MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
SOLUTION OF PROBLEM
Increased Fare Urged By B. R. T.
to Prevent Bankruptcy.

New York. Jan. Municipal own
ership and operation of all the city
transportation lines. according to Cor
poration Counsel William P. Burr.
seems to offer the only solution of
the problem which has been brought
forcibly to public attention by the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Lines.
A hint OF the possibility of an ap-
plication for a receiver for the In
terboro Rapid Transit Company was
contained in a letter from Theodore p.
Shonts, president OF the company, to
the mayor. the Board of Estimate and
the Public Service Commission, which
was made public tonight. Mr.. Shonts
hints very broadly that the company
may be unable to meet its obligations
IL it is held down to a scent fare.
President Williams of the B. r. T.
said today that application for a J.
cent fare would be filed Immediately
as one Of the steps necessary for the
rehabilitation the company's
finances.

promenaded the deck following a day
of rough weather, and other side
lights of the trip of the Chief Execu-
tive of the nation to Europe are con-
tanned in the diary of a member Yof
the crew of the ship which reached
here yesterday.
The diary reads as follows:
December To-day we got authen-
tic information that the President was
to go with us. Up until this time we,
were not quite sure, although from
the preparations being made We knew
some one was going to be with US.
Ship Inspected.
December 2-Admiral Gleaves, of the
cruiser and transport force, inspected
the ship and arrangements made and
pronounced them o. K. Baggage for
the peace party comes aboard. All
work is finished.
December IA party of twenty-five
cooks and walters came aboard for the
peace party. The chef and maitre
d'hotel of the Baltimore also came
aboard to act in that capacity for
the presidential personal party. The
whole gang were mustered into the
United States navy.
December An hands" at a. m.
| Band and guard mustered at the
special gangway rigged for the presi-
Dental party of the cabin deck. Al
7:1O admiral Gleaves and staff came
aboard to welcome~<he President when
he arrived. The Presidents train ar.
rived off the end of the dock at this
| time. He was met by a regiment of
soldiers from one of the camps nearby.
He was escorted along the upper
deck, which was lined with cheering
girls from the Quartermaster Depart
ment.
At S:07 French Ambassador Jusse-
rand came aboard. At the same time
the Italian Ambassador, Count Cellere,
and wife and two children came

were rendered in each Of these cases.
Twenty-one Guns Salute.
AtlO.21 we were headed down stream
and replied to a salute Of twenty-one
guns given by two deStroyers
Overhead were a number of airplanes
giving hair-raising stunts. The docks
were lined with movie men and other
camera fiends. the army transport
tugs had been pressed into service for
officials and their friends; Secretary
OF War Baker could be seen perched
on the roof of Pier Four waving with
the rest and yelling as madly.

, glimpse of the Azores. 1t is funny to
board at daybreak. One was found to
be badly damaged by contact with
something during the night The
weather was exceedingly bad for pas
sengers and few of them showed up.
The President ard Mrs. Wilson,
| however, took a stroll on deck during
| the afternoon.
George Creel, the editorial nemesis.

Many Dying of Famine
in Pehograd, Says Pastor

New York, Jan. members of the
American Methodist Episcopal Church
in Petrograd are dying of famine. az
cording to a cablegram received by
the Methodist Board of Foreign Mis-
sions.'
The cablegram is signed by Mm.-
Eklund, the deaconess of the church
in Petrograd, and was sent by way OF
the Swedish government and the
American State Department. She re-
fers to the food situation as being
hopeless.
DR.. George A. Simmons, pastor of

Adds 33 Millions to Payroll.
Increase of the navy enlisted per-
sonnel to 250.0O0. as recommended
by Mr.. Daniels yesterday. will add
s33.000,000 to the pre-war payroll.
he said yesterday.
Another matter urged by the Sec
retary was a law to permit the
opening of naval radio stations to
commercial business. He said Post
master General Burleson on Tuesday
called upon him to use the wireless
whenever possible. in order to re-
lieve the heavy strain on the cables.
Instructions to this effect were is
sued to all branches of the Navy
Department and other departments
were requested to adopt a similar
policy.

Giant Rival Fleets and
Monster Army Planned
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Pacific fleet officers who can remain
there for at least two years. As few
changes as possible will be made in
the officer personnel"
Representative Butler (Republican),
of Pennsylvania, asked how soon the
Secretary expected to be able to put
the two-heet system into effect.
BY summer" was the reply.
Reason for Division.
The reason for dividing the naval
forces into two equal fleets, Mr.. Dam
iels explained, is to stimulate develop
ment and prevent a slump in naval
activities and enthusiasm of the men
such as always has followed a war.
Heretofore" he said. Officers as
signed to the Pacific squadron have
considered that they were canned
but by having two fleets of equal pro-
portion and staging wars between
the two forces, we will be able to
stir up such rivalry and competition
as will stimulate actual genius of war.
THE bureau of operations now is
working out plans for apportioning
the ships among the two fleets. Rear
Admiral Badger. head of the general
board of the navy, fully approves of
the department agree that it is the
biggest step we could possibly take to
develop the navy to the point of readi-
ness for Instant action"
Secretary Daniels, Admiral Benson
and other officials of the department
will go to the Pacific Coast next sum-
mer to make a study of naval sta
tions and contemplated projects. The
facilities out there now are adequate
to take care of a fleet as large as
contemplated for the next few years.
Recommendations for improvements
will be made to the next Congress.
The departments aviation pro-
gram calls for the maintenance of
two principal bases at Pensacola,
Fla. and San Diego, Cal. The ex-
listing stations in Massachusetts,. on
Long Island and at Hampton Roads
and several coastal stations will be
continued. Enfargements will be
made only at Pensacola and San
Diego. Mr.. Daniels said. Enough
money from previous appropriations
remains in hand to complete the de-
velopment at San Diego.
The Secretary submitted to the
committee an amendment to the ma
val bill increasing the permanent
enlisted strength of the Marine
Corps from 17.4O0 to 26,2s7. excIu-
sive of wounded men and those
otherwise disabled. The maximum
enlisted strength of the corps for
the year 1920 was recommended to
be $4,000 including the permanent
personnel.
Selectiye System for Marines.
The proposed amendment makes
the selective system of promotion
for officers as now operative in the
navy applicable also to the Marine
Corps and provides for the transfer
of us officers from the temporary
personnel and reserves to the regu-
lar Marine establishment Fifty of
these officers will be transferred to
the grade Of captain. fifty to the
rank of first lieutenant and seventy
five to be second lieutenants.
All marines shortly will be re-
moved from navy yards. the Secre-
tary said, and concentrated in the
stations at Paris Island. s. c., San
Diego. Cal. and Quantico, Va. The
two former stations will be for pre-
liminary training. while advanced |
courses will be given at Quantico. |

Workman, who commanded the George

destroyer skipper who made the now

ready after reaching Queenstown
from America. His reply: I'VE are

December I-Storm shows no sign

OLD RECORDS
ARE REVIEWED
Allied Royalty Will Be En-
tertained By Elite Of
America.

State Department officials are re-
viewing records Of the visit of Ed
ward Of England who visited the
United States when Prince OF Wales.
IL is understood that the program for
the entertainment of King George and
Queen Mary upon their projected Visit
to the United states will follow in
general way that by which the United
States expressed its welcome to the
Prince Of Wales. .
In a measure the entertainment OF
President Poincare and the King OF
Italy will follow the lines Of the re-
ception to be accorded the representa-
tfves of the reigning house Of Eng
land. In the case of the latter, how
ever, a more clearly defined precedent
has been established.
According to officials here. It Is
probable that the welcome to the visi-
tors will be extended at New York
the more formal functions being car
ried out in Washington. As In the
case Of Edward, it is believed that
the visitors will be quartered at the
White House during their stay in
Washington, and will be given the
best Of private residences while visit
ing the greater centers of the country.
In view Of the belief that the visits
by the European mobiles will be made
within the coming two years, it Is
pointed out that Mrs. Wilson will hold
a social sceptre of power unequalled
by any leader in the nations history.
For the social functions in honor of
the visitors in Washington, the elite
of every center will undoubtedly seek
invitation. And until the lists OF
guests may be published, no one can
know the complexion of the social
registers for the coming generation.
King Plants n Tree.
II is pointed out here that King
Edward. then the Prince of Wales,
planted a tree at Mount Vernon. a
tree that has braved the elements and
Is now the most fourishing OF the
giant bay trees marking the home
stead OF the nations father. 1t IS
thought that King George will be
asked to carry out the custom.
Whether the visitors will extend
their journeys to the Pacific coast Is
an open question. That every effort
will be made to show them the beau
ties of sunny California and the tow
ering grandeur of the northern moun-
tain country, is without question.
However. officials state that it is not
to be expected that the visitors will
attempt a lengthy visit here and that
they will follow the route taken by
Marshal Jorfre and other notables
who have visited America since the
entrance OF this country into the Eu-
ropean war.
