Business Along Water Front

is being generally observed by the
business houses along the water front.
The few that did open this morning
closed before noon and gave their em-
ployes the rest of the day off. AT the
fish wharf business was conducted as
usual in the early morning hours, but
early in the day most of the houses
closed and only reopened to receive
fish coming in.
The steamers of the Norfolk line had
a full passenger list out last night and
the steamer st. Johns. which yesterday
evening made her first trip of the sea-
son to Colonial Beach, carried good
crowds both last night and on the trip
this morning.
The steamer Charles Manchester also
was well filled on her morning trip to
Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall, and
large throngs' are looked for on the
trips this afternoon and tonight.
In spite of the cooler weather the
owners of many pleasure craft. with
their families and parties of friends

once, when he had 700 prisoners and
a prize. he allowed them to go in free
dom on the vessel rather than send
them to a nearby port where there was
yellow fever. Compare these actions
with the methodical and organized bru-
tallty of the German military authori-
ties in this war. and then brand with
shame the American traitors who seek
to aid Germany by asserting that we.
if given the chance. would be guilty of
atrocities like those she has COM
mitted."
Col Roosevelt declared that I've must
have in this country but one flag, and
for the speech of the people but one
language, the English language. Dur
ing the present war all newspapers

to publish, side by side with the for
eign text. columns in English contain
ing the exact translation Of everything
said in the foreign language. Ulti-
mately this should be done with all
newspapers published in foreign
tongues in this country.
Universal suffrage should be based
on universal service in peace as well as
war;" said Col. Roosevelt. in concluding
his address. Those who refuse to
render the one should have no title to
the enjoyment Of the other. We stand
against privilege, therefore against th g
privilege which would escape service in
war.
I'VE must fight with steadfast endur-
ance, until we win the peace of over
whelming victory for Righteousness,
and even while thus fighting we must
prepare the way for the peace eH in

FRAMED ALONG SCIENTIFIC
LINES AS FAR AS POSSIBLE

In statement showing that the re-
publican members of the Senate finance
committee have co-operated heartily
with the democrats in framing the war
revenue bill. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts declared that the bill is framed
as far as possible along scientific lines.
He paid a special tribute to Senator
Simmons. whom he accredited with a
thorough knowledge Of the difficult
subjects the committee has had under
daily consideration for some weeks.
Il have had some experience In franz
ing fiscal legislation. and 1 desire to
say that I never have seen a committee
and with such complete absence of par
tisanship. i cannot speak too highly of
the work of Chairman Simmons of the
committee. Senator Simmons has worked
night and day on the bill and presided
at all meetings Of the committee with
patience. tact and a thorough knowl-
edge Of every branch of the compli-
engaged. He has shown remarkable
constructive power In the making of
the bill. He deserves the highest praise,
and 1 hope he will receive the cordial
support Of the Senate.
II think the bill is an extremely good
ber of the committee is satisfied with
every detail or every point, but as
whole 1t is an admirable piece of work.
1t is based as far as possible on scientf-
fc principles of taxation. We have
heard fully from all interests affected
of the best economists in the country,
Prof. Bullock of Harvard and Prof.
Seligman of Columbia of the tariff com
mission. No committees could have
worked more conscientiously."

PREDICT MORE STRIKES
AMONG SHIPBUILDERS
Labor Leaders Say More Men Will
Walk Out Unless Wage Demands
Are Granted.

NEW YORK. Judy with about
2.5Go metal workers. boilermakers.
patternmakers. riveters and black
smiths employed at the shipyards In
this district on strike, labor leaders
predicted further walkouts during the
day unless the employers submit to
the mems demand. The strikers ask
an increase in wages of about so cents
day.
Many of the 12.0o0 men employed in
the shipbuilding plants declined to
join the strikers on the ground that
doing so would be a blow to the gov
ernment's war preparations. These men
announced they would finish all gov
ernment work despite orders of the
union leaders.
The union leaders denied the strike
order was a fight for recognition Of
the Marine Trades Council with the
wage increase as a blind and the war
work as an opportunity. They ad-
mitted the employers had been asked
to meet their own shop committees.
but this invitation the employers have
SO far declined to accept.

Thinks Spies of Germans
Are Working on the Inside
in Departments in CAPITAL

That German spies. working on the
inside. IN all probability. in one or more
of the government departments. aided
in conveying information to Germany
regarding the movement of the Ameri-
can transports bearing the Pershing
expedition to France, was the opinion
expressed today by Senator Chamber
lain of Oregon. chairman Of the Senate
military affairs committee.
1T seems a great shame that there
should be such people in this country
said Senator Chamberlain. III they
should be found. they should be strung
up without delay and without the cour-
tesy of a trial by jury"
Senator Chamberlain said he believed
the German spies were in .communica-
tion with Germany throughSMexicoa and
Venezuela. He said there We're many
ways in which the information could be
sent into Mexico and thence to Venezuela,
where. he had been told. it was wireless
ed. probably by relay. to Germany In
formation concerning this system of
the transmission Of messages, he said,
had come to him and had been forwarded

THINK THAT SPIES
WERE GIVEN TIPS
Authorities Seeking Source Of
"leak" on Sailing of Troops
to France.

Investigations are being made
by the Department of Justice and
other agencies of the govern
ment to ascertain, il possible,
how the Germans apparently OBJ
tanned such prompt and accurate
information regarding the move
ments of the transports carry
ing United States troops to
France as to be able to locate
and attack them in the open
ocean outside the limits OF the
so-called submarine zone.
There is SO much concern and specu-
lation on the subject that 1t may re-
eeive consideration in Congress. Exact
ly how the information leaked out is
not known, but II is intimated that it
went from New York about the time
the transport fleet sailed. That impress
sion Is based on the fact that the actual
departure of the fleet was well known
in shipping circles in that city, and also
on the fact that a newspaper in that city
about that time published an interview
with an official Of the Red Cross in
which complaint was made Of the poor
accommodations on the trains that had
brought the troops to the seaboard This
interview indicated that the transports
carrying the troops had just put to sea-

German spies in this country are sup

France. What measures the govern
ment took to prevent information of
this character from reaching Germany
1s not known. There is q censorship on
al outgoing Ca bles. but the idea has
oeen prevalent that this supervision is
not SO close as 1t should be-
according to gossip, which may be
based on nothing more than suspicion,
the Germans are getting tips on war
plans In the United States through
south America and Spain. There is no
censorship on mail matter going from
the United States into Mexico, and one
theory that has been advanced Is that
German agents in Mexico receive mill
tary Information by mail from this
country and telegraph it to some South
American city, whence it is cabled to
Spain and from there telegraphed to
Germany In some quarters this theory
Is disputed on the ground that the
United States is believed to have taken
measures to prevent a process of - ~
sort from being carried out
So far as official information is con-
cerned there were no developments to-
day to throw any special light on the
subject Secretary Daniels and AS
sistant Secretary Roosevelt were away
from their desks today and the army
and naval censors refused to discuss the
matter in any phase.
