JONES BILL IS
DENOUNCED BY
ENGLISH WRITER


London, July 2s.-The Jones Bill.
characterized as Americas bid for
shipping supremacy" is denounced
by the shipping expert of the Sunday
Observer as "retaliatory and discrim-
inatory."
He declares that the war has
taught other nations the Importance
of owning a mercantile marine anc
that jealousy has been aroused
throughout the world by the liability
and magnificence" Of the British mer-
camille establishment. "In two coun-
tries" he asserts, Sin particular, is a
feeling of most bitter jealousy against
our mercantile marine. These two
countries are France and the United
States"
The writer declares that there is
nothing to which foreigners can OBJ
ject in the principal provisions of the
Jones Bill insofar as it is intended
to coordinate the transport resources
Of the United States, whether ocean,
coastwise, or inland shipping, rail-
ways, ports and docks so as to form
one immense undertaking to force
American export and import trade
into the holds of American ships.
He says, however, that some Of the
clauses of the bill were intended to
tain and Japan. Among these he men
lions those which authorize preferen-
tia1 treatment to American vessels in
American ports. The insurance provi-
sions of the bill, he says, impose the
most drastic forms of returns, which
are based absolutely upon the meth
DDS of the German insurance COM
panies, against which America her
self protested so bitterly previous to
L. II, -
been devised admittedly for the
purpose of learning every iota of bus
mess transacted by foreign companies
with a view to passing the same on
to American concerns. The object Of
course, is that, having this informa-
ton, the government may assist the
American companies entirely to Gust
British insurance.
"In the same vein is the clause
which valves in favor of American
insurance companies, the Sherman an
THRUST law. This is entirely on a par
with the methods adopted by the
Shipping Board during the war when
it transpired the confidential infor-
nation given to the Shipping Board
solely for the purpose of the war
was being used to enable American
shipping to defeat British shipping
after the war.
I'VE in this country now know
that We are to be faced with the
most bitter competition for the supre-
macy. of the seas which we have ever
had to meet. We are in for a big
fight, but before America can win the
fight she must create a national feel
ing for a mercantile marine. She
must prepare to pay considerably
higher freight and insurance rates on
all she imports and exports and she
must be willing to forego profits ON
her shipping enterprises for many
years. The person who Is most willing
to feel the pinch of Americas am
billions will be the American export

ALBERT AGREES
WITH SHERMAN

Geneva, July s0.-King Albert of
Belgium. accompanied by Guide Jo-
I6eph Ravenel who served through out
the war as a ''Blue-DeviF' of France,
incidentally being at Verdun, assembled
IDru peak the other day. The King
and the soldier remained on the sum-
init for half an hour, the guide dis
Icreetly, he thought trying to ques-
ton the King on his war record. The
King was reluctant to speak of his
war experience. When the guide came
down he asked a newspaper man:
What was it that the American
General Sherman said about war?
King Albert told me: Sherman said
all that Is to be said about war in
three Words"

FORMER GERMAN
EMPRESS SUFFERS
HEART TROUBLE

Doom. Holland, July 30.-The for
mer German Empress Auguste Vic
toria, has undergone SO much distress
during the past two, years that she
has suffered for several months from
aggravated attacks of heart disease
Recently she has been leading the
life of an invalid. She has had mild
or attacks of this malady for many
years.
At the House of Doom, where.
surrounded by a staff of her own
Berlin servants, and attended almost
constantly by Countess Kellar-for
many years her lady in waiting-she
has recently been so completely in
disposed that she has been at times
unable to walk up or down the
stairs. A special elevator was built
for her USE
Those familiar with the inner life
OF the. former Emperor's household
since the flight from Potsdam to Hol-
land declare that while William, con-
soling himself with religion, has been
more or less of a stole, the former
Empress has suffered great mental
stress and has felt severely the sep
aration from her children.
3 From the time she arrived at
lAmerongen, in November, 1918, she
has suffered continually Now and
SIAeH, she was the victim or nedrL at
tacks SO severe that she was con-
fined to her bed for several days at
u time.
, In the spring of 1920, when the
Knapp revolution in Berlin was fol-
lowed by an urgent demand that the
former Emperor be closely guarded,
the life of the exiles became more
constrained and Auguste's ailment
i1nore pronounced.
She was constantly under the
treatment of DIR. Haehner, a Berlin
physician, who is a member of the
former Emperor's staff and, also a
noted Dutch specialist in heart dis
eases. from Utrecht, was called into
consultation.
He decreed that she must lead
very quiet life and 1t has been no Sc
cret at Doom that in May and June
OF this year, the former Empress
suffered such violent attacks that her
life was despaired Of. On these occa-
sions, the former Crown Prince and
such others of the Hohenzollerns who
were within easy reach, were sum-
moned to her bedside.
At Doom, everything has been done
to avoid disturbing the former kaiser
in. News, or information that might
tend to excite her, has been kept
from her. She has never been left
entirely alone. If she has been able
to walk in the garden, attendants
were in easy call.

FREE MASONS.

On July 80, 1893, the first lodge
of Free Masons in America was
founded in Boston. The growth of the
order has been fast and today it is
one of the most powerful organiza-
tions in the world. Today it has
about 100000 members in the
United States and British North
America. with grand lodges in all of
the states of the Union and Prov
inces of Canada These bodies are in
full affiliation with the English Grand
Lodge, and also with the Masons of
Scotland, ireland, Australia, South
America, Cuba, and most of the
countries of Europe, except that they
have no connection with the Grand
Orient of France, which is something
of an anti-re1igious and anti-clerical
body. In Catholic countries Freema-
sonry is under the ban of the church
and the membership is small and
scattered.
