There is another matter which seems
to me to be very intimately associated
with the question of national safety
and preparation for defense. That is
our policy toward the Philippines and
the people of Porto Rico. Our treat
ment of them and their attitude to-
ward us are manifestly of the first con-
sequence In the development of our
duties In the world and in getting
free hand to perform those duties. We

not omit to begin. 1t should take the
first steps, and should take them at
once. Our goods must not lie piled up
at our ports and stored upon side
tracks in freight cars wh@l are daily
needed on the roads, must not be left
without means of transport to any for
eign quarter We must not await the
permission Of foreign shipOwners and
foreign governments to send them
where we will.
With q view to meeting these press
ing necessities Of our commerce and
availing ourselves at the earliest posi-
BILE moment of the present unparalleled
opportunity of linking the two Ameri
cas- together in bonds of mutual inter-
est and service, an opportunity which
may never return again If we miss it
now. proposals will be made to the
present congress for the purchase or
construction of ships to be owned and
directed by the government similar to
those made to the last congress, but
modified in some essential particulars.
l recommend these proposals to you
for your prompt acceptance with the
more confidence because every month
that has elapsed since the former pro-
posals were made has made the ne
cessity for such action more and moro
manifestly imperative. That need was
then forcseen. 1t is now acutely felt
and everywhere realized by those for
whom trade is waiting. but who can
find no conveyance for their goods.
am not so much interested in the par
ticulars OF the program as am In
taking immediate advantage Of the
great opportunity which awaits US II
we will but act In this emergency. In
this matter. as in all others, a spirit OF
common counsel should prevail, and
out of it should come an early sou-
ton of this pressing problem.

STOUGH REVIVAL HERE
MAY NOT MATERIALTZE
Mass-meeting Last Night for
Purpose of Inviting Evangel-
ist Suddenly Postponed.

Evangelist Henry w. Slough, defendant
in the sensational damage suits brought
BY proniinent Hazleton residents and who,
It was thought would come to this city
next winter TO conduct revival among
churches in the extreme northwest sec
tlon OF Philadelphia. may not come at
that lime.
The mass-meeting arranged for last
night By the Religious Conditions COM
nhittee Of tine Tnterchurch Federation Of
the Twenty-hrst Ward and Vicinity,
which was TO have been held In the Lev
erington Presbyterian Church, Manayunk,
was Cancelled, and the Rev. William y.
Forney. president Of the federation said
that nothing could be announced as to the
future plans until the Rev Isaac Ward,
pastor Of tho Fourth Reformed Church,
Roxborough, returns from a trip outside
the city. Mr. Ward, who Is chairman OF
the committee which went to Reading
several times and urged Doctor Slough
to come TO Philadelphia, has been one OF
the strongest advocates OF the revival.
When announcement was made that
Doctor Slough would come, there was
s5ids dissatisfaction among a number OF
clArsynief and church members because
they believed the proposed campaign
would be too soon after the close Of
"Brly" Sundays campaign, while other
church leaders opposed 1t for other
reasons.
It is probable that upon the return to
the city of MIR Ward, another mass
meeting will be called at which a definite
decision will be reached as to whether
the majority OF the churches will stand
back of a Slough tabernacle campaign.

ARMENIAN SURVIVORS
HELD AS PRISONERS
BY GERMAN U-BOAT
Shell From Submersible
Cut Ropes as Crowded
Lifeboat Was Lowered.
Americans on Board De-
tanned as Prisoners.

CARDIFF. Wales, July 2.
Several members of the crew Of the tor
pedoed Leyland liner Armenian. among
them DR.. ]. S Viso, OF Richmond, Va,
were made prisoners by the German sub.
marine U-5 which sank the steamship,
according to survivors who are in
Cardiff. Those taken on board the U-3S
were picked up out Of the water after
n shell from the submarine had cut the
ropes of crowded lifeboat which was
being lowered. Instead of placing them
in another boat, however, the Germans
retained them
II Is declared that, while the Germans
showed consideration for the whites, they
acted harshly toward the Negroes Some
of the negro stock tenders who were
thrown into the water when the ropes of
the llfeboat were cut swan toward the
submarine. When they tried to Chamber
on board the German sailors kicked their
hands.
An exciting story is told by Ernest Tai
bot, a 15-year-old cabin boy and 1t has
all the thrills of a sea tale by Robert
Louis Stevenson.
THAT was my first trip" said ySung
Talbot. who was among the 81 persons
who left the Armenian in the first life

plunged into the water by German
she'll cutting the ropes.
THE boat was about half way down."
continued the cabin boy, when along
came a shell and clipped the ropes clean.
We all tumbled into the water and began
swimming around. l guess l must have
been in the water for an hour before

found to contain my brother. We were in
the llfeboat about u hours before being
picked up, but 1t wasn't so bad, for the
weather was clear and the water smooth.
We all got mighty thirsty"

Most OF the business the lieutenants
said In an interview today. is purely com
nierciai. Diplomatic correspondence and

Germany are handled by the Sayville sta

vste messages and commercial reports

GERMANY OPPOSED MOVE.
The Germans vigorously opposed the
taking over OF the station by the United
States They had Just successfully fought
on the French from taking the station
after long battle IN the courts The
French alleged that the Goldschmidt
Company had signed contracts surrend-
erins the station 70 them when expert
ments had been completed, After the
Germans had won the fight 10 keep their
station, the Governments move in taking
the station, instead OF establishing a mere
such as that at Sayville, was
a complete surprise.
The Government, however. is running
the station TO the entire satisfaction OF
the German company The messages are

ATHENS. July ..

ATHENS, July q
The Allies opened a fierce assault upon
the Turkish positions before Krithia
Wednesday morning. Eight warships' leo
by the superdreadnousht Queen Eliza
beth, are pounding the Turkish forts with
tho greatest crash OF metal since the at
tack upon Fort Kllid Bahr more than
three months ago Uneonhrmed reports
reached here last night that Krithia had
fallen.
Mitylene dispatches today reported the
losses on both sides in the last week OF
iphtlne at the Dardanelles to be the
heaviest OF the Galllpoli campaign. the
allied expedltlonary forces are reported to
have lost at least 1000 in killed, wounded
and missing. The Turkish casualties are
believed to have been much heavier.
All dispatches received here today
agreed that the struggle being wased
around Krithla is the greatest land bat
tie waged at the Dardanelles since the ex-
peditlonary forces we're put ashore. Cen
eral Hamilton has concentrated his
armies north Of sedd-ul- Bahr and is
sweeping the Turks back along the penin-
sula by successive short rushes.
Each charge is preceded by terrific bonn
bardment of the Turkish trenches by
Anglo French battleships standing inside
the strait and along the shore Of the
Gulf OF saros. The trench fighting is OF
the most desperate character. Turkish
and allied troops gripped in a hand-to-
hand combat on the sands.

thorities today.
with the foreigners in the Mexican
capital threatened by conditions Of famine
and anarchy graver than at any time
since the republic was thrown into
revolution. serious consideration was be-
ing given to new plans to forward the
required supplies.
Carransa officials and railroad officers
were quoted as promising to do all In their
power to get the shipment across the
break and through the zapatistas line into
the capital.
Consul shanklin and Red Cross Agent
O'Connor said Silliman, had gone on from
Pachuca to Mexico City to do what they
could toward relieving the situation.
The State Department also had before 1t
the question Of making representations to
General Carranza about alleged interfer-
ence by his officers with diplomatic mes
sages from Mexico City. The Brazilian
Minister in the Mexican capital sent out
report by courier that the cable authori-
ties there charged that representatives
of Carranza refused to let the messages
go through and the cable had not been
cut, as asserted by Carranza. II was
understood the hrst chief will be asked
to explain.
Secretary OF State Lansing and Presi-
dent Wilson, at Cornish, N. H. were
considering carefully the reports of the
Brazilian Minister telling of rloting and
lootlng in Mexico City and declaring the
situation was growing worse daily.
