Purpose of Coast Guard
Legislation Explained
to Members of House
The coast guard bill, combining the
revenue cutter service with the lifesaving
service, went to the Senate today,
after having passed the House
yesterday following a bitter attack
upon it bv Representative Mann of Illinois
? - -? ^..1 /-?f nan. I

coast guard, and provides a 75% pen- j
sion tor Supt. Kimball, the veteran !
chief of the life-saving service, who I
has been instrumental in building that '
service from nothing to what it is today.
The bill lias the indorsement of
the administration, and is sorely needed.
according to officers in both services.
,
The claim is made that it is now hard:?>
obtain good men, owing to the dan- .
serous occupation, the comparatively ,
?mnll pay and the lack of a pension I
system. I'nder the coast guard bill |
setter rewards are promised the men. J
Measure Is Explained.
The bill was explained succinctly in J ,
lie House by Representative Thacher ;
Massachusetts, who said: j
"All along the coast of our country J (
lie story is the same. It is the same i
'ry, "(rive us men." The service is de- j
eriorating. The young men of the type
[escribed refuse to enlist, and seek }
letter paid employments, such as fish- j
ng. operating motor boats and other ; '
mrsuitK, and the older men. broken !
lown sometimes in body, mind and
uirse. are leaving the service. These j j
arts are indisputable. J*et us examine 11
he conditions which the life-saving j1
ervioe faces today and the provisions j t
>f relief to be furnished by the coast t
juard bill: !j
"Owing to insufficient pay and lack j,.
>f a retired list, practically one-third j ^
?f tli life-saving stations are now (f
ither undermanned or manned witli L
neflicient men. f
"An average of eleven men a year j
lie in the service from disease or exlosure
incident to the hazardous duties.
"In addition an average of twentytine
men are discharged annually be- j
ore the expiration of their enlistments !
>11 account of physical unfitness, de- ; r
-eloped as incident to exposure and j
heir hazardous duties.
"The revenue cutter service and the j
ife-saving service, both de\*oted in the i1
nain to the saving of life and property j ^
rom the ravages of the sea, are now | t
perated as distinct organizations, al- ( t
hough formerly administered by one j s
xecutive head." t c
i
What Bill Contemplates. ,
lie pointed out that the coastguardi*
>ill contemplates: | g
"Great increase in the efficiency of the i 1
ife-saving service by: ?
"cnmhinine both services under one i i
executive head. | f
"Providing a retired list for the men i
>n account of age or after thirty
ears' service.
"Giving the men of the life-saving
tcrvice longevity pay for re-enlist-l *
nents. I f
"Giving the men of the life-saving i t
tervice clothing allowance and medi- ^
al attention from the public health c
iervice. " j
"Tn lieu of a pension list for the de endents
of those who lose their lives ,
n the service a sum of money equiva- g
ent to two years* pay is given. This ^
s much more economical for the gov- i
jrnment than a pension.
"Jt creates a naval reserve of about j
1,100 trained and highly efficient officers
and men, ready at a moment's no
ice to operate under the Navy Depart- i
nent whenever the President directs.
"Thr coastguard constitutes a naval t
eserve without any additional cost to ]
he government as such, as the saving
>f life and property at all times is
lorth much more to the people than j
ts cost of maintenance.

SENATORS KEEP UP!
FIGHT(MP BILL
Weeks Sees Possibilities of
Grave International Complications.
CENSURES PRESIDENT
FOR RECENT ADDRESS
Democratic Leaders Seek to Reach
Agreement on Proposed
Amendments.
Senate republicans continued their
fight today on the administration ship |
purchase bill. SenatoiOVeeks, denying
that lie sought to filibuster, resumed
his attack. Democratic leaders, me^nwliile,
sought to reach an agreement
on proposed amendments so their cau- ^
:us might complete revision of the bill
tonight.
"We want to get the facts before the:
country and we are taking the only!
ivav left to us to accomplish it." said*
Senator Weeks.
"I believe there are possibilities of j
rravest international complications inmired
in the passage of this bill; that e
f it passed it would be ineffective, ut- c
erly railing to carry out the wishes of d
ts sponsors; that it is economically un- 0
lound, 1 n-advised and dangerous; that
he setiment in favor of it. among
nose wno nave given it cunsiacranuii
n or out. of Congress is almost negli- f
flble, and that If passed by this or any
"ongrees it would be don? ??t because
hose who vote for it favor the legisla- s
ion, but as the result of the most li
lagrant political pressure." X]
Attacks Wilson Address. ^
f
Turning to President "Wilson's Indian- t,
ipolls speech, Mr. Weeks declared the f
>eople of the country, judging from x
ress reports, could not understand a
iow the President "could have so far
apsed from his previous poise and t
rood taste as to go to the other ebreme
by- indulging in not only qw*sionable
taste, but the unfounded b
tatements with which his whole ad- t
iress was filled." e
"Could there be a more violent
vrench to popular government," he
isked, "than to have the head of the n
lation speaking to the whole country, y
isserting that those who disagree with ^
tim arc misled, ignorat, self-assertive
md misrepresentative? No President r
n our recent history has had such sup- s
>ort on strictly administwative matters i:
rom opposition senators as the present r
ncumbent of the White House."
9
Assails Proposals. a
Senator Weeks assailed the proposal
o place cabinet officers on the pro>osed
shipping board. Examination of ?
he qualifications of secretaries of the f,
[*reasury or Navy during the last de- h
rade. lie said, showed them little ore- 1i
>ared by experience for such work.
To emphasize his argument that there Z
vas no need for the bill. Senator Weeks
>aid fifty-four millions more bushels of
vheat had been exported from the last k
larvest than were exported last year. I
"We are defying the world by ship- "
>ing more than ever before/' said he.
Burton Yields the Floor.
After speaking three days in opposiion
to the ship purchase hill. Senator
iiurton of Ohio, late yesterday afterloon,
yielded the floor, and Senator
iVeeks of Massachusetts took up the
>urden of the republican contest
igainst that measure, lie spoke for hree-quarters
of an hour, and then R
Melded to Senator .Stone of Missouri, 'or
a motion to go into executive session.
with the understanding that when
he Senate met again today Senator Sleeks
would have the floor. ' ?
Senator Burton talked for more than i
lix hours continuously yesterday, stop- I
>ing only to eat two raw eggs, when k
le was interrupted by questions by _
jenator Sutherland. It Is expected that vithin
a few days the Ohio senator will 1
igain get into action and give the I
iemoerats another example of 'long
iistance" debate. The republicans are
letermined that the ship bill shall not
>aes at the present session, and they '
lay that they believe the democrats I

failed to complete tlieir work on the I
ship bill and will meet again tonight I
to continue consideration of proposed I
intendments. The caucus last night referred
back to the commerce committee
an amendment proposed by Senato:
Hoke Smith of Georgia to provide that !
the proposed government ship corpora- [
tion should "in no Instances operate
iny vessel, except where the same can- ]
not be chartered or leased for operation
through another corporation. Arm
or individual, unless such operation is
necessary to move the commerce of
-itizens of the United States."
Senator Smith and others made a
strong plea for this amendment on the
ground that It would tend to decrease
opposition to the bill by those who are o
unalterably opposed to government p
ownership.
The democrats of the commerce comnittee
recommended that two civilian d
uembers be added to the proposed t
shipping board, which as now provided
n the bill would consist of three mem
^ers of the cabinet only. No decision
vas reached, action being deferred till- "
.11 tonight.
A recommendation of the committee p
hat the proposed government ship s
corporation be Incorporated under the
aws of the District of Columbia r
seemed to meet with favor in the cau- o
ms, but was not voted on. b

AMERICAN SAILORS I
ARRESTEDBY GERMANS
Members of Crews of Greenbrier and 1
Carolyn Later Released?Bryan
Awaits British Reply.
While the American government, today
awaited Great Britain's explana- b
tion of her seizure of the American j
steamer Greenbrier, it developed that t
I American sailors of lur crow, as well c
j as those of the steamer Carolyn, hau p
| been arrested by German authorities <j
! at Bremen. c
j In a brief dispatch, informing the t
State Department that ine sailors had
been released from detention and were \;
now free to join their ships when they
left the port, the American consul at li
Bremen gave the first information that V
the sailors had been arrested ana ^
; added no details. v
Officials here could only suppose that j,
i The men might have been arrested for ^
| misconduct ashore or possibly detained t
until the departure of their ships to suppress
any military information tliey
J might gain.
Seized on High Seas. <
The Greenbrier, whose detention is now 1
the subject of diplomatic negotiation, a
sailed from New Orleans and Norfolk ri
with cotton for Bremen under a eertifi- 1;
j cate issued by the British consul at Xor- i
i folk. Her commander complained that \
a British cruiser seized his ship on the t
; high seas, hoisted the British ensign, 1
i damaged the vessel in navigation and e
| detained liim at Kirkwall before he was s
j permitted to proceed to Bremen. s
' ?.?!* '? II ?u I a*ru rt. V '.II,,,, . . r,v/ t
to BreTpen. Apparently she got through
without interference and the arrest of her j
sailors is lier first appearance in the in- t
temational incidents arising: out of the j
transportation of <otton to Germany. She ;i
called at Falmouth, however, before proceeding:
to Bremen. ;1
British Embassy Silent. [
Secretary Bryan's request for inforination
of the circumstances surrounding: \
j the seizure of the Greenbrier has been reI
ceived at the British embassy here, which withholds
comment.
Advices are expected at the State Department
after communication between
the embassy and the London foreign
office.
The detention of the sailors at Bremen
is expected to be further explained
in later dispatches. Whether the State
Department will investigate the incident
probably depends upon the extent
of the information it receives from
the American consul.

Mr. Ambrose denied any intent to emezzle
