fication of the attack, many officials
see no hope Of an amicable adjustmt
Such an adjustment would nave TO
come, they say, through belief IN the
good faith" Of the German govern
merit Unless this good faith is sup
porred by works, it is not regarded as
a valid reason for the continuance Of
friendly relations with Germany.
A report that the Hesperian was
under charter TO the British govern
ment for the transportation OF troops
10 England was the subject of much
discussion in official circles. No refer
ence was found in authorities on in
terna.ional law that offered parallel
10 such a case. The general belief.
however. is that if the Hesperian was
on an innocent mission at the time OF
the attack, the fact Of previous guilty
use could not Justify the submarine
commander in torpedoing her.
In the recent case Of the Arabic II
was contended by certain German sym
pathizers that the presence Of con-
WOW in the first stages of her voyage
indicated guilt, and that the attack,
which took place after the convoy had
departed. was therefore iustihable.
state Department authorities asserted
that convoy was an evidence of guilt
only 60 long as it was actually present,
and could not lend guilty character
to a ship.
Proceeding from this opinion, it is
believed that the mere fact that the
Hesperian was once used as a transport
would not make her liable TO destruc-
ton when engaged in innocent com
merce. international law is clear on
the point that charter does not de
termine the character Of vessel, and
the Hesperian being chartered to the
British government would not, there
fore, make her a public ship unless
she was actually engaged i'm Admiralty

the Allan liner Hesperian had been
torpedoed by a German submarine, but
a storm Of Kisses drowned out the ap-
plause. The bulletin, read by Henry
Weissman, Of Chicago, chairman Of the
resolutions committee, contained me
erroneous statement that oOO llVes nad
been lost Another bulletin stating
no lives had been lost was read later
and the delegates broke into applause
that lasted several minutes.
Mr.. Weissman said the action OF the
submarine confirmed his opinion that
reports declaring Germany had &C,
coded TO the demands Of the United
States regarding submarine warfare
had been published solely 10 keep
neople from attending the convention
Of the Friends Of Peace, and that the
lingo press" had loaned its efforts
to the movement with that end IN
view.

Fails TO See RemOrSe
in German Reply to u. S

Paris, Sept. 5.--In a leading article
ale Temps" discusses at length the
concessions made by Germany to the
United States regarding submarine
warfare Il believes the real value Of
these proposals now may be judged in
their true light asserting It would have
been dangerous TO place faith in illu--
sions that the German government had
been smitten by tardy remorse. 1t
says, however, that it is believable the
concessions constitute a favorable sign
and that President Wilson may cause
Berlin 20 yield more completely,
The paper contends there is nothing
yet TO permit the affirmation that Ger
many has resolved 10 modify its sub
marine warfare, unless it be true that
Admiral Won Tirpitz is leaving his post.

Little Excitement In London.
London learned of the torpedoing Of
the Hesperian through a Sunday news-
paper which issued an extra at
o'clock this afternoon containing the
meagre details sent by news agencies
from Queenstown.
As it was declared that all the pas
sengers and crew had been saved, the
news aroused no excitement compare

of the Lusitsnia and the Arabic. II
was noticeable that wherever groups
assembled TO discuss the matter the
principal interest centred in the prob

mander in chiefs orders far and near.
The bluejackets are sturdy long-ser-
vice men Of mature years, who have
been drilling on the same ship since
the war began. Their health is bet
ter than in time of peace, as they
have sufficient exercise and good food.
Misdemeanors Of all sorts in the navy
have decreased since the war began. One
feature of the usual routine only has
been changed. Decks are not washed
every day, but twice week. The daily
washdown gave the men less freedom
of movement and kept things too moist.
Men Carefully Trained.
The aim is to keep the men always
I'D to the maximum of efficiency, Off
GERS explained, and not to overtrain
them or permit any slackness.
In the turrets, on the bridge and
below decks there was a significant
absence of things which would not
serve a purpose in battle. Only in
the commander in chiefs cabin did
books and pictures suggest other than
naked utility Of war.
Sir John Jellicoe and all his officers
spoke in the same strain about the
situation. If the German feet had any
chance of success, they said, it was at
the outset Of the war With every
month the British feet had grown
stronger and was better organized %

the submarine had played a more i'm
po-tant part than many anticipated
the methods for countering their at
tacks and destroying them had devel-
oped beyond expectation.

had succeeded in hitting only one veg

THREE GIRLS JOIN
SECURITY LEAGUE
New Appeal Urges Formation
Of Boards To Be Responsible
for National Defence.

New efforts are being made by the
National Security League to interest
citizens In placing the defences OF the
United States on a frmer basis. At a
meeting in Boston yesterday steps were
taken for the establishment of branch
Of the league in that city. James NJ.
Curley, Mayor OF Boston, and other
city officials attended.
In an appeal issued yesterday the
league points out that It's purpose is
not 10 encourage a larger expenditure
upon the army and navy, but to insure
better results from the funds provided.
IL calls attention to the fact that with
in the last fifteen years the United
States has spent more money on its
navy than any other country with the
exception OF Great Britain.
During this time the United States
has dropped from second to fourth in
sea power and is even now unorepared
for sudden conflict, the report says.
and quotes Secretary Daniels as saying
that the navy is deficient ten battle
ships and has insufficient small craft
for scouting in the event Of war.
Measures urged 10 increase the
strength OF the national defence are:
The creation OF national defence
board, to stop the pork barrel meth
ods Of Congress in relation TO military
matters; the establishment of an ade-
quate naval board, free from political
control; the increase of the standing
army TO a mobile force Of $4,000 men in
the United States; the organization Of
a reserve. and proper support for the
national guard.
Three girls at Seattle-Miss Eliza
