NO STATE DEPARTMENT HEAD
Acting Secretary Polk Has Returned

Nomination Still Hangs Fire.

Washington.-The state department
is now technically without a head.
Frank L. Polk, who has acted as sec
rotary since the resignation of Robert

not serve as secretary ad interim for
more than thirty days.
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee gave further consideration to
the nomination of cambridge Colby,
to be head OF the state department.
Members of the committee take the
position that under the wartime Over

to some other official the duties OF
the secretary of state, and conse-
quently that delay in acting on Mr..

NAVAL MAHEUVERS N PACIFIC
Atlantic Fleet Will Join Western
Forces in Staging Mimic War
Off Panama Coast.

Washington--The Pacific and At
lantic fleets will meet off the Pacific
Coast OF Panama next January in their
first joint maneuvers, designed to keep
the navy "on its toes during peace
time. This was decided at a confer
ence between Secretary Daniels and
AdmiTals Rcdman and Wilson, the
neet commanders, who will work out
details. It is practically certain, how
ever, that a battle between the fleets,
approaching as nearly as possible &C
tuaI warfare, will be arranged. It may
also serve as an actual test OF the
strategy
After the practice is at an end, the
combined fleet will visit the principal
Pacific ports Of the United States so
as to give the people there an op-
portunity to see the nations full naval
fighting force. It will be the first
time that the entire battIeship force
has visited the Pacific Coast since the
Atlantic fleet made its memorable
cruise around the world in 1907-S.
The fleet, which will steam out OF
Sdn
year, will be many times as large and
as powerful as that which the late
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans took
through the Golden Gate in 1908 after
a voyage around Cape Horn. There
will be sixteen battleships of the
dreadnought class-the same number
that circled the globe-perhaps a doz-
en- second line battleships, eleven
cruisers and all the supporting units
of destroyers, submarines and aux
iliaries
Among the second line ships will be
a number that made the cruise around
the world. But they will go to the
Pacific before that time, as six Of
them, including the Connecticut, which
was Admiral Evans's flagship back in
1908, have been assigned to take the
midshipmen from Annapolis on June
6 on a cruise which viii carry them
to Hawaii and to several Pacific ports.
The voyage will end on August %.

presented forecasts what may amount
to a dissolution, in spirit, of the en-
tente unless the League of Nations be-
comes functioning organization with
in a short time.
France is openly suspicious of Eng
lands motives in the near East.
England is suspicious Of France,
and is taking the lead in the move
ment to establish military control in
the Constantinople region.
President Wilson is suspicious Of
both, and has openly voiced his sus-
picion Of France in his statement de-
claring that the French government is
now in the control of the military
caste
Italy, meantime, has developed what
amounts to a near hatred for the
United States, owing to what she re-
CARDS as President Wilson's denial Of
her rightful aims.
France resents the statement OF the
President to the extent that influen-
tial papers refer to him as ''lunatic"
and the French government, itself,
through Ambassador Jusserand, has
seen fit to inquire in Washington just
what the President meant by his
charge of imperialism.
Each OF the European powers is sus-
picious OF the others as regards Rus
STA, and each is joekeying in the hope
Of preventing any other from getting
commercial lead when that vast
country is reopened.
France feels there is something COM
mercial in the willingness of England
to aid German rehabilitation, which
the French believe must necessarily
be at their expense owing to the fact
that payments on their much needed
reparation will be delayed.
Japan is suspicious of the Allied
aims in the Far East, owing to the con-
sortium through which China is to be
financed Thomas Lamont Of J. P.

URGE GREATER PRODUCTION
National Chamber of Commerce Be-
IieVes 1t Has Remedy for
High Cost of Living.

Seeing in increased
production a means OF restoring nor
NAL business and price conditions,
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, it was announced, will
make its eighth annual meeting. to be
held at Atlantic City April to %, an
increased production convention"
Lack of production, the chamber
says, is one Of the chief causes of the
high cost of living which cannot be
reduced until more goods are put on
the market. Prices have been forced
up by competitive bidding. This IN
turn has made necessary unusual
wage increases with a still further
rise in manufacturing and production
costs.
