NEWPORT NEWS. VA. August 1S.-
1t is reported here that the Rookie
Teller interests will build a railroad
from the Northern West Virginia coal
fields direct to Newport News as soon
as possible. This Is to be an emergency
road for coal only. and is to be built
on account Of conditions arising out
OF the war.
James A. Somnerville. who has Just
returned from trip through the VAL
ley of Virginia. says that many per-
sons OF that section already nave sold
property to be used ~ a right of way
for the RAILROAD. He says the inter-
ests who bought tho right OF way said
that the terminal was to be at New

The Virsinian Railway taps the
southern coal fields Of West Virginia,
and this road is to tap the northern
fields. Agents for the railroad inter-
ests who arc buying the right Of way
In Northwest Virginia say that New
port News IS to be the greatest coal
terminal on the Western Hemisphere.
Many persons IN that section already
have received pay for their land, &C.
cordinE to Mr.. Sommerville, and others
have given options.
The projected road will start in tho

is for or against the Stockholm peace
conference. The Premier. quoting a
telegram from the Russian dictator. to
the full purport Of which there have
been only vague references 30 far, as
serted that kerensky does not favor
tho conference.
This Henderson denies. He accuses
Lloyd George of having placed a mis-
leading Interpretation on the Russian
Prime Minister'S message. But even
II this were 80. Henderson and his
followers assert. Kerensky's opposition
would not alter the view Of British
labor. Two Russian delegates now
here declare that neither would 1t al
ter the determination of the Russian
Socialists to go to Stockholm.
The embarrassing fact about this
Kerensky message Is that the manifold
interpretations OF it threaten to SOW
new discord in Russia II the Rus
sian Socialists are led to believe by
some OF these interpretations that ke-
rensky tried to block the peace con-
fab. they will try their might and
main to make new trouble for him.
1t is feared.
But the worse feature of the whole
situation is that 1t is becoming more
and more likely that Russians and
Germans will meet alone at Stockholm
Ahu VI INC herman designs on Russian
impressionability. grave things for the
entente are feared.
FRENCH SOCIALIST LEADER
ABOUT IN SAME POSITION
Meanwhile. In France the Socialist
leader and minister Of munitions, AL
bert Thomas. is In virtually the same
position In which Henderson found
himself here last week. He fully in
dorses tho decision Of the Socialist
partys executive committee to send
ten delegates to Stockholm. His po-
sition as member of the Cabinet thus
becomes untenable. since the French
government had come out against the
conference. On the other hand, his
parting OF the ways with the govern
ment would greatly aggravate the sit
uation. for the French Socialists al
ready have declared war on the Ribot
ministry.
The French Socialist delegates' main
purpose at Stockholm is to discuss the
responsibility OF the war. Like the
British Laborites. they want the meet
ing to be merely consultative, not
binding. The Russians want II to be
binding. The German Socialists have
declared they will refuse to attend II
the responsibility for the war is to be
one of the subjects Of discussion.

NEW PLAN O
MERCHANT MARINE

While efforts heretofore made TO
stimulate the upbuilding of our mer-
chant marine have been largely con-
fined TO mail %subventions and sug-
gested direct subsidies, Congressman
Clifton N. Macarthur of Oregon has
approached the subject from a new
angle by proposing that the govern
ment shall guarantee the. interest and
principle of bonds of companies that
may be formed for the purpose of OPP
Grating ships in our foreign COM
merce. Mr.. Macarthur has embodied
his ideas in a bill, and in order that
the measure may promote actual
growth in the merchant marine it is
provided that no vessel now under the
American flag, or any vessel under q
foreign flag owned in part by Ameri-
can citizens, shall benefit under tue
legislation. Representative Macarthur
hopes to secure the Endorsement OF
the House committee for his bill,
which he believes will result in much
practical benefit.
