ENGLAND FACING DISASTER

England's leading army officers
from Lord Kitchener down were
mercilessly attacked in the house of
commons Thursday by Arthur Lynch,
an Irish member from West Clare.
The war has been conducted with
signal incompetence by the British,
he declared, and unless there is a
change the country is moving straight
toward disaster.
He urged the sweeping away of "a
per cent of the men in the higher
commands, beginning with Sir John
French, "who has not progressed in
fifteen months" he said.
Kitchener was accused Of blunder
ing In not moving to defend Liege
in the matter of munitions, in delay
in helping the Serbians and in
neglecting to provide the troops ade
quately with war planes.

REDMOND CALLS IRISH C0WARDS

John E. Redmond, leader of the
Irish parliamentary party, has desig.
mated as towards the young men of
Ireland who decline to take the kings
shilling and join the British colors.
The climax was brought about when
the crew of the British steamship
Saxonia refused to take their places
If young men of Ireland were per-
mitted to take passage for New York
on board the vessel. The matter was
referred to the steamship officers and
the officers Of the company who up
held the striking crew. The Saxonia
Is British vessel and commanded by
British crew. They have left the
young men no alternative, they must
stay where England wants them, and
do as England bids them.
1t is new departure in the history
of the Irish people for a supposed
leader to refer to the people of his
race as towards. His wrath will not
bring the Irish people to state of
mind where they will deliver Ireland
to the crown at his bidding. Sur
rounded by sea on all sides, depending
upon English vessels for chance to
escape, with that chance now denied
them. is a reversal of the policy in
vogue when the fever ships brought
them by the thousands from Irish
ports to die of malignant fever in a
strange land. The irony of fate in
Irish history is without a narallel.

BRITISH AGENTS GUILTY.

The Federal Court in San Francisco
found two Englishmen, Ralph Bair
and DR.. Thomas Adds. guilty of con-
spring to hire men in the United
States for British military service.
The penalty for the offense is impris.
onment for not more than two years
or fine of not more than $4,000 or
both. The neutrality cases came into
prominence when 19 men bound for
England were stopped in Chicago and
New York and brought back West.
The defendants admitted that they
had provided these men with money,
which the government attorneys as.
serted in court, came from British of.
ticial sources, but maintained they
merely used it to send men to Eng.
land without any agreement as to
fighting.

LANDLORDS ACTIVE.

A serious and most injurious blow
has been dealt to the back to the
land" movement which has achieved
such remarkable improvement in
the condition Of the cottiers and small
farmers in Ireland. The work Of the

suspended and may never be re.estab

A YOUNG MANS CHANCE.
Advantages for a Better Education
Through Y. M. c. A. Institute
at Spokane.

Many ambitious young men whose
educational advantages have been linn
tied, or who have come to regret after
knocking around the world a while,
failure to embrace an earlier soppor-
tunity, have been placed upon the
highway OF success by training re-
ceived at the Jenkins Institute, of the
Y. M. c. A, at Spokane, Wash.
The school is unique among educa.
tional institutions, and has field all
it's own, covered by no other school
The founder of the institute, the late
Colonel d. p. Jenkins, made the school
possible by an endowment of $4,000
He had a broad conception of the
needs of young men struggling against
handicaps for a start in life; this class
of men he desired to assist with some
of the fortunes he had accumulated as
a Spokane pioneer With the endow
ment, he made the following condi
tons:
There shall be taught in the schoo
what is most sought by young men t.
learn, whether it be blacksmithing
pQllOSOpQy cutulSlIy, tlSClIlClly
science or art, or any other branch o
learning that will best fit young
man for the calling, trade, profession
or life work he wishes to pursue"
Men who have developed a desire
for a course in college or other highe
institutions but could not secure ad
mission on account of limited schoo
advantages, are given just the prepa
ration needed and that in the shortes
possible time, obviating three or fou
years of preparatory work which woul
be required in the regular course.
Mechanical and business classes a
night make it possible for the youn
man, who has to work during the day
to get some of the opportunities 70
study and self betterment for whic
he has been longing. The day schoc
gives those who can afford it an OF
portunity to devote all their time
study.
Students have the privilege of tn
big gym and swimming pool of the al

literary and debating society officere

WOMAN IN GRAIN MARKET.
She Takes Part in the Proceedings on
Portland Grain Exchange.


Portland Grain Exchange.
Portland, Ore, Aug. 11.-For the first
time in the history of the Portland
Merchants exchange the grain mar
ket of the Pacific northwest, a woman
has attended the trading sessions the
last day or so, taking an active part
in the proceedings and showing live
ly interest in bulling and slumps in
the market.
The woman is Miss e. Deane Smith,
daughter of the late Lillis F. Smith,
one of the largest land owners and
wheat growers of Washington. Her
home is near Endicott, Whitman
county.
Known as the wheat princess of
the Inland Empire" Miss Smith has a
direct interest in the marketing end of
the crop that is the financial backbone
of the northwest states. She ventured
into the Portland wheat pit to learn
at first hand the step in the process
of actually turning golden wheat into
golden coin. She was visibly impressed
by what she saw.
Miss Smith stepped in among the
bulls and bears of the wheat market
without a tremor and watched the
wheels go around to her hearts con
tent.
"The honest farmer" as she was
called by the traders, can not see why
any one should buy wheat for rs cents
to put on the market when he car
raise it for 81 cents. Incidentally Miss
Smith sold her wheat last February
at S1.45.

Cornish, N. H., Aug. 11-After the
regarding the Mexican situation Presi-
dent Wilson decided to return to Wash
ington at once. The president was in
communication with Secretary Lansing
and other officials regarding the re-
quest from Commander McNamee at
Vera Cruz that a battleship squadron
be sent there 1t was believed that the
president had decided that further in
formation be ordered regarding the
situation at Vera Cruz.
Washington Aug. 1.-two Ameri-
can battleships, the Louisiana and the
New Hampshire, sailed from Newport,
r. l., for Vera Cruz in response to an
urgent request from Commander Nc
Nance that his little fleet of gunboats
in Mexican waters be reinforced in
view of anti-foreign demonstrations
and riots at General Carranza's capital.
1t is understood that President Will
son himself ordered the warships sent,
would even admit that they had sail
ed. Care had been taken during the
day to point out that any naval or mill
tary activity at this time would be
purely precautionary to safeguard for
eign interests and could not be con
strued as having any connection with
the Pan-American conference which is
to be resumed in New York tomorrow
to complete a program for bringing
about restoration of government in
Mexico
Official reticence concerning the
movements of the Louisiana and New
Hampshire is due largely to feaI
that news of their coming reaching
Vera Cruz ahead of the ships might
accentuate the already serious situa
ton existing there. Commander Nc
Nance, the senior American naval Off
Ger on the gulf coast, cabled his re
quest for reenforcements last night anC
