 The chief advantage claimed for the arrangement suggested is that export food, largely a wetrend and middle western product will get shorter ha aul and that munitions and other nanu- factured products turned out lai:reIv in the east, will not be delayed.

To reach new labor centers where the skilled men can be found to do the work quickly it is indicated new engine building plants proposed will be placed in the interior.
 To Be Completed During 1918
 When vessels now under construc- ton have all been completed, which will be during 1918. the navy will have a destroyer force comparable to that will give the United States the strong est destroyer fiotilla in the world.
 Navy designers have already work cd out standard type of destroyer On which the quantity production ma chinery proposed will be employed. The new boats probably will not diff fer materially from the latest B knot, oil burning type. but will be better than any now in commission. They will be faster and more seaworthy. The new standardized designs. 1t is understood, include recommendations as to equipment made by Vice Admiral Sims and his officers, based on the actual experience of American destroy CTS in the North Sea.

SENATOR STONE CLAIMS
 PRESS IS ROUNDING HIM
Denies That He Even Thought of h.
 troducirg a Peace Resolution.

Washincton, Aug 29.-Chairman Stone. Of the senate foreign relations committee, interrupted the war tax debate in the seTate today with a speech. He denied that he had ever had thought of introducing a peace resolution and criticizing newspapers fer imputing such a motive.
 Because he recently submitted a let ter on peace from Amos Pinchot and others of alleged paCifst oreanization. Senator Stone said he had been vio- ientlY attacked in newspapers and pie turcd as q 'slacler. German sympa- thizer and even a German spy.''
 These publications have bounded me-" he said. because I presented this communication and said I might have some remarks later"
 He said the storm against him started merely from presentation of d peace petition from humble. repre- sentative Americans
 The charge that he is a German sympathl was said bv Senator Stone 10 be 'too ludicrous for specific de- nial' He said he had not drop of German blood and that his Engiish ancestry is clearer than the British kings
 T am willing to go to war to pre- serve the civilization of the En@Esh speaking people of the world ie for a moment I believed their civilization was imperilled," continued Senator Stone.
 T did oppose having the United States enter the war a beliigerent and every day I live confirms me in the wisdom of that action"
 But now that this country is at war, he added. he would do everything within his power to aid it in carrying the struggle to a successful termina- ton. He asserted that since war was declared he had supported every war measure introduced in congress and denounced editors who had called him an obstructionist and an ally of Ger many.

New York. Aug. 29-The most se- rIous street disturbance this city has experienced since "Soap box oratory became an issue between the authori- ties and critics of the government oc- cured tonight at an ope nair meeting of the Friends of Irish Freedom. Sev- eral men and women were arrested. The police had to fight their way through a turbulent crOwl in order to get their prisoners to- the night court where the uprOar increased to such proportions that police reserves had to be summoned to disperse the mobs.
 stephen Johnson, organizer of the Friends of Irish Freedom and John D. Moore, ex-secretary. were among those arrested. The Friends of Irish Free dom have been holding nightly meet ings at Broadway and Thirty seventh street. but tonight when Moore and a number of other speakers reached the corner they found a recruiting meet ing in progress and they moved down to the Thirty-fifth street corner. The crowd which had assembled at Thirty seventh street to hear the Friends paid little heed to appeals from the young officers for recruits and when Moore and others of the party appear ed they followed him to the new meet ing place.
 Meant me the crowd had grown un- til the police estimated that fully D. 900 persons were packed in the street. Johnson arose to speak. He referred to the recruiting party as an Anglo Saxon plot of Mayor Mitchell and the board of magistrates to throttle free speech" and defied the police to stop the meeting.
 A policeman walked quietly up to the platform and whispered to John son that he was under arrest ard Johnson quickly shouted the fact to the crowd. He urged them to keep quiet.
 Shaun Conway. another speaker, talked only a few minutes when he was arrested. When Conway was re- moved from -he platform Moore is said can flag. began his speech. paying par ticular attention to Great Britain He wes arrested and the crowd grew bois- ees-ols.

SURPRISED BY PRESIDENTS
 PROMPT REPLY TO POPE
Entente Representatives Believe He Must Have Had Some Good Reason.

Washington. Aug. 29.-Discussion of President Wilson's rejection of the pope's peace proposals in diplomatic circles today revealed that even some O fthe entente governments were un- prepared for the prompt faS Shion in which the president disposed of a mat ter of such tremendous importance
 There had been no doubt at any time as to the general nature of the reply and that the United States was gener- ally looked on as the nation to speak first, but some of the allied foreign offices, accustomed to long, deliberated moves in diplomacy, regarded the ex- changes that had been going on be- tween Washington and their own capi- tals as barely completed. They had rather expected further discussion of the time for despatching replies.
 The entente representative in Wash dent Wilson must have had some good son for acting so quickly. Specu- lation ascribes the move to a desire to impress favorably the great Russian convention at Moscow while that body still is in a plastic aud receptive state It also was suggested that the presi- dent might have wished to anticipate by his remarks ble state paper obstruc- tive acticn by the pacific elements in and out of congress in the United States
 No rejoinder from the vatican is expected here in the immediate future Comment from the press of Europe including Germany and Austria. is waited with interest.

EFFORT TO BREAK
 CHILD LABOR LAW
Cotton Mill Inte-eato Contend That Federal Law Violates States Rights.

Greensboro. \. C.. Aug. 29--Cotton mill interests began their fg4ft before Federal Judge Boyd here today to t.real< down the federal child labor law Argument by an imposing ar ray of counsel over the contention that the statute violates the constitu- ton and invades states rights, con- stunned the entire day and will be con- tinued tomorrow.
 The case is in an injunction suit brought against the United States dis trict attorney in the name of a fath- (. rseeking to prevent a local mil from discharging two minor :'ons 10 whose wages he claimed to he ent1tl- ed.
 Professor Roscoe Pound, de1n of law of Harvard University, and Profes- sor Thomas I. Parkinson of Columbia University, appear as leading coHn- sel for the department Of justice while Junius Parker of New ork, heads the attorneys fer the plaintiffs
 Tn his opening address MT. Parker declared that the act is fundamental- lv at odds with the law of the nation and that it does not prohibit child la hor nor the inter$tate commerce Tn rroducts of such labor because Of the opportunity for evasion under the clause specifying that the act snail apply only to goods produced in plant which has been in operation within thirty days before shipment IS attempted He said congress went beyond the delegated powers of the federal government and moreover. that the act violates the' fifth amendment in that it takes property without due process of law.
 Professor Pound argued that the national legislature has the right and the duty to take into consideration the "repugnance the majority of peo- rIe might feel to having brought to their homes goods made by childish hands and to pass a law to forbid the use of channels of interstate com merce to the spread of such articles"
