Sir Edward Grey Reaffirms Asquith
on Peace
Reaffirmation OF Premier Asquith' s
historic pledge regarding the entente
allies terms of peace delivered at the
lord mayors banquet, November .,
1914. was made yesterday by Sir Ed
ward Grey, British foreign secretary,
in a written answer to question put
by Sir Arthur Markham. After stat
ing that Great Britain's position in
the war is fixed by her alliances with
Japan, France and Russia, the foreign
secretary proceeds: I'm our view the
conditions of peace must fulfil those
laid down the prime minister on No
vember 8, 1914. 1t is very desirable
that it should be understood once and
for all that this is the determination
of the government, collectively and in
dividually and OF the nation"
AT the lord mayors banquet, No
vember 9, 1914. Premier Asquith in
outlining the war situation, said {:
This is going to be a long war, but
there is nothing in long struggle to
depress us, or in what has happened.
Our enemy has tried three detectives
Paris, Warsaw and Calais-and has
been baffied in all. That is not en-

more than she has sacrificed; until
France is adequately secured against
menace; until the rights of the small

on an unassailable foundation, and
until the military domination of Prus-
STA is finally destroyed"

CREATE MERCHANT MARINE
Subject Discussed by Academy Of
Political Science


Assertions that in the event of fu-
ture foreign war expectation from the
United States would virtually cease
and that only superior English and
French navies enable expectation to
continue in spite of the present Eur
opean conflict, were made at the
meeting OF the academy Of political
science in New York Friday night as
arguments for the upbuilding of the
American merchant marine. Senat-
ors Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida,
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts, and
Robert L. Owen CT Oklahoma were
the speakers.
Senator Weeks argued for large
merchant marine. Pointing out that
this country now pays 10 foreign own
ers of ships $3O0o00,000 annually to
transport American products abroad,
he asserted the creation OF merch-
ant marine by subsidies would in
crease industry in this country and
give employment to probably 100000
workmen. In the event OF great
foreign war, he said, an ample mer-
chant marine would be invaluable be-
caus it would enable America to con
tinue exporting regardless of the war,
whereas now. IL it were not for the
superior British and French navies,
American expectation would be stop
ped.
1--WE need merchant marine for
mercantile and naval purposes said
Speaker Weeks. I'VE would repeal
any legislation like portions of the
seamen's bill, which initiate against
this development We should follow
the practice OF all other nations,
which has resulted in the develop
ment OF shipping by giving sufficient
aid to overcome the difference in
costs which stand as handicap
against our shipping. Such aid
should only apply in cases where the
operation cannot be conducted profit
ably and only continue as long as that
condition prevails, such aid being
based on the service performed eth
er in carrying mails or furnishing
ships for auxiliary purposes

IRELAND AND GERMANY HAVE
REGULAR COURTROOM WAR
The Germans and Irish are not at
war in Europe, but they were at war
in the court of domestic relations yes
terday. in the case of EngeIbert Ha-
macher, nationality apparent, and his
wife Lena, Irish.
EngeIbert is 60 and was married
to Lena three years ago. Lena had
a family and Engelbert declares that
"WeeI-ie 1(WiIlie), the son, caused
the trouble because Lena cooked
"Weel-lie's meals, but refused to cook
anything for Engelbert, and in high
dudgeon EngeIbert declared war by
moving his bed to the garnet.
Thereupon he declares ''Weel-lie"
called him naughty names and order
ed him out of the house, and Lena
backed ''Weel-lie," and so he depart
ed on the very day that he had given
the UngratefUl Lena a S. bill.
EngeIbert was very imposing fig
ure as he stood in the courtroom.
His bass voice rumbled, his deep blue
eyes flashed and a sense of Irish in
justice caused him to tremble.
Lena contented herself with tell
ing how much she stood in mortal
terror of the German and how stingJ
he was and how unkind he was to
t''Weel-ne" and she wouldn't live
with him anymore, but she thought
he should be made'to support her, and
she begged Engelbert to tell the
truth and not such dreadful lies, and
they engaged in a battle with the
courtroom as the battlefield, and it
ended by Engelbert being ordered to
pay Lena S. a week.
Ireland was victorious.

COLORED BOYS START
NEAR RIOT ON MARKET'ST.

A near-riot was caused at Ninth and
Market streets last night by two small
colored boys.
The boys attracted a crowd of people
by dancing in the street and then pass
ing their hats around for pennies or
whatever the spectators wanted TO give
them. Their dancing did not seem to
prove exciting enough for the spectators,
30 the boys agreed to fight. Someone
then appeared who was not aware Of
the fact that the boys were fighting for
fun, and he attempted 10 part them.
This incensed the spectators, and the
would-be peacemaker was nearly
mobbed The police appeared in time to
avert a general fight.
The same two boys, the officers say,
have been causing them much trouble re-
Gently. They cause crowds to collect by
their dancing and bigger crowds to
