LONDON PAPERS BELIEVE 1T

French Papers Give Much Comment
to the Message But Majority of
Them Refrain from Commentaries

London, aug. 2S.--The London
morning papers commenting on Pres
ident Wilson's message are not al.
together sanguine of the wisdom or
success OF President Wilson's policy
but are agreed that it is almost GER
tain to lead to American Intervention.
therefore indicating that a grave cris-
is has been reached.
The Morning Post says:
President Wilson will have his
hands ful. If he sets himself up as
the censor of morals for the presi-
dents of Latin-America."
The Express says:
President Wilson is not the man
to bluff on such a question. From
his stern and explicit message it is
clear that Mexico must either climb
down or fight. Great britain has
large interests and much to lose by
war, but it is difficult to understand
how British sympathy could be other
wise bestowed than on the Unite d
States"
The Daily News says that if only
the European powers do not stiffen
Huerta's back. President Wilson's
policy will prove as judicious as it
is prudent.

|MMODEST DRESS
SCORED BY HELM
CONGRESSMAN LOOKS TO WOMEN
WHO COMBAT EXTREME STYLES
FOR NATIONS STRENGTH.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Women who
shun the immodesty and impropriety
of present-day fashions can be relied
upon for the future strength and pos
OF the nation, according to Congress-
man Hefiin, of Alabama. Hef1in ex-
pressed lis opinion of diaphanous
feminine drapery and the slit skirt
craze as follows:
Il would paraphrase the Scripture,

and say, by their dress or lack of

genius of lustful fashion through i'm
modest dress is playing havoc with
a certain class of women in this coun-

ALL HOPE is GIVEN UP FOR
Safety OF YOUNG McDOUGAl
Nothing Has Ever Been Heard Of
Young Man Since He Left Here '--
Several Days Ago.

That young Cecil McDougal was
drowned and his launch lost while en-
route from Brunswick to Jacksonville,
is now practically certain, as all eff
forts TO locate any trace of the
young man have failed.
AS stated in The News Tuesday
morning, young McDougal left here
two .weeks ago in a launch alone,
towing a lighter loaded with furni-
ture. The lighter was picked up at
sea the latter part of last week by
a Fernandina fishing smack, but
nothing at all has ever been learned
about the young man, nor has any
report ever been received about the
launch. 1t Is the general belief that
the engine of the launch broke down
and that the craft with it's lone pas
senger went to sea or went to the
bottom.

Three Members of the Crew Were

gers, was swept by flames and de,
spite heroic efforts OF the steamers
fire fighters, aided by the departments
of Jersey City, Hoboken, and New
York city. the steamer was badly
damaged
All passengers were transferred to
the pier. Steerage passengers were
thrown into panic but We're gotten
out without serious injury. Three
men We're roasted to death fighting
the flames.
The fire started in provision
room, spreading rapidly. AT seven
thirty this morning it looked like the
seven and a half million dollar steam
er would be a total loss but the hard
work of those fighting the fire check
ed the blaze in the second cabin.
Firemen are still fighting the fire in
the coal bunkers and have an allday
job ahead of them.
Had the fire broken out while the
steamer was at sea the Titanic dis
aster would undoubtedly have been
repeated, only the loss of life would
have been much greater.
The loss is estimated at s350,OO
Two sailors though dead from the
flames have been found uninjured.
