Washington, d. c.. Sept. 13.-
Thorough Investigation of all the
evidence in the case of the two
American consuls whose creden-
tals were revoked by Great Britain
has convinced the United States
government that not q scintilla of
proof lies behind the charges of
undue influence said to have been
used in favor of American and
against British ships.
The episode has not served to
diminish but to intensity the feel
ing Of competition between the
shipping interests of the two coun-
tries The British are naturally
solicitous about their carrying
trade-they believe they need it to
pay their war debts and keep their
commercial advantages of the past
The United States Shipping Board,
If incompetently managed will not
disturb the British. What they fear
most is that the government here
will really make progress in the
shipping business, or worse yet,
that private American interests will
be able to reach a degree Of ef-
ficiency not possible under Ameri-
can government operation.
Naturally American officials look
askance at what they consider the
conspiracies of competition. One
hears tales of British intimidation
of American consuls throughout
the world. II, for instance, an Am
erican consul is removed and the
cause has no connection with ship
ping, rumors are said to be propa-
gated to make other consuls believe
they too will lose their posts II
they work too conspicuously in ia
vor of American trade and ship
ping.
The latest incident which arous-
ed the ire of officials here, how
ever, is the persistent rumors of
change in management Of the Unit
ed States shipping board. These
rumors are believed to have for
their object the undermining OF

HOPE TO REACH
47MINERS SOON

Jackson, Cal, Sept. 13.-(By the
Associated Press. .)-As rescue par
ties resumed today their frantic ef-
forts to reach the ~ men entomb-
ed for is days in the Argonaut gold
mine here, it was the prediction OF
officials that the barriers would be
broken through within 36 hours.
Some of those in touch with the
situation, including Clarence E.
Jarvis, q member of the state board
Of control and Governor Stephens'
representative at the mine, express
ed the belief that at least q few Of
the miners would be found alive.
The general opinion. however, is
that II any Of the victims survived.
they were only handful Of the
stronger and more experienced.
Rescue gangs are at work at two
levels, those $500 and $500 feet be-
low the surface. The imprisoned
men, or most Of them. are believed
to be at . depth Of about 1000 feet

THREATENS
IN BALKANS
Jugo- -Slavia, Rumania to
Aid Greece if Conflict
Comes.

London, Sept. 13.-The Central
News in q dispatch from Athens
says it is reliably informed that
the Jugo-Slavian and Rumanian
governments have evidenced with
out equivocation their intention OF
aiding Greece in the event OF a
Balkan conflict. Serbian troops, it
adds are being mobilized and
moved in the direction of Uskub,
(Skoplie).
Athens, Sept. 12.-Disquieting
rumors are afloat on all sides,
causing uneasiness which the
sangfroid displayed in official cir
cles is unable to calm. 1t is re-
ported that the Turks in Thrace
encouraged by the successes OF
Mustapha Kennel Pasha's army in
Anatolia, are engineering an anti
Christian movement.
Encounters between Bulgarian
irregulars and Greek detachments
have occurred along the border
near Navrokop, and it is stated
that the irregulars were driver
back into Bulgarian territory.
Citizens of Athens apparently dc
not as yet fully realize the full ex'
tent of the disaster to the Greek
army in Asia Minor.

GEN. PERSHLNG
OBSERVES HIS
62ND BIRTHDAY
Recalls 4fh Any,iuer-
sary of St. Mihiel
Victory.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Surround-
ed by flowers sent by general staff
officers and others who recalled
the significance for him of the date,
John J. Pershing spent his 62nd
birthday today at his desk in the
war department busy with the
tasks of his dual post, as general Of
the armies, and chief of staff.
Among memories of his more
than three score years there was
one which must have stood out
sharply in the generals mind, for
this also was the anniversary of the
sweeping victory of the army un-
der his command at st. Mihiel four
years ago. The assault was launch
ed September IL, but it was on
September 13 that the deep salient
of the Germans had held for four
years on the western front was
completely obliterated by American
troops under American command
and waging battle in France for the
first time as an American army.
In all the history of the great war,
there is no record of a more de-
'cisive stroke of victory.
General Pershing had little to
say when St. Mihiel was mentioned
but his eyes sparkled like boys.
"It was a great day." he re-
marked.
Having reached his 62nd birth
day, General Pershing Is eligible
for retirement from active service,
either on his own request or by
action of the president, but he con-
templates no change at this time.
He said today he thought with
CONSERVATION" of the inactivity
which retirement would mean and
added that there was still much to
do in passing on in permanent form
the military experience gained in
France by the American army. 1t
is to that task that the former COM
mander of the A. E. F. has set him
self since his return from France.
AS to the success of the new one
army policy with regulars, national
guard and organized reserve, con-
sidered as a single force, General
Pershing was enthusiastic. The
summer training camps which are
the backbone of the system had
been splendid, he said. and by u.s.
ing as instructors regular officers
fresh from courses at the various
army service schools the civilian
elements of the army attending the
camps has been brought in touch
with the best military thought in
the army.
