ments on The Causeless War;" sub
mits an argument against military
preparation by the United States and
praises the course of President Viii
son in the International emergency.
If there is any nation without ex-
cuse for entering into a mad rivalry
with the belligerent nations in prepa-
ration for war it is the United States,
says Mr. Bryan. We are protected
on either side by thousands of miles
OF ocean and this protection is worth
more to us than any number of bat
tleships.
I'VE have an additional protection
in the fact that we have the men
with whom to form an army Of de.
tense If we are ever attacked. and ii
is known also that We would have the
money, too-more money than we
would have had If all the surplus
earnings of the people had been in
vested In armament.
I'VE not only do not need addition
al preparation, but we are fortunate
in not having 1t, since IL seems impos-
sible for nation to have what is call
ed preparedness without having along
with it disposition to use its pre-
.aredness on the slightest provoca-

London, June 1S-Sky battles on
a scale the world never dreamed of

British air fleet now comprises $500
biplanes and monoplanes and about
fifty dirigibles, equipped for bomb

To challenge Great Britain's SUI

SHOULD GUARD FOOD SUPPLY
London Times Warns Nation England
May Face Famine.

London. June 18-The Times edi.
torially calls attention to the need of
the government organizing the ma
tica's food supply in a similar manner
TO that in which it is now organizing
the supply of munitions.
An idea that Germany is faced with
starvation must be abandoned" il
says. Clearly, Germanys food sup.
ply is secured for a long period ahead
and ii behooyes England TO think of
her own supply The recent fall in
the price of wheat is only temporary
relief due TO combination of circum-
stances which can not be expected to
continue.
Some scheme of calculating our
needs and resources should be pre-.
pared in conjunction with our allies
and expert direction should be given
to the farmers and others concerned
i'm the production of food by the board
of agriculture so as to obtain the best
results and avoid needless waste"

PEACE UNSOUCHT BY
ITALY AND FRANCE

Paris, Jvne 1S.--Jane Adams, who
was president of the Women's Inter
national conference at The Hague,
said before leaving for Havre that
she had seen the English. German,
Austrian, Italian and French authori-
ties and had made the same proposal
to the premier and foreign minister of
each government.
The proposal was to the effect that
all neutral states OF the world should
spontaneously form a committee of
prominent citizens, not necessarily
government officials. This commit.
tee she would have consult with each
of the belligerent governments sepa-
rately, seeking to learn what each de-
sired for an outcome of the war. The
replies she would have compared by
the committee and communicated to
the other belligerents in the hope
that an understanding might be reach
ed among all the warning nations.
She said that her proposals were
welcomed by each government except
Italy and France. The Italian au-
thorities. she said. told her that they
would welcome the proposal had they
not just gone to war, which made
peace parleys impossible at the mo-
ment The French authorities told
her that the proposal was entirely i'm
possible, as it was too soon to con-
temnlata such an idea

Second Submarine Ready to
Sink LuSitania.
LONDON PROBE RESUMED
Evidence Given to the Effect That
Llfeboats Were in Bad Shape and
Not Obey Captains Orders.

London, June 1S.-The investiga-
tion into the sinking of the Cunard
line steamer Lusitania May z by
German submarine off the coast of
Ireland with a loss of more than L.
100 lives was resumed in London un-
der the direction of Baron Mersey.
Sir Edward Carson, the attorney
general, expressed his conviction that
a second submarine was lying in wait
on the port side of the Lusitania. Sir
Edward made this statement in reply
to an argument put forward by Baron
Mersey, who said he thought a mis-
take had been made by Seaman
O'Neill. one of the witnesses before
the court, who testified he had seen
stern of the Lusitania from the port
to the starboard side Immediately
after the liner had been hit on the
starboard side.
O'Neills testimony was corroborat-
ed by another seaman witness, who
testified he saw the wash of two tor
pedoes from the starboard side.
Boats Strapped Together.
Captain w T. Turner, who was in
command of the Lusitania at the time
it went down, was recalled to the
stand and asked why the collapsible
boats had not been freed from their
ehocks on entering the danger one
He replied he feared the boats would
slide about when the ship listed and
sweep passengers into the sea. The
captain admitted further that some
boats were strapped on the tops of
others.
When asked by Baron Mersey if the
increase in the number of small boats
on liners since the Titanic disaster
was of any advantage Captain Turner
answered he did not think so.
Chief Steward Jones declared he
had not seen any lifebelts on the up
per decks OF the Lusitania after the
liner had left New York.
Chief Carpenter Robertson said the
condition of the lifeboats was good
when the Lusitania left New York.
No Lifebelts Available.
IT was also testified that no life
belts were available on deck during
the voyage. Bertram Jenkins of New
York, a saloon passenger, said he had
remarked several times to other pas
sengers on the absence of lifebelts.
Another passenger said he helped
to launch a lifeboat full of women
and children unassisted by the crew,
but the boat leaked so much that 1t
sank a few minutes after touching
the water. Baron Mersey asked
whether the boat was damaged in be-
ing lowered, as it was on the port
side The witness replied that If the
boat bumped against the hull as 1t
was going down he was unaware of 1t.
ID. A. Thomas, known as the Brit
ish coal king" who was on the Lusi-
tania, was of the opinion that some
members of the crew did not obey
the captains orders to attend first to
the rescue of women and children,
but attempted to save themselves
first
