German Fleet is
Not Expected To
Meet the British
Tnternationnl News Service i.

international News Service:
BERLIN. May s. The German
public are talking a great deal of a
coming sortie of the German high
sea fleet and of the POSSIBILITY Of Il
great naval battle in ore bloH
changing the whole war situation.
In naval circles and among men
who have knowledge of naval mat
ters this opinion is not to be found.
German naval experts are fully
aware OF the hopelessness of tryIn z
10 force a decision of the high seas.
Before the war, they say. the Eng
lish first line consisted of 20 dread
noughts and Observation-Disclosures
and eight battle cruisers. against
Germanys Is dreadnoughts and
three battIe cruisers.
The number of battleships and
cruisers built here is a secret bu. il
is considered quite likely that Eng
land has been able 10 build twice
as many first class vessels as Ger
many in the last 20 months, 30 that
matters. iE spite of the losses suf-
fe.et by the British fleet, have GER
taiHIy not improved.
In gun power the German navy
is only One-third as strong as the
British. and While zoo years ago
daring attempt to wrest victory from
the enemy might have been riskcd
with some chance of success. It
would be suicidal today. when vic
tory is no LONGER matter Of human
courage and daring, but has been
reduced tC q mere series of mathe-
matical problems and inevitably falls
TO the side which is able 70 throw
the greatest amount Of steel the
longest distance and in the shortest
time.
This has already been shown in
this war at Coronel, at the Falklands
and at Dogeer bank.
As a matter of fact any German
with any insight into naval matters
ever believed that the German high
seas feet vas built to Eight the Ems
lish, although the masses Of the peo-
pie certainly thought so.
There was a time, in 1904 and
1905. under the British pacihcist
cabinet OF Capbell- Bannerman. when
Germany saw a chance of CATCHING
up with England because that coun-
try slaCkened hcr efforts in naval
construction, hut the awakening of
the English peoples belief in the
necessity of q strong navy came too
quickly for Germany.
The German navy department
quickly realized the futility Of try
ing 10 compete with Great Britain.
and limited its efforts TO the con-
strucuon of a navy strong enough
10 crush a combination Of powers
IN which England was not included
1t may therefore. be considered
| almost quite certain that not even
the strongest pressure of public opin-
1 ion Will ever induce the Germsa
navy department to send out the
/ lattle fleet
All Germanv's hopes in naval war
| fare are centered in the submarines
of which a large number is con-
stantly being built with an increas-
ing radius OF action.

London, Aug. 23.-On the presen-

adjournment of the House of Com
mons. for the summer vacation Col.
Winston Spencer Churchill, former
ly. First Lord of the Admiralty, ini-
tiated a debate on the conduct of the
war. He said there was no certain
ty of a speedy ending of the conflict.
German armies were more numerous
and better equipped than ever, but
what reserves they had was another
matter, he said. Col. Churchill urg-
ed the country to organize for a long
war and to put food supplies and
prices on a war basis. He also rec
commended the chartering of all ship
ping at admiralty rates TO end the
rise in freights, which he called a
national scandal. Instead of re-
stricting consumption by increased
prices, the government should con-
troll distribution of food supplies at
home and overseas. he said.

WILSON Threatens
To use veto POWER
LET 1T BE KNOWN THAT HE
WOULD NOT STAND FOR I'M
MIGRATION BILL.

Washington, Aug. 22.-President
Wilson let it be known today that
he would veto the immigration bill
If it came before him again with
the literacy test, and with that the
Senate defeated the motion to take
up the measure, and return to con-
sideration of the revenue bill.
The Presidents announcement.
which settled the question, arrived
just when the Democrats were con-
tinuing their party row over the ac-
ton of the nine revolving Democrats
who refused to be bound by the eau
Gus which decided to let the bill go
over, and the leaders of the revolt
were making caustic replies to the
.reproaches of Senator Stone.
On the Presidents word that he
would veto the bill, five of the re-
voting Democrats turned about and
voted against the motion to take it
up. They were Senators Beckham,
Chamberlain, Culberson, Lane and
Overman. They made the vote 80
to 23.
Senators Ashurst, Hardwick, My
ers, Smith, of South Carolina, and
Vardaman, all Democrats, however,
stuck to their votes to take it up.
The Senate's action means that eff
forts to consider the bill at this ses-
sion probably will be dropped.
President Wilson today vetoed a
bill allowing cities and townships to
buy public lands, including forest
lands, in their vicinity for parks,
cemeteries and sewerage. The Pres
ident vetoed the bill on the ground
that the national forests should not
be utilized in that way.

in 500 miles of the coast at o'clock

Admiral Mayo commands the red

MACCABEE SOLDIERS
RETAIN INSURANCE
LAWS OF ORDER AMENDED SO
MEMBERS MAY GO TO WAR
HOME TAX LEVIED.

Lexington, Ky. Aug. 22.-Col. M.
F. Elkin, State Commander of the
Maccabees, who returned from De-
troit, where he attended special re-
view of the Supreme Tent of the Or
der of Maccabees, reports the ses-
sion a most important one in that the
Maccabee law was amended to con-
form to the ritual of the order rela-
tive to the continuance in force of
insurance of members engaged in war
and the completion of arrangements
for the maintenance of the Macca-
bee Home at Pittsburg.
Heretofore laws OF the order con-
tanned a clause canceling insurance
of members enlisting as soldiers, this
was regarded as contradictory to the
ritual. For maintenance of the Mac
cabee Home at Pittsburgh, which is
for infirm, indignant and tuberculosis
members of the order, an additional
assessment of twenty cents per year
payable semi-annually was imposed
on all old members for a period OF
1--WE years, while on all new members
an extra of 81 was placed. There
are over 100000 Maccabees in the
United States and it is figured that
this nominal assessment will produce
sufficient revenue to support the in
stitution.

SURPRISES WASHINGTON
Announcement That Weed will Not
BE Permitted to Reach Germany
Unexpected.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Great Brit
ain has again blacklisted American
tobacco shipments into Germany and
Austria.
Announcement was made to-day
that Great Britain will stop all ship
ments after August 81, regardless Of
contracts American tobacco export
ers made with German firms when the
British embargo was lifted. 1t will
be utterly impossible for American
tobacco exporters even to get steam
ship transportation abroad by Au-
gust 81 to fill their present con-
tracts.
England's latest action came as a
complete surprise to Washington.
Only three weeks ago she agreed to
modify her order barring tobacco
shipments into Germany until Amer
lean firms filled all their present con-
tracts. Now she comes along with
new order, saying she will stop all
shipments after August 81. This
time is entirely too short, and the
State Department will ask for an ex-
tension pending a final settlement of
the whole tobacco shipment contro-
versy.
