WILL SUE GOVERNMENT.
Marconi Wireless Co. Is Preparing the
Papers.

New York, Sept. 23.--The Marconi
Wireless Telegraph company of America
announced last night it was preparing
papers for sut in the federal courts to
determine. whether the United States
government has the right and power to
close its plants for not observing the
naval neutrality regulations.
Edward j. Nally. vice-president and
general manager, said the following tel
egram was sent to Josephus Daniels, sec
retary of the navy, after the company
had been informed yesterday that its
station at Siasconset, Mass, would be
closed unless the company gave assur-
ances that il would observe the rules
"We have been unable to procure the
attorney generals opinion regarding the
use of the wireless, owing to unwilling
ness of the departments to give it out.
In view of the very important legal
questions involved and public and private
injury that would be caused by forcible
action, we suggest that such action be
withheld long enough for us to submit
questions to decision of a federal court
in suit, papers for which are now being
prepared.
"We desire" the statement reads, to
correct any impression that the public
may have that the Marconi company is
wilfully trying to evade neutrality laws.
Ne are endeayoring TO the utmost of our
ability TO conform to every requirement
of neutral citizen of this country. We
take the position that the reception and
transmission of messages from our sta
tions are not forbidden by any law or
treaty.
''If il is unneutrsl for the Marconi
company to receive a message from
British war vessel at sea it is quite as
unneutral for a telegraph or cable com
pany to receive or forward messages to
or from Canada, Great Britain, France
or Germany"

tar and red paint. Others said to have
been implicated in the mischief are un-
der l6 years of age and if any action is
taken in their cases, they will be ar
raigned before Judge Frank j. Martin IN
juvenile court.

BRITISH MUCH DISTURBED.
over Loss of Three Cruisers as They
Were Cautioned Against Raid.

London Sept. 23.-The daring raid of
German submarines across the North sea
which resulted yesterday morning in
the sinking of the three British cruisers
Abourlsir. Hogue and Cressy, has mo-
mentarily diverted attention from the
battlefelds of the continent.
This was one of the things which the
British navy has been led to expect, for
the Germans have frankly avowed their
plan was to reduce naval superiority By
submarine raids and the sowing Of
mines, and they have been training their
young officers for sallies of this kind
Nevertheless the British feet must
keep the seas to insure Great Britain's
food supply, and in doing so must run
great risks.
The ships which were sunk. while OBJ
solete. still were very useful and IL is
little satisfaction 70 England to know
that her cruiser feet Is stifl double in
number that Of the Germans and that,
as Winston Spencer Churchill. first lord
OF the admiralty. has said. she win be
able to build during the war three TO
Germans one.
