Three shocks were given before the
prison physicians pronounced Becker
dead at 5:55 o'clock.
Becker led the way to his own exc
cution. He hesitated as he entered the
execution room. 1t seemed to the wit
nesses as If he was startled that the
death chair was so near at hand. He
looked quickly at the double row of
witnesses, glanced at the floor, swept
with his eyes the whitened walls Of the
room and then suddenly, as If coming
to himself, walked briskly over the
rubber mat and seated himself in the
electric chair. Behind Becker followed
the prison priests, chanting a prayer,
which was repeated by the condemned
man.
Jesus. Mary, Joseph, have mercy on
my SOUL" nervously spoke Becker, as
deputy wardens stepped forward and
adjusted the electrodes. After an ex-
animation by three physicians among
the witnesses DR.. Farr, the prison ply
sician, at 5:55 o'clock announced: 81

WAR ENDS YEAR.
PUBLIC STATEMENTS
Germany and France Tell the
World How They Feel After
IL Months Fighting.

London, August Sir Edward Car
son, attorney general in the Asquith
cabinet. has prepared for the public
a signed statement, giving broad
outline of the first year of the war
from the British standpoint, together
with expression of the unalterable pur-
pose of the British government and
people to carry on the war to sue
cessful conclusion. The statement fol-
lows:
War to Last.
"How long will the war last and what
will be the result? To such questions
as these any British subject can give
but one answer, and that is that the
war will last until the cause OF the al
lies has been brought to successful
issue and Europe and the world have
been relieved from the ideals involved
in the aggression of Prussian domino
ton.
World "Peace" Forgotten.
"The world peace does not enter
into our vocabulary at present. 1t is
banished from our conversation as
something immoral and impossible I'M

are the most peace-lOving people in the
world, a nation which throughout the
globe within it's many dominions has
inculcated good government, and social
and industrial progress and the free
exercise in it's widest sense Of civil and
religious liberty.
Rightly or wrongly, we have in the
past devoted our energies and our in
/ telligence, not to preparations for war
but to that social progress which
makes for the happiness and the con
tentment of the mass of our people
And this, no doubt, is the reason why
other nations imagine that we, as {
nation of shopkeepers, are too indolen
and apathetic to fight for and main
tain these priceless liberties won BY
the men who laid the foundation o
our vast empire.
