FLIES STARS AND STRIPES.
Menaced by Submarines British Ship
Sails Under American Flag.

Menaced by Submarines British Ship
Sails Under American Flag.
London-The British steamer Lust
tania of the Cunard line which sailed
from New York January 80 and ar
rived at Liverpool flew the American
flag from the time she passed Queens
town until she entered Mersey. This
is vouched for by American passen-
gers who crossed on her.
The Lusitania received a wireless
from the Baltic of the White Star line
that two submarines had been sighted
from that vessel. The captain, in re-
ply to a question of one of the pas
sengers, declared he had a right to
fly the flag of a neutral country fol
protection of unetral passengers and
mails which his ship was carrying.
After being delayed by heavy storms
which raised seas deck high and in
jured II passengers, the Lusitania
arrived off Queenstown. She cruiseo
off the Irish port two hours and, with
out picking up a pilot, as is usually
dence, proceeded to Liverpool at full
speed, arriving at the Mersey chan.
mel at daybreak, with the Stars and
Stripes still flying.

NAVIGATION BILLS PASSED.
Measure Designed to Facilitate Oper

Measure Designed to Facilitate Oper-
ton of Foreign-Built Ships.
Washington. Several bills clear
ing up discrepancies in the navigation
laws were passed by the house. The
measures were designed especially to
facilitate operation under American
register Of foreign-biult ships owned
by American citizens Or corporations.
When the Panama Canal act and
recent amendments to the navigation
laws established the policy of admit
ting foreign built ships registry
when owned by Americans, penalties
and discriminating duties imposed on
such vessels remained on the statute
books. The bills passed repealed the
section of the Underwood tariff law
imposing an additional duty of 10 per
cent ad valorem on goods imported
in such ships, and the old penalty sec
ton of the navigation laws imposing
a tax of 81 ton on such ships when
they touched at an American port.

WILL CONSIDER
AN EXTRA SESSION
A WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD AND SITUATION
DISCUSSED.
THAT SHIP PURCHASE BILL
Only Hope For Measure is to Press
Substitute Scheme-Regular Ses-
sion Ends March q.

Washington. - Whether President
Wilson will call an extra session OF
congress in case of defeat of the ship
bill at this session probaly will be de-
cided at conferences this week be-
tween the president and Democratic
leaders in congress.
At the White House it was said
present sentiment among officials was
against an extra session, but that no
definite conclusion had been reached.
All appropriation bills will be freed of
legislative riders which might cause
prolonged discussion in the senate
and leaders think they can be passed
in a week or ten days if the shipping
bill is disposed of.
Administration senators agreed it
would be impossible to recommend
the ship purchase bill with instruc-
lions for it's modification and deter
mined their only course to get an
amended bill before the senate was to
yield to Senator Clarke's> motion,
which threw the Democratic ranks
into confusion.
They will then press Senator Cores
motion to discharge the commerce
committee from consideration of a
substitute bill containing amendments
satisfactory to progressive Republi-
can senators.
Suggestions that Republican Sena-
tors eventually might yield their op-
position in order to take up appro-
priation bills and let the measure
come to vote are denied by minority
leaders. They insist the bill cannot
get vote.
Democratic Senators champiOning
the bill admit the situation is desper-
ate. They realize their insistence on
keeping the bill before the Senate will
mean failure of the great appropria-
ton bills. This would make an extra
session inevitable.

LOAN FUND PLAN NO

NOUNcEMENT FROM THE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

However knowledge That Such a
Fund Existed Was Beneficial,
The Board Declares.

Washington. - Loans under the
$135-00O,0OO fund plan has been closed
and the plan virtually ended it's ex-
istence with an announcement from the
Central Committeeman Federal Re-
serve Board acting as individuals
that subscriptions probably would not
be called for. Applications amounted
to only $4,000 and this was not OBJ
tanned from the fund, but elsewhere
on notes and collateral offered with
the applications.
Subscribers, the Central Committee
point out, have not been released
from liability for their proportionate
share of the $4,000 but if all the
loans are paid, subscriptions will not
be needed.
The announcement says that sub
scriptions aggregated $1O1, O36, 100
from 4S7 banks, 1876 firms and II in
dividuals, ranging from 500 to $5,-
100000 and representing 81 cities in
10 states and the District of Co
lumbia.
"The beneficial effects of the fund.-"
says the announcement, "are not to
be measured by the small amounts
actually loaned. It's benefits consisted
largely in the public knowledge that
there was a source of assistance
which could be confidently looked to
and availed of. When the organiza-

ROCKEFELLER AND CARNEGIE
APPEARS BEFORE FEDERAL
COMMISSION BOARD.
FOR GOOD INTENTIONS ONLY
Mr.. Rockefeller Never Attends Board
Meeting of Foundation-Has No
More Rights Than Others.

New York.-John D. Rockefeller
Sr., and Andrew Carnegie appeared be.
fore the Federal Commission on In
dustrial Relation and defended the
foundations which they have endow-
ed with their wealth.
Neither would say he believed the
institutions constituted a menace to
the religious, political or educational
liberty of the people of the United
States. A desire to promote the well
fare of mankind and that alone, they
said, prompted them to establish the
foundations which bear their names.
Widely different was the manner in
which these two men faced the COM
mission and the audience, composed
largely of representatives of labor,
Socialists, individuals and members of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Mr.. Carnegie went to the witness
stand from a seat in the audience.
He was in a jovial mood and his ans
wers to questions caused. the audi
ence and the commissioners to roar
with laughter more than once.
Mr.. Carnegie enjoyed that. When
he left the stand he said he had not
spent such a pleasant afternoon in
many years.
Mr.. Carnegie revealed that up to
the close of last year his donations
totalled $324,657,399. His present
business, he said, was to do all the
good he could do in this world. He
sketched the growth of his steel bust
ness and said he never had such
a good time in his life' as when he
was talking to his employees. The
men liked him, too. when they call
you Andy instead of Andrew. or Mr..
Carnegie you know the boys are your
friends" said he.

GERMAN YNAMEs NEW WAR EREA
Declares Waters Around England and
Ireland in War Zone.

Washington = Germany's ! decQara-
ton of a naval war zone around Eng
land and Ireland, including the English
channel and the northen passage by
the Shetland Islands, is regarded here
as one of the most serious develop
ments Of the war.
It was regarded as highly possible,
for one thing, that it would hasten the
movement begun by the Latin-Ameri-
can countries for speedy. conference
of neutral states to devise means to
reduce losses to a minimum.
At first there were some limitations
in administration circles that it might
be the subject of a protest by the Unit
ed States but the official view devel-
oped that there was little or no ground
for that.

BETTER LIE LOW.

The following incident Is told by the Philadelphia North American Re view:
 "A West Philadelphia liquor dealer recently consulted an acquaintance in the real estate business about the ad- visibility of transferring his license from a side street location to a Mar ket street corner. The change would involve an increased investment Stay where you are, counseled the real estate expert. You would get a more prominent situation by nov ing; but that, in my judgment, is just what you should avoid Better stay where you're tolerated. If you try to get out on Market street, you'll only attract attention and stir up opposi- tion. Public opinion is getting mighty sensitive about the saloon business, and you'd run the chance of losing the place you've got
 "I guess you're right said the saloon-keeper. I put the proposition up to one of the biggest men in the wholesale trade Don't think of it. he said Don't invest another dollar. And make all you can now, for inside of ten years we'll all be put out of business

BREWERS URGE MODERATION?

BREWERS URGE hODERATiCN?
 The annual meeting of the United States Brewers association was re- gently held in New Orleans. Com menting on the printed report of that meeting, Henry J Allen, in the Wich- ita Beacon says:
 We note that the deepest concern Of the annual meeting was, as usual, for the taxpayer. They made it perfectly plain to everybody that so far as the brewers themselves were concerned, they didn't care anything for prohibit tion-they could, in fact, sell more booze under prohibition than without it-but they did not want the govern ment to lose the revenue, they didn't want the taxpayer burdened; they just wanted everything to go on in a free and easy and open way, with the taxpayer as he is now in the states where the saloons run the politics
 And above all, the brewers urged moderation" not in drinking, but in the language with which the discus sions against liquor are carried on. They also desire to save the hop and barley fields from being destroyed. While prohibition increases beer sales, 1t apparently ruins the hop and barley crops.
 One gem from the wisdom of this convention is that beer may be sub- stituted for bread"
 Frequently it is also substituted for shoes and school books and clothes and meat and house rent and furni- ture. In fact a liberal use of it will make it a substitute for everything except the grave
 Another piece of philosophy gar nered from the book of brewers wis dom is that "the only difference be- tween bread and beer is that bread is baked, while beer is boiled"
 It did not add however, that the user of it is frequently stewed

A former Red Wing (Minn.) saloon keeper, MT Lohman, now engaged in the clothing business in McHenry, N. D, recently visited his old friends in Red Wing While disclaiming any pretensions to being a total abstainer, he gave some excellent testimony to the value of prohibition.
 "One reason why we are not anxious to have a saloon in our town is that it would draw the kind of people from other places that we do not want; we like a good, clean town"
 Tt is said so often that prohibition does not prohibit MT Lohman." re marked a reporter. If a man goes to McHenry and wants a drink, can be get it?" "No. not for love nor money" replied Mir.

AGATE AND ONYX

The distinction between agate and onyx is not apparent to everyone, as is indicated by the samples of the two minerals received by the United States Geological Survey with requests for information. Onyx marble, or Mexi- can onyx, is composed of calcium car bondate or banded limestone. True agate is variety of silica. Onyx marble is much softer than agate and is rarely used for gems, but when onyx is obtained in pieces of sufficient size it is cut and polished for small ornamental objects like inkstands and paper weights, as well as for table tops and soda-water fountains.
