Acting With Enercgy.
London, July 27.-The British gov
ernment is taking energetic action i'm
the case of the sinking of the British
steamer knight Commander by the
VladvOstUk squadron. Information
tends to establish in the official mind
belief that an outrage has been COM
mitted for which no excuse exists In
international law. Those aware of the
feeling of the ministry said last night
all members of the cabinet are in ac-
cord regarding the principle of the in
volatility of the innocent neutral
shipping as well as upon the principle
of neutral ship being destroyed even
if carrying contraband of war
Demand To BE Made.
The demands which will be made
upon the Russian government will in
clude compensation to the owners of
the ship and to the owners of the
goods on board the Knight Command
er, an apology for the action of the
Russian cruisers, and an agreement
that instructions will be given which
will prevent a repetition of suC!: ac-
ton.

for the British government in the Ala
bama claims arbitration case. now a
judge of cinque ports and standing
counsel for the University of Cam
bridge, said to the Associated Press
last night that the sinking of the
Knight Commander was wholly illegal,
and cited international law to support
his contention. He said:
Time To Call Halt.
1T seems to me to be time for the
United States and Great Britain to- say
that they will not allow this extension
Of the rules relating to contraband of
war or this extraordinary interfer-
ance with neutral commerce."

New York, July .27.-The most i'm
portant action of the democratic ma
tional committee, aside from the Sc

his judgment may determine; appoint
an executive committee of not less
than five, nor more than seven; ap-
point a finance committee of not less
than three or more than five, and if,
in the Judgment OF the chair, these two
committees should be amalgamated
into an executive committee. then the
executive committee shall be compos-
ed of seven members.

the executive committee and the chair
man require it, or if it becomes advis-
able TO increase the number, they may
select additional members. not more

of said executive committee; that, in
with the resolution adopt
ed at the last democratic national
convention, the members of the eXecu-
