MARSHALL CASTS
 DECIDING VOTE
Bill Providing for Independence of Philippine Islands Passed by
 Senate after Quick Work.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Sen ate late yesterday passed the bill pro- viding that the Philippine islands should be given their independence. The roll call when taken showed that the vote stood a tie and Vice-Presi- dent Marshall, cast the deciding vote.
 The measure provides that the Fil- ipinos are to be given the fullest form |of self government during the com ing years and. that their Independence be established before four years have passed but not before two, ,xears after the bill was passed. s4: r,s.,.
 The Philippine measure was made the business, of s.the day. and many amendments which had sbsen tackled on by. senators who wished their names to be identified with the bill. were quickly disposed ot:ppon recop- mendation of the Philippine Ialands committees of the senate. of which Senator Hitchcock,ia .chairman .,;

.RuMANlA J ]! TO
 STAY NEUTRAL
Bucharest Reports that Compact Has Been Made With Greece Where
 by Both Keep from War,

BUCHAREST, Feb. At is be- lieved here that Rumania will not en- ter the war but will remain neutral unless her territory Is invaded by some of the warning nations. The Bucharest newspapers declare that King Constantine of Greece and King Ferdinand of Rumania, have signed Ia dual neutrality compact whereby they agree to remain neutral and to aid each other in meeting oppression which might be attempted on either nation.
 The sudden reversal of the attitude of Rtmania. after her troops had been massed at advantageous points to invade Austria, Is believed to have been due to the influence of German diplomats working through the Greek government.
 The nations engaged in the Euro pean war have long been aware that Rumania would not be sWayed by sen timent in deciding upon which side she would become an ally. Rumania realizes that her position may make her an important factor in determin- ing the final result of the war and that is the warning nations grow weaker from the conflict their bids of territorial and other concessions for Rumania's active participation on their side will increase

BERLIN. Feb. 4.-Oflcial commu- nications sent by the German govern ment to Ambassador Bernstorff in Washington, are of such a nature as to give rise to a reasonable hope that positive understanding concerning the case of the sinking of the Lusita-' mia will be reached at an early date,

 pinos Rejected by Senate.

Solution Will Depend Upon Attitude of Government Regarding Armed
 Enemy Merchantmen.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The question Of determining the responsibility on in' surance carried by the British steam ship Appam which was captured by Ia German commerce raider of the African coast and taken to an Ameri- can port, is puzzling the officials o! the Lloyd Insurance company.
 The officers of the company believe that the correct solution of the insur- ance matter will depend upon the at- titude of the government as to wheth- Ter armed merchantmen of the enemy are considered cruisers or merely as pirates.
 The liner carried five thousand pounds of bullion and both cargo and vessel were covered by insurance in Lloyd's and the company stands to lose several million dollars. The news that the German con1- merce raider was active off the coast of Africa has caused insurance rates on vessels visiting southern waters to treble and the same rate Is applied as though they were entering the war zones where submarines are opera.- ing.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4.-President Wilson told an audience of fifteen thousand persons here yesterday that he believed that the United States should not only have a great navy, but that she should have the greatest navy in the world, He also said that 1t might be necessary for America to use force to vindicate the rights of America citizens everywhere in or. der that they may enjoy the rights guaranteed to them under interna- tional law.
 In speaking of his national de- fense policy President Wilson said: "l believe that the United States should have the greatest navy in the world. That her navy should be unconquer- able"
 The president declared that the commanders of submarines of the European nations which were now en- gagged in a death struggle might have instructions which for the most part conform with international law but that the act of one commander might set the world afire, including Ameri- CA.
