resolution already framed in which was
demanded constitution protected by
Germany in a Baltic state irde pendent
of Russia. This resolution was only
accepted by eighteen members of the
Diet
"The German administration then de
voted itself to procuring the vote Of a
new resolution which was slightly dif-
ferent. For this end no means OF press
urc was neglected, representatives of
small land proprietors We're appointed
to the Diet by the heads of q comm S

and that is what is called represent

Hurley Acts to Get
Coal for Vessels
He Will Improve Bunkering
Facilities at Atlantic. Gulf
and Other Ports
[Staf Cores pondsncel


WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Ship
ping Board to-day announced its intcn-
ton to make survey of terminal ia
cilities at the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf
ports with the intention of improving
bunkering equipment. Chairman Hur-
ley has invited the cooperation of the
railroad administration, the Navy De-
partment and the transportation dlvls-
ions of the food and fuel administra-
tions.
During the last winter, it is pointed
out, oversees transport was consider
ably delayed on account OF inadequate
bunkering facilities. In many cases
vessels were compelled to bunker from
barges and lighters. 1t is further said
that many ships were. not bunkered to
capacity. In other cases vessels which
received their cargoes at one port were
obliged to steam to another port for
coal.
With the great expansion of the
American merchant marine now under
way, it is pointed out, failure to provide
ample bunkering equipment would Sc
riously retard the movement of vessels.
Besides the considerable port devel-
opnents now being constructed it is
probable, it was stated to-day, that the
government will invest considerable
money in improving the terminal coal
handling machinery.
