CATIONS FINE ADDRESS.
Alexandria Lawyer Makes Splendid
Impression at Cape May.

Hon. James R. Cation, of this city
returned on Saturday from Cape
May, N. j., where he was one of
the guests of honor at the meeting
of the Maryland Bar Association.
He was on the program with num-
Der of other prominent lawyers in
cluding former Senator Joseph "
Bailey, of Texas. His address on
Thursday night, according to the
Philadelphia papers, was considered
to be one Of the most interesting OF
the session. His subject was "Legis,
lative Neurasthenia VS.. Uniformity
of Laws Among the States"
The speaker likened the present,
day mania for legislation on all SUBJ
jects to a nervous disease, and de-
nlored the oyer-regulation Of cornvra-
tions and the commissioning stira-
tion system. He expressed the belief
that the great European conflict
was acting as check on this over
legislation, investigation and regula-
ton.
The speaker briefly reviewed the
work of the American bar commits.
sion for uniform laws. Some of the
laws recommended for uniform legis-
lation throughout the states are uni
form marriage and divorce, child Ia.
Dor, workman's compensation and.

ROOSEVELT AGAINST WILSON
Former President Says He is Sec
.Ond James Buchanan.

New York. July .12-Leaving for
California. last. night Col.' Roosevelt!
made clear that he regards the coull-
try in such a serious situation
through the mistakes of President
Wilson's administration that he will
support any decent Republican who
runs against him-by which is meant
Republican whose reactionary tain:
and tendency is not Of the ulti-
mate or the penultimate degree.
To the colone's mind. Wilson has
shown himself to be Il second Bu
chanan." The attitude of the admi.
nistration on foreign matters has
been to the colonel Uncomfortable" "
and more important still, the failure
of the administration to make mill
tary and naval preparation for the
crisis that it now faces is, iii his OWE
.cogent phrase, nothing less than
criminal" g."
The colonel has not gone back to
the Republican party. He resentS
that misinterpretation of his attitude.
He believes that it is not a time Tor
men to worry about political ties.
At the same time re regards it as
not impossible that the Republican
party may make the mistake of put
ting up some man Of so rcactlonary
character that it would he impos-
sible for him to support the Repub
lican.
| But if the Republicans do not make
the mistake of putting up some man
who is slap in the face at the -four
! millions who voted for him IN l9J'
Roosevelt will gladly join in the batt''
to oust the man he calls the secort
| Buchanan.
The colcnel's attention was calle'
to the recent forecast of Hilles' NC
Combs, and Perkins. All agreed tina
there would be four candidates q
the field in 1916.
The colonel, however, was not in
clined to take these statements YER
seriously. He does not believe tn
Bryan movement is important. More
over. he does not want to see so man
tickets in the field that there will b
danger of Wilson winning.

TEUTONS NOW ON

Russians Have Apparently
Blocked the Austro-

AWAIT MORE TROOPS
Kaiser is Again Sending Soldiers
From the West to Endeayor :2
Crush Muscoyite Army.

London, July 12-The check which
the Russians have imposed on Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand'S army IN
Southern Poland and the addltioEa,
strain which this has placed on the
German General yon Mackensen'S
army to the right, has postponed, It
is believed in military circles here,
the threatened German offensive ii
the west and there is now a pos
sbility that the Allies will be the
first to take the offensive.
Ir support of this it is pointed out
that the attacks by the German
Crown Princes army in the Woevre
which the German press announced
was the commencement Of a general
movement forward, have ceased and
what fighting is going on along the
western front consists Of artillery
engagements and few isolated at"
tacks and counter-attacks by infantry
which make little or no difference IN
the positions Of the opposing fronts.
The Germans it is said are bound
10 carry out their offensive against
the Russians until there is some de-
cisive engagement such as the cap
+urn of the Lubin-Cholm Railway,
which. it is asserted, would have
hcen in their hands before now II the
Austrians advancing toward the c''y
had not been driven back.
Reports from neutral sources arc
r. tho effect that to make good tnelt
efforts against the Russians the GER
mans are moving troops which were
irtcnded for the western front 10
the east. To a certain extent th'S
.aems confirmed by the statement III
thc Russian official report that rem
forcements have reached ArchduNe

Won Mackensen also commenced an
offensive which. however, broke uo"''

Will Not Abandon Subma-
q
rine Policy But Will
Safeguard Travel
OFFERS GERMAN SHIPS
Proposition to Place United States
in Control Of Largest Vessels in
}, Atlantic Service.

Berlin, July 12-Germany is will
ing to make further concessions to
safeguard American travellers in the
"war zone," the foreign office an
nounced today.
She will not abandon her submarine
policy, but she will consent to plac-
ing several great German liners un-
der the American flag for the remain
der of the war, in addition to grant
ing immunity from submarine attacks
to four English liners, as proposed in
her latest note to Washington.
The suggestion made was that the
big Hamburg-American liners Impera
tor and Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
and the North German Lloyd liner
George Washington be placed at the
disposal of the American Govern
ment for transporting neutralS
through the zone of submarine ope--
ations.
"Of course. you understand this
matter would rest with the ships ow-
ners," said Under Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman, "but Germany would be
willing to place at the service of
American travellers her largest liners
if the American Government cares to
suggest it. If America desires to
place them under the American flag
we shall certainly cagree.
Germany, it was intimated at the
foreign ofs!ce, is willing TO turn over
these interned passenger ships with
out financial gain and with neutral
crews, from the captain down. The
chief reason that Americans desire to
travel abroad English liners, it was
pointed out, probably-is because bet.
ter accommodations can be secured
in the majority of cases. Should the
German liners be:operated' under the
American flag, neutral passengers
could travel aboard last, luxurious
ships in the knowledge that they were
safe from submarine attacks. Fur
thermore, it was pointed out, the
sailing schedules would not be inter
rupted as has been the case with
English liners, because the ships were
commandeered by the government
for use as transports.
