Germans Planning
Drive TO Capture
Trade With Spain
Underbid American, British
and Other Firms ON Order
for Locomotives; Teuton
Government Backs Them

How strongly Germany is bidding
for foreign trade is shown in reports
of the recent opening of bids by the
Spanish government for large num-
ber of locomotives for the Spanish
railways.
"When the doors were opened at the
Ministry of Public Works in Madrid" "
it is stated, "half dozen Germans
made a spectacular entry, marching in
military formation, very stout man
in front, all bowing and smiling to any
one who came within range of their
geniality. Amongst themselves, how
ever, they were not so polite, and per-
sons who understood German knew
that harsh words were being exchanged
while the formalities were being full
filled"
The six Germans stated that they
represented sixteen manufacturers.
whose standing would be guaranteed by
the German government. Moreover,
they presented the guaranty of the
German Transatlantic Bank established
in Madrid. The Germans presented a
collective bid for 115 of the 119 loco
motives for which bids were sought.
A German firm domiciled III Spain bid
for ten locomotives. There were also
bids from eight Belgian and a number
of Swiss firms.
The Baldwin Locomotive Words bid
for the whole supply and the American
Locomotive Sales Corporation made q
number of alternative offers. Two
British firms and one French one
wound up the list of bidders.
AS regards prices, the Germans bid
in both pesetas and marks, the prices
in marks being calculated at q lower
rate than the exchange of the day.
They offered easy terms of payment.
The other foreign firms rendered in the
currencies of theil countries. The
German and Belgian prices are report
ed to have been the lowest, followed by
the British, then the Americans and
lastly the Swiss, the prices of the lat
ter being 80 per cent higher than those
of the Germans.
1t is now reported that the contract
for 119 locomotives has been awarded
to the Germans They offered to make
British offer was delivery in ten
months. Moreover, the German gov
ernment has offered to guarantee pay
ments of penalties in case delivery is
not made as specified The Germans
are also willing to accept payments
only after the locomotives have been
in service for six months and have
proved reliable.
According to advices from Madrid,
the Germans are making great efforts
in Spain. They seem most anxious to
demonstrate that they can effect
prompt deliveries. Their exhibits at
The Barcelona samples fair last fall
are said to have exceeded in lmpor-
tance those Of all the other foreign
nations combined. and they had found
means to get to Spain stocks of the
merchandise exhibited, so that they
could offer delivery on the spot, while
other competitors could only take
orders.
"Tha propaganda organization of the
German Embassy" it is declared, "has
been transformed into a Sociedad de

Politicians Turn
Ewes CovetOusly
On State Police
Many Destined to- Lose Jobs
Under Miller Economy
Plan Seek Position as
Head of the Troopers
From a stan Correapondent

ALBANY, Feb. 18.-~Politicians who
will soon be jobless as result of Gov
ernor Miller's retrenchment program
are turning their eyes toward the Office
OF superintendent of State Police,
which may soon be vacant by reason
of the resignation of Major George F.
Chandler, of Kingston.
Governor Miller would like to have
Major Chandler continue as head of the
state police organization, He made
this plain to-day when he was asked
if he had any one in mind to take the
place of the present state police head.
81 would feel gratified," said the Gov
ernor, "if Major Chandler would re-
main. He has been splendid official
and the state can i'll afford to lose his
services"
1t is still doubtful whether Major
Chandler will reconsider his resigna-
tion. Persons close to him say that
he feels his task of organizing the
state police organization has been conf
pleted and that he wants to resume
Major Chandler, who organized the
state troopers more than three years
ago, after service as surgeon and line
officer in the army, rendered his resig-
nation to the Governor q little more
than two weeks ago.
The ink on his resignation was hardly
dry before the politicians who have
looked longingly on the state troopers
since their organization at once began
to get busy. Their first cry was:
Let US get q Republican in TO sue
ceed Chandler"
This was, of course, directed at Dep
uty Superintendent George P. Dutton,
of New York, who is technically q
Democrat, though, like Major Chan
der, unconnected with politics.
The political hunters are hard after
the JOB of Major Chandler, which he
hopes, as all the friends of the state
troopers and the troopers themselves
hope, will 60 to his assistant, Dutton.
1t is common knowledge here that if
the job hunters can prevail upon Gov
ernor Miller to appoint an outsider
there will be batch of resigna-
tions from the state troopers, who
had looked upon their organization as
one OF the departments of the state
government which always would be di-
vorced from political influence.
Dutton has grown up with the or
ganization, having been Chandler's as
sistant from the very start. He Is pop
ular with the men and has the in
dorsement of his retiring chief.
Those who have watched the work
of the troopers are hoping that nothing
will happen to destroy the spirit OF
the organization. The organization was
assailed by former Governor Alfred
E. Smith when he took office, but be,
fore retiring Governor Smith, who was
one of those who led the fight against
the creation Of the troopers for years
declared that he was strong for then
and that they were "a most essential
department of the state"

u. S. s. Leviathan Crew Presents
Daniels and Baker With Shovels

From The T,"ibunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-secretary
of the Navy Daniels and Secretary of
War Baker to-day added two souvenirs
of the war to their collections when
the crew of the U. S. S. Leviathan,
which was used as a troop transport
during the war, presented each with a
fire shovel from the vessel.
The gifts were to commemorate the
occasion when the two Cabinet officers
took their turn in the engine room of
the giant liner and fired the furnaces
for brief period during their passage
from Hoboken to Brest, France.
The shovel presented to Mr.. Baker
contains an inscription setting forth
that on his passage on the Leviathan

Pictures Chicago as

Waterway to Sea Would
Be Move i'm Direction
of Economy, He Declares

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Assuming that
the Great Lakes--St Lawrence water.
way to the ocean will be opened in the
near future, Colonel w. V. Judson,
United States District Engineers of the
Chicago district, has issued bulletin
IN which he states that it does not re-
cure great stretch of the imagina-
tion to picture ocean vessels bound to
and from Chicago carrying passengers
IN large numbers, as matter of econ
omy in the case of INN igrants and as
matter of economy, convenience and
pleasure for other passengers. In this
connection he cenceives q huge harbor
on the lake shore, on the south side of
this city's present wharf. Colonel Jud-
sons statement says:
Port facilities to fulfll a number
of different functions are required a.
any port of first Importance. At some
great ports, as New York, the primary
junction is one of transfer from rail
to vessel and vice versa.
'At the port of Chicago the princi-
ral existing port facilities may be
classed as industrial. the Chicago in
Gustrial and commercial district now
has waterbone commerce of nearly
20,0O0,000 tons a year Gas compared
with New York's 45,OO0,OOO tons}, the
greatest bulk of which consists of raw
materials Of manufacture. to wit: coal,
ore and fuxing stone.
industrial port facilities exist
where large areas of relatively cheap
land are provided with reasonable
amount of wharf front and rail con-
nection. Along Indiana Harbor cana,
and Calumet River; on the lake front
at Gary, Indiana Harbor, and Calu.
met Harbor, and eventually in Calu-
met Lake, we have wonderful oppor-
tunities, for industrial port develop
ment but small fraction of which are
now utilized, although the resulting
industrial district is one of the GREAT
est in the world.
"For transfer harbor purposes, in
volving the shifting of freights between
ocean vessels, lake vessels, barges,
lighters, warehouses and railway cars
we need, of course, to plan port facili-
ties adapted TO such transfer functions.
at may be plainly understood from
what precedes that industrial port IA

shipping Board Refuses
To Withdraw ; Vessels
Plea of Three Companies Against
Competition i'm Tnter-Coastal
Trade Is Rejected

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s. 49, With
drawal of government vessels allocatsd
to the North Atlantic and Western
Steamship Company for service be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
was refused to-day by the Shipping
Board
Operation of FIVE Shipping Board
vessels in the inter-coastal trade by
ne North Atlantic and Western Steam
snip Company was protested before the
board recently by Harris Liyermore, of
New York, president Of the United
American lines, on behalf of his COM
pany and the Luckenbach Company, on
the ground that competition between
government owned and privately con-
trolled vessels was injurious to the up
building of the American Merchant
Marine. Previous to the hearings w.
A. Hartman, head of the American
Ship and Commerce Corporation, in an
address in New York, intimated that
unless the government-owned tonnage
was withdrawn his corporation might
bolt the agreement between the COM
peting coast-to-coast steamship lines
covering freight rates.
The board in it's decision to-day held
that the North Atlantic and Western
Company established the first line op-
Grating out of the Port of Boston and
served that territory to Pacific Coast
ports and for a time was the only line
operating between Atlantic Coast ports
and North Pacific Coast ports. The
board also declared that discontinue
ance of that line and service would
only be justified if it should be found
that continued maintenance and opera
ton was unbusinesslike and against
the public interest.

of an industrial harbor at Lake Calu-

Passengers Is the Cause

The White Star liner Adriatic left
port yesterday for Southampton and
Cherbourg with 838 passengers after
having been held in port two days be-

delay was due to the inability of the
vessel to land her steerage passengers.
Among the saloon passengers was

Archie Roosevelt Sees No
Shortage of Fuel for the
Merchant Marine i'm Sight

Since 1918 American exports of fuel
oil for bunker purposes have increased
nearly 800 per cent in volume, accord
ing to the records of the Department
Of Commerce. Last years total was
nearly double that of 1919. In the
three-year period bunker coal exports
have gained about 10 per cent.
This striking growth in the use of
fuel oil by ships has been accompanied
by large increase in the construction
Of tanker tonnage, especially in the
United States, While, according to
the returns of Lloyd's Register of
Shipping, only eleven tankers, aggre-
eating about 65,4o0 gross tons, were
launched in the United Kingdom dur
ing 1920, the total for the rest Of the
world, excluding Germany, for which
no official returns are available, was
eighty-nine vessels launched for the
carrying Of oil in bulk, aggregating
about $4,000 tons. Of these, eighty
eight, with a total tonnage of SGT 900
tons, were built in the United States.
Great Britain, however, is now going
IN for the construction of tankers to
2 much greater extent. AT the begin
ming Of this year there were under
way in British shipyards, sixty-four
steamers and motor vessels, totaling
$4,000 tons, intended to carry oil in
bulk. AT the same time the United
States had under construction eighty
eight tankers of $4,000 tons, and
other countries, seventeen, of 100000
tons. In addition, the great bulk of
the cargo and passenger tonnage build
ing in this country is designed for the
use Of oil fuel.

Figures of bunker exports from this
country for the past few years show
graphically how marked the conver-
sion Of the worlds shipping from coal
