Company Yields Peace

Force Would Be Used.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
SANCTIONS STEP
John W. Griggs Says Damage
6 it May Be Instituted
Against Government.

Washington, Sept. 25.-By order Of
President Wilson, as commander IN
chief of the Army and Navy, the wire
less station of the Marconi company at
Siasconset, Mass, was closed to-day be-
cause it declined to recognize the right
of the government to exercise a censor
ship over the plant.
The Navy Department took no cog
nizance of the fact that the MarconI
company had appealed to federal
court and filed an application for an
Injunction to restrain the naval officers
from closing or censoring the station
Although it appeared as if the wireless
company might compel the naval om-
cprs TO exercise force, the company
finally decided to offer no resistance
and the station was closed at p. m.
The Navy Department made public
tonight the kilograms that had passed
between the department and Ensign
F. B. Nixon, in charge at the Slascon-
set station, as we'll as the opinion oil
Attorney General Gregory on the legal
ity OF the action.
The statement says that the Navy
Department received a message from
Ensign Nixon, at 1923 p. m. that the
following letter was received by him
yhen Secretary Daniels's instructions
we're delivered to the Msrconi men IN
charge OF the station: 81 acknowledge
receipt of your letter of instructions
relative to the cessation OF all radio
communications at SiascOnset, Mass,

Nixon's message added.
The department about an hour later
heard from Ensign Nixon that: "ThS

at p. m"
mo instructions from the depart
ment had been sent TO Ensign Nixon
between the receipt of these two mes
sages," says the Navy Departments

Two Ships, with Engines
Stopped, Easy Targets
for TorpedoeS.
1.46O NOW BELIEVED
TO HAVE PERISHED
Reports of Commanders of Lost
Vessels Tell of Many
Deeds of Heroism.

London. Sept 25.--Thc facts con-
Cerning the sinking of the British
cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy
by German submarine or submarines
in the North Sea, with loss of nearly
co officers and 400 men, are contained
IN an Admiralty statement issued to-
night.
The reports of Commanders Nichol-
son of she Cressy and Norton Of the
Hoguo state that the Ab6ukir was hit
by one torpedo and sank in thirty-five
minutes. Three torpedoes were fired at
the Cresgy. one Of the explosives miss
ing narrowly. She lasted from thirty
five to forty-fve minutes. The Hogue
was struck twice, ten to twenty seconds
clapsing between the torpedoes, and
wont under in five minutes.
The Cressy fired on the submarine
and some Of the officers were confident
hat the shots sank her. Commander
Nicholson says that the three torpedoes
directed against his ship might have
been fred by the same submarine and
that there is no real proof that more
than one was engaged.
The reports show that the greatest
discipline was maintained and that acts
of heroizm were performed, but the Ad-
miraIty has established the rule that
hn nv n
same laws as prevail in naval action,
and tina. disabled ships must be left
to their own resources rather than
that other ships should be jeopardi2ed
by rescue work.
The Admiralty's Statement.
The Admiralty's statement follows:
"The facts of this affair cannot be
better conveyed to the public than by
the attached reports Of the senior offi-
GERS who have survived and VINO have
landed in England.
"The sinking Of the AbouKir was, of
course, an ordinary hazard Of patrol
ling duty. The HOgue and the Crcssy,
however, were sunk because they pro-
ceeded to the assistance of their consort
and remained with engines stopped,
ondeavoring to save life, thus present
ing an easy and certain target to fur~
ther submarine attacks.
"The natural promptings of human
ity have in this case led to heavy
losses which would have been avoided
bv strict adherence to military consid-
erations. Modern naval war is present

People United in Defend
ing Vital Interests,
Says Premier.
URGES IRISH TO HELP
DEFEND THE CAUSE
This the VindicatiOn of lHterna-
tional Good Faith and Pro"
lection of Weak.

Dublin. Sept. 25.--Premier ASquith
appeared at the Mansion House here
tonight for the purpose, as he eX-
pressed it in the opening Of his speech
las head of the Kings government to
summon loyal and patriotic Ireland to
take her place in defence of our COM
mon cause"
The Prime Minister received tre-
mendous welcome when he appeared at
the Mansion House, with John +: Red
mond. the Irish Nationalist leader, and
the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Lieutenant
If Ireland, and his opening words
aroused the greatest enthusiasm. he
went on to say that there had been
wars with regard to which there was
A diversity Of opinion, but that was
not the case to-day.
Throughout the empire to-day, ne
declared, without distinction OF creed,
party OF race, climate or class or Sec
ton, the people were united in de-
tending the principle of maintaining
interests which were vital, not only to
the British Empire, but to all tha- was
worth having in our common Civiliza-
ton and the future progress of man
kind, whether Great Britain succeeded
or failed.
But" exclaimed the Prenier, Eve
are not going TO fail"
There could not be any hi%hcr cause,
said the Premier, than the vindication
of international good faith and protec-
tion of the weak against the violence OF
the strong and those who preached a
practical religion Of force. Germany
was the real responsible factor in this
war. There was nothing in the quar-
rel, such as it was between Austria
and Servia, that could not be settled
by pacific means, but for the fact tnat
in the judgment Of those guiding and
controlling the German policy the
hour had come to strike the blow
which had been long deliberately pre-
pared.
The invasion of Belgium and France,
said the Prime Minister, constituted
the blackest pages of wars sombre his
tory. England had worked to the last
for peace.
In his appeal to Irishmen he was
backed by lrishmen of all parts of the
empire and the world. "The old ami
mosities are dead. What Great Britain
asks, what she believes Ireland is ready
and eager TO give" he said. "is free
will offering of free people"
In their hands. declared Mr.. Asquith,
lay the choice between peace and war
and their election was for war.
Great crowds gathered in the streets
of Dublin and cheered the Nationalist
volunteers, who, armed with rides and
bsyonets, acted as a, guard Of hOUor.
