The speech yesterday of Cole l.. Blease,

part Of some who did not have an oppor-

rule sentiment at the preceding session.
Gov Walsh said that he objected to
the statement Of Bloase that ''when mobs
are no longer possible liberty will be
dead
in my judgment" said the Massachu-
setts executive, there can be no liberty
without obedience TO law"
Gov. Stuart of Virginia said that Nir-
ginia was a conservative state and that

KIPLING PRAISES
THE FRENCH SPIRIT
After Returning from Fighting Front
Author Pays Tribute to Men, Wom-

LONDON, Aug. 27.- Rudyard Kip
ling, who has just returned from the
western fighting front, in the Daily Tel
egraph this morning, after paying tri-
butte to the glorious bravery Of the
French women, who, he says, virtually
live the war, declares:
France is country where there is
not one young or middle aged man who
IS not at the post of duty assigned by
the military authorities. -
The trenches, he says, are built and
drained as if France realized the war
was going to continue for five wears.
and the army is made uu of hard bit
ten fighting men, full of health and Vi
tality, whom he saw on parade. But il
is of the ''Soixantc Quinze' he rhap-
sodizes, declaring its work beautiful
and its breech mechanism a dream OF
simplicity and efficiency.
How would you like to Craze a COW
under shell freq he asks, after saying
1.-THE men, women and children of France
arc wonderful.
| He closes with a tribute to the fervo
and terrific industry of all France an,
by insisting that nothing England cal
do, however, will more than keep he
abreast OF such an ally.

ENGLISH MONEY
HITS LOW MARK
Equivalent in United States Currency
Worth Less Than at Any Time
Since 1917.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The English
pound sterling was worth less in Amer
lean money today than at any other
time since the British mint began to
coin it in 1917 when George " was
prince regent of England. In thor
oughly demoralizcd foreign exchange
market it's value dropped to $4.63M
nearly five per cent or 23A cents be-
low normal. When yesterday s bust
ness ended there was every Indication
that it would 60 still lower tomor-
row.
The previous low record had been
$4G4 and was reached last week.
German money alone stemmed the
torrent of downward rates and regis
tered an increased value, reichmarks 60
ing to SIS, the highest point touched
since exchange values started down
more than two weeks ago. The francs
of France and the ires of Italy follow
ed the course blazed by sterling and
headed toward bottom figures. Francs
lost 101a cents during the fve-hour day
and lires, 5l3 cents. When the market
closed an American dollar was worth
$5.9S1a francs or 6.471a lires.
Although the situation was regarded
as acute at the days close New York
bankers were not fearful of the future.
What is needed here, they said. to rec
tify rates is the establishment of a
big foreign credit. This would come
shortly, they thought inasmuch as a
deputation of British bankers and
treasury department representatives
would soon sail for this country tc
work out plan of relief.
The strength of German money was
attributed largely to the easing of ten
sion in diplomatic relations between
that country and the United States
1t was even reported that Germany
might seek to borrow money in this
market later on.

DUE FARMERS FOR
MILK SHIPMENTS
Action Is Against New England Cas-
ualty Co. on Bonds Of Boston Con.
densed Milk Co.-Claim that Condi-
tions Were Violated.

Attorney General Herbert G. Barber
of Brattleboro, in the name of Seere-
tary of State Guy w. Bailey and State
Treasurer Walter T. Scott, commission
ers of foreign creamery associations,
brought suit yesterday for $4,000
against the New England Casualty com
pany of Boston The defendant com
pany was security for the Boston Con
densed Milk company, which has gone
into bankruptcy.
The suit is brought in behalf of Yer
mont farmers who were patrons of the
Boston Condensed Milk company and
who have filed with the Vermont com
missioners claims aggregating many
thousands of dollars for shipments of
milk to the Boston concern.
The Casualty company has made an
offer of settlement for claims up TO
February, 1914, when the milk com
pany's license was revoked The at
torney general claims that the defend
ant is liable for obligations to the
farmers which accrued both before and
after the license was revoked.

sued bond for $25, 900 as. surety fol

RUSSIANS FIGHT
FOR EXISTENCE
They Are on Soil OF "White Russia, Which for the
First Time in This War, is Feeling Effects of
Invasion-Doubt That Turko-BuIgarian Agree
ment Has Been Signed

LONDON, August 27.-Thc Austro.
German invaders have not only pressed
their opponents into old Russia beyond
the political borders of ancient Poland,
but have penetrated well beyond the dis
trict of Russia proper, inhabited by the
Poles
This enormous advance has now reached
the stage in which the troops of Emperor
Nicholas are fighting for existence on the
soil of White Russia, which for the first
time during this war is feeling the effect
OF invasion.
The main object of the German attack
around Brcst Litovsb for number of days
has been the railroad running eastward
from the fortress toward Moscow.
This line. with branch running in a
southeasterly direction, provided means
for the Russian evacuation of the fortress
The Austro-German advance against
this railroad has been slow and it is be
lieyed here that the evacuation was accom-
plishcd successfully before the fortress
surrendered.
Serbias reply to the note of the quad
ruple entente which has not been made
public, although reported to have been de
livcrcd, evidently is awaited by other
Balkan states before they take further
action.
Doubts are now being cast on the accu
racy of the report, which was accepted
yesterday, that a Turko-Bulgaran agree
meut had been signed.

WILL GIVE FULL
SATISFACTION
Ambassador Bernstorf Notifies Sec Lansing of the
German Governments Desire in the Arabic Case
to Make Fullest Reparation if Arabic Was
Torpedoed Without Warning

WASHINGTON, August 81. - Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, acting on instructions from Ber-
lin, notified Secretary Lansing that
:" full satisfaction" would be given to
the United States for the sinking OF
the Arabic
The ambassador explained that Ger
many would make more than a mere
disavowal if it is found that the Ara
bic was sunk without warning.
Count Won Bernstorff called at the
state department early today and con-
ferred with Secretary Lansing nearly
half an hour.
1t has been suggested that perhaps
Germany was ready also to make repair
alton for the American loss of the Lusi-
tania, but that subject did not come
up at today's conference.
The disposition of the German en-
bassy is to take up one step at time
The ambassador did not make public
the extent of the instructions from
Berlin on which he acted, but it was
understood they conceded entirely with
the statement of the German chancellor
in the Associated Press dispatches
from Berlin yesterday expressing the
willingness of the German government
to make the fullest reparation if it is
shown finally that the Arabic was tor
! pedoed without warning.
So far the German admiralty has re-
ceived no report from its submarines
which were operating in the waters
where the Arabic was sunk
I The German ambassador frankly
stated after his interview with Mr
Lansing that his instructions embody
the declaration by the Berlin govern
ment that it would give fun satisfac
tion to the American government, ant
that, he declared, meant much NOR,
. than q disavowal
Of course, he said, the giving of sat
isfaction would depend upon the cir
: cumstances of the attack on the Arabic
! The German government did not know
yet, said he, whether the Arabic wa
sunk by a German submarine and with
| out warning, but II investigation prove
that to have been the case German.
: will make full reparation
The ambassador said he believed tn
l negotiations over the Arabic would b
followed by negotiations over the Lusi
tania, in view of the official statemen
in Berlin that a submarine policy sat
isfactory to the United States woul
be announced
1t is known that Ambassador Ger
ard IS despatch agreed with Count Bern
: storff S advices that submarine com
manders have been instructed to attac
S no more peaceful merchant ships with
out warning.

25, 900 Miners Ready to Join
New Outbreak in the
South Wales Fields
DISSATISFIED WITH
RECENT AWARD
President of Board Of Trade Charged
with Going Behind Agreement Made
by David Lloyd George - Demand
That Promises Be Made Good

LONDON, August 27.-Reports from
the South Wales coal field this after
noon state that $4,000 miners already
have joined the new strike. The re
currence of labor troubles is due to
growing dissatisfaction with the award
of Walter Runciman, president of the
board of trade, who acted as arbitrator
in the recent strike.
The situation was strained further
when the colliers learned that Mr..
Runciman had declined to see a deputa-
tion representing them.
The miners charged Mr.. Runciman with
going behind the agreement made by
David Lloyd George and demanded that
Mr.. Lloyd George make good his prom
ises to them.
