Of the rights of men. 1t consists IN
the translation OF those declarations
into definite action.
The way to be patriotic in America
is not only to love America but to
love the duty that lies nearest to. our
hand and know that in performing u
we are serving our country. J
It iscpatriotic to learn what the
facts Of gu national life are and to
face them with candor.

Here is his optimistic prediction:
81 doubt not this war will bring to
the world at large some great gains
gains not sought by anv Of the COM
batants-gains not desired by most OF
them-gains won in spite Of them all.
cit will bring, in the first place. such
q demonstration, not only of the hor-
rors Of war, but Of its futility, it's
stupidity as the arbitrator Of interna-
tional relationship that there will be
a mighty revulsion against war, and
that we shall soon realize that we
have seen the beginning Of the n
Of it.
sit will bring home to us, also, IN
the sufferings which we shall undergo
through the rupture of all these IN
dustrial relations, and the Interrupt
ton Of human progress, and the dis
location of SO much OF the order of
the world on which we have learned
to depend, the truth that for this
world industry and world commerce
an world finance and world riend-
ship we must have a world peace.
1T will bring the kings Of this
world and their ministers and their
chancellor -those OF them especially
who are most responsible for this
outbreak-to the bar OF: the world s

most stupendous blunder and %the
most ghastly crime Of history. It VIII
demand Of them very pointedly what.
reason they have to offer why they
should not have their power onsld-

upon discrowning them, but it is pref

FIRE BROKE OUT ON
 STEAMER MASSACHUSETTS
Quickly. Extinsuished with Aid of
 New York Fireboats.

New York, July 19.7Fire which broke out on the steamer Massachu- setts. of the Eastern Steamship com pany. owned by the New Haven rail road shortly after the vessel, with 300 passengers on board, had left her Hudson river pier for Boston early last night, was extinguished quickly and with little damage, by the help o1 municipal fire boats and of fTemen whom they sent on board the endan- gered vessel to ply its fire hose. The fire was confined to the engine room, near the oil tanks of the steamer, an oil burning craft. There was no panic among the passengers, but for con- venience in fighting the flames they were marshalled for the time being In two groups-one at the. stern and the other near the bow of the vessel.
 When the fire broke out clouds of smoke began to shoot up from the Massachusetts and the fire boats and other crafts put out to her assistance The steamer did not stop her engines however, and her own men and the assisting fire craft fought the blaze as she steamed up the East river. By the time she had reached the foot oi 18th street on the way to Hell Gate the fire was out and the two fire boats cast loose A wireless to the steamers owners reported that the damage was slight An hours delay in the steam CTS arrival at Boston might be caused by the fire it was said. A fireman witf hand torch searching for a leak 1T the oil pipes is believed to have caused the blaze

sEEkIfto A SOLUTION
 oF iR1sH PROBLEM.
King Has Called a Conference of the
 Leaders of All Parties.

London. July 20.-Fhe king has calI- cd a conference of the leaders of all the nerfies to seek solution of the Irish problem. This is the momentous an nouncement which Premier Asquith is expected to make, today when the bill amending the home rule bill comes up again for consideration in the house of commons.
 The prime minister's speech on this occasion, indicating how the govern ment proposes to deal with the lords amendments to the amending bill, is awaited with the deepest anxiety. and it ts probable that the house will i'm pedia4ely adjourn the debate on the amending bin indefinitely in order to New the negotiations for a settlement to proceed outside of parliament.
 Premier Asquith has been with the hing at Portsmouth during the week end and the kings anxiety to get the difncuitv settled resulted in the de- c4sfon to call . conference.
 It is said that the various leaders invited have accepted the invitation and that the conference will meet at an early date probably on Tuesday. in London The king will receive the del- sgates, but will not himself preside over the conference. which, it is eonfi- denfiy thought, under such exalted au- spices. will prove successful

TWO SERIOUSLY INJURED
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Car Crashed Into Baby Carriage at Westport.

Black Rock, Conn, July 19.7Mar- guerite Fahey, aged two years, and her father both of this city, are in St Vincents hospital and will probably died from injuries as a result of an automobile accident which occurred this afternoon at Black Rock.
 The automobile, driven by Mrs Lil- Han Evans. wife of James M. Evans. the Standard Oil magnate, of Vest port, crashed into the baby carriage containing Marguerite. which was be- ing pushed by her father. The car riage man and child were hurled to the side of the road.
 Fahey sustained a broken left shouI- der. a broken leg, broken nose, possi- ble internal injuries and deep lacera- tion on his head. four inches wide The baby has a fractured skull and cuts and abrasions of the head and feet
 Mrs. Evans. who is suffering from the shock of the accident, was unable to give any statement tonight. Ac- cording to L. H. Vessels of New York an occupant of the car. it was travel ing at rate of eight miles an hour at the time. When the accident occurred Mrs. Evans became paralyZed from fright. and Vessels from his seat in front, reached over the steering wheel and pushed on the emergency the machine was travelling at rate ot 20 miles an hour when the accident happened.
 This theory is based on the fact that the car travelled SO feet after the brakes were applied.
 Mrs. Evans was held at police head | quarters until e.30 o'clock this evening when she waa released on cash bond

WONDERFUL RESERVOIR
 FOR CANALS WATER SUPPLY
Gatun Lake Will Afford Ample Sup ply for All Emergeneies.

Washington. July 1e.-Resources of Gatun lake. the wonderful artificial reservoir which is the main depend ence of the Panama canal for its water supply, have proven ample to meet all possible demands, after the most se- were practical test Although the amount of water which ran into the lake during the last dry season-Jan- uary to April inclusive-waS less than in any similar period for the past 22 years, being only 61 per cent. of the normal collection, the lake was main tained at its proper elevation through out that period.
 The dry season afforded the first opportunity engineers had to deter mine the amount of evaporation from the surface of the lake at its full depth. The figures showed that there was still sufficient water at the end Of the, dry season to have kept the lake level at 7s feet above sea level, which would have given 3s feet of water in Culebra cut or about ten feet more than the draft of the biggest 1 battleship.
 At the end of the present rainy sea son. Gatun lake will be S7 feet above sea level and, allowing for, the known
 evaporation, leakage and seepage. this
 would be ample for forty one passages
 daily through the locks, using them at 1 full length or about 5S lockages a
 day when partial length is use, as gen.
 erally would be the case. This is a | larger number of lockages than would
 be possible in single day. Even in ] the great Sault Ste Marie Canal the
 lockages last year averages 41.7 while
 the Suez canal reported only 12 per 1 day. This assurance of an ample water
 supply to meet all possible contingent cies. including the heavy drafts for ] power purposes, affords great satisfac- ton to Panama canal engineers, espe- I foreign countries as .ta the success ful operation of the canal in the dry season.
