LONDON, June 22.-There no
longer remains any doubt that Earl
Kitchener. Secretary of War, and
Field Marshal Sir Join French. COM
mander of the British forces on the
Continent. are at daggers drawn. Very
little has been publicly said on this
situation a very embarrassing one TO
the government and to ine country's
cause-and the newspapers have done
little more than hint at The disagree
ment.
II is generally felt thar Ny. As.
quith's recent visit to the front was
made with a view to smoothing over
questions Of difference between Sir
John French and the Secretary for
War. What was accomplished by that
visit is not known, but no one sup

British commander arc working in
greater harmony because of e.

Mr.. DONOVAN IS
ELECTED PRESIDENT

Robert Adair introduced a resolu-
ton at the meeting of the Ninth Ward
Civic Association in No. 80 School re-
questing the Street and Sewer De-
partment to defer final action for one
week on the changes in the pending
merger of the street railway COM
panies.
His motion to adopt the resolution
was seconded by the Rev r. L. Jack
son. The resolution was unanimously
adopted and the secretary directed to
send a copy to the Street and Sewer
DEPARTMENT at its meeting today.
The resolution was as follows.
Resolved BY the Ninth Ward Civic
Association at a stated meeting held
this 2lst day of June 4. D.. 1918. that
the Street and Sewer Department of
this city be requested to defer con-
sideration Of the proposed changes
under the pending merger Of the
Street Railway Companies of this city
until Tuesday, the 29th instant and
further that a public meeting be held
at that time and that the terms of the
proposed merger be published in full
at least three days before that meet
Ing and final action taken on the
same
Mr. Adair said he had been re-
quested to bring up the matter by
certain property owners in the ward
who we're not members of the asso-
citation. He said that these persons
wished final delay so that it could be
definitely ascertained just how the
Ninth ward would be affected by the
merger and the changes proposed
He stated that it was proposed 10
abandon the tracks on certain streets
and said that the question involved
was what rights and benefits would be
lost by the taxpayers. He said the
matter of paving was the only one
that had been brought to his atten-
ton. He said that on some streets
the street railway companies were
compelled to pave from curb to curb
and If tracks we're abandoned on
such streets there would be q dis
tinct loss to the ward and tracks
should be kept on such streets. One
of the companies, he declared, had a
perpetual charter He thought the
whole matter should be gone into
thoroughly before it was too late, or

WHO'S WHO in THE WAR
Hedley lie Bias.

Hed1ey lie Bias is the name of an
Englishman, who has performed a
greater service for his country in this
crisis than any soldier, with the posi-
bic exceptions of Kitchener and
French. He is not a fighting man. He
Is q wealthy publisher, famed through
out the empire for his command of
terse and forceful English. AS a
writer of advertisements he has few,
if any superiors. When Kitchener
took charge of British military affairs
he was faced with the tremendous
problem OF arousing the people to a
realization of the critical state of af-
fairs. II he failed in that, conscrip-
ton remained as the only alternative.
and he nmediately dropped his
private interests and devoted his en-
tire time to the service of his country
Your king and your country need
you, was his first clarion call. 1t was
printed in big type In every news
paper in England. 1t was emblazoned
On biIfboards and shoardings all over
London and in every city and in the
United Kingdom. The phrase was
first day of its publication the public
apathy vanished and was succeeded
by O wave OF enthusiasm. Since then
the messages of LIE Bias have ap-
peared every day. and they have dem
onstrated as never before the power
of advertfsing. Every variety OF pub
licity has been used to carry LIE Bass
argument. but daily newspapers have
been found the most effective. You're
pro9d OF your pals in the army, of
course, but what will your pals think
Of You? was question that brought
thousands OF recruits. In the journals
largely read by merchants, LIE Bias in
quired, rs there a man serving your
cnntomers who ought to be serving
his country? Mr.. LIE Bias receives
no salary, but It may safely be pre-
iicted that when the honors are dis
tributed after the war he will not be
forgotten.

TopAY's BIRTHDAY PARTY
81 BY o. fTerence.
Sir owen Phillips, Organizer Of the
Greatest shipping Combine.

OF OWeH F1tItIpG1 oFRSnI&GE OF GtG
Greatest Shipping Combine.
Sir Owen C. Phillips, who organized
the greatest shipping combine in the
history of the British mercantile ma
rine, was born flfty-two years ago to-
day, March rs, 1863. His great merger
b of shipping interests under the con-
troll OF the Royal Mail Steam Packet
company, the oldest OF British steam
ship lines, includes the Pacific Steam
Navigation company, operating to
South America; the "P. &c o." be-
tween England and the Orient; the
Union Castle line, which controls the
South African trade, and the Forward
line, with big feet in the Mediter-
ranean.
Last June, shortly before the out
break of the war, Sir Owen sounded
an alarm to British shipping, warn
ing it's representatives OF the dangers
from aggressive German competition.
ION every great trade route IN the
world and in every great commercial
port you will find German ships" said
Sir Owen on that occasion. "They
are the only formidable rivals that
British shipping has to face. They
have practically captured the trade of
the west coast OF America and to
Brazil and Argentina. In the last case
they have hit the French so hard as
to necessitate a subsidy from the
French government.
What l wish to emphasize Is that
the British public's attention has too
long been hypnotized by the German
navy. There is an obsession that this
commercial aggressiveness is due to
the growth of the German navy. The
boot is on the other foot. 1t is Ger
man commercial activity that has
created her navy and is swelling it
to giant proportions. Our national de-
Tense has been directed to the wrong
quarter. If the nation had backed up
our commercial shipping, as it has the
navy, Great Britain would be more
powerful. The German naval ensign
accompanies her trade. Our flag fol-
lows ours. The fight for world SUI
premacy is being waged by German
ships and British ships on every
ocean. The German national policy
IS summoned up in the one word
trade. She is driven to seek it by
the growth of her industrial popula-
ton. The acute need of finding and
keeping outside markets for the pro-
ducts of her workers has urged her
to aggression"
