The Death Of Mrs. Charles H. Haynes

had always lived in Ellsworth. She

Urges Ship Purchase Bill.

The President has ordered the in
terstase commerce commission to in
vestigate the transportation facilities
and rates between this country and
foreign nations. He expects to use
the information in his renewed fight
for a government-own merchant
marine. There is q strong legal
question as to whether the interstate
commerce com mission has right to
inquire into the necessity for the
governmental purchase, financing or
operation of merchant marine.
But, whether the action is legal or
not, it goes to show the logged per-
sistence of the President. The ship
purchase bill was never demanded by
any party platform, it never enjoyed
the favor of any considerable group of
people, it was brought forward as a
personal scheme of the President and
McAdoo, and by presidential pressure
it was forced through one branch of
Congress, only to meet defeat
in the Senate through the courageous
resistance of the republican minor
ty, aided by a few rational-minded
democrats. Since then the business
men of the country-in whose inter-
ests the President assumes to be act
ing-have declared emphatically in
opposition to the scheme.
Yet the President persists; and he
intends to employ the power and
influence and activities of any gov
ernmental agency In his attempt to
force this obnoxious measure through
Congress.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1915

Developments of the week in this
country's relations with the warning
powers in Europe are the request by
this country for the recall Of the
Austro- Hungarian ambassador at
Washington, and the reopening Of the
submarine warfare discussion by .
note from Germany claiming justif-
cation for the sinking OF the steam
ship Arabic, the commander OF the
German submarine that sank the
Arabic reporting that he believed
the steamship was attempting to run
him down. The recall Of the Austrian
ambassador followed disclosures OF
his efforts to instigate strikes in
American plants manufacturing
munitions Of war. In the submarine
discussion, relations between this
country and Germany again assumed
q serious aspect. Though the efforts
OF the German ambassador in the di-
rection Of . better understanding
have tended to lessen the tension
somewhat in the past few days, the
turn new developments will take
depends upon Berlin. This country
asks for disavowal from Germany OF
the attack on the Arabic, or in other
words, that Germany will withdraw
its claims of justification.
