Declar ing Hint tho establishment of govern ment owned steamship lines Is & di rect attack on tho Invested capital and would mean tho ultlmnto destruc tion ot steamship lines which tho In genuity and wisdom ot a deserving class ot citizens have built up ami maintained In tho carrying trade oC tho United States, seven members ot tho committee on tho merchant ma rine Introduced today in tho house a minority report on tho merchant ma rine 1)111 which was framed to mcov conditions arising out ot tho Euro pean war. Tho report la signed by five republicans, Green, Mass.; Hinds, Maine; Curry. California; Edmonds, Pennsylvania; Parker, New York, and two democrats, Saunders, Virginia, and Thachcr, Massachusetts. Possibly tho most dangerous effee', of tho measure, tho report declares, would be tho result its enactment might have on tho position of neu trality on tho part ot the United States In the war. 'lHn Neutrality The bill, continues tho report. would. If it becamo law. stifle all commercial enterprise and turn over to tho government itself the power to crcato a merchant marine, which power could. It Is asserted, bo ex tended and enlarged so long as money remained in the treasury and as mucn longer as congress should provide by taxation to replenish the treasury. "The purchase ot foreign steam ships now used in the foreign trade." nays tho report, "would not increase tho number ot vessels now available for tho over-seas trade, even It they II , . wore granted an American registry. and no evidence has been produced that thcro aro not now mora vessel avallablo for use In the over-seas trado than could be used advantag eously In transporting- merchandise to the various markets ot the world, and it Is distinctly claimed that thcro la now ample avallablo tonnage. Therefore, thcro can bo no emer gency that calls for government owned lines to tako care ot tho pro ducts ot American labor and Ameri can capital." Granting that the situation seemed to warrant the introduction ot a bill to meet tho emergency due to the war the report says, "the bill Itself goes much further than the lino of emer gency and opens up the whole ques tion of tho development of an Amer ican merchant marine by proposing an absolulo scheme of government ownership involving an expenditure or many millions of dollars, which cannot fall to demand an Increase, of taxes which would have to bo boruo by the American people." Of Doubtful Expediency Tho signers ot the report charge that tho bill did not receive suffi cient consideration at the hands of tho committee and says that more ex tended hearings might have revealed some definite practicable system of action. Alluding to tho vital need of an American merchant marine, tlw report adds: "The mere buying of such vessel of foreign constructions as might bo purchased while the foreign war con tinues would be but the first step In a new and untried venture an ex IKtrlmcnt of doubtful exjiedlency which should not bo undertaken without serious consideration. "Tho establishment of steamship lines is a business proposition. It is not a political undertaking and should not bo a political proposition. If tho members examine this bill with car they will fail to discover therein a slnglo definite buslnesi proposition.'1 FOUND GUILTY OF W, Williams, a harness maker, wbb convicted In Jubilee Taylor's court this morning on a charge of hunting Chinese, pheasants and was fined 125.00 and costs.

Colonel Shumsky, the military correspondent ot tho Dourso Gazetto In a long criticism ot what he terms the Joint mistake ot Austro-Gcrman strategy, the effects of which, he says, aro now being re vealed on both fronts, considers that the Gallclan victory wa.i obtained at an opportune moment and that tho transfer ot German troops from the western to tho eastern frontiers hai now attained Its object. He says It Is fair to concludo that tho Russian successes on tho Aus trian frontier and tho Russian move1 ment In East Prussia were the pri mary causes ot tho victories of the Anglo-French army. The shocks ad ministered by tho Russian army, he declares, havo been so powerful that the Germans were obliged to recall a portion of their troops from France, thereby facilitating the French task.
