GERMANY READY TO HEAR
CLAIMS FOR SEIZURES
State Department Issues Circula,
Telling How to File Papers
for Inquiry.

Americans who desire to present
against Germany claims growing out OF
its requisition of property in Belgium

structed how to proceed in a circular

Millions of dollars worth of property
are understood to be affected.
The United States has been officiall,

The rules of procedure require that

will be considered only when accom-

Numerous claims have already beer
presented and pressed for action by the
department. They include a variety OF
articles of considerable value, but of
luxurious character, seized by the Ger.
mans in Belgium on the pretext OF
being needed for the army of occupa-

L0NSDALE STILL LIVES:
UNDER 15-YEAR SENTENCE
Death Sentence for British Soldier
Held in German Prison
Not Carried Out.

LEEDS. England. July 20.-A letter
received here from Private William
Lonsdale, who is a prisoner of war in
Germany, says that he is in good
health and that he is undergoing a
sentence of fifteen years in prison. The
last previous news received concern
ing Lonsdale was that a sentence of
twenty years Imprisonment. which had
been imposed on him, had been revised
and the death penalty substituted
The case of Lonsdale early in the
year attracted considerable attention.
He was condemned by court-martial
for an attack on guard at the
Doberitz prison camp and sentenced to
death. The lord mayor of Leeds,
Lonsdale's native town, appealed to the
American minister at The Hague to
urge that Lonsdale be not put to death
and both the minister and the Ameri-
can ambassador to Germany took an
interest in the case and sought to have
the death sentence committed. In Feb
ruary 1t was announced that the SEN
tence had been changed to twenty
years Imprisonment. but in April it
was stated that the supreme military
court had confirmed the death sentence.

Wiped Out All Profits.

The effect of the seamen's law upon
American shipping is exemplif1ed by
the prospective elimination of the
Pacific Mail steamship lines. according
to Lewis ]. Spence, the director of
traffic Of the Southern Pacific Company
These are among the finest vessels on
the Pacific,
Certified public accountants have
recorded their finding that the require
ments of the seamen's law will increase
the cost of operation of the Pacific Mail
service, in wages and feeding of crews
alone. more than 100000 per annum.
which is considerably more than the
company has earned in excess of its
fixed charges and cost of operation in
any recent year" Mr.. Spence goes on.
1T does not require any stretch of the
imagination to realize that the service
cannot be prof1tabIy operated after this
statute becomes effective, November 4,
1915"
In accord with each of the autbori-
ties quoted above. F. c. Munson. vice
president of the Munson steamship
line. concludes that the seamens act
will undoubtedly have a rejudicial ef-

that the German government has taken

CHARGES ARE BROUGHT
AGAINST DR.. CLAYTON
S. A. r, Asks President to Dismiss
Commissioner of Education for
Defaming Flag.

| PORTLAND, Ore, July 20.-The subject
before the national convention Of the Sons
Of the American Revolution when 1t met
today was a resolution introduced yes
terday asking President Wilson to dis
miss DR.. P. P. Claxton. United States
commissioner of education. The resolu-
ton accuses DR.. Claxton Of making
unpatriotic utterances regarding the
American flag.
| DIR. Claxton, who is at Bellingham,
Wash, today said his language had
been misinterpreted, and that he never
in his life had made remark deroga-
tory of the American flag.
DR.. Claxton Makes Denial.
| BELLINGHAM, Wash, July 20-De-
NAL of the charge by Sons of the
American Revolution, in session at
Portland. Ore, that he had made re-
marks derogatory to the American flag
was made public here today by Dr. p
| p. Claxton. United States commissioner
| of education. A resolution introduced
/ in the convention yesterday asked
President Wilson to dismiss the COM
| missioner. DR.. Claxton. who is here
| lecturing, said:
H1'o vi Ola years deos III oosloiis
| delivered a lecture in which, among
other things, 1 said: In modern times
the flag must stand for larger things
than it did for the ancients. People are
| drawn from all corners of the earth to
| live together. They are born in one
place, live in another, travel much, and
| thus come nearer to the ideal universal
fatherhood of God and brotherhood of
man, and in this connection the flag in
| the broader sense must serve all.
1.-THE time has come when men do not
revere the flag alone for its material or
combination of colors, but for what it
symbolizes.'

May Have to Change Flag.

We placed under the American two
OF our British steamers shortly after
the bill allowing the placing of for
eisn tonnage under the American flag
was passed." says Mr.. Munson. but we
fear that If the seamen's law in its
present form is allowed to go into
force November 4. we shall be under
the necessity of changing the flag of
these steamers. much as we dislike to
do so, or else be forced to allow our
competitors to take away some of our
business"
Work is now progressing favorably
with a referendum which is to be
taken by the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States upon the question
whether or not the seamen's act should
be repealed. Before the subject is
placed before the members of the
chamber throughout the country a
committee will make report upon
the principles and facts which are
involved.

Vessel Owners Insist They

U. S. COMMERCE CHAMBER
is TAKING REFERENDUM
Opinions Agree That Added Burdens
Sound Knell of American
Merchant Marine.

In connection with referendum
which is to be taken by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States upon
the question whether or not the sea-
mems act should be repealed. the Ma
tons Business, the official publication
of the national chamber, has requested
a number of heads Of steamship COM
panies to state their point of view with
regard to the law.
Our laws and regulations must be
changed to correspond to those of for
eign nations with whom we come in
direct competition" says Capt. Robert
Dollar of the Robert Dollar Company,
whose ships are engaged in trade with
China and the Pacific generally. The
laws of Great Britain are prefera BILE,
as. under them, more than half of the
steam tonnage of the world is success
fully operated. Therefore. it is fair to
assume that the British regulations
regulations require twenty different
changes to make the operation of ships
correspond to that of the British.
For Constructive Legislation.
THE time has certainly arrived for
some constructive legislation. In the
last session of Congress sixteen bills
were introduced to restrict and restrain
the operation of ships and not single
bill to aid or assist US. We should
have, I believe, a commission of ship
ping men. not politicians. to draft these
laws and to advise Congress, thereby
preventing any future blunder like the
seamen's bill, the only result of which
is to drive the last American ship from
the ocean"
OF the same opinion was Eugene W.
Ong, assistant general counsel of the
United Fruit Company. He declares
the whole proposition respecting the
seamen's act boils down to this: IF
the American people desire higher
wages and special privileges for sea-
men on the high seas, some one will
have to.pay for them. If the law COM
pels all ships entering our ports to pay
higher wages, it means higher rates,
and the American farmer and manufac-
turer would have to stand the expense
If foreign ships escape the provisions
OF the law. as seems likely. and they
should be enforced only against Amer
lean ships. the law sounds the death
knen of the American merchant ma
rine"
