Compromise Ship Bill
Enters House With Rule
To Hasten Its Passage

The compromise Administration
ship bill. given the approval OF the
President last night. was introduced
in the House today in conjunction
with a special rule to put the meas
ure through that body early next
week.
As per schedule, the compromise bill
and the rule was put in by Chairman
Padgett. Of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee. The rule proposes that the
House shalt pass a composite OF the
Weeks naval auxiliary bill now before
the Naval Affairs Committee and the
Gore ship bill substitute recently Of
fered in the Senate.
While Administration supporters
made their plans to take up the fght
in the House next week. the Senate
situation did not clarity and the
compromise ship bill is not assured OF
passage in that body.
Caucus IL Called.
House Democrats will caucus Mon
day night on the new Administration
measure. but majority members who
cannot support 1t may "bsolve them
selves from the caucus mandate.
AS told in an earlier edition OF The
Times, the compromise Administration
bill would operate as follows:
The measure passed by the House
with the Gore bill added. The Gore
bill provides for a shipping board and a
$40 100 OOJ corporation 10 purchase and
operate gorcrnment-owned ships. The
Administration makes confession that
the shipping board shall be dissolved
and the Gore bill 60 OF the statute
books within two years after the close
OF the European war.
As soon as the shipping board zoe:
out of ex ,stencc. the Government-own
ed vesseels heretofore operated by &
are TO be turned over to the Navy De.
partment. ornatically the provision,
OF the Weeks bill become operative
and the Navy Department may operate
Or lease these vessels. or use them a,
naval auxiliar!es. as the needs Of the
times may require.
Six Hours Debate.
1t Is provided. however. N this spe
cial rule. which embodies the com
promise BILL that If the Navy Depart
ment leases the vessels. the lease.
shall expire at any time the ships arc
needed for naval purposes.
The House proposes to allow only 81
hours debate on the compromise bill
! and II probably will reach the Senat,
| by Wednesday of next week. Th'
! chances there are against It. but th'
Administration supporters In passing
the measure through the House vii
| gain certain strategic advantage. and IL
addition give the President the salts

Fresh Attacks Hurled
On French in Argonne

PARIS. Geb. 13.-Severe fighting con-
tirhcs in the Argonne region where the
Germans have again been re-enforced.
Along the line between Fontaine Ma
dame and Maria Therese, the Germans
arc today continuing their violent as
saults in an endeavor to gain a foothold
in the French trenches. some of which
they have demolished with dynamite.
They are being repulsed. however. by
the French artillery and rapid-tirers.
The German losses In this operation. the
war office says. are very heavy.
There has been a renewal of the bom
hardment OF the German positions
along the heights Of the Meuse. and
where the French have made slight
gains in the heavily wooded territory
70 the west of the German position. In
1hc Vosges slow but certain gains are
conditions. II continues to snow heavily
and conditions are described as very
hlizzardy.' but the French infantry
is steadily pushing Its lines forward to-
ward the main highways running north
and south.
The German activity at La Bassee
has checked for the time being. but
because of the enormous number OF
troops that are massed here 1t Is be-
lieved tnat the enemy has merely halted
his operations while additional artillery
is being brought up.
rho bombardment of Soissons con-
tinues at long range, but the Germans
have seemingly abandoned. for the
present at least all thoughts of at
tempting to force the passage of the
Aisnc. In the north from Arras to the
sea the artillery duels continue, and
nearly every building along the line OF
conflict has been fiattened to the ground
hv the intensity of the shell fire.
PARlS, Feb. 13.-Thc Germans made
an attempt to demolish the military
donots al Verdun from the air. A
squadron of ten aeroplancs flew across
tn" fortress and dropped bombs. but.
according to the latest word received
here. did practically no damage.
The fighting in the north from La
Bassec to the sea Is increasing. The
Germans attacked the Belgian French
positions at Nieuport, but were re-
pulsed with heavy losses. They also
attempted to carry the French trenches
commanding the grand dune. but failed
there also. German artillery is now
shellng the French positions at Ypres
Tho French have succeeded In cx-
ploding two German mines in the re,
iicn Of C;rcncy. From the Disc tc

GAS COMPANY TO
ABOLISH DEPOSITS
CONTINUED from First Page.)

CONTINUED from First Page.)
This percentage Of deposits il rather
large when compared to several OF the
other large cities, but the reason for
this fact assigned by the officers OF the
company is that Washington has
large floating. or temporary population
In Brooklyn and New York the deposits
total over N.C0O0 in each city.
Committee Makes Investigation.
Confident that the public would be
brought more closely to the corpora
ton were this system Of deposits abol-
ished. President Howard S. Reesiie.
shortly after taking office. organized a
committee composed OF A. B. Kelly.
Z. NJ. Overacker. and w A. Morton,
heads OF departments in the company,
and directed them to make an investi-
CATION OF the manner in which the
question OF protecting the company's
interests where customers arc not prop
erty owners Is handled by the gas com
panics of other large cities. The COM
mittee communicated with companies in
Chicago, Baltimore. San Francisco, and
other cities. and Is now evolving from
the suggestions thus received q general
plan for eliminating deposits
Some progress toward the rcfunding
OF the deposits held by the company
has been made by crediting the deposit
On purchase made by customers Of gas
appliances which the company sells.
Mr.. Reeside has gone still further
with his campaign to build up closer
and more cordial relation between the
company and it's customers. A postal
card canvass is being made of Gus
toners. each being asked to make sug-
gestions which he believes would i'm
prove the service which is being fur
nished by the company
20 apolish in every instance the de-
posits, Mr.. Reeside and his associates
say would expose the company to large
losses. Under the system of collections
which the company pursues. a customer
receives service for practically two
months before payment Of his bill is
absolutely demanded
Would Face Loss.
There are frequent instances, the gas
manufacturers say. In which after re-
ceiring gas for this period, customers
! move withuot paying bills. Were there
| no security of any kind they point out
| these bills would be a total loss.
The deposits which are demanded
nave been generally s. or SO. accord
ing to the quantity of gas which the
customer consumed. Last year the COM
pany. with a view To saving some Of
the interest disbursement. reduced the
| amount of deposits asked for tenants of
| apartment houses.
| Already Mr. Rec side says the company
has received many communications from
| customers commenting the attempts to
reduce, or eliminate the deposits Ap-
| probation is expressed, he added, that
such step should have been taken tust
when the country was suffering a rather
general business depression.

GAME AND FISH LAWS

The open season for bass and pike
fishing is now in full swing and promises
to be the best we ever had. The ponds
and lakes of Delaware have been stock
ed with fish and many of them are noted
particularly among residents of some of
our neighboring States, ss furnishing
the best large-niouth black bass fishing
in the United States. This fish is not
native of our waters, but seems to thrive
here amazingly, many of them reaching
an enormous size. 1t ls now not unusual
for fisherman to land bass weighing
ten pounds and over. Imagine how
such monster can make a reel sing.
Pike, too. are abundant, and are found
in many Of our fresh water ponds and
streams.
TIE last Legislature changed the
open seasans for these fish. They cam
not be taken until May 25, five dayii
later than formerly, and the season IL
extended for bass to February 1st, and
pike to March LIST.
