GAMBLE WITH GOVERNMENT.

Washington, d. c., Feb. "A group
of financiers interested In coastwise
navigation have offered 10 gamble Il
million dollars with the government
They are willing to construct light
house on the Outer Dia lond Shoals
off Cape Hatteras, in treacherous
sands and storm swept seas, on condi
ton that If they are successful the
government will pay $1,25O,OOO for the
lighthouse,
The water is 80 feet deep at the
point where the lighthouse would
stand. The government engineers
have bored through 1000 feet of sand
at that point without finding a solid
foundation for such lighthouse. But
so great is the necessity, that the gov
eminent may be willing to take the
offer, for unless the completed light
house meets the approval of govern
ment engineers, it will never be paid
for.
The business advocates of the plan
have asked for congressional authority
to go ahead with the work. The House
Committee on Interstate Commerce
have reserved action on the proposal

lima appeared in behald of the finan

"The stopping of German competi-
ton on the sea means loss of $780,

n this connection that he declared a

Britain's intentions in relation to con-
ditional contraband, declaring that
country had reversed the doctrine that
when conditional contraband is stopped
the burden rests upon the captor to
prove that the goods were destined
for the use of the armies or navies of
adversaries. He declared that by the
reversal of the recognized doctrines re-
Iating to contraband England hoped to
starve Germans at home. In this CON
nection he said.
And while the Enelish will proba-
bly, be baked in this ingenious device
by the action of the United States as

great deal of their national sustenance
from their sea traffic So the Scandi

any belligerent country.
