In the advertisement Mr. Wagner said that for the greater part of two year malign influences had worked hard to discredit his company. One of its steamships had been detained by the French government, and -three were held by the British government. Recently the crew of one of the ships caused trouble to the captain and he discharged the men. In return, it ‘was alleged, the crew spread a report through the West Indies that the ship had been carrying supplies for Ger- man U-boats. The British government blacklisted the seven remaining ships of the Transatlantic comp: llr Wunct says that the only tries left open for them to trade with ! 1 3be thoes of Souts Ameitca. 3ii. wu- nu’l troubles began in w"hlnncm i nearly two years ago when E. T. |(.lllllb.l'hl.ll. United States Commi; sioner of Navigation, declined to gha Amman registry to vessels owned by | coun- Wlun asked yesterday why he had ' inserted the advertisement, Mr. Wag- | ner replied that it was his on ~‘ chance to get his side of the case clearly before the people, and all he | asked was fair play- | “I have nothing to say: the adver- tisethent speaks for itself,” ho said. | At the Britiah consulate it was stat- ed that the reason why seven of the American transatlantic steamships had been kept on the official black- list was that the government believed that Hugo Stines; called the West- phalian coal king, was still the bene- ficlary owner of the vessels. It was pointed out that it the British admi- ralty made good its claim to the Kan- kakes, Hocking and Genesee on the ground of German ownership, it would mean that the United States could seige the seven steamships of 6,000 Lo 1,000 gross tonnage which are trad- ing between New York and Afres. Mr. Wagner asks $10, for his fleet of eleven ships. He says they are all owned by American cap- ital in this country. CARSON REPLIES TO NAVY GRITICS Asks Them to Be Qhnstructive in Their Criticism / London, May 12.—After the sitting of the house.of commons yesterday this ofiicial account of the session was given out: “At today’s secret session the house of commons. proceeded to consider the Teport on the vote of credit for £500,- 000,000 which had been agreed to in committee Thursday night. “A. F, Whyte called attention to naval affairs in the Mediterranean and asked for better organization, and for consideration of the high com. mands on that sea. Commander Bel- lairs pressed for a more vigorous naval offensive, younger personnel in naval commands, greater rapidty in approval of promotions, and a quicker response to important applications to the admiralty. “Sir Henry Dalziel demanded that, in_addition to the king’s recent proc- lamation, a further appeal should be made to the country to; economise food, .and asked a number of quen- tions ranging over many topics con- nected with the past, present, and fu- ture of the war. . “Sir Edward Carson (First Lord of the Admiralty) aaid he welcomed in- struetive criticism, but ted at- tacks,"sometimes made for interested motives, upon officers of the navy out- side of the house. He related some recent feats of gallantry and recourse on the part of our patrols which had accounted for German submarines. He expressed a wish that he ecould publish even one of them and . ex- plained why in the highest interests of the war it was desirable to refrain. “He: described the vast area ~over ‘which the operations of the navy were daily and hourly carried on and asked that trifiling incidents should be criti- cised with a true sense of their per- spective: He gave information about the activity and ability in organtsa- tion of the anti-submarine warfare, the co-operation of the naval air service with coast patrols and atten- tion being gven to mercantile ship- bullding. ‘“The tonnage losses of the allies and neutrals for each of the last three months were given to the house. Sir Edward declined to alter the form n which the weekly losses are made publc which, he said, had been agreed upon among the allies. In conclusion he dwelt upon the great advantage to be derived from the adhesion of the United States to the allied cause. “Winston Spencer ' Churchill re- ferred with satisfaction to the chief features of the debate, and, although he said he was not wholly convinced by the prime minister’'s speech, he thought that the demand for a secret sitting had been well justified. “Premier Lloyd George gave somc figures on the food reserves in the' country and again, while expressing a favorable view of the general .sit- | uation, urged the great importance of | the most extensive cultivation of the land. “The report on the wmmnuea resolution was agreed to unanimously and the house adjourned.” ‘ City Items , Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sampson have returned from Atlantic City, N. J. Miss Margaret Eddy is visiting in Salem;, Mass, Leading Star lodge, S. of B, will celebrate its fourteenth anniversary with a supper and entertainment in Electric hall next Tuesday evening.
