lands final attitude.
Whether the Netherlands govern
ment actually accepts or rejects the

The Cabinet meeting yesterday is
understood to have approved the
stand that the action Is fully war
ranted by the extreme needs of the
allies for transportation.
As prepared, the proclamation is
understood to direct Secretary Daniels
to take physical possession of the
ships in the name of the United

Similar action by Great Britain
would Immediately follow.
Secretary Daniels has been in New
York for several days with all his
plans ready to send naval reserve
officers aboard the ships and hoist the
American flag at daylight today. Most
of the ships, as cargo carriers only,
will be operated by the Shipping
Board. Only those suitable for trans
port duty will be operated by the
navy, though all will have American
naval gun crews aboard if they go
through the danger zone.
Action would have been taken
early in the day. it was learned last
night. except that advices from
London were confused. 1t was not

representing the United States and
Great Britain throughout the nego-
tiation were merely awaiting the

When Companies Taken
Over, Commissioners to

Taking over of the Districts gas

well as the city's telephones and
street railways, is recommended in
bill which Representative Cary.
of Wisconsin, introduced in the
House yesterday afternoon. 1t will
receive attention of the House Dis
trict Committee as soon as possible.
Representative Cary's bill would
vest the Commissioners with power
to operate the plants and to issue
bonds, running fora period Of so
years, payable out of the revenues
of the gas and electric lighting
companies, to defray the cost of TAX
ing them over.
Bill AlI-Inelusiye.
1t is stipulated in the bill that
by gas and electric lighting sys-
TENS" is meant every plant located
in the District for the purpose of
the manufacture, distribution or
supply of Illuminating gas. or gas
for fuel purposes, or electric power
for Illuminating purposes, includ-

representative Cary's bill is
modelled after Representative Cross

April .. 1917, which provided for
the acquisition by the Commission

By the terms of the bill the Com

able for the efficient and economi-

deem necessary for the proper con-
duct of the condemnation proceed
ings as provided for in the bill for
the acquisition of the title, possess
sion and control of such gas and
electric lighting system. and such
expenses shall be payable by the
treasurer.
Owing to the many other meas
ures awaiting the early considera-
tion of the District House Commit
tee and the House itself. it is
doubtful whether this bill will be
acted upon very soon unless it is
taken up out of its turn.
