has started and explained the only
shark scare he ever hopes to be in
volved in.
Cohn was doing some swimming,
when, diving deep, he grasped what
he thought was a pier post, and be-
gan to pull himself to the surface.
Miss May Brour was attached to what
COIN mistook for a pier post, and the
scream which accompanied the ascent
of the frightened Cohn could be heard
in the suburbs.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that Coin explained in the police court

NEW YORK, July 29-For all

OF this amount the usual leaders
like United States Steel, Mercantile

few equipments and industrials made
up more than fifty per cent.

badly needed by paper manufac-
turers, for they are unable to get
the raw material from abroad now.
So great is this demand that ad-
vcrtiscments OF the high prices
paid for old rags and paper have
been placardcd in various public
places to catch the eye Of the
housewife and even the United
States government has taken a
hand. The president Of a large
paper company in the East is
quoted as saying that American
thriftlessncss in destroying old
rags and papers is responsible for

the discarded newspapers picked

hundred tons Of newspapers be-

net the company about 100000 a

APPAM CASE GROWS MORE COMPLICATED;
 10 ACT CAUTIOUSLY
Action of Officials Will Have Direct Bearing On Future. All Off Liner Except the
 German Prize Crew

Washington, February 3.-The Ap- pam case broadened out today, becom ing a complex and possibly far-reach- ing situation threatening to affect some of the fundamental questions of naval warfare at issue between the United States and Germany
 For that reason it was not finally decided whether the ship should be re- turned to her British owners under The Hague convention or held the fair prize of her German captors under the Prussan- American treaty, although the indications remained that the latter course ultimately would be followed.
 Officials are said to realize that their construction of the Prussian- American treaty in this case undoubtedly will come up as a precedent at some other time during the war, and even migh t have a bearing on the case of the American sailing ship William P. Frye, sunk a year ago by the German com merce raider, Prinz Eitel Friedrich The Frye case is on the eve of settle ment, practically on the terms for which the United States contends.

President Wilson Receives Important Dispatches Bearing on Foreign SituatiOn-Determine Stand

 A final settlement of the Lusitania case is expected soon after the Presi- dent arrives in Washington.

TO SEEK INDICTMENT AGAINST WATSON IN
 ANOTHER STATE
The Georgia Delegation Protests Against Inference That Citizens of Georgia Are Incapable of
 Sitting on Jury

Washington, February 3.-The House members of the Georgia delegation in Congress today sent written protest to Attorney Gen eral Gregory against what they said they understood to be the de- partment of justice intention to seek an indictment in some other state against Thomas E Watson of Georgia on the charge of having violated the postal laws by circu- lating obscene matter regarding the Leo Frank case.
 The suggestion" says the let ter of protest, which grows out of the alleged violation of the postal laws by one of Georgias citizens, the Hon. Thomas E. Wat son, that the government of the United States cannot get a fair trial in Georgia and that one of our citizens is likely to be taken to another state and prosecuted is resented by each of us and if car ried into effect will be very offen- sive to the people of Georgia Such procedure is unusual, if not unpre- cedented, and if the alleged vio- lation of law occurred in Georgia by the posting of newspapers there we insist that the case be tried there, if an indictment should be found"

NEED 25,0O0 MEN ID PROTECT THE CANAL
Fixed Qualifications Useless Without a Mobile Army, Says Gen. Edwards

Washington, February 3.-Twenty- five thousand men, or more than one fourth the present total strength o1 the standing army. are needed to in- sure adequate protection of the Pan anna canal. Brig Gen. Clarence R. Ed wards, commanding the canal garri. son, told the Senate military commit tee today in outlining his opinions or national defense.
 Fixed fertilization, no matter how strong. cannot guard the zone. Gen. eral EdwaIds said, and without a mo- bile army to back them up. the guns already there are a source of weak ness, not strength. He declared the jungle on parts of the zone would be more of protection than hindrance | to an approaching enemy.
 What I have said in respect to the imIsttance of the canal zone in any system of national defense and the necessity of providing complete pro- lection, applies with equal force and almost word for word to Oahu (Hawai- | ian Islands). The existing and con templated garrison is seriously defi- cient in strength and the guns now emplaced are a danger to us until sup. ported by sufficient mobile troops" General Edwards proposed a total army of 220,00O regulars with the col CTS, backed by a reserve system which would bring it up to 500,0 900 within six years. A similar force of federal vol unteers also should be raised and par tially trained. he said, and in this plar
 he thought the organized militia shoulc
 be employed only as feeder system . to the volunteers because of the state
 aspects of their status.

ZEPPELIN BELIEVED LOST IN NORTH SEA May Have Been Struck By Fire of Dutch Anti
 Aircraft Guns

London February 3.-A Zeppelin air ship and probably all her crew has been lost in the North sea. It is possible she met her fate through the fire of Dutch anti aircraft guns.
 An English trawler reaching Grimsby reports having seen in the North sea the Zeppelin L-19 partly submerged and with from r to 20 men clinging to her gas envelope Aid was refused to the Ger mans because they outnumbered the trawler's crew.
 Fifty shots, some of which it is be- lieved hit her, were fired at a Zeppelin Wednesday morning as she flew low in a fog over the island of Ameland. off the coast of Holland. This airship. says an Amsterdam report, finally disap- peared northward course which would have taken her to the North sea- Thirteen men of the crew of the col Her Franz Fischer were drowned when the collier was sent to the bottom in two minutes by bomb dropped by one of the zeppelins returning from the raid made on England. Only three men of the Fischer were saved
 Heavy bombardments are in progress at various points along the western line, especially in the region of Loos, held by the British. and around Neuville. where the Germans recently captured French positions. The British are car rying out mining operations around Hull. luch. Near the Bois Des Buttes north of the Aisne the French put down . German attack.
 News is lacking concerning the opera tions in the Caucasus and in Mesopo- tamia. A Bucharest dispatch says the German Field Marshal von Sanders who was commander of the first Turkish army on the Gallipoli peninsula, has now been made commander of the Turkish troops in the Caucasus.
 An Austrian submarine in the Adriatic sea has captured from the Italians the North German Lloyd steamer Keonir Albert. which was seized by the Italians in the harbor of Genoa in 1914.

FIRST STEP TOWARD
 CONTROL 0F FLOODS
Standing Committee Named by House of Representa-
 tives to Study Problem

Washington, February 3-What was pronounced to be the first positive step on the part of the federal government toward the control of floods was taken today by the House when it passed a resolution creating a flood control committee as one of the standing com mittees. The resolution was intro duced by Speaker Clark and was adopt. ed by a practically unanimous vote after a speech by the speaker himself at the end of a four-hour debate. Speaker Clark said the purpose was to investigate the greatest economic problem of the next generation and to expedite the work of the House.
 The new committee is expected to make a painstaking scientific investi- gation of the whole subject of flood control, vitalizing movement that has been agitated in Congress for several years for coordination of forces that have had to do with internal water ways, floods and kindred subjects. There is pending in the Senate a bill by Senator Newlands to create a wa terways commission and a board of river regulation to promote commerce by development and improvement of waterways
 While the action of the House to- day does not provide directly for any such comprehensive scheme, senators and representatives agree that 1t opens the way for an official study of the waterway problem of the country that may lead to general reorganiza- tion of the system of regulations and improvement.

 Said Miss Black today: T believe in

 war if there was a chance of getting
 the peace nuts into the trenches,
 which there is not"
 When found, Holmes was busy prepar- ing statement to be delivered to the press. He was dictating. Miss Black was receiving the dictation. The man was deeply interested in expressing his grievance in that Madame Schwimmer, Ford partner in the enterprise had ac- cused him of plotting to make way with $5OO0 belonging to someone. Miss Black was interested in describing Madame Schwimmer, whom she persisted ill calling nut She fred,~-+Iv said dog -gone-it," and declared that thar term was the mildest she heard aboard the Oscar II, or after the party had landed
 Holmes declared that he was outraged when the charge against him reached his ears. He was asked why he did not go to Ford about it. He replied that Ford re- mained in his room and that the room was locked.
 Miss Black interposed with the remark : Locked from the outside, too.'
 She did not hesitate to add who, in her opinion. was in possession of the key.
