 advisory board, which MT. Edison is to

 the advisory board until he returned to

 My intention Is to have all members

 have devoted their lives to science and
 to use their genius and skill for the
 benefit of the country My reason for com ing here to confer with Mir. Edison is to get his suggestions for developing the scope of the work.
 After we get the board and begin to get results we shall be in a state of de- fense such as no other country ever has known.

 This position being vital to the safety of life a further attack was organized, and brigade of the Royal Naval division, supported by French artillery, was sent forward, and with the support of 75's retook the trenches.
 Ir the meantime the French had pushed their extreme right down to the mouth of the River Kereves Derc, where it runs into the sea. This position was main tained without difficulty.
 During the night of the 1914, as on the previous night, the enemy center attacked, but without success.
 Thus in thees successful operations the whole of the original objective of the at tack was attained, except on one small portion of about 300 yards, which still re- mains in the hands of the Turks.
 -Four hundred and twenty-two prison CTS were captured, of whom 200 were taken by the French In the first attack"

which they had employed. at homo dur ing the last few years.
 The Marquis of Crewe said that on the qustion of contraband there could be no magic in the mere declaration of any commodity as contraband so long as the government pursued it's present system of examining all goods. He did not think anyone would suppose that under international law or the most elementary rules of fair play it was possible to institute blockade of neu- tral countries with whom England had no quarrel.
 Adopt Naval Policy
 Therefore the government had adopted a policy, which admittedly was novel, but which was rendered neces- sary by the changed conditions of mari time warfare. The desire was to ad- init the export to nedtral countries of goods representing the needs of these countries. and absolutely no more.
 "In the United States" he said. "the placing of cotton on the contrabapd list would cause no small amount of alarm. and the government in convinced that so far as the entrance of cotton int6 Germany is concerned we should gain no benefit. At present we stand bettsr instructed in public opinion in the Uni ted States than our enemies and, there fore, unless 1t is clear that a change of this kind Is absolutely necessary, the government is adverse to taking acticn which would be regarded by a particu- lar, interest in the southern states of America as being unfriendly
 T certainly am not going to say that if the military considerations were found to be paramount we might not have to face corresponding disadvant ages, and we should be unwise to bind ourselves strictly:

ANOTHER GERMAN
 SPY IS EXECUTED
Rosenthal Charged With Frying Into English
 Naval Affairs

London, July 15.-(s:so D. m)-Another German spy has been put to death in England. after conviction by courtmartial. He was Robert Rosenthai. arrested in London early in June. who confessed. it IS alleged, that he had been sent to Eng land by the German admiralty to ob- tain information concerning naval mat ters.
 The official announcement of the ex- ecution of the courtmartial given out here tonight says:
 Robert Rosenthal who on the sth of July was tried by a general courtmartial on charges of espionage was found guilty and sentenced to death The sentence was duly confirmed and was carried out this morning."
 Rosenthal, when arrested in London in June, as he was about to leave Eng land after a short stay, had a passport issued at the American embassy in Ser lin. He admitted, however, that he was not an American citizen. Information gathered by the American embassy in London indicated that Rosenthal, accom- panied by several friends. one of them an American, went to the embassy in Berlin and swore falsely that he was an American and received a temporary passport.
 Ambassador Page ,at London, report ing the case to the state department at Washington, said stories were current in London that Rosenthal had charged that Captain Won Prieger of the Ger man admiralty office had a complete equipment for issuing fraudulent pass ports.
 Baron Cheyiesmore presided over the courtmartial which convicted Rosenthal. The prisoner was defended by Walter Frampton. The courtmartial was held behind closed doors

U. s. STANDS FIRM ON RIGHT TO SHIP
 AMMUNITION TO
 NATIONS AT WAR
tContipu.d from Page one,

zeiger, '1earns from this note and the notes from Berlin that the statesmen of the two empires have resolved to assume all further consequences from this stand point The accord between the pronun- ciamentos will show Washington that the governments of both imperial powers are bitterly in earnest for the good cause, and President Wilson, therefore, cannot refuse to examine again the entire ques- ton in the friendly spirit made evident in Count Won Burian's note.'
 Berlin in Earnest
 The vossische Zeitung points. out that while Austria Hungary has been less di- rectly affected by the American export of ammunitions. she now is feeling it's full effects on the Russian front The paper expresses the belief that Austria 8 argument has struck a new and proper note in the discussion, namely, that the United States is legally entitled, If 1t wishes to do so to prohibit those exports without incurring reproach for illegality or unneutrality.
 The newspaper adds that the note, whose author it says evidently is well informed on the American constitution. indicated a correct mode of action through special legislation-legislatio which in America can only originate through congressional initiative.
 The IageDlatt says IL DeueVeS the puT- pose of the note is to dispel the illusion that Austria Hungary is not affected by the shipments of war supplies from the United States, or does not share fully the German ideas of the American policy. It adds that the note is worthy in form and straight to the point and that it strikes the tone best adapted to transat- lantic forms of diplomacy.
 "The proper way" says the Tageblatt, ss;~ to ha r1a r.io oo n fn ho lov guage to which they are accustomed, sim ply clear and without circumlocution what one wants. No attempt should be made. no matter how clearly designed, to infiu- ence their position in advance but 1t should be left to them to take their own steps on the subject matter of the com munication. This is the quickest way to an agreement.
 The Tagliche Rundschau, in rather abusive article, praises the clearness and frankness of the note, which it says brings the diplomatic dispute back to a

LOBBY
 ON VERGE OF ROUT

Montgomery, sJuly 15.-(Special.) ) With signs which argue their schemes sadly beaten, the members of the pro- hibition lobby scattered tonight.
 During the week the governing body which formerly enjoyed undisputed reign encountered several rebuffs and as a result scarcely enjoyed itself, 1t is said.
 It is indicated stronger than ever that the legislature Is determined to act for the state rather than for the lobby and that the plans of the lobby to beat the governors bond issue amendment and deprive him of his ap- pointive power are destined for sad defeat
