Senator Martin For Harmony

Washington, Nov. 7.-Sena tor
Thomas 5. Martin, of Virginia,
chairman CT the Senate Com
llittee Oh Appropriations, will
rot be a candidate for the Senate
floor leadership in the coming
Congress. He made this clear
III his first public comment about
tie matter since the movement
t restore linn to that position
was started.
The Vir:inian does not believe
j, purity divisions and will not
|, nit his name to be used tc
t.neut such divisions. In other
words, he does not wish any con-
t st to take pace between his
friends and the il nds of Sena-
tor Kern, of Indiana, or any
other Senator.
When asked if his name
would be presented to the ma
jointly. caucus for the floor leader
snip, Senator Martin replied that
1t was not and never Lad been |
his purpose TO oppose the re-
e ction of Senator Kern. He
SAID that this was time when
! conflicts and schisms should
be avoided and there should be
aImony and cooperation.
He added that the work of the
Committee on Appropriation
v >yery congenial to him and he
did not desire to take On himself
any burdens and responsibilities
that his duty to his party and
tie country did not equire.
1t seems certain that his fr;enfa
will urge his elevation to the
majority leadership if Senator
Kern is made President pro tenn

London, November 8.-Eng-
and is very resentful of the tone
IF thes President Wilson'S note |
;oncsfning the British blockade |
Of the German coast.
Comment by the man in the
street. today is far more out
spoken to this effect than were
the newspapers. The latter,
while vigorously defending the
blockade and deploring what
they term the harsh" wording
of the communication. are care
fu! to explain that no serious
trouble is to be expected between
the two countries, and seem hurt
rather than angry at the Ameri-
can Chief Executives's attitude.
Individual utterarces, however,
are very bitter.
SEE POLITICAL. INFLUENCES.
The popular view, if it is Ger.
rectly reflected by what is to be
heard on the street and in shops
and Offices, is that the President
had the 'hyphented vote" clear
~ in mind in what he said, that
he puts American profits much
hie her than vital British neces-
stiles, and that the most resolute
answer ought to be returned, to
the effect that England does not
propose to be hampered in its
life-and-death struggle by con-
| sideration for Americas over
seas trade.
That Americans have turned
Europe's troubles to their own
financial account, and are SO
selfish now that they are en-
ragged at any curtailment of their
own swollen dividends, is a view
widely expressed.
Lord Curzon defended the
government from attacks which
had been made on the censorship
AS to the censoring of German
wireless news he said:
| Il cannot see why we should
become advertising agents fol
German ISLANDERS and lies"
| He declared that the Londol
Globe had been suspended 70
making untrue and maliciou,
statements.
THE announcement that Lore

THE PRESIDENTS
RECOMMENDATION.

Mr.. Bryan has vigorously at
tackled the policy of the admins
tration as outlined in President
Wilson's speech before the Mar

against the attacks of any ma

If our unpreparedness. He ad-
yocates a force sufficient to ie-
lieve the people of any anxiety
about our safety.
Mr.. Bryan opposes this policy
aud illustrates his position by
comparing the policy of the
President to that Of the pistol

Birds Friends Of Allies.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledge

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Many soldiers at the front have
commented on the fact that the
birds do not desert the region of
the fighting line, despite the
noise of the firing. But it is
stranger still that the birds have
ranged themselves on the side of
! the Allies against one method of
German warfare. A soldier on
short leave from the trenches
tells how the winged friends of
the Allies warn them of the COM
ing of the clouds of poison gas
when the Germans attempt that
mode Of attack at night time.
In daylight the approach of
the deadly cloud is easily de-
tected. It is visible to the eyes
of the watchers in the trenches,
and there is time to take pre-
cautions against its effects. But !
in the darkness of the night the |
of the gas is unseen.
Then it is that the birds come to |
the help of the soldiers. Long !
before the smell of the fumes can
be detected in the trenches there

HUMANITY FIRST.
WILSON'S POLICY
NATION IN RIGHT MAY NEED NO
FORCE, SAYS PRESIDENT, IN
PHILADELPHIA SPEECH.
U.S.TO REMAIN ATPEACE
FIFTEEN THOUSAND CHEER AS
NATIONS CHIEF EXECUTIVE
VOICES HOPE FOR PEACE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Philadelphia, May Il. President
Wilson gave to a gathering of 1000
aaturalized Americans Monday night
The first intimation of what course the
United States government will pursue
in the situation arising from the loss
OF more than a hundred American
lives on the British liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that while the United States
would remain at peace it would seek
to convince Germany of the injustice
to mankind of the tragedy of last
Friday.
America" said the President,
must have the consciousness hat on
all sides it touches elbows and
touches hearts with all nations of
mankind. The example of America
must be a special example. and must
be al example not merely of peace
because it will not fight, but because
peace is the healing and e~levating in
fluence of the world and strife is not.
There is such a thing as a man being
too proud to fight. There is such a
thing as being sc right that 1t does
not need to convince others by force
that it is right"
These remarks precipitated a tu-
multi of applause and patriotic enthu-
siasm attended by a waving of thous-
ands of small American flags.
The President made no direct refer
ence to the Lusitania, but the audi
ence did not hesitate to read the ap-
plication of his statement.
The sentiment expressed in the
Presidents speech was epitomized
later by one of his closest advisers as
Humanity First" While it had not
yet been decided, he said, exactly
what steps would be taken by the
United States in the present crisis,
the idea uppermost in the Presidents
mind was to show that whatever
course is adopted-no matter how
yigorous-it will have as its objective
the good of humanity.
while you bring" he said, "all coun-
tries with you, you come with a pur-
pose of leaving all other countries be-
hind you, bringing what is best OF
their spirit but not looking over your
shoulder, and seeking to perpetuate
what you intended to leave in them.
would not certainly be n who
would suggest that a man ease to
love the place of his origin. 1t is
one thing to love the place where you
were born, and another thing to dedi-
cate yourself to the place to which
you go. You can't be an American If
you think of yourself in groups.
America does not consist of groups.
A man who considers himself as be-
longing to a national group is not yet
an American. My advice to you is to
think first not only Of America, but
to think first of humanity, and you
do not love humanity If o seek to
divide humanity into Jealous camps"
The President was constantly inter
rupted by spontaneous ~outbursts of
applause. He spoke clearly, and SO
quiet was his audience Of $4,000 that
he could be heard distinctly l n all
parts of the great hall. Everywhere
the red white and blue flag and bunt'
ing was displayed. and a band during
the evening played patriotic airs.

than the attacking dog, threw himself
on it. and battled grimly, until the

BELIEVES IN ATTACKING

Rear Admiral John M. de Robeck,
who succeeded Admiral Garden in
command of the allied fleet attack
ing the Dardanelles, has been little
known to the world at large, or even
to Great Britain, whose navy he en-
tered in 1875, when he was but thir-
teen years old. He became a rear ad-
miral in 1911, and the next year he
was made admiral of patrols, a post
calculated to give scope to all the
talents. 1t means a full acquaintance
with every form Of small craft, with
mines and mining, with the launch
