President Wilso had not forwarded

While AmbassaT Gerard reported
the imperial chanClor as having said

from the allies" thpresident does uot
construe the inforal suggestion as
requiring the Unit States to under

you refer TO a recent bulletin issued by

May 1 call your attention to the fact
that Pensacola is nearer to the Birn-

or New Orleans, and has a consider
ably lower freight rate than the lat

that of either Mobile or New Orleans,

and safer than that from either Of

On account of these conditions, YES
sells which take cargo at Mobile and

SPEAKS
ON BEGINNING OF WAR

London, Sept 19.-ChanceIIor of the
EXchequer Lloyd George delivered an
address in London today on the be-
ginning of the war.
Referring to the accusation that
Great Britain had used the treaty pro-
viding for Belgian neutrality as a
cunning cloak to veil her jealousy Of
a superior civilization, the chancellor
said:
Our answer was the action we took
in 1870. In that case Prince Bismarck
respected Prussia's treaty obligations,
but it was to the interest Of Prussia 10
break her treaty and she did it. TO
Prussia a treaty is just a scrap OF
paper.
This doctrine of a scrap of paper
goes to the root of all pubic law. We
are hghting against barbarism. and
there is only one way Of putting it
right II there are nations who say
they will respect treaties only when it
is TO their interest to do so. we must
make it 10 their interest to do so in
the future.
Referring 10 the German excuses,
Mr.. Lloyd George remarked:
a great nation ought to be ashamed
of behaving like fraudulent bankrupt
trying to escape his obligations"
Referring to the case Of Servia, the
chancellor Of the exchequer said that
Emperor Nicholas had given Austria
the only answer that became a man
when ne said. Il will tear your ram
shackle empire limb from limb"
And he is doing it," added the
speaker.
Prussia" said Mr.. Lloyd George, 'fs
the road hog Of Europe. Men, women
and children and nations are ordered
out of the way. Even Great Britain
is ordered out Of the way. If the old
British spirit is still left in British
health the bully will be torn from his
seat. They thought we could not beat
them. II will not be easy. 1t will he
a long job. 1t will - terrible But in
the end we shall march through terror
to Tiumph,"

Steam Schooner

II. Leggett were picked up about 20
mouth, according to a wireless message
received here today. The message
stated that two steamers were stand
ing by the place where the schooner
went down last night. The only sign
of the vessel was bits of wreckage.
First news of the sinking of the Leg
gett was received at the Telegraph Hill
Wireless station last night from a
foreign cruiser which did not give her
name. The wireless message stated
that the Leggett sank yesterday after
noon, sixty miles south OF the Co
Iumbia river The warship reported
that the S. o. S. call was received at
3:15 D. m. No S. o. s. call was picked
up by any of the land stations.
The wireless came from the San
Francisco and Portland Steamship
Company's steamer Beaver. One Of
the two vessels left standing by the
scene Of the wreck is supposed to be
a cruiser.
Reports last night said the Leggett
sank about sixty miles south of the
Columbia. This conflicts with the
Beavers message that two survivors
had been picked up about twenty miles
south of the Columbia.
The Leggett carried thirty seven
passengers and a crew of twenty-five.
She sailed from Portland September
IL for Hoquiam, Washn., to load Ium-
ber for California. She left Hoquiam
last Thursday morning.
