NATION PROTESTS
PROBE COMMENT
Argentina Resents NUM-.
tionS Quiz Remark as De-
trimentaI to officer.
By the Associated Press,

by the hSSOCldLeQ FTeSS,
The Argentine government today
presented a written protest to the
State Department against a remark
attributed to a Senator in the course
of the Senate Munitions Committees
investigation this week, which was
said to have reflected upon a high
Argentine official.
Felipe Espil, Argentine Ambassador
to Washington, presented the protest
to Assistant Secretary Sumner Welles
Il don't care what the witnesses
say" Espil later remarked. But I do
care what the Senators themselves say
in reflection on our officials. ]
checked the stenographic record and
found there a remark rejecting on
the integrity of Comdr. Galindez, chief
of our naval commission to Europe
and one of the most honorable, be-
loved and honest men in the Argen-
tine.
My government instructed me to
protest"
Suggested Influence.
1t was understood the remark was
made by Senator Bone, Democrat, of
Washington, during the course of the
investigation, and suggested the off,
cial might have been subject to in
fiuence.
This development came as the
Chilean government instructed its
Ambassador here to ask the State De-
partment for full facts concerning re-
Election on Chilean officials laid before
the committee.
I'VE want the facts" spokesman
at the embassy said, "in order to
punish any Of our officials that are
guilty, or clear them or reflection If
they are innocent"
In recess until Monday, members OF
the committee promised further revela-
tions next week concerning the far
flung operations of manufacturers OF
death-dealing instruments Of war.
Evidence has been received that
King George v of England intervened
with the Polish Ambassador in London
in an effort to gain an armament con-
tract for a British concern bidding
against the briggs Ordnance and
Engineering Co. of New York.
Immediately thereafter, other testi-
mony showed the United States War
and Navy Departments were Co
operating fully with the New York
company in building up sats foreign
business.
Small wonder" commented Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan,
that peace walks on crutches today"
London Papers Indignant.
Gondon newspapers expressed in
dignation and astoniShment today
that the name of King George had
been mentioned at the inquiry. Lib
erals in Parliament initiated a move
for a similar investigation into NUM-
tions manufactures in Great Britain.) }
L. L. briggs, president of the Ord
nance Co. flushed deeply as the eU-
dence about King George went into the
record in the form of a cablegram
from his agent in Warsaw in 1882.
That's unsportsmanlike," briggs
said, as the testimony was received
over his objection.
Later the committee turned to this
company's attempts to sell guns and
ammunition in Colombia in 1888 when
that nation was in dispute with Peru
over the Leticia sector.
1t disclosed that Comdr James H.
Strong of the United States Navy
served Colombia for nearly year be-
fore he resigned his Navy command
to become head Of the Colombia Air
Corps.
He was commissioned to pass on

EMBASSY DENIES KING

Polish Officials Say George Did

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 8.-The Polish
Embassy denied categorically and EN-
phatically today the statement made
at the munitions traffic inquiry in
Washington that King George had
interceded to obtain an order for a
British arms manufacturer.
The embassy asserted the Polish
Ambassador had not been summoned
by the King in connection with the
matter.
At the British foreign Office itfwas
indicated that the statement Of the
Polish Embassy is sufficient to dis
credit the story entirely. 1t was in

SPRING LAKE, N. j., September
81 was asleep when the fire broke
out on the Moro Castle this morning,
but the fire gong awakened me, and
1 went to my station on the starboard
side of the ship.
One of the men told me lightning
struck the ship and set an oil tank
on fire.
BY the time I reached the deck the
whole midShip was burning as far up
as the boat deck. 1t seemed that only
the after part of the ship was clear.
Hose Useless in Fighting Fire.
We tried to fight the fire with hose
from the boat deck, but it was no use.
The flames had such hold and we're
burning so fiercely that it was impoS-
sible to stop them.
Some one shouted to me, There's
a woman in that room"
broke into the state room and tried
to find her. but 1 couldn't see any
body there, and the smoke drove me
out.
In all the time we were fighting
the fire I don't remember seeing any
passengers. Some people jumped over
board, but don't know if they were
passengers or members of the crew.
Most of the passengers and crew
were asleep when the lightning struck,
and I don't see how very many OF
them we're able to escape.
We were given orders to launch
boats from the starboard side of the
boat, and II of us got into one boat
and got away. Six boats were
launched from the starboard side.
Wind Blew Flames Over Side.
don't believe any were able to
get away from the port side, because
the wind was blowing the flames over
that side.
We stood by for awhile looking for
people in the water, but didn't see
any. There was heavy ground
swell running and we had trouble
standing by. -
The ship was like a furnace BY
this time and was burning from one
end to the other. I tried to see If
anybody was on deck, but I couldn't t
see anybody.
I remember seeing the chief officer
on the bridge while we were fighting
the fire. The captain died last night
from a heart attack and the chief
officer was in charge of the ship when
the fire broke out.
We stood by for about is minutes
and then made for shore. We didn't
see anybody in the water as we pulled
away.

P. R. R. COMPANY
MODERNIZES ITS
PASSENGER SERVICE

Air conditioned coaches are now
being operated by the Pennsylvania
Railroad on the "Delmarva Express"
and the sleeping cars at Cape Charles
preceded while waiting for the boat
connection from across the bay, ac-
cording to an announcement today by
Superintendent K. r. Vought.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, said Su-
perintendent Vought, is installing air
conditioned equipment in it's cars as
rapidly as it is possible to do so.
Over 700 of them have thus far been
fitted in this manner and placed in
service generally throughout the sys-
tenn this season. This constitutes the
largest fleet Of air conditioned trains
on any railroad in the country, and as
more cars are turned out of the shops
the service will be extended.
The sleeping cars for the midnight
train to Philadelphia and New York
since the early part of July are be-
ing preceded in Cape Charles Sta
tion. They are now made available
for occupancy at 80 P. M.
"We are endeavoring by every
means at our disposal" said Mr..
Vought in commenting on the improve
ments just authorized by the railroad
management, "to make our service as
convenient and comfortable to our Nor
folk and Delmarva Peninsula patrons
as we possibly can."

field fled from their homes on We'd
nesday as forest and marsh fires be-
came menace.
One unoccupied home and several
outbuildings were burned, bringing up
to four the number of homes that were
burned within the forty-eight hours
the fire has been raging. The fire
started in the tinder-like vegetation
of he forest and marshes in that vi
Unity which has been thoroughly
parched by the drought.
Refugees from the flames could be
seen on many of the highways lead
ing from the stricken area, pushing
wheelbarrows and small carts loaded
with household goods. They were
seeking less exposed sections. Fright
ened wild rabbits were also seen
scurrying across cleared ground seek
ing refuge.
In addition to the homes burned
considerable damage was done to
woodsland and truck gardens in that
vicinity.
The Crisfield Volunteer Firemen
who have been on the scene contin-
uously since the fire started three
days ago, although handicapped by a
lack of water, organized bucket bri-
gades and with hundreds of men, wo-
men and children are fighting the
flames, procuring water from near
by bitches and creeks. A mean low
tide and three-months drought has
caused all the wells to go dry.
Wide bitches have been dug a.
round the burning area but up to
the present they have not been able
to get the fire under control.

No Rail Legislation

Railroad Administrator Eastman Is
playing poker with the railroads, In
a way, and the results may not be
apparent to the naked eye for some
time to come. One thing is fairly
certain. There will be no important
railroad legislation at this session.
This is not only the program OF Mr..
Eastman. 1t Is agreeable to the Pres
ident and 1t is satisfactory to Chair
man Dill OF the senate interstate com
merce committee.
The poker game comes In on the
constant references to government
ownership and operation In the first
OF the Eastman reports. Actually Mr..
Eastman does not want government
ownership-at least not at present.
But he holds the picture up In sort
of coming events cast their shadows

tives and security holders to see.
IF they do not do just what he
wants, the Inference Is. here Is what

In the present investigation. Mr..
Roosevelt makes 1t clear that II 1t is
shown. so far as could be learned,
that at the end of year Germany In
present trade operations would owe
the United States say one million dol
lars. then Mr.. Roosevelt would favor
letting down the bars against Ger
man goods sufficiently to enable Ger
many to maintain Its balance OF trade
with the United States on an even
keel
On the other hand, II 1t should be
shown that at the end Of year the
United States would owe Germany
one million dollars. then restrictions
against German imports should be
lacked up sufficiently to keep out Just
about one million dollars worth of
German goods annually.
The objective Is very simple. He
wants a balance of trade so that there
will be no plllng up OF debts by one
country TO another. For several rea-
sons. One is that he thinks this Is
the only natural method by which
trade can continue indefinitely. A
balanced trade he thinks. encourages
more trade. IT Is another way OF
stating one OF the old arguments
against tariff barriers-that to sell
goods abroad one must buy goods
acknowledgements the purchasers
abroad will have no credit with which
to purchase our goods.
But there is more immediate
necessity for the same result. The
President. enormously interested In
the gold question. does not want to
encourage such unbalanced trade op-
erations that 1t will be necessary to
ship gold from one country to anoth.
err. AS long as international trade Ia
really balanced no gold shipments
would be necessary.
For somewhat different reasons, the
| President wants to attain one of the
| chief detectives Of Mussolinl, who
every time he finds the balance OF
| trade running against italy. slaps or
more prohbitory restrictions against
imports. Except that no one believes
Mussolin would be disturbed II Il

exports were far In excess of her Ina

Incidentally. In justice to Doctor

In short. the President really wants
to know whether. at the end OF any
given period of time, Germany would
naturally owe money to the United
States or the other way round. Nat
urally what is called triangular trade
would figure In this. For example, II
Germany should sell some dyestuffs
to Mexico, which should pay for them
