strategical reasons it was a matter of life or death to Germany to ad- vance through Belgium and violate the latter's neutrality, so I would wish him to understand that it was, so to speak, matter of life or death for the honor of Great Britain that she should keep her solemn en- gagement to do her utmost to de- fend Belgium's neutrality if attacked. A solemn compact simply had to be kept, or what confidence could anyone have in engagements given by Great Britain in the future?

 Greatly Excited By News.
 '1 hinted to his excellency as plain ly as I could that fear of conse- ouences could hardly be regarded as an excuse for breaking a solemn en- eagement. But his excellency was so excited, so evidently overcome by the news of our action, so little ols- posed to hear reason that l refralneo from adding fuel to the flame py further argument.
 "As I was leaving he said that the blow of Great Britain joining Ger many's enemies was all the greater because almost up to the last moment he and his government had been working with us and supporting our efforts to maintain peace between Austria and Russia.
 .' Part of the Tragedy. "I said that this was part of the tragedy which saw two nations Tall apart at just the moment when the relations between them were more friendly and cordial than they had heen for years Unfortunately, not | withstanding our efforts to maintain neace between Austria and Russia, war had spread and brought us face | to face with situation which entalleo | our separation from our late lel- ! low workers.

ONLY ONE ISSUE IN
 MOOSE PLATFORM
Elimination of Murphy and Barnes
 is Progressive Slogan.

Utica, Aug. 2s.-The 500 word plat form, called an Address to the Peo- ple," adopted by the progressive state conference yesterday says that there is only one issue this year-"to see that Murphy and his kind are not once more replaced by MT. Barnes and his kind in the halls and corri- dors of the state capitol"
 It was largely written by William H. Hotchkiss and was approved by follows:
 We, about to enter upon one of the most crucial campaigns in the history of political freedom in Ameri- ca, hereby ratify and confirm our na- tional and state platforms adopted in 1912.
 "The time is not opportune to write new platforms in this state. The first need is to get back into the hands of the people of the state the power over their own political and governmental affairs which has long been denied them. Until this is secured all dis cussion of social and industrial and political justice through law or through improved constitutional pro- vision is idle and futile.
 Machines Menace Revealed.
 "The gathering of the Barnes ma- chine in force at Saratoga has re- vealed once again the menace of the tyranny and oppression in the sfad- ow of which 9,000,000 men ana women are now living. Men talk of the demoralization and corruption of Murphy and the Tammany regime in Albany.
 Tt was Barnes fierce fight at AL bany against the honest leadership and progressive policies of Gov. Hughes which gave us Murphy at Albany and the gigantic evils which

lol REFUGEES ARRIVE
 ON STEAMER ARCAD|AN
Americans Pay $500 Each for
 Trip From Liverpool.

New York, Aug 2s.-The Royal Mail steamer Arcadian from Liver pool brought 101 American refugees into New York last night in cabins de luxe In contrast to the crowded liners that have been coming from the war zone there was plenty of room on the Arcadian. Not one of the pas sengers had paid less than $500 for his passage.
 The capacity of the Arcadian is $50. She is usually run in the Bermuda service in the winter and to Norway in the summer. Some of the passen- gers were indignant at the prices charged by the Arcadian, but others were glad to pay any amount to come over in comfort without the crowds now being packed into the big lin. CTS.
 Sighted British Battleship.
 The Arcadian arrived with just enough coal to get her into port. She ran with lights blanked at night. At midnight on Wednesday she passed the France, east bound, with all lights burning. Officers said they sighted the Gloria, second class British battle ship, yesterday at Il Al. M.

SMITH FAMILY REUNION.

Sixty-fve descendants of George Smith, one of the original settlers of New Haven who came from Plymouth Mass, attended the annual reunion of that branch of the Smith family held in Burlington yesterday. A num- Der of people from New Britain were nresent. The officers elected for the coming year were Edward P. Baldwin of Burlington, president; Benjamin Page of Harwinton. vice president; J. Minor Baldwin of Harwinton, treasur- CT, and Miss Alice Baldwin of Har- winton, secretary.

had declared war against Germany.
 Mob Attacks Embassy.

Immediately" says the report, "an exceedingly excited and unruly mob assembled before the embassy and the police were overpowered. We took no notice of this until the crash of glass and the landing of cobble- stones in the drawing room where we were all sitting, warned us that the situation was getting unpleasant.
 The ambassador telephoned to the foreign office and police were sent and cleared the street. No more d1- rect unpleasantness occurred. Herr von Jagow called and expressed his regrets. He said that the behavior of his countrymen made him feel more ashamed than he could say. He had decided that the news of the dec- laration of war should not be pub lished until the following morning and for that reason sent only small force of police to protect the embassy.
 Emperor Sends Regrets.
 The next day the emperor sent an aide with a message, in which the em- peror regretted the occurrences and also requested the ambassador to tell the king of England that he would at once divest himself of his British titles. D. t+..a
 With respect to this message, the ambassador says: "The message lost none of it's acerbity by the manner of it's delivery
 von Jagow's Courtesy.
 The ambassador speaks very high ly of the courtesy received at the hands of Herr Von Jagow and the of- ficials of the foreign office. The min- ister sent him a letter couched in the most friendly terms. On the morning of his departure the ambassador and the members of his staff were smuggled in taxicabs through streets patrolled by strong forces of police and every arrangement was made for their comfort. They suffered no mo- lestation,' says the ambassad dor, such as that meted out by the crowd to my Russian and French col leagues"
 A colonel of the guards accom- panied the train to the Dutch from tier. and was exceedingly kind in his efforts to prevent the great crowds which thronged the platforms of ev- cry station where the train stopped from insulting the British representa- tives.

have followed in his train. Once rid the state for all time of Barnes at Albany and Murphy at Albany will go by the very force of circumstances.
 MT. Murphy is an effect. MT. Barnes is the cause.
 We bid godspeed to the progress sive democrats who within their own party are fighting against the rule of the insolent and arrogant Murphy. To the progressive republicans, denied by the deliberate circumstances of the primary law from making common cause with us, We bid godspeed in their struggle against the cunning and astuteness of Barnes.
 Tt is one of the crimes of .politi- cal lawmaking that the natural union of these great elements which make up the majority of our popula- tion should be practically prevented by deliberate bipartisan design. There is need now, as in 1912, that the progressive party in the state of New York should hold aloft standard to which all honest men, whatever their political faith, may repair.
 Hughes System Approved.
 The genuine and sincere direct primary system proposed by MT. Hughes gave to the popularly chosen and accredited representatives of each party the power of suggestion of can- didates, granting the same fuil ana fair opportunity to other petitioners in the enrolled membership of the party and subjecting all the decisions to the voters on primary day.
 This element of leadership is es- sential and basic in all sound primary legislation. It was deliberately per verted in most of the bipartisan pihs which have emanated from machine sources since the days of Hughes
 We accept the responsibility or leadership and assume the responsl- bility of suggesting to the citizens or New York list of candidates who are above suspicion of control by any other interest than that of the peo~ ple, men who are by character and ability erinently qualified for the po- sitions for which they are suggested.
 The issue rests with the people. They must say whether or not the slaves of machine rule in New York shall have their shackles stricken oft, just as were the shackles of tho slaves of fifty years ago.
 "To that issue we pledge oar seni. our hearts and our hopes"

riers of the mails shall be allowed an
amount equal to $50 of their monthly

Legislation of this character is inn

lbs. Kegs of nails can be divided and
sent in packages weighing fifty lbs,
or less, and as there is no limit to the
quantity of mail which can be sent in
packages weighing fifty pounds or
less, it is great deal cheaper in
many instances to send the merchan-
disc by mail than by freight into the
