with the approval Of various boards
controlling those departments.
The sources reporting the pro-
posed move emphasized that 1t
would not involve any wholesale"
dismissals. Undoubtedly, however,
it would mean some city hall dis
missals, the vacancies to be filled by
Republican delegates of the mayor.
Since taking office, Mayor Perriel-
10 has gained control of the street
department through appointment of
Herbert Scott-Smith as superinten-
dent, and can control the police and
fire departments through police and
fire boards which are now Repub-
lican-dominated.
Principal places where watch
men, would be placed would be in
the controllers office, tax collec-
tors office, welfare department and
school department. Several other
departments are also being men,
toned.

Clark, Democrat, Of Missouri, q re-
peal opponent, expressed dissatis-
faction with President Roosevelt S
action in banning belligerent SUBJ
marines from American waters, and
said he would propose an amend
ment to the neutrality bill extending
the prohibition to armed merchant
men.
Both existing law and the bill give
the President discretionary power
in regard to submersibles and armed
liners. His proclamation did not
cover the latter.
Special Policy Expected.
Secretary OF State Hull disclosed
yesterday that consideration is being
given the question of regulating
entrance Of armed merchantmen,
indicating a separate and special
policy may be pronounced for such
ships.
I'm going to insist that armed
merchant vessels be treated as bel
ligerent warships," said Senator
Clark. '"The only excuse Germany
gave for waging unrestricted SUBJ
marine warfare in the last war was
that arming of merchant ships
makes them belligerent warships
which was the proposition urged by
President Wilson,"
Senator Clark expressed the belief
the President might have barred the
submarines to prevent any incidents
on this side of the ocean In event
the arms embargo is repealed and
foreign ships begin taking munitions
back to Europe.
He said he also expected to raise
the question that there was nothing
in the bill which would prevent Ger
many from contracting in this coun-
try for construction of unarmed
submarines to take oil and other war
supplies back under the "cash-and-
carry" sections.
Changes Generally Favored.
Senator Clark and other opposi-
tion Senators withheld comment on
the shipping amendments agreed on
yesterday by Foreign Relations Com
nittee Democrats. Indications were
they would find little fault with
them.
Under the proposed changes, the
ban on American vessels carrying
any cargoes to belligerents would be
relaxed to permit continuance OF
trade, except in armaments, with
possessions Of warning nations In the
Pacific and the South Atltntic.
These armaments, along with one
forbidding arms sales on credit to
private Arms or individuals in bel
ngerent countries, were expected
to shorten debate materially and
get more votes" Senator Barkley
told reporters.
But the object was not to get
more votes" he added quickly. "The
changes were worked out because
We thought they were fair"
Senator Connally, Democrat, OF

Senator johnson said that in 1896
President Roosevelt highly praised
Americas neutrality policy.
Whence comes the mighty move

Senator johnson went on. Surely
it cannot be to safeguard American
neutrality, and this was the rational
