KRUPP DISPUTE DISCUSSED
German Workmen Still Appear Dissat
isfied and Many Have Left Gun
Works.

Geneva, Switzerland July q, via
Paris.-An important meeting was held
at Essen, according to dispatch re.
ceiyed at Basel, between the admins
tration Of the Krupp gun works and
the representatives of the workmen,
in order to settle the dispute which
has arisen over the demands of the
men for an increase in wages.
Directly and indirectly about ,00O
men are involved. Minor cases in
which machinery has been destroyed
has been reported. The military au.
thorities before the meeting, the Basel
advices say, warned both sides that
unless an immediate arrangement was
reached, drastic measures would be
employed.
The Krupp officials are understood
to have granted a portion Of the de.
mands of the employees, which has
brought about a temporary peace, but
the workmen still appear to be dissatis.
fed and many have left the works. A
strike would greatly affect the supply
of munitions and for this reason the
military has adopted vigorous precau
tons.

CONDEMNS EARLY MARRIAGES
c. l., RedfieId Tells Purity Congress
that Marrying Young Often Leads
to immortality.

San Francisco, July 21.-COntrary to
popular beliefs that early marriages
are particularly conducive to morality,
G.. L. Redfield Of Chicago, addressing
the International Purity Congress here
declared that they were more condu-
Give to immortality.
The biographies of the great men of
the world, particularly the moral and
religious reformers, furnished evil
dence, he said, that great men were
the sons of old parents who had done
much work CONTIGUOUS, who was born
when his father was II years OF age;
Buddha, whose father was 45 when he
was born; Moses, whose three genera
tions of ancestors spanned 1876 years,
and King David, who was the son of
Jesse's old age, and who became the
father Of Solomon when 80 years old,
were some instances he cited.
In contrast, in this age, in this coun-
try, he pointed to the widespread prac-
tice Of marrying young-so young that
in many states bridegrooms in knick-
erbocllers and brides in short dresses
were even recognized by law, and said:
81 say to you, positively. that these
child marriages are laying the founda-
lions for new sources of vice and
crime. A campaign Of education on the
question of early marriages is urgent
Iy needed"

NOTE TO GERMANY PREPARED
DRAFT is COMPLETED BY WILL
SON AND LANSING.
May be Dispatched to Berlin This
Week-To Express Conclusions
of United States.

Washington, July 21-President Will
son and Secretary Lansing prepared
the draft of note on submarine war
fare to be submitted to the cabinet
at once and to be sent to Germany
probably before the end OF the present
week.
Beyond the fact that the position
already taken by the United States in
it's previous notes will be reiterated no
information was forthcoming at either
the White House Or state department
concerning the probable contents of the
new note.
The President cautioned those with
whom he councilled to refrain from
discussing the note in advance of it's
dispatch to Germany and public Off
Gals particularly requested the cor
respondents to avoid speculatiOns in
detail at this time because the char
acter of the document had not been
finally determined.
Note Will be Brief.
The note, it is understood, will be
comparatively brief, expressing the
conclusions Of this government as a
result of Germany's failure to give the
assurances asked for in previous notes,
namely, that the lives Of Americans
travelling on the high seas bound on
lawful errands aboard unresisting and
rEarmed merchantmen be not endan-
gered.
AS yet the case of the British liner
Orduna, attacked by German subma-
rine, has not been brought officially to
the attention of the state department.
Secretary Lansing said he had expect
ed word from some of the American
u ssengers aboard, but if this failed
to arrive in another day Or two he
would request one of the departments
of the government to institute an in
vestigation to obtain accurate informa-
ton concerning the incident.

LEO FRANK HAS A
FIGHTING CHANCE
FLOW OF BLOOD FROM WOUND IN
THROAT STOPPED BY
PHYSICIANS.
STRUCK BY FELLOW CONVICT
Blow Dealt as Alleged Slayer of Girl
Slept in Bunk at Night-As-
sauit Planned Alone,
Says Prisoner.

AIilledgeville. Ca, July 20.-I.eo M.
Frank lies in the Georgia state pFis-
on hospital with what attendants say
is a fighting chance for recovery.
Physicians have succeeded III stopping
the flow of blood from jagged wound
in his throat made with butcher
knife in the hands of William Green,
term for murder. The blow was struck
as Frank silent in his bunk in a dormi-
tory late at night.
An investigation of the attack prob
ably will be conducted by the Georgia
prison commission, the same body that
refused to commend that Franks
death sentence for the murder of
Mary Phagan be committed to life i'm
prisonment.
No Official Action Taken.
Governor Harris said that he had
taken no official action in connection
with the attack upon Leo NJ. Frank at
the state prison farm at Milledgeville.
Nothing has been done in the mat
tice OF anything out of the ordinary
at the prison" said the governor. II
have no doubt, though, that the author
tiles will take such action as the situa-
ton demands. l have tried to get
into touch with members of the prison
commission. but so far have failed to
reach any of them"
Attack Planned Alone.
Green said when taken from solitary
confinement long enough to be ques-
toned, that he planned the attack
alone and that no one knew what he
intended TO do He was not cOmmuni-
cative and gave as his only excuse
that he thought it should be done"
Re said, however, he regretted his act.
Frank was quartered at night in Il
dormitory with about 100 other priS-
oners and occupied a bunk about 40
feet from one Of the two doors to the
large room Green's bunk was fourth
from his. No prisoner is allowed to
leave his place without permission
from one of the two guards stationed
at the dormitory at night. Shortly
after II o'clock Green called out for
permission to get up and it was
granted.
He started down the line of hunks
toward the one occupied by Frank. AS
he reached it he quickly grabbed
Frank by the hair and delivered one
blow with the knife he had concealed.
A guard rushed to the bunk and pre-
vented Green from striking again.

But France is amply prepared for

ital Military men and strategic writers
here are not worrying over the kaiser's
plans.
Says: "Joffre Will Be There"
Let the Germans start" said high
official. 'Joffre will be there, and when
they drop their guard he'll send in the
knockout punch"
Because of it's close connection with
future developments on the Franco
Flanders front the great battle being
waged at Warsaw holds Paris tense
with excitement. Not since the Ger
mans attempted to reach Paris last
summer have the street crowds fol-
lowed the bulletins so closely. The

mics with their pins aud flags
Won Hndenburg in Favor.
From Swiss sources it is learned
here that General Won Hindenburg, far
from being in disgrace" is really in
high favor with the German emperor.
Before the Warsaw campaign was
started he held two important confer
ences with the kaiser. 1t is reported
here that he was told If he could
squeeze the Russians out Of Warsaw
he would be given supreme command
of the German forces in the west for
the great drive on Calais and Paris,
while other commanders were assigned
to the task of sweeping the French
out of Alsace.
Would Bring Allies to Terms.
The kaiser, according to Swiss re.
ports, is said to have declared that
even the defeat of a new dash on Paris
would bring the Allies to terms. He
argued that the French must with
draw their forces from Alsace to meet
the new German offensive and that
the Allies thereby would lose their last
hold on German soil and be willing
to make peace.
Austria, the kaiser is understood to
believe, can take take of Italy without
German assistance.
Paris Protected.
General Joffre has not been asleep
while Germany was mapping her cam
paign to end the war. Paris is pro
tected by ring after ring of new de-
lenses The same is true Of Calais
and other coast towns. The French
commander is determined to continue
playing his own game, too. Strategists
here point out that Joffre really has
forced Germany to play his game since
Charleroi and the victory of the Marine
early in the war. He stopped the Ger
man drive toward the French coast by
refusing to play the German game. At
present he is less occupied in attempt
ing to drive the Germans back with
great sacrifices than in conserving his
men for a great smashing blow the
moment the enemy drops his guard.
