WASHINGTON, Nov. J. The 6tat De. yartment continued today gathering the facte In the Marina case and withholding1 what It learned from all Inquirers save president Wilson. The President waa kept In constant touch with every development, at his own re- Siest. He will be the first ndvlned when erlln'a response comes to the Depart Bent's request for Information the Oerman Admiralty may have concerning the dis aster that cost six American lives. From the American Embassy at London and the Consulate at Queenstown, the Hints Department sought data not only on the question of whether the Marina received warning before she was torpedoed, but as to the armament she carried and her rela tion to the British Admiralty. It to believed the Marina wan riot In Any ense In Admiralty service, as such service. has been construed by this Government, he was not manned by a naval crew. As fcr armament, the 4.7-Inch gun reported to have been carried would come within the BmlUtlons of defensive armament, which this Government has held does not utter vessel's character aa a peaceful merchant san. BERLIN. Nov, J, There Is virtually com plete absence of fears In official circles that the sinking of the British freight ship Marina will endanger relations between Ger anany and the United HUtes. There has been no report from any com mander of a U-boat which may have sunk the Marina and It la regarded here as en tirely possible that the vessel may have truck a mine, sji was the case of the Alaunla. It Is unlikely that any German submarine operating In the vicinity of the spot where the Marina went down would be heard from ofore the middle of latter part of next week. The submarines are In constant touch with their bases, but make no report n ships sunk until they get bock to .their Dome base. The United Btates Kmbassy haa been assured that It will be supplied with the facts as quickly as they oan be obtained.

The Moseley draft for a military and maval training bill will be thoroughly ex amined, and It Is likely that the confer once will adopt resolutions indorsing the rhaln features of that draft. Such action would mean that Congress will be asked to tako the Moseley bill as a basis for legis lation to Install a system of military train ing In the United States along the lines of the Swiss and Australian systems.

INDUSTRIES IN JERSEY FEAR LOW TARIFF LAW Frclinghuysen, Senatorial Can didate, Gota Advance Infor mation Regarding Man ufacturers' Attitudes NEWARK, Nov. 2 Joseph H. Frellng- huysen, Republican nominee for United States Senator, has adopted a practical method of obtaining concrete facts nbout the effect of tho Underwood tariff law upon Industry In all lines. It Is unique In that ha Is not waiting until after election to get Information which he desires for his guid ance, If he Is elected Senator, ni ho expects to he lie haa addressed n series of questions to the heads of 5000 Industrial plants In New Jersey. Iho letters were sent out only a few days ngo Thus far replies have been received from 1K0 of the persons nddresscd. Of this number 120 say that under the present tariff schedules their concerns couldn't exist nftcr the war Is oer. Twenty report that they are not Interested In the tariff because It doesn't affect them. Of the ten who aro satisfied with tho present Fchcdulcs, flo Import their raw products from abroad. Condemnation of tho Democratic handling of tho tariff situation Is freely expressed In many of the letters. There Is n strong de mand for a tariff law which will guarantee continued extension of business nnd tho pay ment of good wages to employes In alt branches of Industry. . Tho questions nBkcd by Mr. Frellnghuysen aro as follows: First. Is there at present any tnrlff duty on the product manufactured by you 7 Second. If bo, does the rate furnish satisfactory conditions for the opera tion and extension of your business and tho pament ot good wages to your em ployes? Third. If not, do you think nny rate Is needed for these purposes? Fourth. Do jou feci that tho present tariff law will require substantial re vision in order to render it certain that your business can continue to operate and pay satisfactory wages to your em. ployes at the conclusion of the 'Euro pean war? " "There Is no question nbout It but that a substantial revision of the present tariff Is necessary to Insure tho operation of our plant with a fair living and so as to pay our employes a satisfactory wage after the war Is over," writes a Camden manu facturer of embroideries.

Any American who fights for England In the present war expatriates tilmnelf. Ths State Department made this clear today In connection with Its action In refusing a passport to Theo dore Marburg, Jr., of Dattlmore, who Is re. turning to nngland to rejoin the lloyat AUatlon Corps. Marburg Is a son ot a former United States Minister to Uelglum. Expatriation results from the fact that oil British soldiers must tako the oath of allegiance to the Ilrltlsh Crown which, In the caso of Americans so doing, wipes out their allegiance to this country. As for Americans fighting with the for eign legion of the French army the depart ment made known that ths burden will rest upon them to proe tho oath they have tuken has not expatriated them. The oath In the caso of the French army Is more clastic than that of tho Ilrltlsh. Ken after peaco Is dectnrcd. It ns said by the department, men who have served In tho armies abroad will not be granted passports to travel abroad as American citi zens. Those who return to this country In destitute circumstances will he treated as ordinary alien Immigrants, subject to de portation If without relatives In thli coun try to support them or without means of livelihood.
