Consistent Diplomacy Seen in Years
Review.

| The advantages of a straightforward
and consistent diplomatic policy stand
out distinctly in the American position
toward British interference with neutral
commerce.
The department of state year ago
Aug. 6, 1914 requested Great Britain
to govern its maritime warfare by the
rules of the declaration of London. The
British government expressed willing
ness "to adopt generally the rules of
the declaration" Unwilling to accept
compromise or mixed basis for deter
mining its rights and duties, the United
States, in a note by Mr.. Lansing, as
serted that "This government will in
sist that the rights and duties of the
United States and its citizens in the
present war be defined by the existing
rules of international law and the treat
les of the United States"
A careful reading of the text of the
three British notes to the United States
which have just been published should
confirm the American government in the
position it then assumed. No relevancy
attaches to the appeal to the American
people to be tolerant and generous" be-
cause the Teutonic allies have acted in
excess of the law. As a neutral, the
United States has rights which it must
maintain without tolerance or generos-
ity" toward either belligerent. Happily
the United States has thus far main
tanned this position. 1t may be that
the Teutonic enemy has, as the British
note says, committed atrocities in Bel
gium, poisoned wells in southwest Africa,
used poisonous gases in Flanders, or even
sunk the Lusitania. Such acts do not,
however, give the British new rights
over American commerce. The fat of
Great Britain or any other state cam
not modify international rights or obliga-
lions.
The American government can do no
better than to continue to follow the
,lear-cut policy OF neutrality entered
upon year ago and reaffirmed in the
'caveat" of July IA, 1915, that "The
United States will insist upon their
lights under the principles and rules of
law, as hitherto estab-
ished, governing neutral trade in time
f war, without limitation or impairment
" orders in council or other municipal
egislation by the British government,
nd win not recognize the validity OF
rize court proceedings taken under re-
traints imposed by British municipal

an citizens under international law

Australians at Dardanelles
Discard Their
Clothes
SWIM FOLLOWS
THE BATTLE
Troops Rush from Trenches
to Revel in the
Sea

London, Aug. Writing in the Daily
Chronicle from the Dardanelles, Il. Ash
mead Bartlett describes the campaign
methods of the colonial soldiers on the
Gallipoli peninsula. He says;
"A popularity of the colonial soldier
which distinguishes him in a marked de,
gree from our own men is his dislike OF
clothes. ] suppose that since the der.
wishes made their last charge at Omdur-
man no such naked army has ever been
seen in the field. The British Tommy
likes to move and work and fight with
the majority of his worldly goods hang
| ing around him. No matter what the
state of the temperature the men in our
front trenches sit with their packs on,
sweating in the broiling sun, and will
dig trenches without removing a gar
ment; but to find the Australian now
wearing anything except pair of
shorts is extremely rare, whether he be
in the trenches, in rest camp or on
fatigue
"0ne by one they have thrown aside
their various articles of clothing. First
coats went, then shirts, then under
clothes. Now very large number have
chucked aside their boots and puttees,
and only lingering feeling of decency
still kept alive by memories of the mixed
bathing season at Sydney preserves the
shorts, which, starting few months
ago as full.length trousers, have now ar
rived halfway up the thigh. In this
primitive costume, the Australians and
New Zealanders live and work and fight
Their huge frames and gaunt limbs are
now burned by the sun to a dull brick
red.
Someone remarked very truly the
other day that this campaign at the

not suppose any other factor has counted
so much in keeping the troops healthy
and clean and in restoring their spirits
after days and nights in the stuify, dir
ty, smelly trenches. Especially do the
Australians and New Zealanders love
their periodical dips. To them, the sea |
and a sun bath are as the breath OF |
life. From earliest childhood they have |
been accustomed to live in the water
The bathing at Sydney, where as many |

The large increase in the stock of GOLD
| in the United States represents tht
losses of the precious metal to this eoun.
try by the principal nations of Europe
on account of the vast balance of trade
in our favor.
The supply of gold in the world is said
by experts to be the greatest to-day in
the worlds history. The production in
the first half of the last century was at
the rate of $l5,749000 year. Then
came the discovery Of gold in California,
and its production jumped to an average
in the next 90 years of Sl24,s92,000 a
year.
The United States is accommodating
gold now at the rate of about $4,000, 900
each month, based ON the returns for
July.
The gold supply of the United States
is distributed as follows:
Treasury assets in cash or bullion,
26,076,s2l.
Held by federal reserve banks and re-
serve agents, S6,629,002.
In circulation, $596,56l ,647.
The balance in coin or bullion in the

and against 1896 in August, 1914, and
1862 on Jan. /, 1879.

IN UNIFORM, GETS DEGREE.
Alpine Chasseur First To Be Honored
By University of Paris.

Paris, Aug. For the first time in
its history, the old University of Paris,
the Sorbonns, has just conferred the de-
gree of bachelor of sciences upon an
Alpine Chasseur in campaign uniform,
on crutehes and with one eye only free
from head bandages.
The soldier candidate was George
Habert, scarcely more than gamin of
Paris, who interrupted his studies to
enlist at the age of seventeen. With
the 18th battalion of Alpine Chasseurs
he participated in the assaults upon
Hartmannswelerkopf and helped carry
the German trenches at the point OF the
bayonet. Grievously wounded in the
head, he fell into German trench and
was a captive for a quarter-of -an-hour;
his comrades, determined not TO leave
him in the enemy's hands, won the
trench by supreme effort.
Trepanning saved Habert, who went
back to his books during his GONZALES
cent leave and passed his examination
brilliantly.
Commencement exercises and prize
distributions everywhere in France We're
the occasions OF patriotic manifesto
tloHs. AT the EcOis AlsdcIHeS bHe ceTe-
mony was presided over by General
Malleterre, who lost his leg in the Ar
gonne during the battle OF the Marns.
Among the successful candidates for
the baccalaureate at the University of
Nancy was Marcel Herrette, sergeant
in the French infantry at IL years of
age. Wounded at the Eparges, he had
rejoined his regiment and after grad
uating, two days before his leave ex-
pired and was killed while leading a |
charge the first day.
The youngest bachelor of the year is,
no doubt, Leonce de Caselnau, the
youngest son of General Curieres de
Castelnau. He graduates at Toulouse
university at the age of Is by special
being a year under the
prescribed age.
In many of the lyceums and colleges
the roll OF honor, comprising the names
of all former students that have been
killed or wounded or having distin-
guished themselves, was read. Perhaps
the record belongs to the Janson de
Sally lyceum, with 100 dead, 1870 pris-
oners, $40 wounded, 2 crosses and %
chevaliers of the legion of honor.

The values of the ore extracted
from the Gilpin-Oricn hold up we'll.
rs will be seen by the following re-
turns from ore taken out during the
month of April. This ore was set
tied for on the 4th of May. There
were two lots CT the first-class. one

yer and 2.S0To dry copper the 9TH
er ran $50 ozs. geld, 7.30 ozs. silver
and 2.7O9o copper. The second class
went 1.57 ozs. geld, $50 ozs. silver,
with no copper. There were four
tons OF the first class and three
and one-half tons of the second class.
This ore was taken from the east
stope in the 255-foot level. Miners
are now raising west in the 300-foot
level to come under the shoot OF ore
showing in the 2e5. Last month a
shipment of mill dirt was made from
the 265 level that ran three ounces
TO the cord. Herman Sinner and
James Atkinson are in charge Of OPP

she introduced tie Doctor to his in
telligent audience, they were quick to
realize that the chairman's eulogy
was no empty boast. His resonant
voice with no apps rent effort pene-
trated every corner of the house. and
his pleasing manner and unusual
proclivity fer rich story telling. not
only proved him to he an adept in
the lecture field. but captivated his
egerly listening audience. Mr. Bran
lage sang SOLO which was received
with much applause, and convinced
his hearers that wi Il voice culture,
the gentleman need not long remain

entertainment at the opera house CON
cluded with another reel of moving
pictures, after which reception was
held in the Doctors honor in the foy-

NEW AUTO ROAD

Robt. Sayre and County Commits
sioner Neil Mckay, accompanied by
two distinguished citizens, made a
tour OF inspection Tuesday over the
auto road and the proposed route from
where the present road ends to the
foot of Guy hill where tie road is to
be rebuilt shortly. The auto road to
the top of Dory hill, built two or
three years ago, is n as good condi-
tion as at any time since it's COM
pletion. This is a great piece of road
work, costing practically nothing to
maintain.
The distance from Central City to
the top of Dory hill via the auto road
is eight miles, and to the point at
Guy hill where the new road is to
commence, the distance from Central
is 17.2 miles. The new Guy hill road
will be 2s miles in length, and the
grade will be reduced to 10 per cent
From the end of the present auto
road to Guy hill is very easy grade,
with the exception of two CIR three
places, which will be rebuilt by the
commits sioners of Glrin county with
the appropriation to he received from
the state. Between the top of Dory
hill and the Gilpin county line there
IS one grade of about % per cent
which will be elm; eted by a fill of
less than quarter OF a mile in length.
When the Guy hill road is built,
the road between Central and Golden
and on in to Denver will be one of
the best and most scenic auto routes
in the state. The grade will not be
so steep but that any machine of or
dinary power can negotiate the steep
est hill. The run between Central
and Denver can be made easily in
two hours time
The return trip of the inspectors
was made from tie foot Of Guy hill
via the Smith hill road and all tie
highways traveTsed in Gilpin county
We're in very gocd condition and the
Sayre machine had easy running at
practically any 70 in this county
From the county Inc irto jefferson
the road is not in very coed shape,
but this will be improved as soon as
the Guy hill read is completed The
condition of the Gilpin county roads
speaks well for the efficiency of our
county commission RS and under their
able direction the people are assured
of a splendid route between Central
City and Denver.
