FIVE UNERS SEIZED; Is, s AWAITFOURMOREH U. S. Officers Take Over Ships Chartered to United le da States Mair Company. di er By tlie A.aociated Pre... of NEW YORJi, July 23..Agents of ja the United State* Shipping Board ^ waited today for the arrival of four St big steamers chartered to the United fl< States Mail Steamship Company, in order that they might add them to 8j five seized last night. se The steamers seised last night were tl] among the finest in the United States merchant marine, and all were for- 88 mer Herman liners. They are the 1,1 George Washington, which President pt Wilson used on his trip to the Ver- "J sailles peace conference; the Amer- 81 ica. Susquehanna. President Grant and a ' Agamemnon. Their' aggregate value pf is said to be $25,000,000. The seizures resulted, according to 81 .* . 1 e tho timer scmesinger, euuuan tui Shipping: Board, from failure of the United States Mall Steamship Com-|}'1 pany to pay rentals aggregating about MOO,000, and because of cer- {V tain other "alleged laxity by the company in carrying out its contract f with the Shipping Board. ' Will Man One Ship. s' Custodians were placed on board to all the seized steamers, and in the n< case of the (jeorge Washington, which R< is booked to sail for Europe on July m 30, with a large passenger list, the le Shipping Board proposes to operate 01 ' her itself, unless another company can be found In the meantime to operate _ her, Mr. Schleslnger said. £ Mr. Schlesinger said an investlga tion showed an unwillingness on the r ; part of the previous Shipping Board v to enforce obligations due them, and that approximately five million dollars had been spent by that board in x . reconditioning the vessels after they had been chartered by the steamship " company. This money, he said, need not have been spent by the government, as the ships were chartered on a "bare boat" basis. Bj » lien Irs I.lne la Responsible. It was emphasized by Mr. Schleslnger that the tympany was not re- "J sponsible for this outlay of money, p' declaring it to be a voluntary act ry of the retired board. The seizure of the vessels leaves the United States "J Mail Steamship Company without a Shipping Board vessel under its flag. j*J E. A. Quarles. assistant to the president of the United States Mail Steamship Company, issued a statement de- *r clartng that the Shipping Board's action was without warning and abso- 1,1 lutely inexplicable. > re "It was reported some Weeks since." the statement said, "that certain J'1 forces, foreign in nature, were deter- je mined to take the fine fleet of pas. aenger ships being operated by our company from us and that they would leave no stone unturned to accomplish cs this end. It was further reported n< that these interests were moving heaven and earth to get the newly appointed Shipping Board to take some J" sort of action detrimental to this J J American gompany. Rumors Not Considered. p| "So confidents however, was the a> management of the company in its hi own integrity and so little did it | I believe any government official could it be Influenced by statements being: to made against It. that rumors brought is to the management were not con- w sidered as having sufficient basis to cp merit action. « pt "The action taken today would th seem to indicate that foreign interests and rumor mongers have been more successful than probably even S k they hoped. It can be said on behalf of the management that this action will be fought to the last, and - that the real forces back of this movement will in the end be made perfectly clear." MR.

Julv 29. fi f L ...... - MS FOR DETAILS OF ME PACT touse Committee Stirred by Report of Flooding of Hawaii. Informed that Hawaii was being iooded with Japanese, the House lmnigration committee asked the State Department yesterday to furnish deails of the "gentlemen's agreement" if 1908, with respect to Japanese conrol of immigration to the Unltpif Itates. Dlplmoatic correspondence eading to the understanding, which he committee is told, does not apply o Hawaii, never has been made pubic and the committee decided to investigate. Despite contentions of some mem>ers that discussion of the matter at his time might impede plans for Inernationol conference on disarmament ind Pacific questions, the committee leclded to go Into the thirteen-year ild Immigration arrangement, after t had heard J. V. A. MoMurray, chief >f the division of far eastern affairs if the State Department, and had revived a telegram from V. 8. Mc "latchy, Sacremento, Calif., publisher, leallng with the general subject of lapanese immigration. The committee has under oonslderalon a resolution which would authorze the President to lift the lmraigraion ban in Hawaii to meet seasonal equirements for labor by Importing Chinese and thus to aid the Insular erritory to get over the rough iconomlo spota The resolution was mmediately subordinated to the iroader question. V. 9. Diplomatically Bound. Mr. McMurray told the committee that rapan had never regarded the agreement as applying to Hawaii, and idded incidentally that inasmuch as t was a voluntary proposition from rapan, this country was diplomatlc&ly bound until Jhe other party to the inderstanding should withdraw. His statement concerning Hawaii irought from Chairman Johnson the ixclamation that the time had arrived for a declaration that "Hawaii s a part of the United States with espect to Japan and all others." Every angle of the exclusion queslon was touched on In some form or ither. and members of the committee reely expressed dissatisfaction with oopholes which they said apparently cere left In the agreemeent. They leneunced the practice of permitting 'picture brides" to enter this coun:ry. which Chairman Johnson said continued despite the diplomatic unlerstanding. Home Questions Taanswered. Because of the delicacy of the SUbect, Mr. McMurray answered most luestlons guardedly and some were lot answered at all. It was said that, f the correspondence is forthcoming, t would be gone into behind closed loors. Mr. Johnson was not at all :ertaln the diplomatic exchanges could bs supplied by the department, ind he planned to confer on that ihase with Secretary Hughes and ither department heads. He said, lowever. that he saw no reason why he documents should not be made vailable to Congress, and deplored the act that half a dosen or more such inderstandlngs as that entered into vith Japan had not required ratlflcaion by the Senate. Mr. McClatchy's telegram, which cas read prior to Mr. McMurray's itatement, warned of impending acial. political and economic control ly the Japanese in the islands unless he American government acted imnediately. He neither supported nor pposed the resolution which the com- ulttee had under consideration, but leclared that If such were not the leg- station deemed proper by Congress. t should seek some other measures at >nce.

"The name of the town of Ismld, where the recent retreat of Greek forces made possible an attack on Constantinople by the Turkish nationalists and raised the first grave threat of drawing other European powers Into the fray, would have appeared many times In heavy black headlines if the modern newspaper had " existed throughout historic times." says a bulletin Issued by the N'atlonal Geographic Society from its Washington headquarters. "Ismld's once important harbor is now silted and its population is barely 20,000. But before Constantinople was enlarged by Constantlne the Great. Ismld.then Nlcomedia.was for a time the capital of the Roman empire and the metropolis of the near east. Once Great Caravan Port. "Situated at the head of the Gulf of Ismid. which forms the sharp Asiatic end of the Sea of Marmora, and with high ground behind it, the town lay in the route of the natural highway from Syria, Persia. Mesopotamia and the entire near east to the Bosporus and Europe. "In the old days camel caravans Innumerable, carrying the riches of the east, plodded around the end of the gulf, paused to pay commercial tribute to the strategically situated city and continued west along the low coast of the gulf for the flrty miles that separated Nicomedia from Bylantium and now separate Ismid from Constantinople. And when the steel highway and Iron horse that were to connect Berlin and Bagdad came to replace the more picturesque Jul looa ClllllClll LBII17I ttliu 111* nUMJ road, the same natural path was utilized and Ismid became a railway station. "Darius and his hosts swarmed through the site of the present Ismid >00 years before Christ, to bridge the Bosporus and conquer Thrace and Macedonia. Xenophon and his 10.000 Sreeks passed through the place In their memorable retreat from Persia to their homes. Nearvthere the defeated Hannibal, a refugee from the Romans, committed suicide; and In a /ilia close by Constantine the Great lied. Force after force of crusaders tield the town during the middle ages. Seat of Constantine. "From Nicomedia Diocletian directId his implacable campaign of perse:utlon against the Christians, and later the first Christian emperor. Conitantine, governed from its palaces. Barely twenty miles to the south of Vlcea the church council sat which framed the Nlcene creed, and only a short distance to the west on the tsmid peninsula in 451 A. D. was held the ecclesiastical assembly from srhlch the Armenians bolted to form the separate Armenian Church, which, srlth the Roman Catholic, the Greek _ainonc ana tne r-rotestant cnurches, lelps make up the four major dtvlitons of Christianity. "History Is closely repeating- Itself it Ismld. Just as the Turkish nationillsts drove the modern Greeks from the town In recent weeks, so In 781 the Moslems, pushing far into the Asiatic territory of the Byzantine 3reeks, defeated their armies at Niconedla and camped on the east bank of the Bosporus. The Bmpress Irene ransomed the city and the other ocsupied territory. But the Mohammelans slowly encroached, and In 1338 Vicomedia fell permanently Into the lands of the Turks. It remained a threat to Constantinople until 1453 arhen the threat was made good, and Constantinople became Stamboul and he church of Sancta Sophia a Mohammedan mosque. "The Ismid of today has little to remind the observer of Its glorious history. An old Greek "acropolis tanked by Roman add Bysantlne towers is about the only remaining link with its opulent past. The iron and wood caravans of the Bagdad railway do not need to pause in" Ismld as did the camel trains, and its toll from commerce has dwindled away. To It the world no longer looks either for creeds or the treasures of Araby.only ror a modest supply of silk cocoons, tobacco and forest products." 9,000 CARPENTERS YIELD. lien on Strike in Philadelphia Accept Contractors' Terms.

er

By tlie A.aociated Pre... ofNEW YORJi, July 23..Agents of ja

the United State* Shipping Board ^waited today for the arrival of four St

big steamers chartered to the United fl<States Mail Steamship Company, inorder that they might add them to 8jfive seized last night. se

The steamers seised last night were tl]among the finest in the United Statesmerchant marine, and all were for- 88

mer Herman liners. They are the 1,1

George Washington, which President ptWilson used on his trip to the Ver- "Jsailles peace conference; the Amer- 81

ica. Susquehanna. President Grant and a

' Agamemnon. Their' aggregate value pf

is said to be $25,000,000.The seizures resulted, according to 81

.* . 1 e thotimer scmesinger, euuuan tui

Shipping: Board, from failure of theUnited States Mall Steamship Com-|}'1pany to pay rentals aggregatingabout MOO,000, and because of cer- {Vtain other "alleged laxity by thecompany in carrying out its contract fwith the Shipping Board. '

Will Man One Ship. s'Custodians were placed on board to

all the seized steamers, and in the n<

case of the (jeorge Washington, which R<is booked to sail for Europe on July m

30, with a large passenger list, the leShipping Board proposes to operate 01

' her itself, unless another company canbe found In the meantime to operate _

her, Mr. Schleslnger said. £Mr. Schlesinger said an investlga

tion showed an unwillingness on the r

; part of the previous Shipping Board v

to enforce obligations due them, andthat approximately five million dollarshad been spent by that board in x

. reconditioning the vessels after theyhad been chartered by the steamship

" company. This money, he said, neednot have been spent by the government,as the ships were chartered on

a "bare boat" basis. Bj» lienIrs I.lne la Responsible.

It was emphasized by Mr. Schleslngerthat the tympany was not re- "Jsponsible for this outlay of money, p'declaring it to be a voluntary act ryof the retired board. The seizure ofthe vessels leaves the United States "JMail Steamship Company without a

Shipping Board vessel under its flag. j*JE. A. Quarles. assistant to the presidentof the United States Mail SteamshipCompany, issued a statement de- *r

clartng that the Shipping Board's actionwas without warning and abso- 1,1

lutely inexplicable. >re

"It was reported some Weeks since."the statement said, "that certain J'1forces, foreign in nature, were deter- jemined to take the fine fleet of pas.aenger ships being operated by our

company from us and that they wouldleave no stone unturned to accomplish cs

this end. It was further reported n<

that these interests were movingheaven and earth to get the newly appointedShipping Board to take some J"sort of action detrimental to this JJAmerican gompany.

Rumors Not Considered. p|"So confidents however, was the a>

management of the company in its hiown integrity and so little did it | I

believe any government official could itbe Influenced by statements being: tomade against It. that rumors brought isto the management were not con- w

sidered as having sufficient basis to cpmerit action. «pt"The action taken today would th

seem to indicate that foreign interestsand rumor mongers have beenmore successful than probably even S

k they hoped. It can be said on behalfof the management that thisaction will be fought to the last, and

- that the real forces back of thismovement will in the end be madeperfectly clear."

of Hawaii.Informed that Hawaii was being

iooded with Japanese, the House lmnigrationcommittee asked the StateDepartment yesterday to furnish deailsof the "gentlemen's agreement"if 1908, with respect to Japanese conrolof immigration to the UnltpifItates. Dlplmoatic correspondenceeading to the understanding, whichhe committee is told, does not applyo Hawaii, never has been made pubicand the committee decided to investigate.Despite contentions of some mem>ersthat discussion of the matter athis time might impede plans for Inernationolconference on disarmamentind Pacific questions, the committeeleclded to go Into the thirteen-yearild Immigration arrangement, aftert had heard J. V. A. MoMurray, chief>f the division of far eastern affairsif the State Department, and had reviveda telegram from V. 8. Mc

"latchy,Sacremento, Calif., publisher,leallng with the general subject oflapanese immigration.The committee has under oonslderalona resolution which would authorzethe President to lift the lmraigraionban in Hawaii to meet seasonalequirements for labor by ImportingChinese and thus to aid the Insularerritory to get over the roughiconomlo spota The resolution wasmmediately subordinated to theiroader question.

V. 9. Diplomatically Bound.Mr. McMurray told the committee that

rapan had never regarded the agreementas applying to Hawaii, andidded incidentally that inasmuch ast was a voluntary proposition fromrapan, this country was diplomatlc&lybound until Jhe other party to theinderstanding should withdraw.His statement concerning Hawaiiirought from Chairman Johnson theixclamation that the time had arrivedfor a declaration that "Hawaiis a part of the United States withespect to Japan and all others."Every angle of the exclusion queslonwas touched on In some form or

ither. and members of the committeereely expressed dissatisfaction withoopholes which they said apparentlycere left In the agreemeent. Theyleneunced the practice of permitting'picture brides" to enter this coun:ry.which Chairman Johnson saidcontinued despite the diplomatic unlerstanding.

Home Questions Taanswered.Because of the delicacy of the SUbect,Mr. McMurray answered most

luestlons guardedly and some werelot answered at all. It was said that,f the correspondence is forthcoming,t would be gone into behind closedloors. Mr. Johnson was not at all:ertaln the diplomatic exchangescould bs supplied by the department,ind he planned to confer on thatihase with Secretary Hughes andither department heads. He said,lowever. that he saw no reason whyhe documents should not be madevailable to Congress, and deplored theact that half a dosen or more suchinderstandlngs as that entered intovith Japan had not required ratlflcaionby the Senate.Mr. McClatchy's telegram, which

ISMID A LANDMARKINBHPATH

Situation Today as CentralPoint in Near East FightRecalls Ancient Glory.

"The name of the town of Ismld,where the recent retreat of Greekforces made possible an attack on

Constantinople by the Turkish nationalistsand raised the first gravethreat of drawing other Europeanpowers Into the fray, would have appearedmany times In heavy blackheadlines if the modern newspaperhad " existed throughout historictimes." says a bulletin Issued by theN'atlonal Geographic Society from itsWashington headquarters."Ismld's once important harbor is

now silted and its population is barely20,000. But before Constantinoplewas enlarged by Constantlne theGreat. Ismld.then Nlcomedia.wasfor a time the capital of the Romanempire and the metropolis of the neareast.

Once Great Caravan Port."Situated at the head of the Gulf of

Ismid. which forms the sharp Asiaticend of the Sea of Marmora, and withhigh ground behind it, the town layin the route of the natural highwayfrom Syria, Persia. Mesopotamia andthe entire near east to the Bosporusand Europe.

"In the old days camel caravansInnumerable, carrying the riches ofthe east, plodded around the end ofthe gulf, paused to pay commercialtribute to the strategically situatedcity and continued west along the lowcoast of the gulf for the flrty milesthat separated Nicomedia from Bylantiumand now separate Ismidfrom Constantinople. And when thesteel highway and Iron horse thatwere to connect Berlin and Bagdadcame to replace the more picturesqueJul looa ClllllClll LBII17I ttliu 111* nUMJroad, the same natural path was utilizedand Ismid became a railway station."Darius and his hosts swarmed

through the site of the present Ismid>00 years before Christ, to bridge theBosporus and conquer Thrace andMacedonia. Xenophon and his 10.000Sreeks passed through the place Intheir memorable retreat from Persiato their homes. Nearvthere the defeatedHannibal, a refugee from theRomans, committed suicide; and In a/ilia close by Constantine the Greatlied. Force after force of crusaderstield the town during the middle ages.

Seat of Constantine."From Nicomedia Diocletian directIdhis implacable campaign of perse:utlonagainst the Christians, and

later the first Christian emperor. Conitantine,governed from its palaces.Barely twenty miles to the south ofVlcea the church council sat whichframed the Nlcene creed, and only ashort distance to the west on thetsmid peninsula in 451 A. D. was heldthe ecclesiastical assembly fromsrhlch the Armenians bolted to formthe separate Armenian Church, which,srlth the Roman Catholic, the Greek_ainonc ana tne r-rotestant cnurches,lelps make up the four major dtvlitonsof Christianity."History Is closely repeating- Itself

it Ismld. Just as the Turkish nationillstsdrove the modern Greeks fromthe town In recent weeks, so In 781the Moslems, pushing far into theAsiatic territory of the Byzantine3reeks, defeated their armies at Niconedlaand camped on the east bank ofthe Bosporus. The Bmpress Ireneransomed the city and the other ocsupiedterritory. But the Mohammelansslowly encroached, and In 1338Vicomedia fell permanently Into thelands of the Turks. It remained athreat to Constantinople until 1453arhen the threat was made good, andConstantinople became Stamboul andhe church of Sancta Sophia a Mohammedanmosque."The Ismid of today has little to

remind the observer of Its glorioushistory. An old Greek "acropolistanked by Roman add Bysantlne towersis about the only remaining linkwith its opulent past. The iron andwood caravans of the Bagdad railwaydo not need to pause in" Ismld as didthe camel trains, and its toll fromcommerce has dwindled away. To Itthe world no longer looks either forcreeds or the treasures of Araby.onlyror a modest supply of silk cocoons,tobacco and forest products."

an employe of Krupp, who wag on<

of a party of women with whomvisited Potsdam. Most of the womeihad brought along th« familiar littlipaper bundles containing browibread sandwlahes, but this old lad;had brought none. She said that hehusband had said she could buy some

It is the before-the-war psychology tiof the mark that is making things p

1system that prevails in many Ger- pr man cities, used to be 10 pfennig and a

is now a mark. sJust as an Instance of the petty t

sums in which the German has been a

1 accustomed to thinking may be cited I. the fact that a Hamburg paper made c

the announcement a few days ago t) that no Income tax need be paid onB the amount given by the worker in, riding to and from work every day. jt and gave the zone price list which Ji obtains in that city. I have walked 1

1 myself almost to exhaustion on Ger- '

b tances. And their idea of a short '

s distance is not ours.5 And so it is with a mind trained toe pfennig values, accustomed to at pfennig that, though only the hun- ,e dredth part of a mark, which In its j

turn, was less than a fourth of the tAmerican dollar, still had a definite a> and respectable purchasing power. at that the German is trying to adjust ct himself to a world of new values. rf He earns more than he used to.from ai Ave to ten times as much.but the af things he must buy have Increasedf ten Jo twenty times in pricaJ Against American Instincts.

petty economies, break the bonds oft that virtuous pettiness and have Is something they want. He goes to at restaurant or a cafe, and. like the old 1
