INSURE CONTRABAND
FOREIGN SHIPS EXCLUDED
Scop of War Risk Bureau Broad
ened to Facilitate More Thor
oughly America's Commerce
With Other Rations.
WASHINGTON. March 20. The Gov
ernment war risk insurance bureau,
which heretofore has Insured only non
contraband, announced today that it
would "broaden the scope of Its opera
tion" and hereafter Insure practically
all forma of contraband for European
countries except arms and ammuni
tion. The decision to insure contraband
was reached at a meeting between
Secretary McAdoo and the advisory
board of the bureau, and was an
nounced In the following statement:
"Secretary McAdoo, following: a
meeting with the advisory board of
ma war KlsK Insurance Bureau and
the director of that bureau, announced
that, owing: to present conditions and
with a view to facilitating more thor
oughly the commerce of the United
States, the bureau would broaden the
scope of Its operations and insure more
generally cargoes and vessels bound to
European countries.
"Insurance policies will cover prac
tically everything except guns, arms
and ammunition."
Only American Ships Insured.
Under the law no insurance can be
Issued on vessels or cargo of vessels
other than American. Heretofore the
bureau has declined to Issue policies
on articles declared contraband by
belligerents, including almost all Amer
ican products, with the result that
only a small percentage of the Amer
ican trans-Atlantlo merchant fleet was
Insured by the Government.
Even with this restriction, the bureau
has Issued approximately $200,000,000
in Insurance since its Inauguration in
September, 1914. Total losses have
been small, the amount of the original
appropriation of 15,000,000 by Congress
for the payment of losses having been
reduced about $600,000. Premiums for
policies are not available for the pay
ment of losses, but have to be turned
In to the Treasury.
- Bigger Fund to Be Asked.
Recently Congress appropriated J15,
000,000 additional for the payment of
losses, bringing the total approximately
up to J20.000.000. and indications are
that at the forthcoming extra session
request will be made for a still further
appropriation.
Shortly after the break with Ger
many rates were advanced from 100 to
900 per cent by the bureau, or up
to 2 per oent ,of the value of the vessel
or cargo to certain ports In the war
tone. Although these rates are ap
preciably lower than those charged by
private Insurance companies, there is
little indication that they will be ad
vanced. GIRLS BACK CADET CORPS

PEACE DESIRES IMPUGNED
Cologne , Gazette Defends Senator
. Stone and Says Break In Rela
tions and Arming of Ships
Challenge Germany.
BERLIN, via London. March 20.
Commenting on a delayed wireless dis
patch sent by the Wolff Bureau's cor
respondent In New York, which said
President Wilson was trying to main
tain peace, the Cologne Gazette says:
"The people must not forget that
this Is the personal opinion of the cor
respondent. But the facts paint a dif
ferent picture of President Wilson's
policy. What was President Wilson's
abrupt break In relations with Ger
many but a challenge to Germany?
And is not the arming of American
merchant ships, which even includes
ships carrying ammunition and uncon
ditional contraband, even a stronger
challenge to Germany?
"The correspondent also overlooks
the recent exciting Congress debate,
otherwiee he could not send the un
contradicted claim that the American
Government will do nothing to arouse
the feelings of America against Ger
many. What was the betrayal of our
proposal of an alliance with Mexico
but a means to arouse sentiment hos
tile to Germany? Why did Senator
Stone, who uprightly seeks peace,
throw himself with all his Influence
against the most recent act of Presi
dent Wilson unless 'because. In his
conviction and that or almost the en
tire Congress, It meant war?
"And does the writer think that
peace is promoted by the utterance of
rresioeni wiison awarding Alsace
Lorraine to France?
"Certainly President Wilson doea not
want war if he can secure our defeat
without It. But he will do all to secure
this defeat, and if it is impossible
otherwise, he will not hesitate to make
war."
PEACE DESIRE IS CREDITED
Frankfurter Zeitung Thinks Wilson
Would Avoid War.
BERNE, via Paris, March 20. The
Frankfurter Zeitung. commenting on
the Wolff Bureau wireless dispatch as
serting 4hat President Wilson Is seek
ing at all costs to avoid trouble with
Germany, . says: "President Wilson
broke off relations with Germany, not
In preparation for war, but on the
contrary, as a measure to avoid a con
flict." In support of this contention, the
Frankfurter Zeitung declared that
President Wilson's appeal to other
neutral states was made with abso
lute confidence that they would re
spond favorably. The failure of the
neutrals to comply, the paper asserts,
was "undoubtedly a most frightful
dissapointment." and helped Washing
ton to realize that Germany would
hardly let slip from its grasp the wea
pon It had decided on after much thor
oughgoing deliberation.
"President Wilson does not regard
war as the only solution of the prob
lem," the paper adds. "It is difficult
to see how he expects to avoid war
arter arming merchantmen, but he
does not want war."
The paper is of the opinion that Ger
many is not well Informed about the

LEGAL CONTEST FORECAST
Measure Making Spreading of I. W.
W. Doctrine a Felony Is Vetoed
Because of Fear That It
Would Stop Free Speech.
OLTMPIA, Wash., March 20. (Spe
cial.) With his final consideration to
night of bills passed by the recent Leg
islature, Governor Lister wiped out by
veto the entire appropriation for the
maintenance of the state bureau of in
spection, amounting to 843,700.
He also vetoed an appropriation of
86000 for two years salary of C. Will
Shafer, state law librarian and killed
S. B. 246, which makes it a felony to
discuss or advocate I. W. W. doctrine
in the state.
Other items vetoed In the general ap
propriation bill include $9000 for main
tenance of the executive mansion. $1500
for the bureau of labor and 8250 ap
propriated to Cutter and Malmgren. of
Spokane, for planning improvements to
the Spokane armory, on the ground that
they originally offered to do the work
free of charge.
In filing his veto message the Gov
ernor calls attention to failure of the
Legislature to authorize Investigation
of the Auditor's office, under which the
bureau of inspection is operated for
the auditing of all other state, city and
county offices and concludes:
"If it be unnecessary to have a check
of the Auditor's offloe, which Is clearly
the most Important department of the
state In the matter of payment of pub
lic funds. It seems to me that I am jus
tified In taking he position that it
would be unwise to appropriate 843,
700 to be used in checking other de
partments of the state."
The bureau of Inspection veto cuts
off three members of the bureau draw
ing salaries of' 82500 a year each, dep
uty inspectors, clerk hire, funds for
examining institutions and depart
ments, supplies, materials and service.
Veto to Bo Contested.
In anticipation of such action mem
bers of the bureau and C. W. Clausen,
State Auditor, who Is chief of the bu
reau, have procured legal counsel and
will contest the veto on the ground
tnat tne Dureau has been regularly es
tablished by statute at fixed salaries
and cannot be abolished except by leg
islative act.
Governor Lister relies upon the con
stitutional power ho has of vetoing any
act of the Legislature, together with
the fact that the bureau is neither a
constitutional nor elective office.
In vetoing the salary of the state law
librarian, which at 83000 a year is an
increase of 8600 annually over the pre
ceding two years, the Governor holds
the Increase to be unjustified, and that
the work can be adequately per-
rormea Dy tne two assistants provided
for at the respective salaries of 81500
and 81200 a year.
The veto of 81500 for supplies, ma
terial for the bureau of labor, is ex
plained as due to an error in the
original appropriation, which left the
allowance for factory inspectors at
81500 Instead of 815.000. The error
was corrected ln the supplemental bud
get. In approving an Item in the appro
priation bill of $3287 for the relief of
C. W. Clausen. State Auditor, the Gov
ernor points out that while 82759 of
tne amount was used by the Auditor In
checking the Industrial Insurance
Commission, following disclosure of
the Gillies frauds, 8527 of the appro
prlation was used by Clausen for print
lng 2000 copies of the report on Drl
vate request. b a private Olympla
firm, or 8124 more than would have
been charged had the work been done
by the State Printer.
I. W. W. BUI Vetoed.
In commenting on his constitutional
Inability to reduce a fraction of a
single appropriation except by vetoing
tne entire amount, the Governor ex
pressly puts the State Auditor up
against paying what he intimates Is an
excessive private printing bill for the
department.
The bureau report on the '-lustrlal
insurance department contained vigor
ous criticism of its administration. It
was printed for private circulation
among employes contributing to the
fund.
Governor Lister's stated reasons for
vetoing the L W. W. bill are as follows
"As the enactment of a law relating
to a special subject, such as that cov
ered In this bill, could carry with It
Bumcient rorce to rree the state from
the disturbing and oftentimes destruc
tive Influences of false doctrines. I
would Indeed' be justified In placing
such a law on our statute books.
"I cannot feel, however, that such a
law would be of sufficient force to
onng about this much-desired eondl
tlon. It seems to me that we will se
cure more substantial and permanent
results by following the course of en
forcing the comprehensive laws we now
nave, against all violators of urh law.
rather than by specializing and placing
"a ion statute dooks a law for the pur
pose of, by punishment provided in it,
endeavoring to crush doctrines, no mat
ter how false such doctrines may be.
Appeal Made to Citizemsblp.
"While the results desired to be se
cured by those who advocate the
measure now before me may be proper
in every respect, yet I cannot feel that
these results will be brought about by
allowing such a measure as this to be
come a law.
"There Is more than the enactment
of laws necessary to control the feel
ing of unrest which now exists in this
and other states of the Union. There
must be a reawakening to the" respon
sibilities of citizenship, and to bring
this about the assistance of all good
citizens is required. Thej(?"was never
a time In the history of our country
when It was more necessary that we
should have a united citizenship than
today.
"I cannot feel that the "placing of
Senate bill No. 264 on our statute books
will be of any assistance in accom
plishing such a result."
