HOW ABOUT IT?

HOW ABOUT -IT?-A few weeks
ago the transatlantic liner Lusitania
left New York for England. On board
were many wealthy and prominent
Americans. Two miles of the coast
of Ireland it encountered a German
submarine and was tOrpedoed. Many
of the passengers were drowned.
The United States government inn
mediately sent note to Germany de-
handing an explanation for the de-
structiOn of American lives and
threatened to break diplomatic rela-
lions if the lives Of Americans were
not safegUarded at sea.
But how about the steamer East
land, which sank suddenly in the
Chicago river, killing several hundred
American citizens? viii the govern
fnent demand an explanation from
the officials of the steamship COM
pany and threaten them with impris-
onment if the lives of the citizens are
not safeguarded on the inland water
ways?
Here is an opportunity for the
government to show whether it does
protect the lives of it's citizens at
home or abroad, regardless of wheth-
er they are killed by a German sub
marine or through the criminal negli-

was defeated yesterday afternoon in
the Diocesan Convention OF the Pro-
testant Episcopal church in new
Synod Hall as candidate for clerical
deputy to the general convention.
This downfall was accomplished by
the Broad church party as a rebuke
for his activity as leader of the High
Church element which last month at
tempted to compel the Board of Mis-
sions TO rescind its decision to send
delegates to the Panama Congress on

His failure OF election leaves the
powerful parish OF Trinity without
representation at the General Con
vention. He is the first of its dis
tinguished line of rectors to be beat
en- as candidate for any Office with

the annals from the first General
Convention in 1885 to the present
does not reveal any action so drastic
ever having grown out of the struggle
between the High and Broad factions.
The issue is now so we'll defined in
this diocese that it is predicted that
scores of clergy who have maintained
an Indifferent attitude must declare
themselves on one side or the other.
The Rev Dr. Manning in the last
triennial convention in this city in
1913, was the chief champion of the
proposal to change the name Protest
ant Episcopal to American Catholic
Church. He is chairman of the COM
mittee on Faith and Orders, which is
reaching out in every direction to
bring Episcopalians into closer un-
ion with other faiths AS one of the
foremost advocates of unity he has
often taken part in services at the al
tars OF the Eastern church.

The Austrian submarine which over
hauled her after long, stern chase,
gave the commander a brief respite
to permit the removal of passengers,
but the indescribable panic which be
gan among the immigrants on board
as soon as the underwater craft was
sighted, was responsible for the loss
of many lives. In the mad rush for
safety, men, women and children ov-

London, Friday, Nov. 12-The Ser
bians are now facing the invaders in
the mountains which have proved a
protection to them in their previous
war, and they are expected to make
the advance of the Austro-Germans
and Bulgarians a matter of some diff
ficulty
There has been no material change
in the situation during the last
twenty four hours. The Austro-Ger-
mans claim to be advancing along the
line west OF Nish; do not report the
capture of any further positions. The
1000 prisoners they have taken are
said by the Serbs to be largely civil
ians or Albanian or Macedonian
troops. like those reported captured
previously ,These, they say, surrend-
er easily 9 1t is also declared that the

Mackensen's army, for the right wing
must he free from this menace before
it can proceed with its drive.
The news from the southern part
of the country is very conflicting. 1t
is not known that the French did not
reoccupy. but simply made a cavalry
raid into the town of Neues. destroy
ing the Bulgarian ammunition stores.
The French. however, are advancing
on the west side of the Vardar River
and at the same time are repelling
Bulgarian attacks on Krivolak and
endeavoring to form junction with
the Serbians who are holding the
Babuna Pass.
A new British division having land

the scene, a further development in
the campaign is expected, and 1t is
possible that the Gallipoli army will
become more active.

upholds Suspension of Globe For
Publishing Statement
PREMIER DEFENDS GOVERNMENT
Declares That Newspaper Disregard
ed Official Request and Re
peated Offence.

London, Nov. 11--During the
course of discussion in the House
of Commons yesterday, on the sus-
| pension of the Globe newspaper,
James Myles IIogge, member for
| East Edinburgh. declared his belief
that the statement that Lord Kitch
| ner had resigned was true and that
the seizure of the paper because OF
the publication of the statement was
not justified Premier Asquith who
Immediately replied, said that Mr..
Hogge accused him of "a DELIBERATE
| and ineXcusable falsehood," and, to
make the matter quite clear, he de
clared: earl kitchner never tender
ed his resignation either to the king
or to myself the only two persons
to whom he could have rendered it.
Earl Kitchner never breathed word
of resignation to either"
The decision to send Lord Kitchner
W LlE ANCl l8ei-t1 VIC
was taken by the cabinet on Thurs
day, November 4. Serious informa-
tion, which led the government to
take the decision, was brought to
their knowledge for the first time on
Wednesday. In the interests of pub
lie life he protested against the charg
es that the king was being directed
against the head of the government,
as these accusations were likely If be-
lieved, to do incalculable harm to the
country throughout the world. He re-
pudiated the charge that the Globe
had been singled out for special treat
ment
MIR. Hogge and William NJ. R. Pring
lie, member for Northwest Lanark-
shire however, insisted that other
papers, which were equally guilty,
had not been proceeded against. Sir
John Simon, home secretary, pointed
out that the Globe was in an entirely
different position from the other pa
pers, in that it ignored the warning
of the press bureau on Thursday
night in the form of request made
to all the papers that no reference
should be made of Earl Kitchner's
movements until further notice. The
next day the Globe. and the Globe
alone published the statement that
Earl Kitchner had resigned because
he had quarreled with his colleagues.
When denial was issued the Globe
repeated the statement, thus saying,
in effect, that the government was
lying
