London, Nov. 3.-The prime min

commons yesterday delivered before
the largest assembly of the year his
widely heralded and much discussed
statement on the progress Of the
war. The premier's speech was q

nature.
Premier Asquith's speech in the
house of commons on the policy and

which he did not disclose much more

Incomplete election returns indi-
cate the election of A. o. Stanley and
the rest of the Democrats by from
5000 to 5000 majority over K. P.
Morrow. Republican: The first re-
turns Tuesday night made claims
that the actual figure did not sup
port. There were heavy losses in
many strong Democratic counties
figuring against the vote Of 1911 and
it looked discouraging at first but
the later reports raised Democratic
hopes and news received late yes
terday was to the effect that STAN
ley was elected by a safe majority.
The Republicans were dying hard
but the verdict was generally ac-
cepted.
The closeness of the vote was due
to the fact that many Democrats vio-
lated primary election pledges and
voted a part of the Republican ticket.
The rest of the Democratic ticket is
probably running close to Stanley,
though figures are lacking in the
other races.
The Legislature is safe in both
branches, with some Republican seats
gained.
Christian county went up in bal
loon and the Republican majority
surpassed all records and went to
2,lSS for Morrow.
C. X. Clark, Republican, has about
2, $50 majority over w. A. Radford,
Democrat, for circuit clerk, and r.

Costly Passenger
Boats Are Used
For Prison Ships

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 10.--"From the point OF
view of the shipping man. the whole his.
tory OF the war so far as the transport
service is concerned Is a wicked story Of
ignorance. ineptitude and colossal waste"
asserts the editor OF Syren and Shipping,
the leading journal of the shipping trade.
He adds:
Costly and useful ships were used for
months as prison ships. Super ships, like
the Auuitania, were employed on scout
ing missions. their magnificent passen-
ger equipment gutted. Ships were allowed
TO load cargo or to book a full passenger
list and then owners were informed that
the admiralty required these boats"
An instance Is given OF 7O0O-ton boat
which was all ready TO sail with 200 pas
sengers when Il was taken over and sent
empty to the west coast OF South Amer
loa, although II might have been loaded
with coal and realized a small fortune.
Another case is given of a 5000 ton boat
at Huelve, about TO load with a cargo
Of iron ore for England. which was reaui-
tltloned suddenly and sent empty to the
Pacific, although there should have been
plenty OF merchant ships available much
nearer the desired destination
How long" asks the journal. will
these methods be tolerated. In the ma
tional interest a committee of shipping
men should have been selected 70 or

POSITION ALREADY DEFINED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-while
the United States will wait for the
Austrian reply TO Ambassador PEN

stances under which the Italian liner
Ancona was sunk, II was stated Off
cially today that the placing OF Amer

high seas was not regarded as ac-
cordlng them place o. safety"
with the meaning of the term as used
in international law.
In its correspondence with Germany
over the Frye case the American gov

boats did not constitute place OF safety.
This was broadened today by an official
Interpretation TO apply to all American
citizens whether travelling on belligerent

Officials qualified their assertions some

stroyed within a few miles OF shore life

weather conditions and the opportunity
given for passengers TO transfer even
then was pertinent.
From these intlmations It was believed
the American government would develop
the entire question of submarine warfare
further In correspondence with Austria
and that even though. as the Austrian
admiralty had declared. forty-five min
utes was given for the passengers and
crew Of the Ancona TO be transferred,
this was not regarded as affording Amer
lean citizens an opportunity to be saved.
The United States has insisted through
out that the operations OF the submarines
shall not jeopardize the lives OF American
citizens and Notwithstanding the formal
denial from Vienna that the Ancona was
shelled after II stopped and the fact that
the ship actually was torpedoed while a
number of passengers still were aboard
is regarded as the chief circumstance
upon which representations will be made.
