These air raids on London that the
Germans are staging with such sue
cess these days may be legal, as the
German authorities are so quick to
point out on the premise that London
is a fortified place, but they're an
inhuman kind of warfare just the
same. However, all warfare is in
pretty much the same category.

ably be depended upon to stage a war

BRTAN'S ATTITUDE IS BL AM ED.

WASHINGTON. D. C., July H. Legal authorities of the government have come to a deadlock concerning the right of the United States to make any further demands from Germany in regard to the subna- rine blockade. The only thing tha- remains, it is said, is for the Presi- dent 10 decide a policy regardless of legal features and to stand by it.
 Late this afternoon officials of the state department said that Sec retary Bryan's resignation seems 10 have had something to do with the way Germany has replied to the second protest from the United States. This is made evident, 1t is asserted by the similarity in the

Auto Falls 50 Feet;
 Passengers Escape
MACHINE IS ALMOST DEMOuISH. ED BY DROP IN THE
 CANYON.

TACOMA, July 11.-What is declared to have been the most wonderful escape from death ever experienced by anybody in this state, was that of five people who were in a motor car that plunged off mountain highway yesterday not far from this city, and fell 50 feet to the bottom of canyon. Every member of the party in the car escaped uninjured, but the ma chine was almost demolished.
 The machine was running at a high rate of speed when it came to sudden turn in the road. It was not possible for it to make the turn in safety and the driver allowed it to shoot straight ahead. The hill side at that place was almost perpendicular, and the machine shot downward to the bottom of the canyon. How the passengers managed to escape injury in the fall, while the machine was al most demolished, it something that they are unable to explain.

LONDON, July 11-It is reported here on what seems to be good au thority that the German government is planning to establish a conner cial blockade of all Canadian ports on the Atlantic ocean. It is under stood that the new model subma- rines, which can travel for 5000 miles without supplies will be used in this blockade and that they will get their supplies while on the American coast from vessels to be sent out to look after them.
 The report is believed by the British military and admiralty au- thorties to be true, and such an action on the part of Germany is declared to have been expected. It has been known for some time that the Canadian coast has been alive with German spies, but it has not been possible to capture them.
 It is supposed that the Germans are maintaining regular system for collecting marine information, gathered from the marine reports on the American Atlantic coast, and that this information is sent by wire less to Germany. which causes them to lay in wait for British vessels due to arrive here.
