DECLARE EASTLAND
NOT OVERLOADED

The Eastland was not overloa ded
when it toppled over in the Chicago
river. carrying more than a thousand
people todeath, according to reports re-
ceived today at the Department Of
Commerce from inspectors Of the two
supervising steamboat districts in the
Great Lakes in which the steamship
was licensed to carry passengers.
The capacity of the Eastland was
certified at $780, and Federal inspec-
tors confined the load on the boat on
the day of the catastrophe to that fig-
ure," the report to the Department Of
Commerce reads.
The statement explains that the
boats certifcation was increased to
$500 shortly before the tragedy. A
history OF the capacity Of the steam
boat from the time Of its launching in
1907 until its sinking is given in the
rs0ort.
The statement declares the boat made
hundreds of trps with upward OF 5000
passengers: that its capacity in 1904
was certified at $500 out Of Chicago.
but that for comfort this capacity was
reduced to $500.
In 1908 a further reduction was made
to 2,400, and when the removal of
lightweight staterooms was made, an
increase Of 100 passengers was per-
mitted.

WILSON IS PRAISED.
BY LONDON PRESS
Struck Blow For Peace and
Won Big Diplomatic Victory
!. From Germany. Says News.

LONDON. Aug. 2s.-President Wilson
not only has struck a great blow for
peace, but has won a diplomatic VIC
tory of historic importance in induc-
ing Germanw to modify her submarine
methods, the Daily News declared in a
striking editorial today.
Both the News and the Standard ac-
cepted the view that Germany is sim
cere in her latest representations to
Washington and intends not only to
disavow the Arabic attack but to prom
Use that no more passenger-carrying
ships will be torpedoed.
1T is not. Of course, a great achieve
ment In itself for a powerful govern
ment. to extract from a still nominally
friendly people an assurance that they
will not murder any more of it's sub
jerts," said the News. but it is a
considerable feat to have broken at
least the brutal self sufficiency which
1t IL claimed in Germany can be the
only law by which the action Of the
government and the people could be
guided.
SUPPOSE that Mr.. Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg sanctioned this attack upon the
Arabic or desired to acerbate the rela-
tions with America. The sinking Of the
Arabic may be assumed to have been
the malignant trick OF his opponents,
the Tirpitzites, planned as much to en-
barrass him as to drive America to ac-
ton"
The News said that possibly the sub
marine which sank the Arabic was later
sunk by British warships. and that for
this reason 1t is easy for Germany to
disavow the act Of the U-boat COM
mander

MOVE BY CARRANzA
BELIEVED Imminent
First Chief May Challenge Pan.
American Conference and
Force u. S. Hand.

On the eve OF Carranza's "evacua-
ton" Of Vera Cruz az his capital and
his occupancy of Mexico City as the
scat Of the constitutionalist govern
ment, It is believed "show down. In
the Mexican situation il imminent.
For weeks the possibility Of chal-
lenge to the Pan-American conference
by Carrsnza from his Mexico City
stronghold has been regarded as pos
sible, and with CarranLa practically
driven against the wall and his claims
to the Presidency Of Mexico ignored.
the situation 10 believed to hold any
possibility.
May Challenge Conference.
State Department officials have inti-
mated that Carranza's request that the
Pan American diplomats indicate
whether or not they acted with au-
thority OF their governments. probably
will be ignored. A message may be sent
to Consul Silliman. at Vera Cruz. ask
, ing him to call Carranza's attention to
the fact that the official titles of the
diplomats were affixed to the appeal.
but even this is regarded as unlikely.
Carranza, it is believed. regards his
case as already lost in the Pan-Ameri-
can court. He understands, officials de-
clare, that he will not receive the lions
share Of representation in the new Mex
lean government, and realizing that his
present attitude will avail little. 1t Is
believed here that he might challenge
the Pan-Amer.can conference to inter-
fere in Mexico at the cost Of con-
| flict with Carranza authority.
Embargo a Potent Weapon.
In this event. 1t IL pointed out. the
| Administration would have two potent
weapons. 1t would be a fairly easy
matter to cut off Carranza's arms sup
ply from the United States and from
| Central and South American countries
and to recognize the choice Of the
other faction leaders in Mexico and
| accord them sufficient active moral
! support to enable them to eliminate
! the first chief" without the United
States engaging directly in the elm
ination process.

States will withhold the sending Of the
new protest to Great Britain.
According to information received to-
day. Count Won Bernetorff, In his con-
versation with Mr Lansing, and with
respect to the still unsettled Lusitania
case. declared that Germany. while
willing to acknowledge that she had
made a mistake in attacking the Lusi-
tsnia to the extent of making full
reparation, 10 unwilling to disavow the
act in view Of her belief that the vessel
was armed.
U. 8. May Accept.
This. It IL understood, the United
States will be willing to accept, pro-
vidcd. in the settlement OF the Arabic
case. Germany makes disavowal and
gives assurances that her submarine
warfare will hereafter be conducted
strictly on the lines of civilized rules.
