PUTICAL INSTRUMENTS
SCARCE FOR NEW SHIPS
Prof. Ransom Urges That Manu.
facturers Get Busy to Aid
Government
Scores of new ships wilt Boon bo added
to tho Government mercantllo marine,
ready for tho many navigation oiriccrs
being turned out every week by tho thirty
rpeclal navigation schools under the
I.mergcncy Fleet Corporation, but how
aro these ships to be navigated properly
without tho necessarv nautical apparatus?
Professor William It. Itansom, of Tufts
Collego, chief Instructor of tho United
States School of Navigation, In Philadel
phia, put till query to a. representative
of tho Evenino I.juaEit In tho hopo that
public attention thu aroused would Icau
to the organization of Interests to manu
facture tho needed Instrument.
The second" c'ass in navigation Is to glvo
a farewell dinner to Professor Itansom to
night nt the Itlttenhouso Hotel. Till class
will finish Its studies this week and tho din
ner Is nlso a' gut-tnjretiicr social affair bo
tucen tho men, their Instructors and tho
navigation officials of tho poit.
Professor Itansom is to return to TufU
Collego to prcparo for tho fall opening tho
first week In October, .lia lng finished his
duties as chief Instructor.
Tho "Mado-ln-Oermany" obstacle, that
lias bo many times been ovcrcomo In this
country slnco the European wor removed
Germany as a. source of Bupply, Is ngalu
the responsible factor In this dearth of nav
igation apparatus. There Is but one concern
In tho I'nlted States, located on tho Pacllla
coast, that "ikes tuxtants, aHd thut firm ls
small nnd lms out a limited supply of
thise Indispensable Instruments, according
to Professor Itansom.
Tho sextant Is not difficult to manufac
ture, ho says, and tho demand Ls largo
every ship must havo one, nt least, "Cer
tainly Yankees nro great enough t manu
facture a sextant," Professor Ransom
added.
It was pointed out that there aro several
concerns In the Eat that nra manufactur
ing ennlnecrlng Instrument that aro much
moro delicate nnd prcclto than tho sextant,
and tho suggestion ls mado that thoso firms
could very easily turn out tho latter with
comparatively littlo change In their plants.
Professor Ransom praised tho members
of tho present class very highly, having
found them extremely Industrious, and ho
feels that they will do this city credit
as navigation officers Tho third class ls
to commence September 17.
Thcro Is bomo doubt ns to tho contlnuanco
of the school after the third class, Professor
Ransom explained, Tho original appropria
tion mado by the Emcigency Fleet Cor
poration wa3 $1600 for eight schools, ono
month apiece. There aro now thirty schools
and, of course tho exponso has been many
limes multiplied, although Fomo of tho
schools havo run only ono clas.
Tho availability of Instructors 1 ono
limiting factor and tho scarcity of tcxtants
another vital reason Tho sextants now In
uso by tho school aro borrowed from tho
Naval Academy at Annapolis nnd mav bo
called for any day. Tho Philadelphia hhopi
havo somo of th"-e Instruments In stock,
but they nro sellh.g them only to certified
ship navigators or owners who must havo
them for actual uso nt sea.
Tho dinner will Include covers for about
forty. The guests will Include Profoshor

M. PAINLEVE AGAIN
REPORTS FAILURE
French Cabinet Still Unformed,
Owing to Continued Oppo
sition by Socialists
PARIS, Sept. 12.
M. Palnlevo formally reported to Presi
dent Polncare today that he had been unablo
to form a. Cabinet. Tho President urged him
to contlnuo his efforts. He contented to try
again.
Presumably Palnleve's failure has been
due to lack of support of tho Socialists. It
was this lack of Socialist support which
caused tho downfall of tho Rlbot Ministry,
Considerable surprise was occasioned by
Palnleve's announcement today. Last night
lie had Issued a tentative Cabinet list, Indi
cating selection of two and possibly three
Socialist leaders, and tho Socialists had
provisionally announced their approval.

It's true that the cost of living ls still
going up, and that coal may soon be sold In

Today each Job holder received n sugar
coated otder to oontrlbuto to tho Republican
Central Campaign Committee, It was ex
pressed In dainty language, ot course, to
tho effect that the II. C. C. C. would llko tho
recipient to mike n "voluntary contribu
tion" to tho campaign fund. It Is signed by
Sheriff Rnnsley,
Tho Sheriff, who signed tho courteous
communication. Is nlso chairman of tho It,
C C. U., which many of tho maccd Job
holders nssert stand for Reaping Constantly
City Cush.
Many of tho cop.i who nro supposed to
hand out qulto a big proportion for their
$18-a-week jobs declaro emphatically that
they will not accept tho invitation to con
tribute. They havo wives nnd children who
must bo kept warm for tho winter. They
bellovo that It Is Just a worthy to spend
their mouoy for coal nnd food for tho fam
ily nn It Is to help provide comforts for tho
various Organization clubs where) tho of-flco-holders,
with fat Job, meet on various
occasions nnd condescend to shako hand
with tho cop and ftrcmau who helps to
maintain them In political affluence.
It Is reported that tho Policeman's Pro
tectlvo Association wilt tako a definite
stand against the shakedown oven If It ls
followed by n shnkeup of Job.
Incldontnlly, all contributors aro re
quested to send their cash to Mnglstrato
Thomas F. Watson, tho treasurer.
The per diem men In tho various depart
ments nre expected to hand out two days'
pay; olllceholdcis receiving from $1000 to
$2000 n year will bo obliged to deliver l'j
per ccift ot their nnnual salary, vvhllo tlw-o
getting under $3000 must glvo up 3 per
cent Jobholders getting $1000 will havo
to pay 4j per cent.
Mc.N'Ichol followers nro especially muti
nous nt this tlmn, for tho reason that
their contribution. will bo handled by the
Vnrc supporters In control of tho cam
paign committee. Tho McNIcholltes point
out that tho money they hand over will
bo tied by tho Vare men to defeat Mc
Nlchol follower In various waid fights.
Tho McNIchol adherents also bcllevo
thero Is no necessity for a big contribution
this year, In view of tho fnct that the ticket
has been nominated on a llfty-fltty basis
of Vare-McNlchol candidates.
Thero will bo a meelt rcsponso. It Is be
Iloved, to Mr. Ranslcy'. Invitation.
Some of tho McNIchol men, whoso proph
ecies are respected, ventured tho prediction
that tho big money haul wa made at this
tlmo at the direction ot Vara interests so
that thcro would bo nn ample surplus for
tho war chest for tho mavoralty campaign
two sears hence. They point out tho fact
that as no assessments wero mado during
tho Blankcnburg administration thero was
a legacy of debt In the campaign commit
tee, last year, which was subsequently wiped
out.
It Is contended therefore that there Is
not a single reason for the big shake-down.

Committee, in Adverse Report,
Undertakes to Squelch Con
stitutional Objections
TALK niNDERS WILSON
WASHINGTON, Sept 12.
Tho Sctiato Military Affairs Committed
today undertook to ellcnce oncea nd tor all
tho constitutional objections tnada to tho
draft and tho arguments put forth In nnd
out of Congress for Its modification or re
peal. Reporting adversely on Senator Hard
wick's bill to provent tha uso of drafted
men In overseas nervlce, Senator Cham
berlain, of Oregon, on bohalf of tho Military
Affair Committee, declared not only thnt
tho ecloctlva draft ls constitutional nnd In
harmony with tho frca Idents of America,
but that tho agitation against It, stimu
lated by pro-German sympathizing "Is
paralyzing tho good right arm of tho Presi
dent." Tito committee blamed Fourth of July
orator- and nchool history for popular
delusions regarding American military suc
cesses and expressed the view that these
two causes wero largely responsible for
the projudlco again tho draft. Tho com
mittee quoted nt length various authorltle.
from Washington down to Prcsldont Wilson,
to contradict the arguments against con
cerlption. Tho wholo report will bo pilnU-d
as a document nnd scattered bfonilcnst
acro3 iho nation to answer tho antl-diaft
fcUUlment.
"The situation arising out of thl3 frplrlt
of opposition to tho selective draft net Is
rotloiw and, taken In connection with tho
unrest among the civilian population grow
ing out of commercial nnd Industrial con
ditions, i-tlmulatcdli soma cases doubtless
by pro-German sympathizers nnd propagan
dists, plucos our country In a situation of
extremo peril at n tlmo when nil should bo
united In n, common cause," said the com
mittee. "Both reason and Justlco demand tho
draft, for vvhv should tho patriotic flower
nnd chivalry of the country bo permitted to
otter themselves n .1 sacrifice, us wa tho
"Ik

casertn brMtBrtilib'fcl th'f
who has as much at stake In, his countri
salvation, Is permitted to remain behind tV
nccumulata wealth, live In ease and prraV
ngate his cowardly species?
. "If tho Insistence of tha author of the vi
measure unuer consideration were well t
founded, a man could avoid service In the v
nrmy ot the United States no matter how A
great tho emergency by irlmply volunteer- ".?'
lng In tho National niianiV Ami tt, .,.. ..
try In time of emergency .would be com- 'eV.'l
pelled to hire mercenaries, Vosslbly alien, v-l.-'
nnd certalnlv men 'hivin i.a t- f
common with tha people of the country.'
Can there bo conceived a situation that
might provo so disastrous to our country
in mo i'ciiuiiik crisis or in any luture emer
gency that might confront It?
"It Is tho view of tho committee that the
selectlvo draft net ls neither contrary to
American tradition nor to the Constitution,
and, entcrtnlnlng this view, the committee
feels Justified In saying that there Is no
necessity for such legislation as that pro
posed, cither on tho ground of expediency
or necessity. If such legislation were en
acted, lu what condition would bo the army
that has now been provided for, in part at
least, by tho selectlvo draft net? Must all
that has been attempted be undone? Mutt
tho men who havo gone to tha front bo called
upon to express n wish as to whether they
will remain In foreign service or return to
their homes?
"Must thcNutlon.il Guard that has been
called Into the service be discharged from
tho urmy? Must America abandon the
cause upon which Bho has entered with aest
and with a determination to bring this ter
rible war to a speedy nnd successful con
clusion and stand In tho eyes of tho world
as unworthy tho trust nnd confidence of
thoso with whom she Is now associated?
