PORTLAND, Ore, July PA res
olution that President Wilson be ask
ed to dismiss P. P. Claxton, United
(tates commissioner Of educatio~ Ie-
cause of sentiment derogatory to the
United States flag he was reported to
have expressed in speech two years
ago in Boston, caused a commotion
here today at the first session of the
twenty-sixth annual congress of the
Sons of the American Revolution.
The resolution which was introduced
by Christopher w. Horr of Seattle,
was greeted with Kisses, but was
finally referred to the resolutions COM
mittee without debate.
In his Boston speech Commissioner
Claxton said, according to an excerpt
read in the conventions:
"After all, the people of the world
care very little what flag they live
under. A flag means nothing. 1t is
not reality. They can live under one
combination of colors as well as under
another"

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The new
American note to Germany is on it's
way to Berlin. 1t cleared from Wash
ington over the telegraph wires dur
ing the night and today is being
flashed over the cables to London and
thence to Copenhagen, where it goes
over land wires again to the German
foreign office. 1t should reach it's des-
tination tonight or early tomorrow. It
will probably be made public by mu-
tual agreement with the Berlin for
eign office tomorrow or Saturday.
Then will follow period Of waiting
until the reply is received.
Final on Submarine Warfare.
Concerning the future conduct of
German submarines the note does not
necessarily call for an answer as it
announces the intention Of the United
States to regard any further violation
of international law resulting in the
loss of American lives as unfriendly.
On the other hand the American de-
mands for disavowal Of any inten-
ton to sink the Lusitania and re-
quest for reparation is renewed IN
the new note. Very likely these with
other points, such as the willingness of
the United States to act as an inter-
mediary between the belligerents to
adjust the rules of maritime warfare

will probably be the base for further

Violation Would Mean Action.
1t is generally agreed among Of
ficials here, however, that any loss of
American lives in the meantime would
itself raise the question Of action, ir-
respective of any formal reply from
Germany. The American note is in
the nature Of final statement on the
principles involved IN which the
United States takes the unalterable
position that the accepted rules of in
ternational law must govern the
rights of neutrals, irrespective Of the
retaliatory measures Of belligerents
against one another.
Future Course Not Disclosed.
What action will be taken by the
United States in the event of further
violation Of American rights is not
disclosed in the note, nor officially or
otherwise commented upon here, but
The general understanding prevails
that another disaster such as befell the
Lusitania would mean the immediate
assembling of congress. President
Wilson has given careful considera-
ton to the eventualities to which the
new American note may commit the
United States, but believes it places
squarely upon Germany the respon-
silility for any act that may cause
rupture.

William and Sadie Rem and James
Burns, arrested here yesterday after
noon on a charge Of stealing clothes
and revolvers from Mr.. and Mrs. Jules
Thibault of Eveleth, in whose building
the Renns had been rooming, waived

ALIEN SERVED
ON OCTOBER
GRAND JURY
Coleman Newell of Hibbing, One
of Jurors, Who Recommend
ed Courthouse Site Purchase.
LABORER APPLIED FOR
SECOND PAPERS JULY
Was Member of Special Venire;
Took Out First Papers in
1884; Here IS Years.

That Coleman Newell, Hibbing
laborer, who is an alien, served on the
October grand jury which recommend
ed the purchase of the 1tasca ware
house site at Hibbing for county
courthouse purposes, has only his
first citizen papers, was learned to-
day.
Mr.. Newell did not apply for his
second papers until last Thursday. He
made his application at the county
building here. His application shows
that he came to the United States
from Galway, Ireland, in 1880, and
that he secured his first papers in
1884.
Mr.. Newell was member of the
special venire drawn for the grand
jury, the regular panel having been
exhausted.
When panel is drawn the jurors
are asked whether any aliens have
been drawn. There was no challenge
to Mr.. Newell at the October term Of
court. He resides at 80 Center
street and has lived in Hibbing for
several years. He was born in 1862
and is single.
What action will be taken in re-
gard to Mr.. Newell or to the grand
jury's work is matter of conjecture.

LONDON, July 22.-While prayers
for victory are being said throughout
Russia, the Austrians and Germans
continued their drive at Warsaw from
the north, west and south. Meanwhile
they are reaching farther north to-
ward Riga on the Baltic, from which
their advance guard is not more than
70 miles distant. The tone of dis
patches from Petrograd indicates
plainly that the country is aware of
the graveness Of the military situa-
tion. involving not only the fate of
the Polish capital, but the integrity
of the Russian army in Poland, the
northern and southern sectors of which
might be cut in twain by a decisive de-
feat along the Lublin- -Cholm railroad.

Austro-G Germans Near Line.
Having several times been reported
within five miles Of this railroad, &C.
cording to the Austrian claims of hav-
ing pierced the Russian front, this
section of the Teutonic army should be
within rifle shot of the railway, but no
claim has been made of having seized
it yet. Northwest of Lublin, how
ever, the Teutonic forces have pushed
forward to the Bridgehead positions
south of Ivangorok and thence north
ward. Around the circle which is
Tightening on Warsaw they have made
speedy progress, though meeting with
serious opposition along the Narew
river northwest Of the capital. Else

SLAMS are falling back and employ
ing the tactics which harassed Ma

Burning Bridges.
They are not only burning all
bridges and destroying roads but are
laying waste the countryside with fire
and dynamite. They are removing
such provisions as they can and des-
troying such as they cannot take
away.
They are driving all cattle and other
livestock before them and leaving for
the invaders a ruined and desolate
waste. All of CORTLAND has been
laid waste, Windau is in flames and
the glow is visible for many miles.
Anxiety in England.
The British public is following with
keen anxiety the campaign in the east,

divisible into three principal areas.
The first is along the Narew river,
northwest of Warsaw. The second
center is on the Vistula between War
saw and 1vangorod and the third is in
the vicinity of Lublin, where the Aus
trians and Germans are fighting for
the railway.
Desperate Fighting Continues.
Desperate fighting continues be-
tween the Teutonic armies pressing
upon Warsaw, the Russian forces de-
Tending it vigorously with the issue
still in balance. Advances along
all the front are claimed in the latest

German lines in some sections, asserts
that these lines are now being held
stationary or have been hurled back
at vital points.
Russian Resistance Strong.
On the important front south Of
Lublin a serious breach would mean
the cutting Of the Lublin- Cholm rail-
road lines with the division of Russian
armies in the north. In the south the
Russian resistance seems to be
strongest. Petrograd statements
claim the Teutonic offensive has been
arrested there.
Counter Attacks Delivered.
Counter Attacks have driven the
Germans back along the line of the
River Narew to the north of Warsaw,
it is asserted. The Russian lines on
the left bank of the Vistula, to the
southeast of the city are holding, it
is declared. The fortress Of Novo
Georgeievsk seems to be giving ef-
fective help in keeping the Teutons
in check to the northwest for the time
being at least.
Advance in Baltic Progresses.
In the Baltic provinces the Ger

German outposts are barely 20 miles
from Riga, their immediate objective.
Along the Austro-1talian front
Rome claims the gain of part of the
heights commanding Gorilla and the
Isonzo bridges from the right bank
of the river. The latest reports from
Vienna declares that all attacks on
Gorilla have been checked and that
the heights the Italians had captured
have been retaken.

Mrs. Marian Craig Wentworth,
Author, Has a Solution for
Problem.
"WOmen have the power to say
whether peace or war shall pre-


whether peace or war shall pre-
vail.
"A sex strike of a million
women would make war by the
United States or in any other
county absolutely impossible.
'Women hold the gift of life in
their hands and they have the
right to refuse the gift if life is to
be sacrificed to the war god."
LOS. ANGELES, July 22.-The
most effective way to universal peace
the sex strike-was originated and
advocated here today by Mrs. Marion
Craig Wentworth, author of "War
Brides" and nationally prominent in
the feminist movement.
She arrived here today from Boston,
and in an interview expressed the
basis of her sentiments in the three
snetences which introduce this story.
Sees U. S. Saved from War.
The United States will not go to war
if women seen and avail themselves
of their opportunity to prevent it, Mrs.
Wentworth declared. She expressed
her belief that if a war crisis should
develop the women of America would
declare sex strike before the coun-
try became involved.
Advocating a united stand by the
women of the world to refuse to bear
children for the battlefield, Mrs. Went
forth declared the whole world must
abandon war.
Thinks Sex War Unnecessary.
"Women are awakening to knowl-
edge Of their full powers and rights in
this matter" she said. "While l be-
lieve a sex war will not be necessary
in this country, l think there are
enough American women sufficiently
reused against war to make such an
expedient possible. There can be no
question Of its effectuality if once in
voked.
"Woman is the key to the gates of
heaven. Why should she give life to
have it desecrated on the bloody fields
of battle? Women suffer most from
war. Women will suffer most in the
terrible aftermath in Europe for gen.
erations. 1t is woman's right to de.
paand that there be no more war;"
