ROOSEVELT ASKS
PEACE COUNCIL
Invitation to the Powers to Send
Delegates to The Hague
Is Ready.

Washington, Oct. Pin the course
Of two days the president will dispatch
formal invitations to the powers to
name delegates to the new. peace con-
ference to be held at The Hague. The
powers are invited to suggest date
or dates for the meeting Of the confer.
ence. Secretary Hay submitted a draft
of the invitation to the cabinet today.
Notice of his intention to. issue this
call was given by the president several
weeks ago, upon the occasion OF the
visit to the White House of the dele
gates Of the interparliamentary union,
and the formal invitation has been in
course Of preparation ever since. -
There was no hesitation on the part
of the president in framing the invita-
ton, hence of course it is assumed the
government of the Netherlands was
first consulted. The date Of the meet.
ing was left open because it is stated
that anyone Of the powers has as much
right to suggest date as the United
States. Consequently there must be
considerable correspondence on this
SUBJECT before an agreement is reached.
It is not expected that the conference
will meet during the continuance Of the
present war unless this should continue
indefinitely. It cannot be learned that
any consideration has yet been given
to the personnel Of the delegation
which will represent the United States
at the conference.

ENGLAND DENIES
GERMAN REQUEST
Refuses Harbor in Southwest
Africa for Landing
Of Troops.

Berlin, Oct. 21.-The government has
asked Great Britain to permit Germany
to use Walfsh bay for the landing Of
troops and supplies essential in the war
against the natives Of German South
west Africa. The British government
has refused positively to grant the re-
quest.
Walfsh bay is the only good harbor
for a thousand miles along that coast.
It lies in that portion Of the shore held
by Great Britain near Swakopmund, the
port Of entry to German Southwest At
RIGA: Swakopmund has always been a
difficult harbor to enter and is especial
ly SO this year, as the Swakop river has
discharged immense quantities Of sand
into the shadows.
Great Britain IS refusal to allow troops
to land in Walfsh bay will, it is as
serted, interfere seriously with Ger
many IS military plans in Southwest At
RIGA.
Cable dispatches nearly every day
bring news Of some small German re-
verse in Southwest Africa. News was
telegraphed last night that the German
station at Nomtsas had been captured
by the Hottentots.

SCORES THE EAST
Arraigns Extravaganza of Par

Boston, Oct. 21.-In a sermon today
to the national council of the Clerical
Union for the maintenance and defense
of the Catholic principles, Rt. Rev.
Reginald II. Weller, DID,, bishop coad-
iutor Of Fond du Lac, Wsi., made plea
for contributions towards the work in
the west. He said it had often been
charged that Catholic parishes in the
east spent more money for music alone
tenance Of some western districts. He
thought the eastern Catholic parishes
should contribute more to the west, to
whom he said, they owe their continu-
ance. Had it not been for those do
ceses he declared the eastern Catholic
parishes would have been legislated out
Of existence long ago.

New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Alarmed at re-
ported and mysterious attempts that
have been made recently to wreck bat
tleships prior to their launching, steps
were taken today to protect all govern
ment vessels in course Of construction.
It is expected that marine guards
will patrol all gshipyards where men-of-
war are being built. ..-
There was an important conference
today between General Elliott, in
charge of the marine corps; Admiral
Converse, chief of the bureau Of navi-
cation, and Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy Darling.
The meeting was behind closed doors.
The general matter of furnishing pro-
lection to warships on the stocks was
gone over thoroly. The unprecedented
marine guard for the battleship
Pennsylvania at the Cramp yard in
Philadelphia will probably be .dupli.

It is believed this latest action Of the
government was based on information

been known that any attempt was made

The first ballot is the one referred
to. The second, taken Wednesday
night after supper, resulted in six to

The argument put up by those vot-

times at cards.
Two of the jurors have been reported
as declaring before their selection on

convict DR.. Ames. One of these in
particular is subject to investigation
by the authorities and may find him
self in trouble on a serious charge. It
