Another report on the plans of Ger
recapture export markets closed to
them by the European war was re-
ceived today from the American AS
ISOLATION Of Trade and Commerce in
Berlin by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce.
The report says that German export
ers are already preparing for an in
vasion of the world markets with their
products Immediately after the close
OF the war. The allied powers have
made use of every possible measure to
cut on German commerce abroad. and
In many instances British. French and
American merchants have made ex-
traordinary efforts to secure markets
which heretofore have been held by
Germany. After discussing present
export conditions in Germany, the re-
port says:
Acknowledge Obstacles Ahead.
The future of German exports can
not be easily judged at the present
time. The opinion prevails. however
that after the lapse of certain period
perhaps several years, the export trade
Will again assume the condition 1t was
In prior to the war; that is, the German
exporter will be able to re-establish
his old foreign connections. 1t Is ac-
knowledged. however, that in the
meantime the. export trade will have a
hard time removing obstacles and DIFF
1culties which have been placed in its
way by foreign competitors.
I'm calculating as to the exporting
possibilities after the war a distinction
should be made between products upon
which foreign countries must depend
to certain extent, such as dyestuffs
and potash. and products which can be
sources.

YARD MECHANICS
POSTPONE ACTION.
Executive Committee of international
Body Puts Off Meeting at Wash
ingfon

Final action looking toward i gen
eral strike of organized mechanics in
the Washington navy yard was post
poned yesterday by the executive com
mittee of Columbia Lodge
The action was taken pending the
outcome of direct negotiations with
President Wilson, preparations for
now under way.
The most specific proceeding taken
yesterday by Tie executive committee
was the putting off of a mass meeting
OF the yard mechanics. which mad
been planned for last highland when
the walk-out vas tn have been con-
sidered
The machinists had determined upon
the meeting when il was learned the
conference with the President might
be delayed from three to four weeks
because of his plans for a prolonged
stay in Cornish. n. H.

tive committee yesterday held out for

THE MYSTERY DEEPENS
MORE FACTS UNCOVERED.
Fire On the Superdreadnaught Was
More Serious Than Officially Re-
ported.

Additional facts concerning the mys-
terious fire on the uperdreadnaught
Oklahoma onMonday night week ago
at the New York Shipbuilding Com
pany's plant, in Camden, n j.. were
uncovered yesterday, despite the care
with which al details of the blaze were
suppressed by the company and the
Navy officials.
The damage to the oklahoma was
caused, not by slowly burning cork,
as had been announced, but by fercely
blazing oil The fixture in forward
turet No 2. to which the blaze was
confined, were melted into fantastic
and unrecognizable shape s. Deck
plates were buckled and bent. and the
entire frame work of the turret so
damaged that ii will have to be re-
placed completely,
An investigation Immediately after
the turret was emptied of the water
pumped in to smother the blaze show
cd that Joint in M ail-feed pipe
which ran through the turret had been
unscrewe1 with evident dcliheration
so that thin flow of oil gradually sat
urated the cork lining OF the turret
and lay in puddles on the floor, max
ing a roaring furnace Of the enclosure
once the fire started.
That the blaze may have been start
ed by an employees of the yard is the
belief of officials who examined the
turret. and pending the completion of
an investigation night work on the
battleship was suspended Immediately
after the blazs, lest any further de-
struction be done.
Several hundred foreign employees
of the yard, most of them Austrians,
who had been employed on the night
shift of the yard. were transferred to
day work by the company.

NORFOLK MAYNARD
FEVERISHLY ACTIVE.
Making 5000 Mines On Rush Order;
Hastily Recruiting for Service in
Navy.

Whether Uncle Sam is preparing

the American public that he is ready
for a scrap at any time may or may
not be.
One thing is certain, however. the
navy IS showing more activity at this
time than al any other time since tn :
Spanish American war. One of the
most significant features of Lnts setiv-
ity is the haste in making number Of
mines. to be planted, if necessary in
Hampton Roads and aroand tie en-
trance to New York harbor.
The Norfolk (Va.) navy yard is the
scene of this aetiyitY. An order came
from the Department some time ago
TO make three thousand mines as soon
as possible Work has ben going or
for several weeks.
Twelve hundred mines are all ready
to be planted or set feat. as the case
may be- The cruiser Baltimore, which
has been converted into mine plant
ing and mine-testins ship. will leave
shortly for Newport to conduct fur
ther experiments with the newly made
mines. In these tests a specially train
cd crew viii plant mines a. the bottom
of the bay ard explode them Tney
will also engage in mine-sweepicg ma

tom and destroy them-as l. clearing
the way for the entrance Of American
warships into a hostile harbor
Further proof OF the Nayy's activity
IS shown in the haste in preparing
Young recruits for service. Il usually
requires about six months training on
shore before an APPRENTICE seaman is
ready to be sent to sea on a hattleship
Even after these six months many re-
cruits are Kept on shCre--because
there is no need for them on ships
Recruits are now made ready fer sea
in a much shorter time.

NATION RUNNING BEHIND
$5,OOO,OOO A WEEK.
Balance in the United States Treasury
is Being Reduced at Rapid Rate.

Attention is being directed again to
the condition of the United States
treasury. The Governments receipts
as compared with its expenditures
have not improved since the beginning
OF the new fiscal year. Jdly !, and il is
becoming apparent that something
will have to be done within few
months TO meet the situation unless
matters improve.
The Treasury started the new fiscal
year with net balance in the treas
ury of about sS3,000,0 600 The three
weeks of the new fiscal year have re.
duced this to about 5000, 900. In
other words, the Government has been
running behind at the rate of about
$5,O00,O00 a week If the excess of
expenditures over receipts should con-
tinue at this ratio it would take only
about fourteen weeks, three and a half
months, 10 exhaust The present bal
ance in the Treasury.
Many believe, therefore. that unless
some unexpected change occurs tho
administration will be Obliged to act
on this matter by the middle of Octo-
Der. The relief might take the form
OF a bond issue or the President might
call Congress in session to enact fur
ther revenue legislation.
Many are inclined to believe that the
later course will be adopted, as the
present war revenue tax expires Jan
uary l. For the President to wait an
III the regular session in December to
take this matter up would, il is CON
tended, be running a risk which might
embarrass the government in event n
serious fight against legislation of
this character.

SPECIAL SESSION DISCUSSED.
Wilson Considers the Question Of Con.
vening Congress.

A special session ofCongress in ooto-
Der to consider among other things
the question CT national defense. is
being discussed by the Administra-
tion's advisers.
So far as can be learned the Pres
ident has not reached any conclusion
in the matter The impression has
prevailed for some time that special
session would be held in the fail to
pass laws increasing the revenues of
the Government. Treasury conditions
point to the necessity OF such legisla-
tion by Congress.
If a special session is held Congress
probably vii be asked also to give con
sideration to plans for national pre-
paredness. II is known that the re-
ports of Secretary Garrison and Sec
retary Daniels will be ready for the
consideration OF the President soon
after his return to Washington.

REPORT ON MIDDIES
FAVORS EXPULSION.
Original Seven Defendants and Others
to Go, it is Learned.

The report Of the court Of inquiry
which investigated the situation at the
NavaLAcademy growing out of the rec
concentrations for dismissal of seven
midshipmen on the ground Of crib
bing examination papers was received
at the Navy Department yesterday.
IL is a document of five thousand
pages and is in the hands OF the Judge
Advocate General for review and rec
omendation TO Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
There Is good reason 10 believe that
the court finds in favor of the dismiss
sal of the seven original defendants
and several others subsequently in
volved in the charges of having had
guilty advance knowledge of the Span
ish examination papers and of hav-
ing made secret visits to the building
from which papers and records were
said 20 have been stolen
The court was presided over by Capt
Robert Russell ex-Judge Advocate
General Of the navy and row comman
der of the battleship South Carolina
Its proceedings lasted nearly two
months during which hu1dreds OF
Witnesses We're examined and the con
ditlons at the Naval Academy as re-
garda examinations were gone into
thoroughly by the court
II is known that members of the
court became convinced that the prac
tices disclosed by the inquiry were
most reprehensible and that those in
yolved in them should be speedily re-
moved from the naval service.
II is understood also that some mem
bers of thee ourt felt that the Acad-
emy authorities should have taSen
greater precautions to make it possi-
bile for midshipmen to get secret ex-
animation papers and the Offices Of in
structors.

We do not know the pain you bore.
We did not see you die,
But only know you slipped away,
Without bidding Us goodbye.

ELECTRIC DRIVES.
Troublesome Problem for Battleship--.
Authorized by Naval Appropriation
Bill.

One OF the most troublesome prob
lens that is being discussed in the
Navy Department is whether the bat
tleships authorized by the last Naval
Appropriation bill should be equipped
with electric drives like that in the
California
The electric drive in the Jupiter has
proved to be a success in every re-
spect. according to a report received al
the Department There still remains.
however. the question as to whether
this equipment is desirable for battle
ships, and this cannot be settled until
the California is put into commission.
1t will be three years before she viii
be ready for such a test, ard the adj
vocates Of the electric drive are in
sisting that it would be unwise TO-
wait until the California is in service
The contention is made that the Ju-
piter is proving the superiority Of the
electric drive and that the Department
should not wait While admitting that
the Jupiter's electric drive is sue
cess, some of the more conse- -vative
officers argue that it would not be safe
to equip all of the new battleships
with the system until the California
has thoroughly tested it as a part Of a
battleship's machinery
II would prove very expensive ex-
pertinent if it should not be a success
in large warships if the Department
had equipped all thes hips built for
three years with it. The new battle
ship will be equipped with turbine en-
gines. and on this account the use OF
the electric drive is Deing urged.
