Further Action Undecided

Just what further action the United
States could take, however. Is prob
lematical. In some quarters 1t has been
suggested that the departments iufor-
nation regarding conditions in Belgium
said to be at variance with statements
in the German reply to the American
protest. be made public. 1t is realized
however, that such a step might lead
to a fruitless and perhaps embarrassing
controversy over facts.
There also have been suggestions
that an effort he made for joint action
with other neutrals to mobilize world
opinion in protest against the German
policy, but from the beginning of the
war the United States has studiously
refrained as matter of principle from
joining in any concerted diplomatic
representations.

Difficulties Encountered.

The difficulties opposed to the French
advance may be realized from the alti-
tude of the hills which the troops were
ordered to take and succeeded in cap
turing. Pepper Hill, which is double
crested, is 1.122 feet high; Louvemont
is 1.13s feet high, and another hill. un-
named behind. is 1.lS0 feet. The work
of the French aviators. like that of the
infantrymen and artillerymen, was car
ried out everywhere with almost inde-
serbia BILE daring. Dozens of squadrillas
of airmen fitted about observing and
correcting the artillery fire and accom-
panying the infantry formations in
their advance, after which they flew
rapidly back to headquarters with de-
tailed reports, thus keeping the COM
mander- in chief in closest touch with
events.

Newport News. Va, Feb. 20.-TWo
deputy United States marshals were in
distress aboard the prize ship Appam
today when Marshal John G. Saunders
arrived from Norfolk to see how things
had been going since his men the
oreticany dispossessed the German
prize crew yesterday. The deputies had
passed last night on deck with no

had utterly failed to impress Lieut..
Berg. the German commander. with
the fact that his ship was subject to
their orders.
Marshal Saunders Informed the lieu
tenant that the Appam was under the
jurisdiction of the federal district
court, the order having been issued
yesterday by Judge Waddill in libel
proceedings brought by the English
owners to determine the legal owner

CREEK CHAMBER
after SPEECH

Paris, Feb. o0.--The address to King
Constantine by the President Of the
Greek Chamber of Deputies was fol-
lowed Saturday hy u lively discussion
in the chamber. according to Havas
dispatches from Athens. The discus
sion was wa2ed over the responsible
ity of the King for the policy of the
government.
NJ. Dimitracopoulos former minis
ter of justice, declared that it was IN
parliamentary hI sthe president of the
chamber to present a political pro-
gram, in his address to the King Pre-
mier Skouloudis. retorted that former
Premier Venizeios had done precisely
the same thing.N
An opposition deputy objected to
that passage in the address which said
that it was the Kings intervention
that saved Greece from taking a share
in the European conflagration and
threw the responsibility for it on the
King, whereas. he said, the King is
not responsible.
Minister of Justice and Communica-
ton Rhallis explained that the govern
ment was responsible for the Kings
words He assured the chamber that
the King by his patriotism has con-
tributed to the protection of the ma
tional interests.

DANIELS ASKS
CONGRESS- FOR
APPROPRIATION

Washington Feb. ga 81. 1851 COO emer-
gency appropriationsfor immediate neces-
sary repairs of machinery in battleships,
torpedo destroyers and submarines, to in
crease the supply of mines and for the
first time to equip battleships with anti
aircraft guns, was asked of Congress Sat-
urday by Sec. Daniels.
Many OF our destroyers have reached
an age where renewals of extensive por-
tions of their machinery equipment is
necessary" Sec. Daniels said. The same
is true of submarines, both classes of
vessels making a big drain on this years
appropriation
The boilers of the battleships Georgia
and Virginia, both of which have been in
almost constant service for 10 years, have
as to require that these vessels be with
drawn from active service to have their
boilers replaced. In addition, the Vir-
slnia has recently broken an important
part of her machinery, which must be
renewed, and the long stay of the fleet in
Mexican waters last year also caused an
unusual repair bill.
The largest single item under the bu-
reau or ordnance is for Mines" Sec DAN
iels said. Mining has attained, in the es-
listing war abroad, such Importance as to
point strongly to the ACCESSIBILITY OF in
creasing the provision for this method
of defence
Other items are: Engineering 5000 COO:
construction and repairs. s6So00O; contin-
gent expenses. $4,000; maintenance. wards
and docks. $4,000 and repairs, $4,000.
The communication dismissed the anti
aircraft guns situation with the state
ment that the United States has none in
its service.
Sec. Daniels also declared that II was
highly desirable to avoid a layoff Of
Workmen. who would be lost by the UNI
usual demand for labor in the building
trades.
The estimates were referred to the ap-
preparations committee for inclusion in
the urgent deficiency bill

WESTbR00K MILL
TO Get INCREASE

Westbrook. Me-, Feb GA general in
crease in wages. approximating about 8
per cent: and affecting nearly 1000 en-
ployes of the S. d. Warren & Co. paper
mill at Westbrook, will go into effect
next Thursday. the next pay day at the
big mill. With the exception of the en-
ployes in the paper machine department
the increase will effect every employe in
the concern.
Some few weeks ago the Warren COM
pany voluntarily ipcreased the pay Of the
paper machine hands and the increase
to become effective on Thurs
day is but continuation of the system
as inaugurated at that time.
The big plant is working at capacity at
the present time and more finished pa
per is being shipped out of Westbrook
today than ever before in the history of
the Paper City. Although many of the
department have been on a 24-hour daily
for many years, the speeding up
Of the machinery has nearly doubled the
daily output of the plant and many of
the departments which are ordinarily op-
Grated only during the nine-hour day are
by the enormous increase in business
forced to run several nights each week.

in theory. at least the lieutenant Will
be under their direction.
But the guards will carry their own
rations aboard, and will divide the du-
ty into two watches of II hours each,
so that half of the force may be sleep
ing while the other half stands guard.
Lieut.. Berg protested against the
proceeding when the deputies first APP
peared yesterday and was even more
vigorous in his complaint today. He
insists that the Appam now is Ger
man ship and that no one has rights
aboard ner except himself.
Collector Hamilton acted on advice
from the treasury department at
Washington in permitting service of
the courts order and it is understood
that the government will not attempt
for the present to interfere with the pro-
ceedings until decision has been hand
cd down. SO long as there is no attempt
to interfere with the actual status of
the ship. The matter is now the sub
ject of diplomatic negotiations and
the state department has not yet given
decision on the question of how long
German prize crew may keep ship
in American waters.

LAWYER THINKS
LEWISTON CLERK
HAS NO AUTHORITY

Lewiston, Me, Feb. 2O.-The ques-
ton of the authority of Clerk Robert
]. Curran to act as judge of the Lew
iston municipal court, was raised in
the court Saturday and may finally
reach the supreme court.
George Marcoux. charged with nom
support, was represented by H. E.
Holmes, who objected to consideration
of the case on the ground that the
clerk had no authority to act, there
being no judge Of the court. When he
was overruled Mr.. Holmes refused to
proceed farther.
Clerk Curran heard the wife's testi-
mony and ordered Marcoux to give
500 bonds to await grand jury ac-
ton.
Mr.. Holmes asked the clerk if his
client was in custody and was in
formed that he was not, but might be
arrested at any time. Mr.. Holmes said
that if Marcoux was arrested and com
mitted to Jail he would bring habeas
corpus proceedings for his release on
the ground that the Imprisonment was
without due process of law. there be-
ing no municipal court, as he claimed.
at present.
Clerk Curran claims to act under the
charter of the court, which gives the
clerk authority to act in criminal mat
tiers when the judge is engaged in civil
business or lis absent from the court
room" Mr.. Holmes claims that when
Judge Brann. who is also mayor. re-
fused to qualify under his appoint
ment at the expiration of his first term
on Feb. ), the office of judge became
vacant, and the whole authority OF
the court ceased
IF there is no judge. he cannot be
absent from the courtroom" is Mr..
Holmes contention.
The lack of municipal court for
civil matters was felt Saturday when
a landlord wished to obtain writ to
get out an Objectionable tenant and
was unable to do SO.

MORE EVIDENCE
OF INEFFICIENCY
IN AIR SERVICE

Washington, Feb. 20.-More evidence
in support of his charge that the army
aviation service is "contemptibly in
efficient" was made public Saturday
night by Senator Robinson. who de-
clared he would continue his efforts
for a congressional Investigation de-
spite the announcement of the War
department that it would make an in
quiry into the subject.
Chairman Chamberlain of the SEN
ate military committee, before which
Mr.. Robinson testified Friday, said
he would ask the committee to vote
Monday on the senator's resolution.
Il introduced my resolution in De-
cember," said Senator Robinson II
waited until Friday for the War de-
partment TO act. For months the de-
partment had all this information. AS
a result Of inefficiency several men
who believed the machines were I'M
safe were compelled to fly and wer.
killed. Now l think the inquiry should
be made by persons outside the army"
The senator said further data re-
garding the service had been laid be-
fore him Saturday by persons claiming
to have authoritative information.
This. together with documents pre-
sented to the military committee Fri
day. including the Photographic copies
Of letters purporting to have passed
between Lieut. Col. Samuel Reber, in
charge of the aviation service and
Captain Arthur s. Cowan. in charge
Of the San Diego station, will be
placed at the disposal Of any investi-
eating committee Congress may ap-
point.
The data made public Saturday
night was given out in the form off a
statement by Senator Robinson quot
ign from additional letters he said had
been written by aviation officials

fate has already overtaken the 34th

was in full retreat. The road over
which they had passed was instantly
occupied by Russian cavalry and as
they were completely surrounded.
there was no alternative. but to sur
render with arms, equipment and ar
tillery.
1t is regarded as almost inevitable that
the Turkish corps retiring along the
fire of the Russian fleet and the pressure
of the Russian armies will be caught i'll
the same sort of trap, as the turkish
troops falling back from Wide to Gum

to so than the Russian troops which are
advancing from ErZerum to cut them off
on the Turkish right flank where the
Ninth Corps is operating. the Turks find
themselves in the same precarious posi-
ton. since all the roads of retreat to the
north are gradually falling back under
Russian control. The retreat of the
Turkish armies every where is impeded
by deep snow and the difficult character
of the country. They are without food
and lack war supplies and there seems
to be little possibility of their offering
even temporary resistance of any
strength to the Russian advance.

Mine WORKERS
AND OPERATORS
IN CONFERENCE
Anthracite Miners Desire 20 Per
Cent. Increase and Eight-h0ur
Day and Full Recognition Of
Uni0n-Soft Coal Men to Have
Similar Conference

New York, Feb. 0.-RepresentativeS
of the Anthracite coal operators and
the United Mine workers of America
arrived here today to attend the joint
conference which will open tomorrow
to consider the demands Of the miners
for new wage agreement
The demands Of the union leaders
who represent more than $4,000 work.
ers were formulated last September at
WilkeSbarre. Pa, and were ratified
at the national convention of the
United Mine Workers at Indianapolis
in the last week of January. The min
ers demand in brief:
"A 20 per cent. increase in wages;
full recognition of the United Mine
Workers by the operators: a two-year
contract instead of the existing four
year agreement which expired March
81; an eight-hour working day.
Representatives of 10 anthracite
companies issued a statement here on
Feb. III which they attacked the min
ers' demands as unjust and declared it
was the plain duty OF the operators to
resist unreasonable demands" The
operators commended that to grant the
increase would make necessary an ad-
vance of 60 cents a ton in the price
paid fer coal by the consumer.
The miners claim that the cost Of
food in tie last II years has increased
40 per cent. and wages only So per
cent.
After the close of the anthracite con-
ference, a similar meeting will be held
here Thursday between miners and
operators in the soft coal fields.
