STATION OPERATED I BY UNITED STATES: c ACTION TAKEN TO INSURE AGAINST VIOLATIONS OF ] NEUTRALITY. < Washington, July 8.?American j naval officers today took charge of the powerful wireless plant of the ? Atlantic tommunicauun v/umpa?j i at Sayville, Long Island, which will i be operated by the government until < the close of the European war to in- < sure against violations of neutrality. * This i^ one of the two stations in the 1 United States maintaining direct communication with Germany. The 1 other, at Tuckerton, N. J., has been 1 under control of the navy depart- ' ment since last fall. ( Captain William Bullard, superin- 1 tendent of the naval radio service, took over the Sayville station, pre- ' - - * senting a letter to tne owners irum Secretary Daniels. He is empowered 1 Ito /make all preliminary arrangements for the collection of tolls and management of the plant, and will use Jus discretion in deciding whether to retain part of the present force . or iman the station with all navy j operators. iPcot??t M?r?ly Formal. ^ Authority to assume control of ra- ^ dio stations and turn over the pro- } ceeds of the business to the private j owners was given the navy depart* * " J 2?...J 3 meat by an executive oraer issucu soon after the war began. It is un- . derstood here the protest filed by the SayvQle owners is merely a formal action for the protection of legal rights and will not be pressed in an effort to interfere with the government's policy. 1 Although there have been reports of unneutral cryptic messages sent from Sayville to be picked up by submarines or other vessels at sea, in spite of the presence of naval censors, no charges cf violations of neutrality have reached the navy department.

The station has been r >perating under a temporary ar- I angement. e In a leter to the navy department, * Mr. Redfield recited the fact that the P plant was German-owned, communicated with a plant in Germany con- 8 trolled by the imperial government, * was provided with its highpowered s lending apparatus after the war be- a ?an, and had in charge of its experi- v nental work Captain Sennick, of the * German marine service. Under such a circumstances, Secretary Redfield said, to grant the station a license v would be an unneutral act. t Regulations now in force at Tuckerton will be applied at Sayville. No r 2ode dispatches will be handled un- 1 [ess the officers in charge are provi- 1 ded with the cipher key, and there ^ will be liberal paraphrasing to pre- * yent the possibility of secret codes being used. * COTTON CROP OF 1914 LARGEST EVER PRODUCED * Washington, July 8.?The Ameri:an cotton crop of 1914 was the largest ever produced, having reached ^ 16.134,930 equivalent 500-pound j bales, which, if placed end to end, ^ would reach more than half round 2 the world at the equator.

London, July 8..?The Italian navy las suffered its first serious loss, an Austrian submarine having torpeloed the cruiser Amalfi in the Adriitic. Most of the crew were saved. This is the second allied warship o fall victim to an Austrian underwater craft. The French cruiser jeon Gambetta earlier in the war was caught in the Ionian Sea. The commander, who was the last o leave, slipped overboard shortly tefore the Amalfi sank. Nearly all he officers and crew were saved. All the belligerents are rapidly milling submarines and it is retorted that Austria has nine at Pola done. Thus the Italian ships will un serious risks in moving about he waters of the Adriatic, which ire well suited to the submersibles.
