FUNSTON WANTS
MORE TROOPS
A. P. A. Special.
WASHINGTON, May ?2.—
General Funston has asked the
war department to send him
everything available in the line
of troops including the entire
coast artillery for service on the
border. The request is said to
be due to the tardiness of arrival
of the national guard of the bor
der states. Back of Hie entire
matter is said to be the refusal
of many of the guards to under
take active service and also be
cause of the physical inability of
many others to undergo cam
paigning. Baker has the matter
of forwarding to coast artillery
under advisement.

I BERLIN, May 22.—In order

' ed back to Potsdam today and
| is now reported engaged in un
j tangling the differences in
I which his cabinet officials have
' become involved.
The exact nature of the diffi
culties at present existing in the
ministerial ranks is not definite
* ly known but it is openly hinted
in several of the leading news
papers which are looked upon as
spokesmen of the government,
that dissensions of the most seri
I ou.s nature have occurred.
, 'l'li(> change of attitudfe with
( respect to the submarine warfare
I is unofficially alleged to be the
, real starting point of the trouble
although it is known that dis
agreements of far different na
lure have occurred at intervals
and have given rise to reports
which have gained a world wide
•(Circulation that a ministerial
crisis was approaching. The
! most insistent of these reports
related to an alleged inclination
1 of Von Jagow to lay down the
port folia of foreign minister and
of the probable appointment of
Vo„ Ruelou as his successor. It
is indicated, however, that the
kaiser will, as usual, control the
situation and it is the general
opinion that nothing will devel
op. It is announced that follow
ing the present conferences, the
emperor will leave for the Rus~
sian front, where it is expected
that the spring military opera*
lions will commence at an early

HOUSE PASSES FAMOUS
ALEXANDER SHIP DILL
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, May 22.—
The administration shipping bill
designed to up build the mer
chant marine and strengthen the
navy, was passed by the house
of representatives today.
Despite the terrific efforts
made to prevent the passage of
the measure at the last session
there were few modifications or
amendments offered and the bill
passed the house in virtually the
same form in which it was in
troduced. That the bill was not
the subject of considerable op
position is indicated by the fact
fchat the measure carried bv a
large majority.
While the idea is doubtless
more of a surmise than anything
else it is believed that a strenu
ous light will be offered the
measure in the senate. A canvass
of the members does not, how
ever, bear out the belief that
•
•
such will be the case. So tar
as expressions of opinion may
be looked upon as an index of
sentiment, the contrary is the
case as. aside from a few who arc
notorious wearers of corporation
^hackles, the solons appear to
look upon the bill with compla
cency.
