THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1916L NEW QUESTIONS COME TOTHE FRONT Trying to Figure Out Result if ; r.nirland Should Nationalize ! e British Shipping. WOULD REMOVE CONFUSION Washington, Dec. 20. Nationali zation of British shipping, mentioned briefly by Premier Lloyd George as one of the first acts of the new war ministry, commands more interest here from the strictly American point oi view than any other phase of the premier's speech. What effect it would have on American foreign trade and on the status of British ships sunk by German submarines has opened a new and unexpected series of questions which officials re gard with much concern. The taking into the national serv ice of the whole mercantile marine, following closely on England's an nouncement that it could not guaran tee coal at any of its coaling bases the world over, except to ships con serving allied interests, is thought by officials at first glance to turn over the great majority of the world's car rying trade to specific war purpose. The effect on commerce for Amer ican purposes and not of service to the allies is problematical, especially as to the completeness with which Lloyd George enforces the order. ' Nevertheless, there is in law nothing the United States can do should the whole British merchant marine be withdrawn from American trade and harbors. To Remove Confusion. . It is thought the effect on the sub marine question would be to remove confusion between publio vessels not entitled to any guarantees and pri vate vessels entitled to warning and provision for the safety of those on board. Just where the point of dis tinction woulc lie is a complex ques tion. Lloyd George's announcement of the recognition of the agents of Ven izelos raises the question ' of what should be the attitude of this govern ment if Venizelos should become the de facto ruler of an appreciable part of Greece. A similar question has been faced since England took over from Turkey the i . ereignty of Egypt, but no decision reached. The State department has not been able to credit a new consul general to Cairo because it did not know whether to .redit him to Great Britain or to Turkey. Generally, the department has not recognized changes mad during the war, pre ferring to wait for the peace settle-, ment. Obituary Notices.

BISHOP OF OMAHA AT NEW CATHEDRAL TO BE INSTALLED (Conttaoea tYoat rw One.) bers and pupils of the different local Catholic societies and educational in stitutions, hundreds of well known professional and business men had come down to bid bon voyage to the departing head of the church. "With the students of the various colleges lining both sides of the street leadinir to nier five, and preceded by Torres' Boy Scouts' band and a pla toon of police, a long cnain ot auto mobiles bearing Archbishop Harty, Monsignor Petrelli and a number of other high church dignitaries, slowly wound its way to the dock. "As the archbishop passed the lines of students along the street he was received with continued .cheers and vivas, which increased as he reached the throngs assembled at the pier. Reception at Pier, "Before embarking there was a brief reception on the pier, in the course of which Alcalde Roxas ad dressed a iarewelt speech to the de parting archbishop. Speaking of the splendid work accomplished by Arch bishop Harty in these island, Mr. Roxas pointed out that no other pre late had labored here under such great difficulties, or under conditions in which church and state had no longer official connection. Neverthe less he had accomplished wonderful results and brought about a spirit of good will and co-operation in the community which had earned him the respect and esteem of every right thinking man and woman. "Accompanied by a dozen gaily dec orated launches, carrying bands and the different committees, the arch bishop left the pier in the steamer Matulin, which had been placed at his disposal, by the Yangco firm. As soon as he had boarded the Loong sang, she pulled up her mudhooks, and amidst the cheering of the crowds and whistling of the launches, the steamer swung around and headed to ward the bay Mb. m strii flaw i rtTtrm. m 1: 1 ' o w tj s u t m P I 1 WTOSgl.
