IN generally admitted in the industry that
a cessation of hostilities would bring
about radical changes IN market condi-

checked. although SOME important con-
tracts were closed. Aside from the buy
ing OF dynamite glycerinc. camphor and

quiet. The demand for Glycerire was
chiefly for shipment early in 1917. The
peace talk had little influence on alcohol.

placed the prices for bcnzoi and toluol
were irregular. Domestic dive makers

LAND COMPROMISE
Navy Head Opposes Legisla-

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Enorts Of q
Joint Cong ressional committee to agree
on legislation for the relief Of claimants
to lands In California naval oil reserves
came to an abrupt end to-day when The
Navy Department through Secretary
Daniels. refused to yield to, any compro-
misc proposals..
The attitude Of the navy imperils the
mineral lands conservation bill, which
has been before Congress for several
years, and, in the opinion OF committee
members. will prevent action at his ses-
sion.
The disagreement has been over the
phelan amendment. which woul grant
relief to private claimants OF California
oil lands affected by Government with
drawals of 1909. The committee pro-
posed remedial legislation for the Oali-
fornia claimants to eliminate from the
effect Of the pending leasing bill all
railroad lands and other patented lands
In the naval oil reserve and all claims
involving charges OF fraud. 1t would
grant preferential leases only to claim.

hat he had no knowledge Of the latter
having escaped from an English Intern
ment camp The reason for Denning him
up, Capt. Ransom said, was hat the coal
trimmer had declared his intention Of
leaving the ship and not returning.
After hearing arguments from Mr..

company. Judge Hough dismissed the
writ. declaring there was no Federal
statute to his knowledge which au-
thorized the use Of a writ OF habeas
corpus to get a foreign sailor n leave
Of absence. The coal trimmer. he added,
was in the position OF a stowaway.
Evans, who signed the petition for the
writ, was not In court during the argu-
ment. Mr.. Weinberg explained his alb
sence by saying that he feared trouble
might be made for Evans II he appeared.

Cullen said he had known Kerhahn In
England as a free lance journalist. He
was under the impression, ne said. h a
he had renowned his allegiance to Ger

When II became apparent that Judge
Hough was going to dismiss the writ OF
habeas corpus Mr.. Weinberger made a
motion that Farrell he held in port on
another White star Line ship until he
should have time to prepare further
briefs showing that the detention OF the
coal trimmer was a violation Of the
seaman's act.
The attorney for the White Star Line
replied that he would not agree to any
such arrangement, and Judge Hough
concluded the matter by saying he could
not compel Mr.. Beecher to act as Ker-
hahn's TALLER.

Washington headquarters:
THE recent disasters in the stock

not the worst features OF Secretary

THE worst feature was that any Gov

it so clumsily. even brutality.
"One may acquit Mr.. Lansing Of any
intention Of working the havoc which
ensued. but he surely should have had
sense enough to reduce his comment to
writing. to have studied Its purport. TO
have measured It's effect-and TO have
preserved a written copy of what he
spoke so hastily to The newspaper men.
oral statements are always subject
to distortion when reduced to type
through differing mediums. and such
statements always call for further ex-
PLANTATION. In this latter Mr.. Lansing
was Immediately prolific. but the lam
age had been done.
Unfortunately for the dignity Of

does not stand alone. Loosencss in the
use of language OF serious import has
been too frequent IN the last four years.
Statements that require explanations or
retractions within t~wenty-four hours

spect abroad.
