The association will in no way con-
f1ict with the activities of the Repub-

publican Congressional Committee
On the contrary, it will so coordinate
the work of the party as to provide an
additional factor in the campaigns,
for it can and will do much work
which the other committees cannot do
at all and which they will not attempt
to do. The association will take no
part in any campaign for the nominal
ton or election of any individual to
any office, but will merely gather and
dessiminate information which will
demonstrate the superiority of Re-
publican principles, and expose the
defects and failures of Democratic
policies and administration. It's pro-

successfully, with the material on

RESIST U. S. LANDING PARTY
Marines and Sailors Meet Resistance
From Haitens at Port Au Prince.
Will Protect Foreigners.

Washington. = American marineA
landed at Port au Prince, Haiti, July
20 encountered resistance which was
overcome without casualties among
the sailors The following message
from Admiral Caperton was given out
at the Navy Department:
Landing forces established in city.
Slight resistance during early part OF
night as advance was being made. This
resistance easily overcome. No cas-
ualties our forces. Am proceeding
to disarm Hatien soldiers and civil
ians today"
The message was the first that Ca
perton's men from the cruiser Wash
ington had met resistance. Previous
dispatches merely said he had estab-
lished his landing force ashore and
had placed a guard about the French
legation.
Admiral CapterOn's force was in
creased by the arrival of 100 marines
from Guantanamo on the collier ia
son. In all he has available between
between 400 and 500 men for shore
duty, backed up by tbs guns of the
cruiser. No arrangements had been
made to send him additional marines,
although HIS first report asked for a
full regiment.
The French cruiser Descartes reach
ed Port au Prince from Cape Haitien
today. A small force from the United
States survey yacht Eagle was landed
at Cape Hatien to guard the French
consulate, which had opened it's doors
to refugees from Port au Prince.
No advices have reached here re-
garding status of the government
in Haiti since the assassination of Pres
ident Guillaume 1t is assumed the
rebels are in control.

London.-The anniversary of wars
occupying Warsaw, said to be part of
their programme. However, news of
this climax to the Austro-German Of
fensive in the east is expected hourly,
for what little information is allowed
to leak through declares the Russians
for several days have been withdrawing
to the Brest line, leaving small forces
to fight rear guard actions SO that
the main armies may make good their
retreat.
These rear guard actions have devel-
oped into fairly large battles, as the
Russians, whose steadiness has been
phenomenal in the face of defeat, are
offering stubborn resistance, and deliv-
ering powerful counter-attacks. They
have prevented Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg from throwing more of his
troops across the Narew, repulsed
German attacks northwest Of Warsaw
and driven back to the river some Of
the invading troops who crossed the
Vistula south of Warsaw.

TWO U. S. SAILORS KILLED
Sniping at American Landing Party
Around Port-au-Prince, Haiti,
Continues.-Disarm Natives.

Westinghouse killed two
American sailors in Port-au-Prince,
Haiti, on the night of July 20, and
Rear Admiral William B. Caperton
thereupon decided to assume military
control of the government Of the Hai-
tien capital in precisely the same fash
ion as the American forces took over
the government of Vera Cruz ssess
Five hundred additional marines
left Philadelphia on the battleship
Connecticut July 80, giving Admiral
Caperton a total land force Of 700 ma
rines, with reinforcements from the
jackies of 700 more men If necessary.
Every Haitien within reach is being
disarmed by the American forces and
the occupancy of the city seems now
to be of as permanent character IN
every way as was that Of Vera Cruz.
The two American sailors were
killed during a raid conducted at 8
o'clock on the night of the 29th. The
Haitien raiders came upon the Amer
lean forces from the outskirts of the
town. Rear Admiral Caperton got
wind of the intended attack at 8
o'clock in the afternoon, and deployed
his men about the town. The Hal
tien fire was vigorously answered and
soon ended, but not before the two
sailors had been killed.
The sailors are William Gompers,
seaman; next of kin, Mrs. Sophie Com
pers, 107 Stockton Street, Brooklyn,
N. Y. Cason S. Whitehurst, ordinary
seaman; next of kin, Cason M. White
hurst, COS Clay Avenue, Norfolk, Va.
It is believed here that the Haitiens
will probably continue their snlplng,
as they did at Vera Cruz, but it is eX"
pected that Rear Admiral Caperton
will easily be able to discourage them
in this practice in a few days by drop
ping an occasional shell at odd inter
walls from the big guns OF the Wash
ington into the woods about the city
where the snipers appear to be in hid

BRITISH SHIP IBERlAN OF LEY
LAND LINE SENT TO THE BOT
TOM BY SUBMARINE.
VESSEL TRIED TO ESCAPE
German Commander Opens Fire With
She'll When lberian Captain Dis
regarded Signal to Stop-Five
Crew Members Killed.

London.-The Leyland liner Iberian,
flying the British flag, bound from Liv-
erpool for Boston with cargo Of gen.
eral merchandise, has been sunk in the
war zone by a German submarine.
Five members of her crew were killed
by shell fire as she attempted to escape
after being hailed by the submarine.
Two others, one an American, Mark
Wiley of Boston, died in a small boat
from superficial wounds and shock.
The rest, 81 in all, were landed at
Queenstown.
According to official advices, the
Iberian was fired upon only after she
tried to run away from the undersea
boat The men abroad were given am
pie time to take to the boats. Then
the submarine fred a torpedo and the
liner sank almost Immediately.
She was a vessel of 5,223 tons and
had been employed in carrying horses
and mules from American ports to
England.
The first news of the sinking of the
Tberian was received here in dispatch
which stated the survivors were being
brought into Queenstown by a trawler,
which had picked them up after the
submarine disappeared. Later they
landed at the Irish port and Consul
Frost took charge of the surviving
Americans among the crew, of whom
there were &c. Statements by the men
and the ship surgeon, DR.. Burns, were
to the effect that the commander of the
submarine had ordered the Iberian
to halt and had opened fire from deck
guns only after the liners skipper had
ordered full speed ahead, and had be-
gun to trace zig-zag course in an
effort to make his shop loose from the
trailing submarine.

BECKER GOES TO DEATH
Former New York Police Lieutenant
Pays Penalty for Conspiracy to
Murder Gambler Rosenthal.

Ossining, N. Y-Charles Becker
paid the penalty July 80 for instigat-
ing the murder three years ago OF
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. He
was electrocuted in Sing Sing prison
one hour after sunrise. Life left his
body at Sat o'clock, two minutes aft
er the electric current was turned on.
He died with across IN his hands.
His last words were, Jesus, have
mercy on me-"
Becker met his death without finch
ing. He entered the death chamber
with two priests at his side. They
were chanting litany. Becker joined
in.
He walked steadily to the death
chamber, and, taking his seat, glanced
sQuarely into the eyes of the witnesses
for brief moment. Then he con-
tinued the chant, "Have mercy on US,
have mercy on us!"
While the strops were being adjust
ed the priests chanted a prayer which
Becker repeated phrase by phrase. In
it he consigned his soul to the AL
mighty.
Becker received the electric shock
in the midst Of the prayer. One min
ute later a second shock was sent
through his body and the physicians
pronounced him dead.
In dying declaration given out just
before he was carried from his cell to
the death chamber Becker asserted
that he was inAocent of the crime for
which he had been convicted and for
which he was to pay the penalty.

IS NOW ENDURANCE ! WAR
Premier AsquitA Tells '9ariia,hersr
Struggle Will Last Long Time.
Gives Russia Hiqh Praise.

London.-The war has become and
is likely to continue for some time a
contest of endurance, Premier AS
quith told the House Of Commons
while making general review in mos-
ing the adjournment of Parliament
from July 20 until September IA.
The premier remarked:
1--WE should be ungrateful and in
sensible indeed if we did not recog-
nize at this moment the indescribably
gallant efforts being made by our Rus
sian allies to stem the tide of inva-
sion and to retain inviolate the integ-
rity of their possessions.
II don't think in the whole of mill
tary history there has been a more
magnificent example of discipline and
endurance and of both individual and
collective initiative than has been
shown by the Russian army in the last
seven weeks.
"Our new allies-Italy-ar with
carefully prepared movements, stead
lily gaining ground, making their way

lieve in very short time will be with
in their reach"
The British feet was today far
stronger, the premier continued, than
at the beginning Of the war.
"After all,' said the premier, "this
submarine menace, serious as 1t has
appeared to be, is not going to inf1ict
fatal or substantial injury on British
trade. The seas are clear. We have
our supplies of food and raw materi-
ais, upon which we and the rest OF the
country depend, flowing upon us In
the same abundance and with the
same freedom; and may say without
much exaggeration, Judging from the
insurance rates and other matters,
with the same immunity from serious
hazards and risks as in times OF
peace"

MExICANS TRAMPLE FLAG
Stars and Stripes Thrown in Dust and
U. S. Message Bearer Arrested

Allen Mallory, an American citizen
carrying dispatches, had been arrested
and threatened with death, and that a
reign of terror" exists in the Mexican
capital
The dispatch to the State Depart
ment says:
ALLEN Mallory, citizen of the United
States, % years Of age,s'was assaulted
by Zapatistas while carrying corre-
spondence between Puebla and Mexico
City. He was riding in an automobile
flying the American flag. He was ac-
companied by the son of the Chilean
minister, a Swiss citizen and Spanish
subjects. The Spaniards were re-

pieces. Mallory was taken to Mexico
City, where he was informed by Zapa-
tistas that he would be shot if he made
further disturbance.
There is an absolute reign of ter
ror as far as legal responsibility is
concerned"
The State Department assumes that
Mallory was carrying dispatches from
American officials in Mexico City to
Vera Cruz. If it is proved that he had
dispatches from the Brazilian minister
for the State Department, it would be
a high aggravation of the case, al
though the insult to the flag could
not be exceeded as an indignity to
the United States.
