LONDON, Nov. Sir Albert Stan
ley until recently president Of the
British government board of trade,
has just returned to London after an
extensive tour in America, where he
was formerly a railroad manager. He
brought back the advice that In a
nearer approximation to American
proficiency lies the hope of industrial
Britain IL she is to retain her posi-
ton in the world.
THE extraordinary energy, vitality
and initiative OF the American people
are remarkable" he said in an inter-
view printed here for English con-
sumption. There Is a spirit of prog
ress and development apparent every
where. -
zone thing that appealed to me as
noteworthy was the, almost astound-
ing use of motor cars. Not to be the
owner Of a car appears to be the
exception, rather than the rule among
Americans. The popularity of the
motor car is directly due to the high
ly effcient manner in which the
manufacturers have concentrated on
mass production, with a consequent
cheapening of the vehicle. The
manufacturers believe that in a rea-
sonable time every family in the
United States will be able to own a
car"

TACTICS D|LATORY

BERLIN. Nov. 2.-Germany made
peace proposals in 1916, simultaneous
with President Wilson's mediation
offer, because she wanted two irons
in the fire."
DR.. Theobold Won Bethmann-HoIl-
week. then German chancellor, made
this explanation while under cross
examination today before the Reich
stag committee Investigating con-
duct of the war.
We desired to have two iron in
the nre' so as TO avail ourselves of
which ever proved the more favor
able" he said. Then he defended the
Governments failure to inform Will
son beforehand of Germans intention
on the ground that "the effect of our
offer of December u, 1915, depended
upon its unexpectedness"
Even the Reichstag was sur
prised.' he said. 1T would have been
POLITICALLY impudent to have given
out any advance information"
The old diplomat who startled the
committee yesterday by declaring
that the German people themselves
desired military over-lordship" and
that Field Marshal Won Hindenbure
was all-powerful in Germany during
the war, told the committee today
that Wilson was honest but dill
tory" He cited Count Won BernstorfY,
former ambassador to the United
states. as one of his authorities for
this conclusion. He said Won Bern

j. S. FUEL STATIONS
TO G|RDLE WORLD
BY JEAN KNOTT.

Fuel stations to girdle the world to
aid Americas merchant marine in its
efforts to gain a share of the world
trade is the plan OF the Shipping
Board, according to an announcement
here.
In addition to stations at the Pana-
ma canal and st. Thomas, it was an
nounced, arrangements have been
made for establishing stations at the
Azores, Bizerta, small French is
land off Tunis, and at Manila
Despite what has been DONE" said
]. III. Rossiter, director of the Ship
ping Boards division of operations,
we feel that we are still at the
threshold of the major part of the
question, this involving an increase
in storage capacity of fuel stations
and additional tank steamships for
transporting oil to them. We must
also take into account the fact that
we must now carry oil to our At
lantic seaports; not only from Mexico,
but from the Texas and Louisiana
fields as well. ~
Finally we must awake to the i'm
portance OF encouraging the estab-
lishment of national interest in 9TH
er known and probable oil regions of
the world. For two years our Brit
ish friends have been admirably di-
ricting their attention to new oil re-
gions, notably those of Colombia
Venezuela, and Ecuador, and also to
the fields of the Levant, in which it
is surmised that the fields of Turkey
promise results exceeding the output
Of the great oil fields OF California,
which the Turkish fields are said to
resemble"

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The practical i'm
possibility to obtain living quarters
in Paris is exemplified by the plight
of President Poncaire. who so far has
been unable to find a suitable apart

for next February. He expects to be
obliged to go to hotel and store

nothing in the present situation which
demands attention from the President,
i'm view of the fact that several
amendments orc to be disposed OF be-
fore the reservations can be taken
up. 1t is not believed that these
amendments will be out OF the way
before the middle of this week.
May Oppose November Il Vote.
The proposal made by Senator Lodge
to fix November IL as the date for
the final vote on the treaty probably
will receive opposition from the
Democratic side if it is not objected
to by Senator Borah. Senator Hitch
cock intimated today ne viii be COM
PEELED to object to any request at this
time to fix the time for the tnal vote
unless the conditions are so drawn as
10 preclude the possibility of all the
time of the debate being taken up
by one or two Senators.
81 am not convinced" he said, that
the proposal made by Senator Lodge
is not a trap which would bring us to
a vote on the resolution of ratification
prepared by the Republican majority
without giving us an opportunity to
offer a substitute set of reservations
or propose amendments to those of
the committee.
IF the time is set for taking the
final vote without these matters being
thoroughly understood, one or two
Senator's might keep the floor for the
entire period allowed for DEBATE, and
by Offering amendments or reserva-
tions of their own keep any other
Senators from having any time to de-
bate. / am very sure that there will
be objections to Senator Lodges
proposition unless the unanimous re-
quest agreement meets all these OBJ
jections."
Borah and Reed Would Speak.
Senator Borah is not inclined to
agree at this time to any proposal to
limit the debate or to fix the day for
the final vote. He has two reserva-
tions covering Article y, and the
British protectorate of Egypt, which
he desires to discuss at considerable
length when he gets the opportunity.
farther than that prepared by the
committee, as it covers the use of
American troops abroad in time of
peace as well as in war, whereas that
of the committee has to do only with
the use of troops in time OF war.
1t is also believed probable that
some objection may be offered by
Reed of Missouri, to Senator
Lodges request as he has planned to
deliver at least one long speech
against the treaty before the vote is
taken 1t is doubtful If he would con-
sent now to set the limit of one hour
on speeches. Senator Reed has been
confined to his home by illness, and
Senator Lodge said when he offered
the proposal yesterday that he would
not undertake to press 1t until Sena-
tor Reed has been consulted.

Specter of Starvation
Stalks Through Siberia
Countess Tolstoy Declares One
of Every Three Children
Will Die This Winter

TOXIC, Nov. 10 Correspondence of
The Associated Press). -unless some
immediate assistance in the most sub
stantial form is sent to those who are
working in Siberia to stem the raw
ages Of hunger, exposure and disease,
one Of every three among the young
children Of Siberia is doomed to die
this winter, according to the estimate
of the situation sent to Japan by Coun-
tess Tolstoy, Of the Russian Red Cross,
and relative Of the late Count Toll
stoy.
"Ask in almost every family and you
will find that during the past few
months there has been one or more
deaths among the children" writes
Countess Tolstoy from Omsk.
This, of course, applies particularly
to the poor, but even among the pros
porous there has been a decided in
crease of child mortality. I know that
in Tomsk, for instance, a university
town, and one where the average fam
lily seems we'll off, the mortality is
higher than 80 per cent. The per-
centage Of deaths among the children
living in refugee barracks and the
crowded railway box cars which house
thousands along the trans-Siberian
railway line, is higher than 80 per
cent"
