Impressment Of
American Shipping
Causing Friction

Washington, March 7.-Measures
to meet Great Britain's action in fore
ing American ships to carry British
supplies are under consideration by
the federal shipping board. President
Wilson's proclamation prohibiting the
transfer of American ships TO foreign
registry without the boards Iermis-
sion, it is said, will be Used as 1
weapon to stop the British practices.
The situation has been made acute
by the continued detention of the
schooner Matte Newman Of New
York, held at Liverpool for several
months by inability to make needed
repairs because its master will not
agree to carry war supplies.
American ship owners have made
bitter complaint against British ef-
forts to coerce them into the coal
trade between Britain and France and
of attempts to force them to carry
munitions. American ships that have
run short Of coal in British ports, it
is declared, have been compelled TO
agree to take coal cargoes to France
before the British authorities would
permit them bunker coal.
One purpose of amendments TO the
shipping bill. lost ir the final days
OF the last congress, was to give the
teard more power IN this respect.
they would have permitted the ,oard
to refuse foreign registry to ships
now being built in American yards.
As many Of these vessels are being
con- uucted for British capital, the
board il is pointed out, would have
had powerful weapon with which
to compel Great Britain to respect
the rights OF American owners. :
The shipping board, it is under
stood, also intends TO take up the
question OF coaling American ships
in the Pacific. Vessels sailing from
San Francisco to Manila have been
forced to take note of British ad-
miralty restrictions because they had
to coal at British coaling stations in
China before reaching their destina.

Wilson Reappoints
Gen. Scott Chief of
Staff Of the Army

Washington, March Major Cen
eral Scott was redetailed as chief of
staff Of the army by President Will
son. Because of his intimate associa-
ton with the secretary OF war the
chief of staff has to be reappointed
when a new administration begins
during his term.
General Scott will serve until next
September under the ordinary pro-
cedure, when he will reach the retire.
ment age. In the event of war, how
ever, he would continue in active serv-
ice without regard to the age limit.
AS chief of staff during the last
three years, General Scott led the
fight OF staff officials for reorganiza-
ton of the army, eliminating in his
appeal to the congressional military
committees for universal military
service. In the latter move he acted
on his own initiative, as neither Pres
ident Wilson nor Secretary Baker had
reached any conclusion on the sub
ject. General Scott, in a carefully
prepared statement, laid before the
committees the conclusion of staff
officers that the volunteer system had
shown itself inherently inadequate.

KING GUSTAV ASKS
CABINET TO STICK
Swedish Monarch Says Change
in Government Would Be
Misconstrued.
SWEDEN STAYS NEUTRAL

Berlin, Tuesday, March 6.-(By
Wireless to Tuckerton, March ~
The address OF King Gustav Of
Sweden in requesting the cabinet to
retain office after the members had
rendered their resignation is quoted
in an Overseas News agency (the Ger
man official news bureau) dispatch
today as follows:
Il understand the difficulties which
caused your resignation. l have, how
ever, full confidence in my actual
councillors, who are well acquainted
with the extraordinary conditions Gre
ated by the world war. A change OF
government under the present circum-
stances would not only occasion great
difficulties, but might be interpreted
as meaning a deviation in one direc-
ton or the other from the imperial
policy Of neutrality strictly adhered
to hitherto and which | am firmly re-
solved to maintain in the future.
For this reason, considering the
responsibility Of my position, | can
not now accede to your request. |
beg you insistently to make all efforts
to find a way out Of the difficulties
which caused your resignation. |
therefore ask you to remain in your
ohices which | entrusted to you and
hope that such a way out may be
found"
The Swedish ministry resigned
Monday, but at the request OF King
Gustav consented to remain in office
in the hope of arranging the crisis.
The resignation followed the defeat
of the government in parliament the
previous Saturday on a governmental
request for the appropriation of 3d.
100000 crowns to be used in preserv-
ing Sweden's neutrality, only one
third OF the sum requested being
granted.

Change Is Slight.
The resolution is changed only
slightly from that virtually agreed
upon last night by the conference
committee OF ten and which was ap-
proved by the senate rules committee
several months ago. The most i'm
portant change was the addition to-
day by the conferees of the provision
that except by unanimous consent
amendments will not be in order after
the cloture has been adopted. This
was done to prevent substitutes COM
ing in at the last moment when there
would be little time for their con-
sideration before vote must be
taken.
Senator Smith of South Carolina
talked about the possibility OF force
bill under republican domination OF
the senate if cloture rule is put in
effect. The party conferes, however,
made it plain that the two-thirds plan
was the best they could hope to get
without prolonged struggle.
Wilson Sees Demos.
Earlier in the day, President Wilson
conferred with democratic leaders OF
the senate on the proposed change in
the rules.
The democratic caucus adjourned
after electing Senator Hitchcock as
vice chairman and ex officio member
of the steering committee. With Sem
ator Martin, as chairman of the COM
mittee on committees, the following

|BRITONS BUT THIRTY
MILES FROM BAGDAD
Turkish Army Expected to
Make Stand at Ctesiphon,
but Nine Miles Away.
MANY GUNS CAPTURED

London, March british cavalry
had advanced within nine miles Of
Ctesiphon, on the Tigris front, on
Monday afternoon, it was announced
officially today. The statement fol-
lows:
"On Monday afternoon British cav
airy were engaged with the Turkish
rear guard at Lajj, nine miles south
east of Ctesiphon, Mesopotamia.
Owing to the fact that the war
material abandoned by the enemy is
strewn over eighty miles OF the coun-
try, it is not yet possible to give an
accurate and full list Of Our cap
lures. The collection OF booty and
the salvage of guns, etc, which were
thrown INTO the river is being pro-
ceeded with and up to the present
thirty-eight guns, including those on
captured river craft, have been col
lected, exclusive OF machine guns and
trench mortars."
The British are now within less
than thirty miles OF Bagdad. The
town OF Lajj, which was reached on
Monday, is twenty-eight miles from
that city. Since the fall OF Kut-El-
Amara on February 70 the British
have advanced eighty miles.
On account OF the nature of the
ground between kut-El-Amara and
Ctesiphon, which is but poorly
adapted to defensive purposes, it has
been predicted by military writer's
that the Turks would make no serious
attempt to halt their retreat until
Ctesiphon was reached and that de-
cisive engagement probably would
come at that point. 1t was there
that the deciding battle in the cam
paign of 1915 was fought. The Brit
ish won all initial victory, only to
fall back III the face of Turkish re-
Inducements. The siege OF Kut-El-
Amara and the surrender OF General
Tcwnshend to the Turks followed

SELECT ENLISTED
men FOR OFFICERS
Colonies Directed to Designate
5000 Soldiers for Officers
in New Army.
WILL TRAIN VOLUNTEERS

Washington, March The War
department has directed that between
5000 and 5000 enlisted men OF the
army be designated by regimental
commanders for commission as COM
pany officers in whatever army may
be raised. Orders have been sent to
each regiment to select sixty men
who will be eligible for commissions
up to and including captains.
The designation OF the men will be
on their military aptitude, nc. by ex-
animation. The departmer t, as a
precautionary step, it was explained,
desired to establish this list OF men
deemed fit for commissions by officers
under whom they have served. Pre-
sumably the non-commissioned per-
sonnet will .upply the largest num-
Der.
Ii is possible that a similar list
will be compiled among the National
Guard regiments. If volunteer army
OF any size we're summoned to the
colors these men would be drafted
for training duty as officers OF the
volunteers. The officers reserve
corps will furnish additional; officers,
some OF the rank of major, but, as
less than 1000 men are now enrolled
in the corps, it could not supply SUI
ficient officers for the volunteers.
The department is conducting a
vigorous campaign to increase the Of
ficers' reserve corps. Efforts are be-
ing made to enroll fifty men in each
congressional district. Military apti-
tude, rather than experience with
troops or present knowledge of mill
tary matters, will be the governing
factor in their examination.
The regular army may suffer in ef-
ficiency il its best enlisted men are
withdrawn for duty with volunteers,
but there is no other way, officers say,
to provide an adequate training force,
even for a volunteer force OF 100000
men.
If 100000 or more were to be
trained, officers for the force would
have to be selected from the first
100000 organized, the regular estab-
lishment at present not being capable
OF supplying more than enough fully
trained officers for higher commands
and special service details requiring
technical skill. In effect, the regu-
lars will have to train first the force
that is to train the volunteer army
if big force is to be raised.

Norris, though in somewhat guarded
manner. Minority Leader Peterson
objected to immediate consideration

 With the end of the concert came an end of the lull outside, because it was the night when the "ravitailment'' or re-victualling trains were due to arrive, this fact being already well known to the Germans, as the doctor explained. So the shells began to whistle some more and in more fre- quent numbers, while we sat inside trusting there would be no call to go, because it was only too evident from the proximity of the bursting shells that they had the range of that road rather accurately recorded. But luck was not with us. as three slightly wounded were brought in and we re- them, they were not badly wounded and could all sit up. for question if a badly hit fellow would ever have survived that trip which followed. < After this all was quiet again except fer an occasional arrive which would come whistling over our heads and break somewhere, doubtless along the read which was the customary tar get and object of the German Vesper Hymn of Hate. During the lu1l we sat in the doorway of the poste with the docter, singing a few American ragtime tunes to the accompaniment of their beating out the syncopated time. This finally led to a lot. of organized noise which the doctor hu- morously termed 'Le Grand Band d A. which played everything from

 With the shells dipping over us we might have gotten very nervous II we had had time to think about them.

This measure would prohibit intra-state

to protect the puolic by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-

accept '~extracts" of cod liners think
ing they will get the benefits of an

The difference Is very great. An

which has had the hearty endorse

many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
