Several men lost with the A-7 were | new to submarine work. Two of these} were on their first trip under water. Some relatives of the crew of the A-7 have been on the scene ever! since the first alarm, refusing to leave night or day. Tirelessly they have/ gone over Whitesand bay in small craft, looking vainly for some sign that would make known the where- abouts of the victims. Many relatives of the lost men came here from various parts of Eng- land and some of them vowed they would not leave until they knew what had happened to the men. But the naval officers could only shake their heads. They feared that the disappearance of the A-7 would be one of the unsolved mysteries of the sea.

AVOID TRUST SUIT PRESIDENT’S PLAN Wilson Favors “Processes of Accommodation.” - Washington, Jan. 20—The adminis- tration intends chiefly through its trust program to “facilitate the pro- cesses of accommodation” as con- trasted with “the processes of suit.” President Wilson told callers that the recent agreements between the department of justice and business concerns were not settlements which abated the law in the least degree. They are merely understandings as to the method and time within which corporations were to conform to the law, while being allowed reasonable periods for adjustment, Mr. Wilson said. In that sense the word “accommo- dation” is used, meaning accommodat- ing the processes to the interests of business though not abating the law. In that connection the president be- lieves better machinery for conduct- ing processes of’accommodation to the law ought to be set up. Second Schmidt Trial On.

WIS r | OSCAR H. WILL & CO. BISMARCK, N. D. BUSINESS GOOD, MR WILSON SAYS President Has Reports om fieneral Conditions. WILL NOT EXPRESS VIEWS Executive Holds Distinct Opinions on. the Question of Increased Freight Rates, but t'as Nothing to Say While Subject Is Being Considered by Commerce Commission. Washington, Jan. 20.—President Wilson has been receiving opinions and estimates on the business situa- tion throughout the country, which } lead him to believe that a general confidence in the future exists. The president told callers that while he had no scientific analysis of the situation, and that his letters were of various colors, in the main conditions were optimistic. The president is said to believe that in some industries, especially those dependent on the railroads, condi- tions have not been so satisfactory, but he made it clear incidentally that. he had not expressed any opinion, as: has been reported, on the propriety of increasing freight rates. The president let it be known, how- ever, that while he held distinct views. on the question he did not feel that. he could express them while the sub- ject was being determined by a semi- judicial body. With reference to the tariff the president’s letters lead him to believe that business actually has been stimu- lated by it and that the average smalb merchant is in better condition now than formerly. CALLS MILITIA TOP HEAVY General Mills Citizen Soldiery. Washington, Jan. 20.—Conditions in the organized militia of the country are, on the whole, far from satisfac- tory in organization, strength and training, according to Brigadier Gen- eral A. L. Mills, chief of the division | of militia affairs of the war depart- ment, in his annual report. | In his opinion the militia organiza~ tion is top heavy, incomplete and un- balanced; its strength is much below the important items necessary for field service and in training is on the average far below the standard re- quired for efficiency in time of need. General Mills declares, however, that despite a decrease in numerical strength in the militia the past year was one of considerable progress an@ improvement.
