Following Desperate Battle.
JLONDON. June 29. The Teutonic
allies in their advance over the Gall
cian border Into Russian Poland, In the
region of Tomaszow, have captured that
Polish town, according to an Austrian
official statement received here tonight.
The statement also says that strong
Russian forces north of Kamlonka, 25
miles northeast of Lemberg, were re
pulsed with great loss last night, after
heavy fighting.
The Russian armies are neither beat
en nor downhearted, according to a
correspondent of the Times, In review
ing the six weeks' Teutonic advance,
after a visit to Russian headquarters.
General Ivanohoff. commander of the
southern armies, shows no trace of de
spondency. Discussing the present
situation, the correspondent says: -
-"The view is held here that the re
capture of Lemberg and other Galician
successes have brought the Austro
Germans no nearer a solution of the
war. Their enormous losses are esti
mated at 380,000 Germans and probably
an equal number of Austrians.
Germans Overcome Obstacle,
"The Russian point of view is that
they can retreat and advance again in
definitely, caring little for the moral
effect of the loss of towns as long as
they are constantly weakening their
adversaries and preventing a trench
deadlock such as exists on western and
Warsaw fronts.
How General von Linsingen's troops
under almost Impossible conditions
forced a passage across the Dniester
River near Bukaszowice, in Galicia, and
drove back the desperately battling
Russians along a front several miles
wide June 25, is told by Richard Schott.
a correspondent of the Tages Zeitung,
according to a Berlin dispatch.
"The Germans," the writer says, "had
to ford the deep, swift river under
merciless sharpshooter and machine
gun fire, storm abrupt clay cliffs and
then charge for a mile across open
meadows against the Russians, who
were ensconced In the deep-wooded
heights. After days of fighting the
Germans had the Russians in flight
and had captured thousands of men.
The night of June 25 the attack began
along a broad front in the neighbor
hood of Bukaszowice. northwest of
Kulisz. The country at this point has
unusual advantage for defense.
Men In Water All Dir.
"The enemy operated machine guns
and cannon at all too great accuracy.
The position appeared untakable.
"The German troops crossed In the
darkness, and before daybreak the first
lines had begun an advance toward the
woods.
"Our opponents were able to check
the attack only at the steepest river
bank. One West Prussian regiment
had to stand all day breast deep in
water. A soldier in order to shoot
had to be lifted out of the water by
others. Evidently those difficulties
were overcome, however, and notwith
standing a flanking fire, this troop
emerged and finally reached and
stormed the enemy's chief position.
"With deliberation and calmness as
If on the parade ground, the gigantic
movement made progress until the City
of Bukaszowice and its suburbs, oc
cupied by the best Russian troops and
Finnish sharpshooters, were taken and
the Russians soon were retreating
along the entire line.
"The Germans Immediately fortified
the heights beyond the meadows
against counter-attacks from the dis
possessed Russians. Our troops are in
excellent condition despite their exer
tions and the exposure they have
undergone."

ments must come to an understanding.
He told his friends that neither no
nor General Villa had any candidate
for the Provisional Presidency, but
would support any capable and honor
able man who represented the prin
ciples and ideals for which the revo
lution had been fought.
He Insists that if General Carranza
refuses to enter into an agreement on
the provisional government to be cre
ated by a coalition of the divisions of
the original constitutionalist move
ment, the moral support and recog
nition of the United States should be
accorded to those elements in Mexico
which are willing to stop fighting and
support a government created by peace
ful agreement and standing for liberal
principles.
Major-General Hugh Scott, chief of
staff of the United States Army, was
the only official on whom General
Angeles called today.
It is understood that General Angeles
explained to General Scott that, as a
precaution against the counter revo
lutionary movement of Huerta and his
followers, large forces of Villa troops
had been dispatched northward and
that General Villa also had sent thou
sands of men to garrison the coal fields
and other parts of Northern Mexico,
which comprised the base of supplies
for his army.

CORNISH. N. H., June 29. An unsuc
cessful effort was made today to ar
range an interview here between Presi
dent Wilson and General Felipe An
geles, the Mexican leader, who recently'
came to the United States and who
wants to give the President his view
of conditions in Mexico and to suggest
a way of meeting Mr. Wilson's warning
that the situation there must change.
Colonel Jesus M. Agullar and Major
Trenco a Garcia, who said they were
members, respectively, of the staffs of
General Angeles and General Raoul
Madero, arrived In the course of the
day bearing letters of introduction from
General Madero and General Angeles,
but were told that details of the Mexi
can situation were being handled by
the State Department at Washington
and that it would be impossible for
General Angeles to see the President
here.
The two Mexicans denied reports that
General Angeles was connected with
General Victoriano Huerta in any move
ment to start another revolution In
Mexico. They said that General An
freles and General Villa are warm
friends, and that both would oppose
Huerta to the end. According to Agui-
lar and Garcia, both Generals Angeles
and Villa favor the election of Vasquez
Tagle, the only member of the Madero
Cabinet who did not resign, as pro
visional President of Mexico.
The Villa leaders are hopeful, they
said, that Tagle can be agreed on and
be recognized by the United States.

German position near Festurburt, which
five regiments had previously failed
to capture, according to information
received in Portland yesterday. News
that Young Stevens, who was a ser
geant in his battalion, had been wounded
reached this city some time ago, but it
was not until yesterday that his death
was confirmed.
Sergeant Stevens' death is said to
have occurred at the end of five days
of terrific fighting in which his battalion
had been engaged. When the battalion
was finally called out to storm the
German postion, the Canadians are
said to have gone into the hail of
shot as unmoved as though they were
on street parade.
Sergeant Stevens, who was 20 years
old, was born near Victoria, B. C. He
was a graduate of Victoria High School
and took two years engineering work
at McGill University. He was em
ployed as a civil engineer on the Cana
dian Northern Railway when the call
for volunteers came in Canada and he
resigned to go to the front. He was
made a corporal in the Sixteenth Bat

afterwards a sergeant.
He is survived by his parents, a

land and had many friends here.
FORGED REGISTRY ASKED
BRITISH BILL. PROVIDES LISTING
OF RESOURCES IN PERSONS.
Author's Idea Is to Organize Service of
Every Class and Community to
Aid Government.
LONDON, June 29. Walter Hume
Long, president of the local govern
ment board, today Introduced In the
House of Commons a bill for the com
pilation of a national register, the ob
ject of which he said was not to co
erce labor, but to secure complete In
formation regarding the resources of
the country and to enable them to be
satisfactorily organized.
The measure seeks to classify all
persons below the age of 65 and to
ascertain the present occupation and
direction wherein service can be ren
dered by each.
Introducing the bill, Mr. Long said in
Justification for national legislation
that it was the paramount duty of all
to bring to the help of the state the
organized service of every class and
community.
There would be a compulsory regis
tration of the people of the country,
both male and female, between the ages
of 15 and 65. and every one would be
asked to tell his age and present em
ployment and to volunteer for any spe
cial form of employment other than
that on which he actually was engaged.
Mr. Long believed that such legisla
tion would enable the government to
take full advantage of the service of
everybody to the benefit of the state.

to include Scutari In the future state of
Albania and had offered compensation
to King Nicholas in money and land on
condition that he give up Scutari. The
Montenegrin King announced- that he
would hold Scutari against the powers
and, as a result, the international naval
blockade of the Montenegrin coast was
extended.
Eventually, on further demand of the
powers, King Nicholas decided to
evacuate Scutari, which was occupied
by an international force in May, 1913.
Austrian Influence Condemned. -
A .dispatch from Rome says that the
Tribuna publishes a note issued by
Montenegro to the powers explaining
her action In Scutari. The note says:
"Montenegro and Serbia have both
suffered as the result of difficulties
created by Albania."
The note condemns Austrian Influ
ence in Albanian affairs and adds:
"The sacking, of Montenegrin trans
ports on the Boyana River by the Al
banians and their irruption on Monte
negrin territory compelled Montenegro
to occupy some necessary positions to
avoid new attacks."

FRIENDSHIP
Sensible Men, Says Envoy, Do
Not Sacrifice Years to Sin
gle Misunderstanding.
VIEWPOINTS NOT SAME
Bernstorff's Personal Agent Tells
Countrymen There Is No Real
Reason Why Antagonism
Shall Continue to Exist.
BERLIN, June 29, via wireless to Say-
vllle, N. T Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard,
special representative of Count von
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador to
the United States, says in an article
published in Der Tag today that he is
convinced that both Germany and
America have misunderstood each other.
He says he Is convinced that a large
part of the American people disapprove
the filling by American factories of
orders for ammunition for the allies.
He adds:
"Equally there are Americans who
condemn violation of Belgium neu
trality and the sinking of the Lusl-
tania. and are unable to understand the
German idea of the real conditions,
while Germans are unable to under
stand why Americans could travel on
an ammunition ship. Both peoples are
laboring under different opinions. Both
havo lived hitherto In peace and friend-
hip and. should continue so to live.
There Is no real reason for antagonism
existing between them."
Former Friendship Weakened.
In his article Dr. Meyer-Gerhard
speaks of the causes which, he says.
weakened Germany's former friendly
feeling toward America, citing them as
what he alludes to as the latter'a in
clination towards England and muni
tion sales in America. Germany, on the
other hand, is reproached with violat
ing Belgian neutrality and devoting it
self to militarism in order to conquer
the whole world. The deaths of Ameri
cans on the Lusltania unfavorably af
fected American sentiments toward
Germany, he adds.
Regarding the question of Belgian
neutrality and militarism, the writer
says the Germans cannot understand
the feeling aroused In America over
these questions, as they know Belgium
surrendered' her own neutrality and
that militarism is only the German na
tion in arms for Its own defense. The
American viewpoint is different, how
ever, and each nation feels itself
wrongly treated by the other, he con
cludes.
Friendship Not Held Lightly.
No sensible man. he said, will light-
heartedly throw away a friendship of
long years because he cannot on one
occasion make himself completely
understood. Sensible nations, he
argued, will conduct themselves In
like manner.
'Friendship between Germany and
Amercia," declared Dr. Meyer-Gerhard,
is a valuable possession for both na
tions, and it is worth while to take
care that It be saved to both."
The Lokal Anzeiger. which also
printed the article, commenting edi
torially on it, said:
The foregoing remarks bv Dr.
Meyer-Gerhard show that the Imperial
government is on the right road with
ts treatment of questions existing be
tween us and the United States. It is
to be wished also that those circles
which hereofore have been Inclined to
make light of our differences with
America as being utterly unimportant
will let themselves be taught better
by Dr. Meyer-Gerhard's words."
Expressions AVnrmly Commended.
The Tageblatt strongly commends
Dr. Meyer-Gerhard's expressions. The
Kreuz zeitung in a lengthy editorial
agrees with Dr. Meyer-Gerhard that
the American friendship is a valuable
possession and expresses a willingness
to have Germany do everything pos
sible to maintain it. Asserting, how
ever, that Germany is engaged In a
war ror existence, the paper asks what
value to America could German friend
ship be after Germany's political and
economic existence was destroyed. The
Kreuz Zeitung continues:
So long as Germany's existence is
threatened, Germany cannot abandon
any means at hand for hindering or
restricting shipments of munitions to
her enemies. Such an abandonment
would be contrary to the dictates of
national self-preservation and the hu
manitarian duties towards the brave
soldiers and their wives and children.
These are unable to contemplate the
American shipments with Dr. Meyer
Gerhard's calmness while their dearest
ones are standing under a hail of
American shells which give the enemy
the power to continue a war of de
struction against Germany."
America Blamed as Whole.
The Kreuz Zeitung says that It
cannot admit Dr. Meyer-Gerhard's dec
laration that only a small part of the
population of the United States is re
sponsible for the shipments, whereas
a great majority is against them, and
adds:
"What the American Government and
manufacturers of munitions do against
Germany is done by America. The op- I
position of large circles in America
does not change that fact till it meets
with success.'
The Kreuz Zeitung says that -Dr.
Meyer-Gerhard forgets one fact at
which the Germans take offense in
America's policy.
America allows England to treat
foodstuffs and raw materials as abso
lute contraband with the friendly in
tention of starving German women and
children," says the paper. "Whatever
protest America makes to England
makes no change whatever in the fact
that America is delivering these things
to our enemies while keeping them
from us, whether under compulsion or
not."
CRITICISM HITS SIR JOHN
(Continued From First Page.)
traordinary privileges enjoyed at the
British front by George Moore, for
merly of Detroit. Moore can come and
go at his own sweet will, and bring
along his friends, especially his women
friends, just as he chooses. When Mr.
Lloyd George, Lord Reading (the Lord
Chief Justice of England) and Sir John
Simon, the new Home Secretary, paid
their first visit to the firing line they
were taken Into the Belgian trenches
and into the French trenches; but when
they tried to get to the British ones
their entry was forbid. They were al-
owed to motor about behind but were
permitted to see nothing.
Moneyed Friend Has Free Hand.
When Moore comes along everything
is wide open for him and his friends.
It is even said that it was under his
protection that the military correspond
ent of the London Times got the op
portunity of opening the newspaper
campaign against Lord Kitchener on
the shells question. . I believe Moore
disclaims this and disapproves of the
results of the visit. This shows his
wisdom, because nothing has done Sir
John French so much damage as the
idea . that he has been Intriguing
against Lord Kitchener.
Moore Is a man of considerable
means. He has carried out some very
profitable promotions. He is the mov
ing spirit of a concern here known as
the Universal tock Exchange, which
some people are unkind enough to de
scribe as a bucket shop. General
French Is not a good business man.
and Mr. Moore, with the money-making
gift, has provided him with some re
munerative directorships. They are
close friends, and they occupy a large
house in common at Lancaster Gate,
overlooking Kensington Gardens. Some
people think the house is the General's,
others that it Is the sole property of
Moore, and they are probably right.
Sir John French supplies the distinc
tion and Moore the money.
Moore Is Reticent.
It Is a happy combination for both
of them, and if the war had not brought
General French under the limelight,
and If Moore's frequent visits to the
front had not excited jealousy, their
joint hoJsehold arrangement would
never have had the slightest Interest
for anybody but themselves.
Moore Is not disposed to talk about
his friendship for Sir John French or
his own trips to the front. He is a
cheerful, engaging roan, one should say
a pleasant and convivial companion.
When the World .representative called
on him at his house, Moore received
him with a cordial smile, but a provok-
lngly reticent tongue. He would say
nothing of the foundation or otherwise
of the alleged junketings at British
headquarters of which there has been
so much loose talk.' He is a man ot
average height and build, and an In
vincible smile. Whenever he doesn't
want to answer a question he smiles,
and as he smiles pretty well all the
time it is obvious he doesn't give many
answers.
"It is Impossible for me." he said.
smiling all the time, "to answer tn
questions you put to me. I am an
intimate friend of Sir John French, but
he is now In a position where we must
respect his dislike of publicity. I
really can't tell you anything of any
interest for publication." And he
smiled more persuasively than ever.
Kitchener Is Strensrthened.
It was not difficult to see that he
had been living in the open for a long
time, as he was heavily tanned. He
had Just returned from "somewhere In
France," and was only on a flying
visit to London. Passing -through the
hall one could not fail to see that a
British staff officer's cap. with its red
band, was lying on the table. It may
have been an old one of the British
Commander-in-Chief, or It may have
belonged to Moore himself; perhaps he
has an appointment on the staff. He
certainly would be more useful there
than many of those similarly favored.
Outside there was a stylish and powerful-looking
motorcar of the most ex
pensive brand. It was Moore's, and it
looked travel stained, as if it had just
come off a long Journey perhaps from
the coast.
Lord Kitchener's position has really
been strengthened by the character of
the attacks on him. Few people will
deny that Lord Northcllffe did a pub
lic service in drawing attention to the
lack of high-ex-''Hve shells, but every
one agrees that it might have been
done without abusing Lord Kitchener.
That was a bad tactical error. Kitch
ener on his side has gained consider
able esteem for the way he has ignored
the attacks, especially as if he wished
to defend himself he could have thrown
the blame onto the shoulders of a
subordinate. General von Donop, the
Master General of Ordnance. But he
lias maintained a dignified reserve. Ha
has relied on General von Donop for
the supply of shells, and this official,
although assisted by a committee,
brought about the shortage by his old
fashioned War Office red-tape methods.
Lloyd George Suspected.
When the Prime Minister returned
from France, after hie mission to Brit
ish headquarters, he found that Lord
Kitchener was perfectly ready to make
It ud with General French, In the pub
lic interest. He made a journey, it is
said, to Dunkirk, where they met on
board a destroyer, and had a long and
friendly conversation. It is pretty cer
tain that if Kitchener was out for re
venge he could have had it, for if he
had refused to accept the hand of
French, the latter's recall could not be
long delayed.
The most striking feature of the
politico-military situation is the posi
tion of Lloyd George. At the House
of Commons they reiterate among
themselves that Lloyd George was at
the bottom of the intrigue against
Kitchener.
The scheme was to shunt both Kitch
ener and Asquith, that French was to
replace Kitchener and Lloyd George to
take the Premiership. The effort to
force Asquith to resign is still being
pursued, athough it has now no prom
ise of success.
It is doubtful if Lloyd George can
ever again hope to regain the confi
dence of the Liberals and Radicals, not
only because of the plot he Is suspected
of being implicated in against Asquith,
but on account of his glib adoption ot
the principle of compulsion, both for
workers and military service. This was
done, it is suggested, to please the
Tories, to whom he is looking for sup
port when he tries to realize his scheme
of creating a new National party to
rule after the war. But Mr first step
has failed. Compulsion is dead for the
time being, and it is believed that all
the wants of the war. Immense as they
are. will be met by the voluntary sys
tem. YOUNG WIFE CRITICISED
DOCTOR SAYS ATTITUDE TOWARD
CHILD-BEARING IS WRONG.
Universal Franchise Declared to In
volve Truer Patriotism Than Ap
plauding National Anthem.
CHICAGO, June 29. Wrong ideals
instilled into the minds of the young
women by their mothers are more
potent factors in problems of vice than
commercialized immorality, according
to Dr. Albert A. Ogle, of Indianapolis,
who spoke today before the bureau of
sanitary science in connection with the
annual convention of the American In
stitute of Homeopathy. Dr. Ogle said:
"At the beginning of married life
the foundation of home and all future
happiness is seriously menaced by the
pernicious education of the young
wives who have been allowed to de
velop the idea that they must not be
come mothers during the first year of
married life.
"They marry, but they refuse to as
sume their responsibility to the state
and to the community imposed by the
marriage contract. Mothers talk freely
of domestic responsibility as onerous.
They lay stress on the advantages and
ofttlmes on the necessity for a match
that will improve both the family and
social standing. When speaking of
possible children they do so in a de
rogatory manner and openly and re
peatedly express the hope that their
daughters will never have any.
"Such women belong to every class
of society, within the portals of the
church as -pii as without. In the uni
versal franchise that is soon to be
theirs they must realize that there is
a. deeper, truer patriotism than the
mere act of standing and waving a bit
of white during the playing of the
National anthem. Their patriotism
must be expressed in the Intelligence
and integrity of children."

Idea of Borrowing Abroad Rejected
as Impracticable Reduction of
Personal Expenditures De

LONDON. June 29. The first really
big subscription to the war loan, the
application made by a London assur
ance company for 3.000,000 If- 5.000.
000) of the new loan, was announced
at the Guild Hall meeting today.
Premier Asquith opened the meeting
by saying that apart from many of its
"other features," the present war was
the costilest that ever had been waged,
with the total prospective expenditure
for the year approaching a thousand
millions of pounds (5,000.000,000), the
dailv expenditure being, and likely to
be for weeks and months to come,
something like $15,000,000.
Premier Tells of Need of Thrift.
Turning to tne necessity for thrift,
Mr. Asquith said:
"Waste on the part of either in
dividuals or classes, which always is
foolish and shortsighted, is. in these
times, nothing short of national dan
ger." .
The Premier then proceeded to In
quire how a country which normally
had only 300,000,000 or 400,000,000
pounds sterling to spare yearly could
get this huge, unprecedented draft out
of its resources. He dismissed as im
practicable the idea of selling invest
ments in property or of borrowing
abroad.
"The amount that could be raised
abroad in comparison with the sum
needed would be practically infin
itesimal." he said. "And if this were
possible we should face the proposi
tion of ending the war a debtor coun
try." Savings 9inst Be Increased.
The only solution, he said,' was for
his countrymen to increase their sav
ings. "The only possible relations between
ourselves and other countries afford
grounds, I don't say for anxiety, but
for serious thought. For the first five
months of the present year our im
ports have increased 32.500,000 ($162,
500.000), while our exports and re
exports have decreased by 73.550,000
($368,750,000). That means for 12
months our indebtedness to other coun
tries will reach over 260.000,000
($1,300,000,000).
"The only way to counteract this Is
by reducing all unnecessary personal
expenditure on Imported articles, such
as tea, sugar, wine, petrol, etc., and
on goods made in this country, so that
a larger quantity may be left to be
sold abroad."
Ideals Beyond Shores Involved.
Remarking that it was not merely
a question of self-preservation, Mr. As
quith proceeded:
"There is not a man or woman who
has seen what is hanging in the bal
ance but who has during the last year
become greatly conscious that the bat
tle In which We are engaged touches
interests and ideals far beyond the
shores of these islands, beyond even
theconfines of our world-spread em
pire, and realizes that it concerns the
whole future of humanity."
"Is right of force to dominate man
kind?" asked the Premier, remarking
that comfort, prosperity and a secure
ly sheltered existence perhaps in some
conventional type or religion couia oe
purchased at a price. He concluded:
"But at what a price! At the sacri
fice of what makes life, national or
personal, worth living. Rather than
make sacrifice, we . shall fight to the
end, till the last farthing of our
money, to the last ounce of our
strength, and to- the last drop or our
blood."

LONDON. June 30. That the recruit

out in Parliament last night, when the
House of Commons voted a resolution
adding 50,000 men to the navy.
Thomas J. McNamara, financial sec

asking the vote the admiralty were
looking well ahead.
He said that so keen had been the
desire to join the navy that more
men had been enrolled than .were re

SHIP BILL OPPOSED
Chambers of Commerce Give
Strength to Foes.
DEFEAT SEEMS POSSIBLE
Democratic Opposition In Hoose Is
Sufficient to Doom Measure If
Members Hold Out Against
White Ronse Pressure.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 29. The Administration's
plan to revive the ship-purchase bill at
the next session of Congress received
a setback when the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States disclosed
that 698 Chambers of . Commerce In
various cities opposed that legislation
and only 82 chambers favored it. The
plan received an even more forceful
blow from the disclosure that 711
chambers were opposed to the Govern
ment ownership of merchant vessels to
be operated by private owners under
leases, whereas only H chambers fa
vored this plan.
Chambers of Commerce, representing,
as they do, the commercial Interests
of their respective cities, the poll con
ducted by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States will probably have
considerable weight with Congress.
The fact that these chambers are
overwhelmingly opposed to Government
ownership and operation of merchant
vessels, and still more opposed to Gov
eminent ownership of merchant vessels
operated privately under leases. Is an
Indication of public sentiment on what
was one of the leading questions be
fore Congress at its last session, and
what promises to be one of the prin
cipal issues at the next session.
The Democrats, having increased
their strength in the Senate at the
last election, and Senator Burton, the
chief opponent of the ship-purchase
THE PAIN OF NEURALGIA
People think of neuralgia as a pain
in the head or face, but neuralgia may
affect any nerve of the body. Different
names are given to It when It affects
certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the
sciatic nerve is called sciatica, but the
character of the pain and th nature of
the disease is the same, the cause is the
same and the remedy to be effective
must be the same.
The pain neuralgia Is caused by
starved nerves. The blood, which nor
mally carries nourishment to the
nerves, for some reason no longer does
so and the pain that you feel is the
cry of the nerves for food. The reason
why the blood fails to properly nour
ish the nerves is often because the
blood Itself is weak and thin.
Anemia, or thin blood, is the most
common cause of neuralgia. Build up
the thin blood with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and you are attacking neuralgia
at its root. These tonic pills also have
a peculiar and direct action on the
nerves so that they are probably the
very best possible remedy for the
treatment of neuralgia.

bill, having retired to private life. It
is thought possible a ship-purchase bill
may be forced through the Senate. In
the next House the Democratic major
ity is small; Republican sentiment is
practically unanimous against the ship
purchase bill, and some of the leading
Democrats of the House also are
arrayed against the President on that
question.
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York, chairman of the appropriations
committee and a member of great In
fluence, is against the ship-purchase
bill; all the Tammany Democrats in
the House are understood to be against
It. and even Representative Kitchin,
who Is slated to become floor leader
and chairman of the ways and means
committee, served notice on the Presi
dent last February that, if the ship
ping bill failed at that session and
were brought up at the next session, he
would oppose it actively.
There are other Democrats In the
House who do not want the ship-purchase
bill to pass, and If these Demo
crats hold their ground and resist pres
sure from the White House, they are
ample in numbers to defeat the bill.
