Need tmr Money Pressing. Loans to China, particularly through New York bankers, not only have been repeatedly negotiated for during the past year, hut have been regarded as essential to China's continued freedom from revolution. Officials at Pekin have concealed the fact that there has been a pressing need for money to meet the heavy expenses of the government and of a very large standing army. last Spring the American Interna tional Corporation tentatively offered a $5,000,000 advance on the reconstruc tion of the Grand Canal and later con sidered seriously the suggestion for a loan of J30.000.000 with an immediate advance, of $4,000,000 to this made through the State Department.

Assistant Secretary Tells Mining Congress Fast Ships Authorized Cunnot Be Built Vnlcss Pe troleum Is Supplied. CHICAGO, Nov. 16. The life of the United States Navy is at stake in the fight to retain Government control of the California petroleum reserves. As sistant Secretary Roosevelt, of the Navy, asserted in a paper read tonight be fore the annual meeting here of the American Mining Congress. "It may be set down as a definite conclusion," said the paper, "that the Navy, cannot revert to coal-burning vessels without enormous loss of effi ciency and, furthermore, that the Navy will not so revert." The article Is the Navy Department's opening attack in the renewal of the fight in Congress over the Phelan amendment to the general oil land bill designed to protect the claims of Cali fornia operators. Navy officials have insisted that the policy of building oil burning ships could not be carried out if the amendment prevailed and Secre tary Daniels appealed directly to Presi dent "Wilson when action seemed immi nent during the last session of Con gress. Oil's Advantages Pointed Out. Mr. Roosevelt's paper declared that oil fuel for the Navy meant Increased speed and cruising radius, control of smoke for smoke screens, reduced fire room by 55 per cent, refueling at sea with an Increased efficiency of 25 per cent; ability to sustain maximum speed for long periods of time without clogging furnaces; flexibility in speea. and finally, greater safety from sub marines, as in modern American ships the fuel oil is disposed along the bottom to cushion the blow of exploding torpedoes. The 35-knot battle cruisers, scouts and destroyers authorized by Congress could not be built, the paper asserted, if coal fuel were to be employed. The need to "prepare for peace in time of war" and a proposal for Gov ernment approval of a scheme for co operative selling of mining products were presented at the banquet tonight by Carl Scbolz, of Chicago, president of the congress. He warned his hearers that the end of the war will force this country to face a, European competl tion reinforced by increased efficiency in work and backed up by a people in ured to a simpler standard of living than obtains on this side of the At lantic. I'nited Effort Counseled. "In the days of the guilds It was the employers and workers of one industry against other industries," he said. "Why not now mine operators and mine workers for the best interests of the minlne IndustryT "The success of one depends on the other. Ffficiency will follow, under such conditions. "In the coal Industry there is espe cial need for co-operative work which must have the sanction of the Govern ment instead of the distrust now exist ant. Co-operative, selling methods are essential, co-operative work alone can solve such questions, as the coking of Western coals to be used as smokeless fuels, manufacture of by-products, such as dyestuffs. ammonia and thousands of other products which would develop industries now unknown to us. "The topic of labor and legislation affecting it is uppermost in the minds of our people. The sympathy of the public is naturally with the laboring man. It is not best that this feeling shall carry public sentiment too far. because capital can only pay labor out of its .earnings. Strikes and lockouts are destructive to our resources just as wars are destroying lives. They are so absolutely out of place that heavy punishment to those responsible should be inflicted." Nov. 16. Special.) Major Peter C. Field, Medical Corps, United States Army, left this post tonight for Oalex lco. Cal.. under urgent telegraphic or ders from the War Department.
