GREAT BRITAIN DEFENDS
THE SEIZURE OF SHIPS
England Explains Action, but Does Not
Answer United States Protest on
Holding American Vessels.

Washington, June 26.-Lord Crewe's
memorandum to Ambassador Page,
dealing with the complaint Of deten-
ton Of American cargoes bound for
neutral ports, was made public on
Thursday by the state department.
State department officials would not
comment on the memorandum. In the
opinion Of experts on international
law who have followed the controversy
between the two governments, the
memorandum is not Of a character to
afford much satisfaction 1t holds out
little expectation of material relief to
American commerce from the hard
ships inflicted upon it by British regu-
lations and violation of the principles
of international law as pointed out by
the United States in it's note Of
March 80.
In his note of transmittal, Ambas-
sador Page says that the memoran-
dunn is not intended as an answer to
the principles set forth in the note
of March 80, but merely an "explana-
tion of concrete cases and the regula-
lions under which they are dealt with"
The British memorandum made pub
lie Thursday contains distinct denial
of certain rights for which the United
tends. So to an extent at least it
must be taken as an answer to that
note

Mr.. WILSON is WARNED
TO HALT HIS LAB0RS
Complete Rest Is Doctors Decree for
the President-ToiIs on Two
Great Problems.

Cornish, N. H., June 2S.-Under or
ders from his physician to take COM
plete rest President Wilson settled
down at the summer White House on
Friday for brief vacation to prepare
himself for the arduous work he is ex-
pecting within the next few months in
handling European and Mexican prob
lens
The president brought few official
documents. Officials at the White
House in Washington had orders to
forward him only the most pressing
business, but he plans to give much
thought, in the seclusion Of the Cornish
hills, to the next step in the Next
can policy, to the submarine issues
with Germany and to the discussion
with Great Britain over interference
with commerce between the United
States and neutral nations of Europe.
Secretary Lansing will do most of
the actual work on the note to Great
Britain now being prepared, but the
president has already gone over with
him the broad questions of policy in
volved, and will see the note before it
is officially forwarded to London. He
read with deep interest during the day
unofficial forecasts from Berlin that
there was a possibility of Germany's
submarine warfare being modified, but
refused to comment.

The PoIymuriel Garment.

Some ladies in New York are at
work just now hunting for the philoso-
piers stone. They claim to believe
that "polymuriel" garment in femi-
nine dress can be designed that will
suitably clothe every type of figure,
every age, for every occasion, every
day, from getting up to going to bed,
from the period when the girl first
comes out of the nursery till she goes
to her grave.
The philosopher never found the
mythical stone that could turn every
thing to gold. Clothes problems, like
the poor, will be with us always. There
are ways and means of eliminating
some of the problems, and it is pos
sible to reduce all fractions except the
vulgar fractions" of mathematics to
their lowest terms.
But it is a foolish waste of time,
and energy to hunt for the impossible.
And it is impossible to find one style.
of dress suitable for everybody.
Nobody who is fastidious wishes to
wear one costume from early morning
till late at night. There is a positive
psychological benefit in the bath and
change of toilet that separate the
working hours of the day from the
hours Of relaxation. Not even two Cor
a collection of "polymuriels" that
could be worn alternately would solve,
our clothes needs. Suitable clothes
for street and travel and business are
not suitable for indoor wear-Belle

HMOvIES" IN THE CHURCHES
Called silent Sermons and Have Be-
come Exceedingly Popular IN
Numerous Sections

Hundreds of churches throughout
the country are now equipped with
all the machinery used for giving NOV
ing picture shows. The church movie,
which has aptly been called the ST.
lent sermon, is proving great sue
cess in attracting large congregations
A great variety Of special INNS
have been prepared suitable Tor sdcn
use. and clergyman In selecting q
subject to his taste finds surprising
variety TO choose from. There are
films suitable for sermons on all the
commandments, as well as many OF
the most familiar texts in the BLDG
Several of the firms making speclai'
ty of such films issue regular cata-
logues to assist clergymen in select
ing silent sermons.
In scores of churches the projecting
machines are part Of the church furnl-
ture. The rigid laws laid down by
the fire departments apply as well 10
churches as to theaters and the ma
chimes must be set up in fireproof me-
tallic rooms. The electric wiring Is
arranged so that the sermon may be
turned on conveniently in the main
church auditorium or the lecture or
chapter rooms.
The screens and the rest OF the
equipment are of the usual standard
type. Many of the film houses which
supply churches have small theaters
or exhibition rooms where clergy
man may have a trial exhibition of a
silent sermon before definitely order
ing 1t.
The film sermons are rented out at
q regular rate, according to their
length and the nature of the produc-
ton. In producing these silent SER
mons regular church service is fol-
lowed, consisting of the singing Of
hymns, prayers and reading of the
lesson. The films are carefully timed
to fit into the place assigned them.
Some of the catalogues of silent SER
mons suggest church services to ac-
company them, giving the numbers OF
appropriate hymns and Scriptural les
sons.

Victor In Peugeot Captures Big Prize
When He Travels 500 Miles in
5:O7:27-No accidents Mar
Big Contest.
HOW RACERS FINISHED

Speedway Park, Chicago, June 29.-
Dario Resta, Italian motor racer, is
the speed king of the world. He drove
an automobile for 500 miles at pace
faster than it was ever driven before.
He shattered world records, won
prizes aggregating $4,000, fought his
way to supremacy over twenty rivals,
and crossed the tape an easy winner
of Chicago's first auto derby, which
was held on Saturday.
The performance opened the fastest,
safest automobile race track in the
world-the Chicago speedway.
In his Peugeot French racing car,
Resta travelled the 500 miles in five
hours, seven minutes and twenty-sev-
en- seconds. His average rate of speed
throughout the race was 97.6 miles an
hour.
Once in a hair-raising squirt that
spread the silence of fear over S5,OOO
spectators, he circled the two-mile
course at a speed of 107 miles an
hour
Every one of the ten winning cars
that followed Resta to the finish line
made better time than the worlds rec
ord established at the Indianapolis
speedway on Memorial day by Ralph
De Palma.
Porporato, another native of the
land that once held all the high speed
chariot records, finished second. He
drove a hard race in his English rae
ing car, the Sunbeam special. Travel
ing at the rate of 96.5 miles an hour,
he devoured the 500 miles in five
hours, ten minutes and fifty seconds.
He won the second prize Of $4,000.
The first American to receive the
checkered flag was Rickenbacher, who
sent his American-made racer, a Mex
we'll special, across the line for third
place. An average rate of 95.8 miles
an hour brought the foremost Amer1-
can racer $4,000 prize money.
Grant, in another Sunbeam car,
earned fourth place and prize with
wonderfully maintained speed of 95.6
miles per hour. In making his remark
able endurance drive, Grant stopped
not once at the pits This veteran of
the speed course stopped neither for
gasoline, tires, repairs, water nor food.
With his gas tanks empty in the
last half of the last lap of the long
grind, he coasted in across the line
and smashed the worlds nonstop COM
petitive record. The performance is
startling 10 all motordom.
Earl Cooper and Gil Anderson, in
their Stutz bulldog, finished fifth and
sixth with respective averages of 94.9
and 94.4 miles per hour.
The Sebring, which was the last car
in the money, travelled the distance at
an average speed of s0.3 miles an
hour, higher by mile than the old
worlds record
Neither death nor injuries to either
racers or spectators occurred

TREATY VIOLATED,
TENOR OF j. S. NOTE
Demands That Berlin Pay for
Loss of Frye.
NOT A PRIZE COURT CASE
American Government Insists That
Real Question Is Amount of Repara-
tion-Wants Case Taken From
the Tribunal.

Washington, June 30.-In note to
Germany made public on Monday by
the state department in the case of the
William P. Frye, the American vessel
destroyed by the Prince Eitel Fried
rich, this government maintains that
Germany has violated treaty obllga-
ton by destroying the vessel and de-
mands payment from Germany.
The following direct statement or
the attitude of the United States is
made by Secretary of State Lansing,
who signed the note:
1.-THE real question between the two
governments Is what reparation must
be made for breach of treaty obli-
cations and that is not question
which falls within the jurisdiction of
the prize court"
Secretary of State Lansing points
out to Germany that she previously
admitted under the treaties of 1893
and 1929 her responsibility for the
sinking of the Frye. He tells Ger
many that she now justifies the sink
ing under those Two treaties and that
because the treaties do not provide
a way for paying indemnities the Ger
man foreign office has decided that
the case must be referred to a prize
court.
In reply to these two positions of
the German foreign Office Lansing as
serts that the treaties do not justify
the sinking of the Frye and denies
that the German prize court has any
Jurisdiction over the question of the
amount of indemnity to be paid by the
imperial German government on &C
count of the admitted liabilities for
the destruction of an American vessel
on the high seas"
The state department declares that
1t will not be bound by any decision
of the German prize court and re1t-
crates that this ''is a matter for ad-
justment by direct diplomatic discus
sion between the two governments"
Officials who have read the note say
that it is the strongest document that
has yet been sent across the water
In the assertion of the rights of Amer
lean commerce.
The statements of the present note
are direct They deny point blank
the validity of the new contentious
of the German foreign offices and put
the question on the high plane OF
violation or nonviolation of a solemn
treaty between the two governments.
Some officials think that Germany
will now gracefully surrender to the
American argument, return the case
into the diplomatic channels and
pay up.
Dispatches to the state depart
ment from Ambassador Gerard indi-
cate that good feeling is prevailing in
Germany as to the character Of the
reply which should be made to the
United States on Americas last note
on the submarine warfare question.
1t is expected that Germany will agree
with the United States on its under
standing of the broad principles of hui
manitv which should govern even re-
taliatUry warfare, but that she will
insist on a quid pro quo from the
English government to be obtained by
this government.
