viction Of Misuse of
Mails.

Ebert Hubbard. the writer. believed
to have been lost on the Lusitania, OBJ.
tanned a pardon from President Wilson
Just before sailing for Europe, 1t haa
been learned, in order to have his civil
rights restored and thus obtain a pass

ed to appeared in Hubbards magazine
The conviction automatically deprived
him of the rights of citizenship. ant
President Taft denied him a pardon thu

GERMAN NAVAL BASE
LOCATED BEFORE WAR
One Believed on Irish Coast Near
Where Lusitania Was
Sunk.

Much confidential information has
reached here of late as to the opera
lions Of German submarines and their
bases Of action. One base for six pow
eriul submarines is said to be located
of Cape Finisterre, the rocky protec-
ton at the northwest shoulder" of
Spain.
That point commands a great sweep
of the Atlantic leading to and from
English and French ports. But It is
said to serve mainly for a watch on the
British trade route running south
along the coast of Spain to the Medi-
terranean. this being the great British
via the Suez canal.
Too Far for Attack.
The base of Cape Finisterre i.
thought to be too far south to have
dashed to launch its torpedoes against
the Lusitania-
Another base IL thought to be in OF
about Bear Haven. in Bantry bay at the
southwest extremity OF ireland, nifty
miles due west Of the scene of the
sinking of tho Lusitania. The irish
coast AT tnat point 16 WHO and ragged
with deep and desolate bays and coves
affording unusual opportunities for
hostile craft to escape the vigilance OF
British destroyers.
Stop Put to ManeuverA
Prior to tho war German ships were
in the habit Of carrying on maneuvers
In these bays. until tho British gov
eminent put a stop to 1t. During the
maneuvers there is little doubt oppor-
tunity was afforded for charting the
locality and establishing a prospective
base for use should an emergency
arise. such as the one brought on by
the present war.
Bear Haven Is an isolated point far
away from railways. with Bear Island
and a group of smaller islands adding
to the natural defensive character OF
the locality for the secretive operations
of submarines.

Japanese Object
When the Chinese government pre-
scented the first draft of its reply. the
japanese plenipotentiaries objected to
the lengthy explanation contained in
It. Tho Chinese then offered a brief
blanket acceptance. but the Japanese
again objected. requiring. instead. .
categorical acceptance. including a spe-
cific undertaking for a future discus
sion of the articles of group five. This
is the group that China declined to con-
slider, and the discussion of which. With
the exception of the demand bearing or
Fukien province. Japan had suspended
in her ultimatum.
To Restore Kiaochow.
The japanese ultimatum makes an
important point of Japan's intention &c
restore Kiaochow to China. The ulti-
matum refers to the sacrifices made by
Japan in the capture of Tsing-Tau. but
makes no mention of Great Britain's
participation in this operation or OF
her allys right to participate in the
adjudication.
With the exception of an unorganized
boycott there has been no movement
against the Japanese resident in China
and there is no report of any attack
