Governor Norris Calls on Mem

PEOPLE MUST DO PART
Member banks of the Third Federal
Hcservo district have been requested to
reduce their loans nt the Federal Re
servo Bonk of Philadelphia.
A lotter cnlllng ..i tho loans has been
sent to all member banks by George W.
Norris, governor of tho Federal Reserve
l?ank. It follows a severe shortago on
the money market.
Loans secured by government wnr
obligations are singled out in a special
request for reduction. The amount of
such paper on hand at the headquarters

Igreat that', should an emergency bo
mado for quick discounts, the "mother

A straight ftvo-ccnt fare is to be
continued by tho Philadelphia Rapid

a shorter ride, according to a rumor
in City Hall. This policy, tho rumor
stated, may bo adopted as a result of
suggestions followiug investigations

tee and conditions brought to light
through tho hearing of complaints be
fore tho public scrvico commission.
A Howard Jones, engineer in charge
of the traffic survey, definitely recom
mended to the Public 8ervicc Commis
sion nt n hearing today that Routes 10
and 21 be sent westward over Filbert
street In rush hours, in spite of the
opposition of Eli Kirk Price of tho Tart
Commission.
Mr. Jones recommended nlso that
during rush hours Route 42, which now
runs west on Walnut street from Front,
turn Into Eighth street on tbo east
bound trip from Chestnut, nnd proceed
westward over Hansom street to Twenty-second.
A third important recommendntion
was that n passenger bridga be built
from City Hall .plaza to Broad Street
Station, to relievo the congestion there
at, what he said, was tho most used
crossing in tho city.
In his discussion of tho Filbert street
project, Mr. Jones revealed thnt tho
Pennsylvania Railroud plans within
something moro than three years to
vacnto Filbert street west of Broad
and widen tho terminal and office build
ing, Biibitlttitlng Cuthbert street, which
is tobe widened, for Filbert street.
"Tho Pennsylvania Railroad will not
proceed with this project," said Sir.
Jones, "for nt least three years." He
urged that the Filbert street plan of
rerouting 10 nnd 21 cars bo adopted,
offering afgumcntH to combat thoso
against the proposal advanced by Mr.

Among tho organization men, many

Kuehnle. after his political overthrow
eight years ago and the combination
of circumstances which sent him to
stnto prison ns a "goat" in a pfiiti.--.in
clean-up, is looked upon as a "vindica
tion." Kuehnle himself records his victory in
tlwt light.
"I told them that I was going -to
come back, and I have," he said. ".Tho
fact that I won witl some of tho best
men of Atlantic City against me shows
thnt tho poople have faith in mc. I re
gard my election as a complete vindica
tion." Asked if he contemplated any polit
ical affiliations in the near futuie,
Kuehnle replied :
"My affiliations will bo with tho peo
ple. In tho fight just closed I was the
people's candidate, and T, nfn therefore
pro-people in ray political belief. Mero
words cannot express how grateful I am
to those 'who stood by inc. Furhermore,

"Was '(ho, fight you were compelled
to make very costly 7" ho was asked.
"It cost mo exactly $340," replied the
"commodoro" with a laugh, "and it was
worth a thousand times that much."
After a long sigh of satisfaction he
added :
"To bo reestablished in tho estima
tion of tho people thnt in Itself Is
worth moro than its mero weight i
gold if bueh a thing could be weighed."
Asked what his duties would be on the
commission, Kuehnle sold S
"I don't know. I will just fit in
wherever I am nssigued, nnd do the best

there was no confirmation of reports

President Secretly Amazod at
"Failure of Britain's Great
Naval Superiority"
ASKED ADMIRAL FOR
CONFIDENTIAL ADVICE
"Reply Was Long Cablegram of
Generalities," Daniels
Informs Senators
President's Appeal Made
in Critical Stage of War
At the time the President's con
fidential message was sent to Ad
miral Sims, July 4, 1017, Germany
was counting on U-boats to win the
war, nnd every week wns sinking nt
least fifteen British vessels of more
than 1C00 tonnage, besides smaller
ships. '
Moreover, Germany had just
placed a screen of submarines moro
than 800 miles out in the Atlantic,
In an effort to cut American sea
tanc3, and American transport had
battled with them.
Germany was then turning out
hundreds of U-boats a year, had
perfected devices to make them'
more deadly and wns reported to
have established a base in Mexico.
By the Associated Press
Washington, May 12. A confidential
cablegram from President Wilson to
Rear Admiral Sims in London, sent
during the war, was rend to the Senate
naval investigating committee today by
Secretary Daniels.
It expressed surprise that the British
admiralty had failed to "uso Great
Britain's great naval superiority" cf- '
fectively against the submarines nnd
called on Admiral Sims for comments
and suggestions based on "independent
thought" nnd without rcgnrd to "judg
ments' of any one on that side of the
water."
The admiralty was "helpless to ths
point of panic" In the free of the sub
marine situation, the message said.
President Wilson asked "Admirnl Sims
to advise him as he would,glve advice
"if you were running a navy of your
own."
Slms's rcnlv. snid Seoretnrv Dnntelai
J who presented the President's message!
iu wuuuciuun wnu ins answer to aims -charges
against tho Navy Department's
conduct of the wnr, was "a long cable

ish admiralty was doing."

'From the beginning of the war. I
have been greatly surprised at the fail
ure of tho British admiralty to use
Great Britain's great naval superiority
In nn effective way. In the presence
of the present submarine emergency
they nro helpless to the point of panic.
"Every plan we suggest they re
ject for some reason of prudence. In
ray view, this is not a time for prudence'
but for boldness, even nt the cost of
great losses.
"In most of your dispatches you have
quite properly advised us of the sort of ,
aid and co-operation desired from t
by the admiralty. The trouble is that
their nlans and methods do tint sn-m
to us efficacious.
"'would be very much obliged to
you If you would report to me, confi
dentially, of course, exactly what the
admiralty has been doing und what
they have accomplished, and, added to
the report, your own comments nnd
suggestions, based upon independent
thought of the whole situation, without
regard to tho judgments of uuy one
on that side of tho water.
"The admiralty was very slow to
ndopt the protection of convoys and
it is not now, I judge, protecting con
voys on adequate scale within tho dan

with the grand fleet.
