F THE NEW SHIPPING BILL KUIT for a federal lnereliant'nmriiie will be reojiened in eonirress as soon as flu1 liolidav recess ends. Pri vate shipping interests proved too strong for sueh a meas ure at the last session, but the ensuing loss to shippers from lack of foreign transportation facilities has been so groat that inueh of the opposition i'rom commercial inter ests has been changed into support of the modified meas ures drafted by Secretary McAdoo. Our Washington correspondent sends the following summary of the principal provisions of the new bill: Tho government to build In American shipyards. The ships to be of the. oll-buruliig tpu of rlze ranging from .1000 to 10,000 tons displacement. Tho tpe to be Htandardled h government experts so that tho vessels shall be specially adapted to use as colliers and auxiliaries to the navy. Ships to be built both In private and In government-owned ship-yards; the latter anh to be additionally equipped to do the work. Tho gooinnient to bae power lo sell, lease or buy ships. Tho got eminent to act through a stock-Issuing corporation of whose stock tlio government would hold at least 51 per cent. The sum of fifty millions to be appropriated us a starter. Itegulatioil of marine freight rates to he attempted through a commis sion similar to tho Interstate. Commerce Commission. Regulation of foreign ships doing business In American poitrf through requiring foreign ships to secure a license before doing business horo. The bill provides for tho opening up of semi-abandoned government shipyards, many of Which are located on waterways too shallow to float the huge men-of-war now constructed Their utilization would be a boon to the local ities affected. Private shipyards cannot decently object, as all of them are contracted up to full capacity for years to come. The importance of oil as a fuel is dwelt upon and t.lu prediction made that, seagoing transportation is to undergo another revolution which may scrap the steamship fleet, as the added space, speed and economy ol operation give the fuel oil ship great advantages. The United States and Mexico are the principal sources ol oil supply and the United States could take its fuel from natural reserves within the country's borders. The navy needs fifty auxiliary ships. In war time they would be used to transport coal and supplies. In peace (hey could serve as the beginning of an American nier- c.uaiu marine m nut jii untitling npiorcign commerce. THEDA BARA AND RUSSIAN WOLFHOUND GIVEN BY COUNTESS 1 jr. .
