and submarines. If German ships
stand out from the Baltic into the
North sea through the Skager-Rak,
the destroyer informs the headquar-

There is another strong patrol
which completely blocks the North
sea between the Shetland islands and
the coast Of Norway. The English
channel blockading feet comes under
another division entirely. But all are
quite sur that a German cruiser
would not elude discovery If 1t at

Care Of Residence Property.

A choice section is not created by
costly dwellings. A street of plain,
homely or even ugly houses is trans

residence district, II scrupulous pains
are taken to keep out disorder. And

houses looks dowdy, decadent and run
down If the back yards are allowed to
become slatternly.

Here and there was a knot Of white
crepe upon the handle Of a door.
Vane fancied that the eyes of the

He was within a block of his house

Cyrus Vane was not a hard-hearted

nerved himself with difficulty for his
answer.

The woman was looking desperately

Vane detached himself. He had long
ago hardened his mind against such
scenes, such emotions. In the strug-
gle for the race thousands fell. He
turned and walked onward. He heard
a mans curse follow him. He turned
down a side street toward his own
comfortable house.
Vane idolized his wife and child. 1t
was their only one, and there was not
likely to be another. His birth had
almost cost his wife her life. The lit

 Mir Bryan began his address tonight by declaring his conviction that the people of this country would stand solidly behind the President in case of war. But whether we should engage in war. he said, is a question which is still open for discus sion MT.

 The trains met at high speed on d bridge spanning deep ravine between Highheld and Thurmont and it is feared some of the passengers were thrown from the bridge. The location of the wreck is isolated and darkness prevented rapid search. Telegraph wires were carried down and it was difficult to obtain in- formation.
 The engines were telescoped. three members of the -eneine crews and bag gage master being killed. Three and probably four passengers were killed.

Dunkirk, France, June 23.-(Via Paris. June 24, 2:2o D. m)-Thirty-six tons of ex- plosives and metal were fired into Dun Kirk yesterday from the German positions somewhere behind Dixmude. Several ci- vilians were killed or wounded and con siderable material damage was done. but not single shell reached the port or any other point of military importance.
 The impression on the inhabitants dif- fered in no way from that made by pre- eeding bombardments, and the first trains out of the city today carried no more than the usual number of travellers
 The first shell struck in the city at the break of dawn and others followed at intervals of 25 minutes until early in the evening They came without warming, for though Dunkirk constantly hears the guns of the allies along the Belgian front. no sound comes from the monster wea pon that hurls these 16-inch shells from spot more than 20 miles distant. The shriek of the shell gives no warning of the missiles coming as the noise Is hear only in the last 200 yards of flight

PRESIDENT SEES NO PROSPECT FOR
 AN EARLY PEACE Wilson and Colonel House Confer on European Situ- atiOn-Peace Terms
 Difficult

New York, June 24.-President Will son does not seen any prospect for an early peace in Europe.
 Col F.. M. House, his unofficial en- voy to Europe, gave the President today the results of his sojourn of several months in European capitals, where he talked intimately with the responsible officials of the German. British and French governments, and the informa- tfOn he imparted i'm the long walks and talks which they enjoyed today re- flected definitely the ideas held by both dipIomatists and the military eIe- ment in each of the countries at wnr. rents of public opinion in each country as to peace terms.
 The President has been guided largely by what Colonel House has reported to him by cable and letters in handling the delicate question of renewing the efforts of the United States to bring about a general acceptance of mediation. MT Wilson himself said last Tuesday that no new tenders of good offices had been made to any of the warning powers but that all foreign governments understood the willingness of the United States to be of any service in any way possible to pave the way for an approach to peace.
 Terms Difficult
 One fundamental thing the President has learned, which has affected the ef- forts of the United States to maKe peace. is the unpreparedness of public opinion in some of the belligerent countries as to terms which, they fear their adversaries might advance, or that already are dis cussed. Colonel House observed that pub- lie opinion in some countries insisted on terms which the governments of those countries already had learned in various ways would not be acceptable to their opponents.
 In all countries Colonel House found there had developed among the masses a desire for a settlement that wou;d be commensurate with sacrifices made by the people If left to the diplomatists in Europe alone return to the territorial statu quo perhaps would not be difficult. some of the information indicated. In Germany it seemed, according to in- formation given to the President, that the object of a large and influential party was to prepare public opinion for reali- zation of the idea that Germany's best interests lie in colonial expansion and the incidental development of overseas com merce rather than in territorial extension in Europe proper. The question, however, which Colonel House thinks likely will play most important part in any peace negotiations is Freedom of the seas, the principle that the property of all pri- vite citizens except contraband shall be exempt from capture or seizure on the high seas in time of war.

 16 witnesses-nearly all of them friends he had made during his so- Journ In Canada and New Hamps hire --testIfy that they believed he was
 rational man.
 | One was a physician who had attended to Thaws sprained ankle; another had sold him an automobile; another had gone fishing with him; another camping; one
 was the sheriff, his custodian in New Hampshire for Is months; one. an alder
 man of Sherbrooke, Quebec. who said he
 thought so much of Thaw that he had invited him to settle down there as one of the city's business men. All declared
 that Thaw conducted himself like a gen l tleman, had no deusions and was ra- tional both in speech and actions. Shows Satisfaction

The attorneys for the state, however. never 1 idlltu LO dSh tdcu WltftSS WuttUtT 1naW at any time had discussed women with i them or any of the circumstances that l led to the murder of Stanford White None would say that these topics were brought up, whereupon the states exam iners would make the point that para
 noiac such as Thaw is alleged to be, might converse rationally except when
 his one delusion was mentioned.
 In preparation for the states side of the case Deputy Attorney General Cook
 applied to Justice Hendrick this after noon for an order to have commission take the testimony of Dr. Charles w. Eliot. president emeritus of Harvard as to why Thaw was expelled from that in- sttution in 1892. He said the justice would grant the order tomorrow. Thaw.
