Wireless Company.
Contention Is That Presidenf Has
Full Authority to Enforce
Strict Neutrality.

Washington, ID. C.-By order o.
President Wilson and with the assis
lance Of the army and navy, the wire
leas station Of the Marconi company al
Siasconset, Mass. was closed Saturday
because 1t declined to recognize the
right of the Federal government to ex-
ercise censorship over the plant.

nizance Of the fact that the Marconi

an application for an injunction to re-
strain the naval officers from closing
or censoring the station. The wireless
company finally decided to offer no re-
sistance and the station was closed at
p. m.
The Navy department made public

the department and Ensign f. b. Nix
on, u. s. NJ, in charge at the Siascon-

German Submarines Sink
Three EnOIish Batfleships

London-~The British cruisers Abou.
kir. Hogue and Greasy. Of identical
tonnage and armament. were sunk at
1880 A. m. Wednesday. on the North
Sea by five German submarines. ac-
cording to an official announcement.
First the Aboukir was torpedoed; az
the other vessels drew In 10 rescue the
crew, they In turn we're sunk.
This was the severest loss the Brit
ish navy has suffered during the war.
British cruisers and torpedo boats
came quickly to the assistance of the
doomed vessels. and II Ia reported sank
two Of the German submarines, while
three others escaped.
The three cruisers carried more than
1000 men. but no estimate has vet
been made Of the number Of saved or
lost. The fate Of the cruiser pathfind-
or. sunk recently In the North Sea by
a torpedo, proved how quickly ship
may be sent to the bottom by an under
water attack and II Is therefore be-
lieved that tho loss Of life ID bound to
be heavy.
The steamer Flores took 2S7 survi-
vors OF the sunken ships into the Dutch
port Of Ymuiden. The steamer Titan
picked up ia men. one of when after
ward died. Twenty Of the wounded
we're kept on board the vessel, while
the others Of the wounded were trans
ferred to British men-of-war. The
Lowestoft, another British craft, res
cued good number.
The German policy of keeping the
German battle fleet In harbor and as-
tempting to pick OIL British ships one
by one thus FAR has resulted In the loss
Of three l2, o00-ton cruisers. the Path
finder of 5000 tons and two small craft
destroyed by mines.

London Watches Sky for
Attacks by Air Graft

London-England is becoming more
and more apprehensive about German
aeroplanes and Zeppelins. Prepare.
tions have been made in the English
capital against such an attack.
1t is generally conceded that Zeppe-
Inns could hardly make trip over as
well defended country as London in
the daytime because of the guns on
high buildings. At night the flight of
Zeppelin over London would be COM
paratively safe.
For weeks lights about Buckingham
Palace have not been lighted and with.
in the last few days only about one
third OF the London street lights have
been turned on. Stores, theaters, no.
tells and other public places have been
asked through the newspapers to re-
duce their lights to the minimum that
London may not offer bright glow
for the guidance of aerial navigators.

Masonic Sign Said to Haze
SdUed so From Execution

Ostend-The power of Freemasonry
is illustrated by story told here by q
citizen of Louvain, who, with the Ma
sonic sign, says he saved so of his fell
low citizens from being shot to death
by German troops.
This group of citizens, according to
the recital of the Belgian Mason, had
been lined up for execution. The Ger
man firing party had aimed their rifles
when the narrator gave a Masonic
sign. The German officer commanding
the firing squad happened to belong to
the craft. He recognized a brother
Mason and ordered the Louvain Free
mason to leave the ranks. This meant
sparing his life.
The Louvain citizen, however. re-
fused, saying: my fellow citizens
are no more guilty than l am. If you
are going to kill them, shall be killed
with them"
The German officer then ordered the
release of the entire party.
