Artillery Is Greatest
War Department Item
Washington, July 27.?The major
item of the War Department's supple?
mental war estimates, listed as $2,46S,
613,000 for armament for fortifications,
covers the bulk of the mobile artillery '
programme, including mobile guns of
all calibres, Secretary Biker explained ]
to-day.
Mr. Baker also corrected tho impres
?ion that great numbers of tht guns to
be used by American troops In Franc"
would be finished in Frtnch gun shops
and fitted to French ammunition. All
of those finished abroad will be bored
and rifled for American ?immunition,
he said, and the total number eo fin?
ished will be only a small part of tho
department's enormous artillery pro-'
gramme.
Brigadier Gentl HP, chief of
ordnance, told the Senate Finance Com?

Democratizing the Navy
By C. W. Gilbert
r.ini-ton. July tt* '?'>? ?
la ha3 just carried his id?
| democracy la the navy to extraordi?
nary length?. A few days ago ha n::
r.ounced the appointment of a number
j of chief carpenters to be assistant
. naval constructors and of fifteen chief
i phanaaelata ?o l at surgeons.
']').i-, i.-i in accordance with tho purpose
that has actuated him since he first
took office, to afford promotion upward
in the aervlee from the non-commis?
sioned to commissioned ranks. The
war l.y creating a great many vacan
I cies has giver, him an undrcamed-of
' opportunity to put this theory into ef?
fect.
Contrary to the practico prevailing
la the army, whero educated young
men offering themselves for sen-ice
are '? ? i to officer the drafted j
troops, Mr. Daniels la making littic |
use of tho excellent muterial in tho :
naval reserve and ia sticking rigidly |

In making carpenters eOBatn
the Secretary has violated one of the ,
firmest traditions rot enly of th ?
but of civil lif" as well, namely
than an expert cannot be created b;
executive order. Constructors an
practically naval architects. Hitherto
like the engineering places .n th'
army, thtse posts lavo gone to the
men of highest standing in theii
classes at Annapolis. Promoting car?
penters to this rank is exactly like
turning house carpenters into hou.-e
architects.
Like medicine, ahip construction is
one of tho learned professions, so to
? ? D the learned i ?
hrive no terror.*, for the Secretary
with the theory, for ho has just by his
fiat turned t.fteen druggists into sur?

5,500,000 British
Troops Enrolled,
Premier States
Country Plans to Build
4,000,000 Tons of Ships
in Year
Pans, July 27.?David Lloyd Georgo,
the British Premier, to-day gave a
breakfast to a number of editors of!
important French newspapers, during
which he conversed fully with them on
the military situation and replied to
questions. The "Temps" this afternoon
gives a summary of his talk.
Mr. Lloyd Gtorga said that Great:
Britain now had bataraan 6,000,000 and
5,500,000 soldiers enrolled, without
counting between -100,000 am!
longing to the navy anil marly 1.000,
000 men from the dominions and col?
onies, ?'rant Britain had placed at the)
tion of her allies, he added, from
M) to 2,000.000 tons of merchant
N? *t year1 I oildlng programme
for merchants, which
gun, amounts to -: - , or twice
?is much as in a good year during peace
time. Alluding to the campaign a*
submarine-;, Mr. Lloyd George said:
"The diminution in shipping losses
i is conteatablf?, It is impossible to
. m this subject without paying
? to the aid given by 'lie \
ii an Navy, both regarding the ? :
? of convoys and by torped
, which have rendered on
invalual le aen ice."
Continuing, Mr. Lloyd George said
th.-it five million nien and women wan
now cngag. d in v;ar work in the United
Kingdom. Mon. women could be em?
ployed if the trades unions did not fear
the competition of women after the
war, but other countries seemed to have
experienced the same dificultiea, It
could be said that at the preaent timo
no English industry is working for in?
dividual interests, except in agricult?
ure.
Although the English people sincere-,
ly hoped that the present waf would
be the last war, Mr. Lloyd George con?
tinued, the country intended to avoid
its previous error and in the future
would be able to aapporl itaelf. Ha
. | ? recognised that the lateat newa
from i waa not good news, but
that Kussia already had shown that
ahe poaaeaaed infinite resources and
was the land of the nnexpee!
In bidding farewell to his quests Mr.
Lloyd George said the world's futuro
depended on Great Britain ami France
? together.
Germany Recalls Deserters

Plan for Rationing
Neutral Europe

May Compel Scandinavian
Countries to Yield to
America
>S : hington, July 27.?A plan for
rationing tho northern Kuropean coun
pnt before President Wilson
to-day by the Exports Council.
The American government has no in?
tention of attempting to stop all neu
trul trniie with Germany, but will put

goods into er.emy territory.
Gradually th.* export control will

eg tot eargi ignttt under

ments which might be granted export
licentei from reaching the enemy.
Luropcan neutruls are not sull'ering
hardship through the withholding el
export licenses for food shipments by
the Exports Council pending th?
formulation of definite export policy,
if was stated by a competent authority
to-day. The neutral countries have
entirely adequate food stocks to enrry
them over until tho next harvest, it
iid.
Cotton Supplies Ample
As regards cotton and other article?,
which also are denied them under the
application of the exports control
legislatioa, the neutrals of Europe are
not suffering such pressure as to make
them tithti ttop th.'ir eommtret with
,7v or to make proposait to tin?
United Statt s or to the Allies.
The pit-sent policy of' the neutral
governments was said to be to realizo
the utmost possible from their ti
opportunities with both the Central
rt and the Allies, and at the
time to dtvitt m? ans to decide upon
courses of action to bo adopted Bhtn?
.in-* to tht elota
American markets tgaiatt them, is
siuliciently felt to arouse the people to
demand new measures.
Hope for Modification?
It is the hope of some of the neu?
trals that developmenti in the United
State? will compel the government to
modify the inconveniences imposed
upon them as a war policy, this hopo
: upon their misinformation
rning tht vitwt held by tht
American people. In some neutral
quartan tht view hat been held that
ru, buaiatta Intaretta of the i'nited
States would succeed in rendering*
virtually useless the government at?

Germany Taking
Gold from People
All Jewelry in Westphalia
Ordered To Be Handed Over
to Banks This Week
Amsterdam, July 27.--A frontier cor
? lent of the "Telegraaf" reports
that all privately owned gold ornaments
and jewelry in Westphalia have been
requisitioned this week and must be
hrnded over to the banks.
The daily recurring public notices,
printed in conspicuous type in German
newspapers, entreating citizens to aid
the fatherland by giving it their gold,
evidently are not producing results.
The "Weser Zeitung," of Bremen, pub?
lishes a renewed appeal, complaining
especially that the well-to-do public
still fails to realize the situation, and
that all gold must be handed in.
The newspaper cites examples of
members of the German imperial and
royal priaeoly houses sacrificing their
BOld and jewelry, and says competent
authorities calculate that .100.000.000 to
-.00,000,000 gold coins are being obsti?
nately hoarded in Gorn.a-.y, while the
value of gold ornaments ia estimated a*.
1,000,000,000 marks.
I'll.. ??Weser Zeitung" says the public
often asks whether gold cannot be lent
ii?tead of given ta the German Im?
perial Bank. Tho answer is no, be
cf.uio the lrtw demands gold aa a cow r
for paper money, und that it must be

Committee, May Be
Ready To-day
?
Senate Dry Clause Wins
Proposal for Committee on
War Expenditures To Be
Stricken Out
Washington, July 27.?Senate and
House conferrees on tho food control
bill made such substantial progress to
; day that a complete agreement seemed
probable by to-morrow.
The conferrees virtually agreed to
strike out the plan for a Congressional
joint committee on war expenditures,
. opposi-il by President Wilson, and to
accept the Senate amendment authoriz?
ing tho President to tix the price of
coal and coke and to take over mines.
There was also t? virtual agreement on
the Senate amendment to regulate the
making of contracts for the government
by the Defence Council's advisers.
Sentiment recardinj** the liquor
amendments seemed to be that Con
grftt should be satisfied to put the ban
on whiskey, to authorize the com?
mandeering of distilled spirits in bond
i so far as necessary for government pur?
poses, and to authorize the President to
prohibit the making of beer and light
; wines.
What tho decision would be between
the Senate provision for a food board
of three and the Hou3o authorization
I for one food administrator remained
? (incertain.
In a communication to Congressional
conferrees on the food bill, the War
Emtrgtney Council of tho baking indus?
try to-day gave notice that the $2 min?
imum for wiieat proposed by the bill
trill permit of no reduction in tho pres?
ent price of broad.
Tho council urged that the price of
wheat be left to the food administra?
tion, and pointed out that only .1 per
cent of the population of the United
States was interested in a high price
for wheat; 95 per cent was interested
in a reasonable price for bread.
The council sees no immediate pros?
pect for reduction in bread price?.

Little Drifters Fight
Cruiser? to a Finish
Skipper, Thrice Wounded,
Stays at Post in Straits of
Otranto Engagement
Ottawa, Ont., July 27.?An attack by
three Austrian cruisera on a line of
British drifters employed in guarding
anti-submarine neta in the Straita of
Otranto, on May 15, is described in a
London despatch to Reuter's Ottawa
agency. It says:
"The drifters, in eight divisions of
about six boats each, were formed
along a lino running roughly east and
west. Each carried a crew of ten men
and ono small gun. In one case the
enemy appears to have acted with
chivalry toward the little craft, sig?
I nailing by means of blasts of the siren
? nnd by dipping the flag that the crews
must abandon their vessels. This
cruiser approached to within one hun
ilred yards of the Gowanlea and or?
dered her crew to take to the boats.
"Skipper J. Watt replied by ordering
i full speed ahead and. calling on the
! crew for three cheers, commanded
; them to light to a finish. They
1 manned the gun and iired with good
effect until a .shot from the cruiser
disabled the gun. They hung on under
' heavy tire until the cruiser passed out
j of ranee.
"The Gowanlea then proceeded to
. the assistance of the badly damaged
Leondia, which had f?>ur men killed
and three wounded, but whose skipper
though threu times wounded, remained
| at hia post. Meanwhile the remain?
ing cruisers had opened a devastating
fire on the centre of the line.
"The crew of the Admirable only
abandoned their vessel after her boiler
exploded and her whole house had
'. been shot away. Kven then A. Gordon,
a second hand, scrambled back on
board with the evident intention of
tiring the gua single-handed, but was
killed.
"The Girl Kose, Tora T. Haven and
Selby were not abandoned by their
crews until they foundered.
"The crews of th.? Garrigill, Bone
I spoir, Christmas Day and British
Crown refused to leave their vessels
even when out-ranged an.I under
broadaide fue from the enemy and
brought them through the action.
The British Admiralty on May 18
announced that fourteen drifters had
been sunk in a raid by Austrian
cruisers in the Adriatic Sea and that
the British cruiser Dartmouth was
torpedoed in a subsequent engagement,
nil* reached port safely.
