DANIELS Arrangements Made fo Deliver Gifts to Enlisted Men. ‘Washington, Aug. 21.—Despite the or- der of Josephus Daniels, the Secretary of the Navy, barring any representa- tive or officer of the Navy League from naval stations ar ships, the organiza- tion will continue the relief work it has been doing. Over the signature of Colonel Rob- ert M. Thompson, instructions were sent out to those who have been con- tributing to the work, notifying them that arrangements had been made for the delivery of garments to the men on the naval vessels. The statement issued by the league, including the letter of Colonel Thomp- son, follows: “To the Comforts Committee of the Navy League, the Women's sec- tian of the Navy League and the Daughters of the American Revo- lution: ‘‘Secretary Daniels, in a notice to the public, states that he has directed that no officer, agent or representa- tive of the Navy League will be ad- mitted to any naval station, naval res- ervation or ship in the navy depart- ment and that the navy department will not permit the acceptance of any- thing whatever from the Navy League. ‘“You have already furnished 150,~ 000 knitted garments for the men of our navy. Certain sections have con- tributed 30,000 garments for the men of Fhe British, French and Russian navies. “It is absolutely unimportant through what channels the garments reach the seamen, but it is important that they shall recelve them. “I therefore request and direct that for the present, and in default of other instructions by the Navy de- partment, you send the garments in- tended for the men of the United States Navy to Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, No. 1,316 Sixteenth street, ‘Washington, D. C., who, acting as an individual, will secure the delivery of the garments to the ships that you may designate. “Our allies are pressing us to sup- ply them with additional garments for their sailors. Such of your as are willing to work for the Allies will please divide your shipments into two parts, sending one part to the Comforts committee of the Navy League, Washington, D. C., for de- livery to the Allies; the other part going to Mrs. Frazer for the men of our navy. “We will continue to furnish you with knitting instructions, pictures, samples of wool, etc., and we will act for you in purchasing wool. All officers of the league will act in their personal capacities in helping- the work, “Remember that the Navy League stands for loyalty and patriotic en- deavor and do not for one moment slacken in the work that you have done for our seamen, and please ac- cept my assurance that there is no foundation for the charges made against the Navy League by Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels. ‘“Cordially yours, |Signed.) ROBERT M. THOMPSON, “President Navy League’ COPPER AND STEEL COSTS. Estimates of Federal Trade Commis- sion Go to President. ‘Washington, Aug. 21—Federal trade commission estimates on copper and steel production costs go to President ‘Wilson today for use in fixing prices for the government’s war needs. Fig- ures called for by the president on the costs of other materials will soon be complsted. Under the present arrangement all government purchases are made at tentative prices, with the final sale fig- ure to be determined after a study of production costs. The commission, it is said, recom- mends that government agency be des- ignated by the president to conduct a constant investigation into steel costs during the war and determine the ac- tual production expense of each gov- crnment order. No figures on copper costs have been given out, but it is learned that the | report indicates that large profits are being made at present market prices RUSSIA TO REJECT TERMS.

Providence, Aug. 21.—The libel suit brought against the German mer- chant submarine Deutschland be- sause of the sinking of a tug of the icott Co., in New London harbor last November has been settled out of 4+ tourt at New London, according to a itatement today by Captain Gurne, of this city. He represented the widows of Captain John Gurney of :he tug, whe with four members of bis crew was drowned in the accident. “The answer to the Pope's peace proposals has not yet been formu- lated by the Russian government, but there is a feeling in Russia that these proposals have been made with some inspiration from the Central Powers. It is considered in Russia that the very bases of the Vatican’s proposals are inconsistent with the democratic aims of the Russian people in this war, and are not acceptable from that point of view,” MUNGER-THOMPSON NUPTIALS.

We must face these facts and realize the true sign of our financial policy by an ade- quate and just system of taxation at the beginning.” By keeping down taxes and increas- ing bonds Senato- La Follette said the masses are being “mortgaged to the money lenders.” 5 Ttaly on Eve of Revolution. Loans to the Allies, he said, may and may not be repald, certainly not for many years after the war. Rus- sia, he saiq, is in the throes of a revo- lution and “Ttaly, if reports are cor- rect, is on the eve of one.” “Even England and France,” he added, “will be in no position to re- pay loans for a long time and if this war should last for several years what political transformation may occur in any country in Europe no one can foretell.” In conclusion Senator sald: “Always remember that the high prices already upon us have taxed the common people of this country for the support of this war to a much greater extent than the wealthy class would be taxed if every dollar of income of the members of that class were taken by taxation. When bread lines shall be a familiar sight in every. city of this land, as they are bound to be if the present price of the simple necessaries of life is maintained during the com- ing winter, when cold and hunger are dally visitors in many thousands of homes which have known only com- fort heretofore, a condition certain to exist during the coming winter months unless relief from present prices can be found, it will be small satisfaction, I think, 4o the members of this con- gress to realize that they have contrib- uted to the want and suffering of the mass of people by refusing to Dplace even an approximately fair portion of the financial burden of this war upon the rich.” La Follette e PLUNGES KNIFE INTO CO-WORKER’S THROAT Greek Mects Greek in Danbury Fac- tory and Murder Follows Dispute Over Wofk.
