to the finish to have the amend
ments declared unconstitutional.
Bone and The Times propose to
see If the Washington supreme
court will interpret the law in the
same broad, humane manner as
did the California supreme court.
This court stated, in effect:
The mothers pension fund is
a public fund for the benefit of
children of the state. 1t cannot
be withheld from the children OF
divorced mothers any more than
free public education can be with
held from these children"
1t stated that the purpose of
the law was to aid the mother
who had had thrust upon her the
burden of caring for her little
brood in keeping the family to-
gether, instead of paying to chill
drens' homes and other "institu-
tons $40 month for their care,

Therefore, just as the children
of a divorced or deserted mother
cannot cut off from the benefits
of the public schools, so the chill
dren of a deserted or divorced
mother cannot be cut off from
the benefits of the pension law.

The campaign was explained by

Hearty applause greeted their re-

To aid in the fight, Bone re-
quested today that all mothers
whose children have been cut off
from the benefits of the law in

FEAR CONSEQUENCES

WASHINGTON; d. c., Aug. 10.
The state department took inn
mediate steps to ascertain wheth-
err any Americans persisted aboard
the Arabic. The officials were
visibly perturbed,. especially by
the reports of some loss of life.
No information had been re-
ceived at an early hour this aft
ernoon whether any. of the vic
Tins were Americans.
1t was admitted that the sink
ing might develop a serious stu
alton if it was found that Ameri-
cans were aboard, and that the
liner had been sunk without warn
ing.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The

an official OF the White Star Of
flee said today, including 80 steer
age passengers. There were no
first-class passengers aboard.
1t was pointed out at the steam
ship offices that the Arabic was
outbound and that the Germans
had ample time in which to de-
termine whether there We're any
Americans aboard before sinking
her. The sinking of the Arabic
was a shock to the officials. The

TOTAL LOSS MAYBE 400

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 10.
While every effort was being
made today to penetrate the
storm-stricken region of Texas, Il
became evident that the casual
ties of the terrific gulf hurricane
cannot be accurately determined
for days.
Probably 800. perhaps 500,
have been lost in all.

In Galveston and surrounding
coast cities, and the death roll is
hourly growing as the reports
come In from smaller cities ana
towns. The demoralized COM
munication has made the casting
up Of total most difficult.
The laundering of the craft in
Galveston harbor has resulted in
the greatest loss of life. Forty
boats with crews of. at least 900
are missing and probably lost.
Unconfirmed reports reaching
here today Of whole villeges
along the coast being wiped out,
tend to indicate that the casnal-
tiles will run into the thousands.
but 1t is believed that the inhabit-
ants of most Of these towns have
been saved and that the loss Of
life Is much less than reported.

RUSSIAN
CAPITAL

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The
], evacuation Of Brest-LitOvsk
and the Russian southern
front. may be forced within i
fortnight owing To the neces-
sity Of the Grand Duke Mich
oIas'. wheeling his army
n,rthward to defend Petro-
grad. This is the belief ex-
pressed by military critics
here today. s
The evacuation of Brest-Litovsls
may come as the result OF the
capture of Kovno by the forces OF
Won Hindenburg. The Austro-
Germans now are attacking the
defenses of Brest-Litovsk.
The German infantry steadily
is closing in on the fortress base
from the west and southwest, and
siege guns have been brought up
to batter down the Slavs' inner
works.
The capture of Kovno and the
advance on the railroad connect
ing the northern fortress with
Brest-Litovsk threatens the very
safety Of Petrosrad.

CHICAGO. August 1S.-For the pur.
pose of arousinG the nation to the
necessity of american maritime de-
velopment" an organization to be
known. as the National Marine league
is being formed by James E. Forgan
president of the First National Bank. it
was announced today. Representative
business men of the middle west have
been enlisted in the movement and are
seeking to enroll the leaders in the
biggest commercial enterprises in the
country. Plans have been made to
raise campaign fund of $4,000. 1t
is proposed that the central federal
reserve banking district be represented
by 80 members. each Of whom has
been asked to subscribe $3.50. Branch
leagues are to he organized in each of
the twelve federal banking districts.

league proposes to arouse the nation
to the necessity of American maritime
development with the consequent eX-
panSIOn or foreign trade as the great
est factor in increasing the countrys
wealth. Every one is to be taught that
this expansion is :. question of personal
welfare. it is the only trade bring
ing new money into the country.
To Promote Merchant Marine.
Tine National League funds will be
expended in popularizing the convic-
ton of the imperative necessity of an
American merchant marine, to the end
that there shall be created a public de-
mand for the enactment by Congress
OF legislation that will restore the
American flag to a commanding place
in the worlds shipping and make pos
sible this country's maritime develop
ment.
