The adminis tration was jubilant today over the; organization at Albany, X. Y., of a new $2,000,000 steamship line under tie American flag to carry Pacific trade, under the nniue of the Pacific and East ern Steamship company. In view of the Pacific Mail's with drawal under the plea of hard times from the LaFollette seamen's act, the government saw in the new concern an offset to their removal and their claims. The line will begin operations within a few weeks. While huge New-York and Washington interests are known to bo backing tne new corporations, the incorporation papers do not reveal the real owners. The commerce department, has been in close touch with the backers and lias been informed of the new seamen ' act and the proposed ship purchase bill. The government, however, has no offi cial connection with the company and has made no concessions, It is claimed. The company, it is held, feels that it can make a profit and that the new laws will not have the adverse effect which the Pacific Mail attributed to them. The new venture will be a straight out biiBiuesB proposition, commerce de triment said. The backers plan to buy shiiis not now operating in the Pacific and transform them for the eastern service as soon as possible How man' there will be in the fleet. and other details are not yet ready for publication. In addition to the $2,000,000 capital stock, it is said other sums will be raised, so that a considerable line can be operated.

Is Possible Short of This Is New Leaders' Assertion Br William Philip Slmms. (United Press stuff correspondent.) Paris, Oct. 30.--" A- deviation of not one iota from the country's fixed pur pose to win tho war and crush German militarism," Prciiiier Briand told mo in an exclusive interview today "will be the new cabinet s policy. It was tho old ministry's platform and it will be ours." He received me at the office of the ministry of justice he is about to va cate in favor of Viviuni and granted me an interview, prior to his visit to President Poiucura at the palace. Essentially vigorous and always eliv qucnt, he spoke more .forcefully than over, never nave i situ nun more determined. "I desire til' world to understand that to thoroughly change the ministr ies does not imply a change in pol icies," he said. "We will continue firmly on with our allies, with the com mon motto, 'Victory.' - Permanent Peace Only. "For, by virtoty alone witl wo wiu nermanent psace. Ii compromise is possible. We muft enforce the right of every country to rule itself with each privileged to enjoy Its own culture and as you say in America, with security of lifo, liberty and property against mo lestation." It is trenerallv believed that the crea tion of the new ministry is a turning point in the nation's affairs.

New York, Oct. 30. Persistent ports from the capituls of the central allies suggest that a profouud reluct ance to continue the war' la developiug. The censorship of tho central allies prevents newspaper discussions of dis couraging developments permitted by more democratic JJritain. Despite the brave effort of the Teu tonic armies and their frequent mic cesses, no tangible end of tho war is in sight, however. The scarcity of food is unquestionably Berious for Germany The British blockade, closing the Hoi Innd gateway, is probably depressing the Germans, and at the same time the raids of British submnriues in the Bal tic are further cutting off the Teutonic supply of raw materials. It is easy to lose sight of the adverse forces while the Austro German urmies are unbeaten, and perhaps unbeatable. The internal situation, however, is no less important than the external. With out doubt the impressing seriousness nf the internal situation is causing the Germans to continue persistently to search for a bnsis for peace.

And the same mny be said of the boys in regard to tho manual training.
