SHIFT IN GULF STREAM
NAY BRING SHARKS HERE
Icebergs Few, Fogs and Man
Eaters Many, Shippers Say.

The shift in the Gulf Stream, bring
ing the warm current closer to shore, is
the cause of fewer icebergs and thicker
fogs this season, according to Captain
Charles Satterlee, of the coast guard
cutter Tampa, who returned yesterday
from a six months ice patrol IN the
northerly lanes of the Atlantic.
The patrol was established. after the
sinking of the Titanic. Captain Sat
terlee declared that from his observa-
tions it would be impossible for
ship's officer TO receive warning OF the
presence of bergs through drop IN
the temperature. The only possible
safeguard was a vigilant lookout, he
said. ~.
CAPTAIN William Jensen, Of the Unit
cd Fruit steamer Callamares, yester-
dav explained the prevalence of sharks
near shore by change in the course
of the Gulf Stream.
"While only 200 miles from SANDY
Hook the ocean registered "a degrees
Fahrenheit," he said. at is my belef
that the Gulf Stream has swung mucn
further inshore, as this is the only eX-
rIanation | can offer for the heat. II
his is true. the coast will in all proba..
bilitv be visited by many schools OF
sharks until late autumn.

Colonel Ernest f. Jannicky, COM
mander of the 47th Regiment, VIII De

near future, it was learned last night
and will be replaced by Lieutenant
Colonel Harry B. Baldwin. Coionel
Jannicky has already been relieved
temporarily Of his command.

The demand for Colonel Jannicky' s
resignation, it is said. is only the pre-,

six lieutenants of the regiment, IT is
believed, will likewise be asked TO sur
render their commissions, and several
non-commissioned officers will be de-
NOTED.
Colonel Jannicky spent yesterday in
the Brooklyn armory sorting out the

Citizens of Empire Are
Forbidden to Deal
with Enemy"

London, July 1.-THE British gov
eminent tomorrow will publish a list
of from seventy to eighty business
firms and individuals domiciled in the
United States with which residents of
the United Kingdom are forbidden to
trade This will be the first time that
any American firms have been placed
on the statutory list, which is better
known as "the trading with the enemy
act" blacklist. All other countries have
been represented in the list for some
time
Laming Worthington Evans. control
Ter of the foreign trade department OF
the Foreign Office, to-day gave the fol
! lowing explanation of the latest exten.
sion of the trading with the enemy act:
at has been the policy of the British
government in the past to follow the
theory that. in forbidding its subjects
to trade with an enemy, enemies domi-
cied in friendly countries do not come
under the act. France and various
countries hold the doctrine that their
nationals cannot trade with an enemy,
no matter what his domicile.
Reasons for the Step.
Modern conditions Of credit and
commerce make it possible for an
enemy outside of belligerent territory
TO trade with his country. Therefore, a
considerable body of opinion IN this
country urged the government to aban-
don its traditional doctrine, and the
Foreign Office, while not going to this
extreme, decided simply to prohibit
persons domiciled in the United King
dom from trading with limited num-
be. of individuals, firms or companies
of enemy nationality or association un-
der the same penalties as though they
were trading with an enemy"
The statement continues:
at will be clear that this policy en-
bodied in the recent act is purely a
piece of domestic legislation which only
interferes with trade. even in the cases
of specified concerns, by prohibiting
persons domiciled in the United King
dom from dealing with these concerns
II is a consequence simply and solely
of the exercise of the right of the state
TO limit or control, in the interests OF
the state, the trade relations OF its own
subjects.
How United States Is Affected.
"As regards the United States list
this may roughly be divided into foui
classes:
"First-German firms with head Off
ces or control in Germany.
"Second-German firms incorporated
in the United States, and therefore
technically American entities. We have
dealt with these firms on their merits
In these cases something more has beer
required to qualify them for the statu

the first or second qualifications, United
States citizens as a rule have not beer

London. July 1s.-Count Michael
Karolyi, successor of Kossuth In the
fight for Hungarian independence, has
begun an agitation for immediate peace
between Hungary and her enemies, with
or without the consent Of Germany and
Austria.
Count Karolyi, says Budapest dis
patch to "The Morning Post" has re-
signed from the presidency OF the
Hungarian independence party and VIII
form a new organization, which Will
demand peace without delay. Seventy
members of the Hungarian Parliament

in the new party's ranks.
A sensation was caused in the Hun
garian Parliament on December Z,
when Count Karolyi demanded that
the government make peace proposals
to the enemy powers. He argued tnat
, Hungary had achieved everything she
desired by the war, had saved the
country from invasion. and had pre-
served the monarchy and throne, and
that the Hungarians had a pertec'
right to come forward with their
claims for compensation.
Insisted on Peace.
The count held that the political
unity of the Hungarian nation should
be recognized, that all the attributes
Of a national state as well as economic
independence should be granted, and
that, above all, peace should be re-
stored
"We have given proof enough OF our
physical courage" Count karolyi was
quoted as saying. "Now we have to
show our moral courage"
Declared Government Corrupt.
Count Karolyi continued the vigorous
campaign against Austria. lie charged
the government with corruption IN
winking at the Vaccinations Of great

Count Michael Karolyi, who is a
member of the Hungarian Lower
House. is we'll known in the United
States, having visited severa Amerl-
can cities early in 1914, in the inter
ests of free rule for Hungary, and IN

Will Not Act Yet.

Governor Whitman, on learning OF
the suggestion that he employ the
draft to fill the guard ranks, said as
long as there were regiments still IN
the state ready 10 go to the border
he would not use his power.
Colonel Johnston's suggestion was
made in telegram concerning mem
ber of his command whom the auxil-
iary were endeavoring to have dis
charged that he might return to sup
port his family. To make the dis
charge immediate the organization had
asked that the man receive a furlough,
in the anticipation that his applica-
ton could be acted upon before his
leave expired.
The officers answer was that only a
short furlough would be granted the
applicant. and that he would have TO
pay his own transportation both COM
ing from and returning TO the border
In conclusion, he showed his concern
regarding the gaps in the regiment by
his suggestion urging the use of the

Discharge of Married
Men Worries OFF,
GERS at Border.
WHITMAN ASKED
TO USE POWER
Says He Will Not Act Un-
der New Law While Men
Are Still in State.

Officers in command of troops at the
border are greatly concerned over the
number of men with dependent fam
lilies who are being discharged under
the order recently issued by the Secre-
tary of War. One, at least, has sug-
gested that Governor Whitman employ
the power to draft men into the Guard
granted him by the bill the last Legis-
lature passed.
Colonel Gordon Johnston, command
ing the 18th Infantry, in telegram
received at the headquarters of the
Active Service Auxiliary of the Ma
tional Guard. asks that "the Governor
be urged to make use OF the draft to
replace the married men released on
application"
His apparent anxiety, which is re-
flected in reports from other oihcers
bears out the statement that the regi'
ments now at the border average Du'
half strength, and that certain regl'
ments from the Eastern Department
lack between 500 and 900 men.
Can Call on Mayors.
The draft bill. passed by the Legis'
lature and signed by Governor Whit
man. provides that the states execu
tive may direct his order to the
mayor of any city or the supervisor
of any town, who, upon the receipt oi
same, shall forthwith proceed to draft
as many Of the reserve militia in his
city or town, or accept as many volun'
teers as are required by the Governor
and shall forward list of persons SC
drafted or accepted as volunteers
This bill stipulates that the reserve
militia of New York shall consist "oi
all those liable to service in the militia
but not serving in the National Guard
or the Naval Militia of the state"
The law further provides that "a
