SHIPS ARE NEEDED
McAdOO Plans to Push Issue
Before Congress.
Secretary and Wife Spend Night
With Wilson.

Cornish, n. H, Aug. 3.-Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo. who arrived
at the summer capital late yesterday,
left there today with Mrs. McAdoo for
their summer home at North Haven,
Me-, after eighteen hours with Presi-
dent Wilson at Harlakenden house.
Before departing Mr.. McAdoo re-
iterated that his visit had been merely
1socfaf a7fd mat he had discussed no
son.
The secretary declared he was de-
voting much time to studying the
shipping question and that he con-
fidently expected it would be pushed
by the administration during the next
session of congress. He said that per-
sonally he favored the government
ownership plan presented during the
last session, but that he did not know
what the senate and house leaders
would decide upon.
THE Democratic party is pledged
to provide an adequate merchant
McAdoo, and, in my opinion, no time
should be lost in taking action. The
need for more ships under American n
registry is being shown more and
more every day"
Secretary McAdoo said he was also
studying the question of systematizing e
the operation of the government
finances and of providing a budget
system. and expected the subject
would be an important one during
the coming session of congress.
President Wilson remained at Har-
lakenden house this morning talking
with Mr.. and Mrs McAdoo After
their departure he worked on official
business

SECOND BIC DAY
Number of Suburban Shoppers
Larger Than on Monday.
Crowd Is Expected to Grow
Bigger Day by Day.

The Suburban Week crowds are
on the increase. Each day is expected
to see a larger throng of shoppers
from out of town.
Monday was by no means blue
Monday" for local merchants. 1.-The
heaviest midsummer Monday busi-
ness in the history of our store" was
merchants expressed it. Today Wis
itors arrived by every train, and a
large number of Topekans took ad-
vantage of the bargain offerings.
The bargain week popularity is
evidence of the value of advertising.
And this advertising, by the way, is
not merely hot air." Many of those
surprise because the prices are even
lower than anticipated.
1t will be well if prospective buyers
read carefully the advertisements ap-
pearing in the State Journal, as daily
bargain specials are being offered
by the leading merchants.
Not only are the shoppers pleased
with Suburban Week but local
merchants express themselves with
enthusiasm over the results attained.
The crowd doubtless would have been
even bigger today had the weather
been more favcra BILE. The threaten
ing clouds kept some of the prospec-
tive shoppers from other towns away.
Travelling men report that many
persons are planning to combine busi-
ness with pleasure in Topeka this
week-that is they will come here for
brief outing. They will shop and
take in the shows. Railroad fare is
refunded to those who purchase
goods according to the amount spent.
Hundreds of visitors are coming here
at the expense of the Topeka Rebate

not only Americas relations with
Great Britain, but also with Germany.
Britain's Flat Refusal.
Though it had not yet been made
public officially, it was known definite
ly that the British communication
fatty refused to recognize the right
claimed by the United States concern
ing shipping on the high seas.
The Anglo-American situation was
considerably less satisfactory than the
German-American situation, it was
conceded by men close to the admins
tratiOn.
Germany, they said, had not officially
acceded to Americas marine warfare
demands, but in actual practice she
has conformed to them. 1t was the
general opinion that this was only
pending the outcome of the Anglo
American negotiations.
Kaiser Guided by American Note.
If America takes a determined tone
toward the British, as she did toward
the Germans, the prediction was made
that a formal acquiescence from Ber-
lin may fairly be expected in Amer
lean requirements concerning subma-
rine warfare methods. At least, it was
stated, the kaiSerS undersea COM
manderS will be mindful of neutral
lives in actual practice as they have
been in the last two months.

LONDON CUDGELS TRADE
Demands Financial Settlement There
in Belgian Commerce.

Washington. Aug. S.-Financial set
tlement through London is one of the
conditions laid down by Great Britain
in reply to American efforts to secure
Belgian goods consigned to this coun-
try and now held at Rotterdam.
The state department had repre-
sented unOfficiaIy that no benefit
would accrue to Germany through
this trade, but Great Britain appar-
emily intends to see in each case that
the money paid by American i'm
porters goes to Belgians only. Bel
gian merchandise will be released
only when payment is made in Lon
don, Great Britain to forward the
money to the Belgian shippers direct
State department officials believe
that American importers cannot COM
ply with this condition, as in many
cases the goods held up at Rotterdam
already have been paid for. Further
negotiations will be undertaken to Sc
cure agreement as to this class of
ira fife.

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN

committee has received word that
Turks, after masSacring all the
males of the population in the re-
giOn of BitliS, Turkish Armenia, as
sembled 5000 women and children
and drove them to the banks of
the Tigris, where they shot them
and threw the bodies into the river.
The Armenian population of Gil
icia, in the Turkish vilayet of
Adana, also has been subject to
persecution, according to the re-
ports of the committee. More than
10000 persons already are dead
and it is feared that Armenians
at Moucke and Diarbekr in kurd-
estan also have been maSsacred.
Twenty members of the Armenian
social Democratic party Nj. Varaz-

The City Budget Is $1,000 Above the
Eight Mill Limit.

An eight mill levy for the city was
practically agreed upon at an informal
siUners Monday afternoon. Of this
four mills will be for the general
fund and a like amount for the spe-
cial funds.
Mayor House agreed to a cut in his
budget of approximately $500. New

Mines Will CLOSE
Men Are Cleaning Up Loose
Coal Before Walking Out.
Strike Follows Alleged Break
of Contract by Owners.

+ Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 3.-Opera-
tions at the Sheridan Coal company
mines and at mines operated by sub
sidiary companies continued today
while the 1900 miners, who have
been ordered out by the executive
board of the United Mine Work
ers of America of district No. IA,
were still engaged in cleaning up. No
shots were placed yesterday and no
powder was taken into the mines yes
terday or today.
1t is anticipated that the first mines
to be suspended as a result of the or
der of the board will be closed this
afternoon. Others will be closed to-
morrow while an additional day may
be required to clean up some of them.
No agreement has been reached and
the men are to bring out their tools
as soon as they have removed all the
loose coal.
The miners a1lege a violation of
contract.
An attempt to settle the differences
between miners and coal operators
here failed late Monday and last night
a strike order went into effect. The
walkout is expected to affect 1900
miners.
The dispute which led to the strike
arose over the refusal of one mine to
give work to miners of another mine
which had been closed down. the
miners claiming the mines were
owned by the same company while
the operators asserted the ownership
of the mines to be separate. Labor
officials claim a section of the con-
tract provides that men rendered idle
by the closing of a mine shall be
given employment in another mine of
the company if it is working.
The eleven mines affected by the
strike order are in the vicinity of
Mulberry and are owned by the Sheri-
dan Coal company and subsidiary
