THE . OREGON DAILY JGUKJAU POr.TLAIO,. OHEGON. 0 SATURDAY, DECEllBEH 9, 1022. MIMY WOULD CONFINE AID TO CERTAIN SHIPS Washington, 'Dec - $.--W ASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) The ship subsidy bill win b reported to the senate tomorrow and taker up on Monday, the senate commerce com mission having completed its revision of the measure as passed by the boose. One Important ehang eliminate alt rebates of Income sad other taxes by which it was proposed to aid nhip- buUders ead operators 1 taxation ta- On the other hand, the period of sub- sidy contract was increased from -19 years to 15, which is considered un desirable, aa many feel that the coun try should not be tied down to sub sidy for such a Ions time. McNary was one of five voting against this lengthening- of, subsidy contracts, and voted for elimination of tax rebates. . He also offered and se cured adoption of ah amendment, which requires the shipping board to hold , public hearings before it refuses to en- .ter upon a subsidy contract, the pur pose in this being to allow a public ; shewing to be made by any ship owner who contends thai he has met that re quirement, and thus to guard against arbitrary action. ' amendment to eUmlr.aU; subsidy pay ments on high speed non-cargo ships such as the Majestic, Leviathan and other large ships which, as the bill now stands, win receive a large share of the payments. "Our chief purpose is the arranging of a merchant line to carry our goods," said McNary. "These bis; ships, although they would con sume a large part of the subsidy, earn' no roods. They carry only passengers and passengers at that who command the costliest accommodations and serv ice. I think we should consider well before we vote to include subsi-iy far this type of ships in the present bin. McNary suggested amendment which haa not yet been formally of fered, would, stop the subsidy practi cally with the 20 Knot snip, unaer the bill shins exceeding that speed would be paid the highest subsidy of all. Amendments proposed by the Port land Chamber of Commerce, other than the one requiring open hearings on re fused contracts, were not aaoptea oy the commission.

The plan looked very promising on paper. Bur- goyn came down Lak Champlain, cap tured Fort Ticonaeroga. at the soutb- rn end, according ' to schedule, and tnen iana piiuiety xorxn to - take Fort Edward. ;; But then his troubles began.. The Americans, under General FhHlp Schuyler, delayed his progress by breaking down bridges and cutting down trees, which they laid across the roads. Not until the end of July did the British reach Fort Edward. By this time, a large force of New Eng land militia had gathered in th Oreen mountain (a short distance to the east) and the village of Bennington had been turned into a depot of sup plies. Burgoyne, who waa running out cf food, sent out a detachment of Hes elans to capture these stores. . But the Americans, under Colonel John Stark, surrounded them and captured the entire lot. This was a heavy Mow to Burgoyne. - To add further to his trials, th Americans, encouraged by their victory, dared to take the of fensive, and move Into , the woods to cut off possible English retreat to Lake Cham plain.
