Speech Before Convention

Washington. Aug. 21.-For months
nave intended writing something
about Charles b. Aycock, whom | ad-
mired greatly. In the great campaign
the White Supremacy Campaign-in
North Carolina, in 1898, Mr. j. p.
Caldwell. the brilliant editor of the
charlotte Observer, sent me to the
eastern portion Of the State to inves-
tieate conditions growing out of domi-
nation of negro politicians. Messrs
Jas II. Pou and +. NJ. Simmons, then
law partners, urged Mr.. Caldwell to
get The facts in The Observer so that
its readers in the western portion of
the state could know them. Many
Democrats in central and western
counties were skeptical on the sub
artt Of negro domination.
Iu that year Mr.. Aycock one of the
uohicst men | ever met in public life,
distinguished himself as stump speak
er and debater.
The problem that campaign was to
interest the man outside of the negro
Zouc IN the real issue. Mr.. Aycock
undertook that task, and succeeded
admirably.
howard a. Banks. then one of the
ccNcreSt reporters in the State, now
private secretary to Secretary Daniels

tured and taken to a prize court Her
cargo OF cotton will be purchased by
the British government or forwarded
to Rotterdam without further expense

the owners of the Dacia as a result of
a message from Ambassador Page and
was notified in reply that the vessel
was loading at Galveston and would
put to sea, notwithstanding the Brit.
ish governments position. 1t was be.
lieved that the owners had resolved
to test the issue In a prize court.
Incidentally, the war risk insurance

Washington.--Afte two days of de

night passed without a roll call the
army Appropriation bill, carrying SOL.
100000.
Advocates of immediate strengthen

Representative Gardner of Massachu

includes 100000 for the purchase Of
twenty-five aeroplanes and $4,000 fol

BRITISH VESSEL IS

MERCHANT VESSEL vIkNoR BE-
LIEVED TO HAVE BEEN STRUCK
BY MINE LAID BY GERMANS.
Vessel Had Been Missing Several
Days When Some Of the Bodies
and Wreckage Washed Ashore
and Loss Became Known.

London.--It was officially announced
at the admiralty Monday that the Brit
dsh armored merchant vessel Viknor
had been lost OF ireland with all
hands. The vessel, IL was stated,
either struck a mine or foundered
The admiralty, In It's statement,
says:
She has been missing for some
days, and must now be accepted as
lost, with all her officers and men.
The cause Of ner loss is uncertain,
but as some bodies and wreckage have
been washed ashore on the north
coast of Ireland, II is presumed that
during the recent bad weather she
either foundered or. being carried out
of her course, struck a mine in seas
where the Germans are known to
have laid them"
The Viknor was formerly the vik.
ing, and was Communicated by the

BRITISH v|CTORS IN
NORTH SEA BATTLE
ATTEMPT or GERMAN SQUADRON
TO REPEAT ATTACKS ON ENG
LAND FRUSTRATED.
Armored Cruiser 6Iueoher Sunk and
Two Battle Cruisers Seriously
Damaged In Running Fight in
the North Sea.

London An attempt by a German
cruiser squadron to repeat the attack
recently made on Scarborough, the
Hartlepools and other British coast
towns. was frustrated Sunday by the
British patrolling squadron, and in a
running fight In the North sea the
German armored cruiser Bluecher was
sunk and two battle cruisers were Sc.
riously damaged. The British ships
suffered only slight injury. so far as
is known. only 1923 of the Bluecher's
crew of S55 were saved.
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers accom-
panying the bigger ships. but the re.
suit of this engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty.
The Germans were observed some
time after dawn proceeding In the d.
rection of the British coast. When
they sighted the superior British fleet
they turned and made at full speed
for home waters and 1t was only after
stern chase that the faster British
ships got within range of them.
For more than four hours the run
ming battle lasted the firing being
plainly heard in North Holland, where
It was judged the fight took place
north of the islands of Ameland and
Schiermonnik.O Dog
The Bluecher, which was slower
than the other German cruisers, fell
behind and succumbed to the heavier
guns of the Lion, which was leading
the British squadron The other Ger
man ships got within the mine and
submarine area, two OF them in bad
ly damaged condition and It was dan
gerous for the British battle cruisers
to follow.

territory relief work similar to that
In Belgium.
DR.. Rose and Mr.. Bicknell said on
their return Saturday that conditions
In Poland we're most distressing: II
anything. worse than In Belgium. They
were inclined to recommend the in
stitution OF relief work. provided pro
vision could be made for forwarding
supplies.
The transportation question is an ex-
tremely difficult one to solve, owing
to the poor roads. and the heavy de-
mands on railroads. motor trucks and
horses for supplying the needs of the
troops. The German government is is
suing provisions to civilians to a GER
tain extent. but has limited the rations
OF bread, for example, to only one
fifth OF a pound.
