BRITISH MERCHANT SAILORS
 COMPLAIN ABOUT PAY.
tBy United press)

BUENoS AIRES. April 3, - British merchant sailors who visit this port are beginning to growl seriously about their pay. The Herald recently pub lished an article signed "The Purser," which said. in part:
 Many officers and men in the Brit ish merchant service feel deep down in their hearts that there must be something inherently unfair in a state of things that drives tip capital value of the ships wherein they serve to fabulous heights, which creates dividends that even the approximation of war profits cannot reduce to nor mal dimensions, and withal leaves sal aries more or.less where it found them. It is gall and wormwood to them.''

WASHINGTON, D. c., March a.
The next move in the program Of put,

armed neutrality to deal with Germany
was delayed in the Senate today BY
objections of some members based on
the exigencies of parliamentary sit.
uation until four o'clock.
At that hour an effort viii be made
to substitute for the armed neutrality
bill which last night passed the House
the Senate bill which confers on the
President the authority to use "other
instrumentalities" in addition to arm
ing merchant ships.
This bill has the backing of the ed
ministration and is expected 70 be Ia
ter accepted by the House.
The official notice of the Berlin adj
mfralty that all consideration for ship
ping ended on March 1 and that the
campaign Of ruthlessness now Is In

ton any although its hold declaration
that no Special warning viii be given

This seemed to confirm the belief
Of many that the President probably

he certainly knew of it when, urging
