Captain Philip B. V. Broke, a most
gallant British officer, had commanded
the Shannon for nearly seven years.
Most of his officers and men had been
aboard with him through the greater
part of that period. He had brought
his ship to a tiptop condition for eff
fective service and had drilled his sea-
men and gunners so that they were as
fine and fit as any men who ever trod
deck timbers. On the other hand, Cap
tain Lawrence scarcely knew one of
his own seamen by sight. A number
of them were foreigners, and others
were American riffraff OF humanity.
Captain Broke had been blockading
Boston harbor with the Shannon and
other vessels. In May, 1913, he deter
mined to bring about a single ship
combat with the Americans and prove
to his country that British sailors still
knew how to fight The Shannon her
self gave challenge to combat by stand
ing in the offing across the bay when
the sun rose bright and glorious on
the morning Of the LIST day of June.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN
ON TAFT Speech and THE INDE.
PENDENCE LEAGUE.
Says League Duplicates Democratic
Demands on Vital Issues. CHARGES
Taft With Trying TO Amend the
Chicago Platform TO Make 1t AC-
Cepfable.

| FAIRVIEW, Neb. July 30 AL
though the heat was almost oppres-
sive at Fairview today, William j..
| Brayn was early in his office and at
work. After reading the platform
adopted by the Independence party
in Chicago, he gave out the following
statement:
1T contains number of planks
which are identical with or sub
/ istantially similar to the planks of
the Democratic platform. For in
stance, it favOrs the election of sena-
tors by direct vote as the Democratic
platform does; it's tariff plank is quite
like our tariff plank; it's plank on
the trusts, while opposing private
monopoly, is not as specific as ours:
its railroad plank does not differ
much from ours; it's plank on Asiatic
immigration is quite similar; and the
labor plan, like ours, contains a de-
claratiOn in favor of trial by jury and
in regard to the exemption of labor
organizations from the operation of
antitrust laws. Like our platform,
it condemns the extravaganza of the
Republican party and demands great
er economy. 1t does not advocate,
however, the establishment of a de-
partment of labor. with secretary
in the cabinet; it does not oppose i'm
perialism, which has been used to
justify the increase in our standing
army, and its plank as to publicity
of campaign contributions is not
nearly so strong as ours. The ques-
ton that must confront the member
of the independence party is this:
will he assist in the defeat of the
Democratic party, which stands for
so much that he favors, merely be-
cause he cannot get all that he would
like? Either the Democratic party
or the Republican party will win. and
the voter who, preferring the Demo-
cratic platform to the Republican
platform, joins with the Independ-
ence party, merely assists the Repub-
lican party. and thus defeats several
of the reforms in which he is inter-
ested. Take for instance, the plank
in favor of the election of senators by
the people. The Democratic party
has endorsed that reform in three
