~oppertunity to Escape" Not Sufficient
Protection at Sea

TVVIVS&So" - OS0s
Washington, Oct. 20:-A demand for
better provision to save the lives of
passengers and crews of American
ships destroyed by the Germans for
carrying contraband is made in the
latest note in the steamer Frye case:
In its note, the text Of which has
Just been made public, the United
States insists that "an opportunity to
escape in nfeboats" is not sufiicient
provision for safety.
In the Frye case the commander of
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, the German
ship which sunk the Frye, took the
crew aboard his own vessel. When
the Leelanaw, an American ship car
rying absolute contraband, was de-
stroyed the crew was taken aboard
the submarine and transferred to
small boats when near shore.
The United States insists that while
no complaint has been made as to
past treatment it is looking out for
the future.

Favored by Many Britons to
Succeed Asquith.
LATTER IS REPORTED ILL

Prime Minister Stricken With Intes.
final Trouble Necessitating Few
Days Of Complete Rest-carson's
Retirement Regarded as Favorable
Omen in Liberal Quarters.
London, Oct 20.-Dinferences Of
opinion continue to shake the coali-
ton cabinet and the anti-Asquith
forces are active. These would like
to make clean sweep Of the govern.
ment with the exception of Lloyd
George, whom they wish to make
prime minister.
Sir Edward Carson's disappearance
from the cabinet is regarded in Lib
eral quarters as a favorable omen,
since the doughty fisherman is the
incarnation Of what Irish Nationalists
and probably the majority of Britons
mistrust.
Premier Asquith is believed by some
to be too slow for the swift agencies
of war, but his astutenes and prestige
remain predominant in spite of his
illness. Should he be displaced by
Lloyd-George every one is asking
whom the Welsh statesman could get
for his cabinet, inasmuch as the gov
eminent as now organized embraces
every British politician of outstanding
ability and reputation.
Nation Remains Calm.
While political circles are in COM
motion the nation is calm. Recruit.
ing proceeds briskly in all parts Of
the country and thousands of men are
being vigorously prepared for the
field. Reinforcements are pouring in.
to Greece to resist the central powers
and their allies.
Premier Asquith has suddenly be.
come i'll. His state of health will re-
quire withdrawal from public activi
ties. The following bulletin was is.
