CBy International News Service

New York, July l7.-Sharks are the un-
disputed masters of the Atlantic coast.
The Federal government today aban-
doned its proposed campaign of extermin-
alton along the New Jersey coast.
The enemy were too numerous. The
governments marine experts acknowl-
edged that the coast is in a state of
blockade by living submarines.
Bathers must look after their own
safety. Torpedo net barriers are being
installed wherever there are bathing

Leaders OF socialism who have been ex-

propaganda, take little comfort in the
statements made by the sociahstic Rep
resentative yesterday.
II am not in favor of legislation that

enough industrial problems and other
genuine socialistic measures that will

this statement when informed that Bos-

to have him introduce legislation that

WILSON FAVORS
new BUILDINGS
President Unohcially O. KS
City Beautiful Hous-
ing Plan.

Substantial improvements, that will
beautify the District through the erection
of monumental buildings for the housing
of government departments. are favored
by President Wilson it was learned. un-
officially, yesterday.
Those who have reached the ear of the
Chief Executive to advocate the construc-
ton of new buildings for government and
District activities have found him a very
sympathetic listener and a strong sup
porter of measures that will make the
seat of government a greater source of
beauty for Capital visitors.
There is some doubt as to how the
President will look upon the pending bill
of the House Committee on Public Build
ing and Grounds, although its proponents
are certain that he will sign the measure
If it passes through Congress.
President Wilson is said by those who
have discussed District Improvements
with him to favor payment for these
buildings by a bond issue. rather than
having them included as separate items
in an omnibus appropriation bill.
This program does not meet with the
Congress, who believe in a general bill
that provides for all sections Of the
country.
When their wishes were made known to
the President, he acceded to the extent
Of favoring certain items now included in
the public buildings and grounds report
made to the House yesterday.
As a matter OF economy and a desire to
heautify the city, it is understood that
the Presidents wishes in this respect
may soon be Incorporated in a separate
bill providing for a bond issue to meet
the cost Of such improvements.
