BRAVERY AND SKILL SAVED
THE ANGLO-CALIFORNIAN
Captains Son Takes Fathers Place
When Commander Is Blown
From Bridge.

QUEENSTOWN, July 6.-The British
steamer Anglo Californian, from Mon
treal. which steamed into this harbor
yesterday with nine dead sailors
stretched on her deck, eight men lying
wounded below and her sides riddled
with shot and she'll. withstood for four
hours the attack Of German sub
marine.
The ships escape from destruction
was accomplished with no other means
of defense than the indomitable spirit
Of her captain and crew, combined with
mastery seamanship, which enabled
her to Illustrate the efforts Of her as
sailant to torpedo her.
The story Of how Capt. Parslow stood
on the bridge of the eAnglo-Californian
amid a rain of shot and calmly di-
rected the movements of his ship until
he was killed by a shell, and Of how
his place was taken by his son until
British destroyers appeared and the
submarine was compelled to flee, was
told by the survivors.
Americans Among the Crew.
MONTREAL. July 6. - Fifty Ameri-
cans and Canadians We're among the
crew of ninety five aboard the Anglo
Californian. Some of the Americans
were: r. L. Martin, Boston; George
Rogers. Richmond, Va; w. J. Feeney.
Newport News. Va: John Vaughan.
Newport News, Va: George Price.
Woodstock, VT; John Mahoney, New
mort News, and L. G. Carroll, Syracuse,
n. Y.
When the European war started the
Anglo-Californian was in San Francis
CO and narrowly escaped capture oy
the German cruiser Leipsic. Since then
she has made frequent trips from the
United States to England. This spring
she made five trips from Newport News
with horses aboard.
Rights Apparently Not Violated.
In the attack by a German submarine
on the Anglo-Californian there was
apparently no violation of American
rights. according to government Of
ficials. since the officers of the vessel
admitted their attempt to escape.
If any Americans were killed, officials
held that the case was parallel to that
Of the British steamer Armenian. on
which number of Americans lost their
lives
Continued efforts of a merchantmen
to escape, when ordered to heave to by
a hostile war vessel, places neutrals
aboard outside of the protection of
their home government. according to
the rules of international law.

A Woman Shot as a Spy.

This war is bringing new develop.
ments and some startling changes of
custom. The latest innovation is the
execution of a woman as spy by
the German authorities in Brussels.
Apparently the sex of this offender
against the German regulations made
no difference whatever in her treat
ment. She was an Englishwoman in
charge of a training school in the
Belgian capital, and was charged with
harboring British and French mill
tary fugitives and Belgians of mill
tary age and enabling them to escape
to the allied lines. For this she was
shot to death, so the American en-
bassy now notifies the foreign Office
at London. There is no ground for
protest, because technically the
woman was guilty. of a capital offense
judged from a wartime standpoint.
But her execution nevertheless will
shock humanity.

Censorship.

The Navy Department is now prae-
ticing at censorship. The art of CEN
sorship is one of the related arts of
war and the efficient exercise of it
requires human intelligence and horse
sense. These are qualifications which
are said to have been lacking in
some censorships and censors.
The United States Navy is playing
a war game somewhere off the At
lantic coast. Many warships are at
sea, extensive mine fields have been
theoretically planted, great fleet OF
merhant ships has been comman-
deered and loaded with supplies, and
close to the coast submarines lie in
wait for enemy ships. In spite of all
this activity the censorship of the
Navy Department is so rigid that no
information concerning all this is al
lowed to reach the public excepting
through official bulletins.
National defense calls for effective
censorship. In other wars American
censorship has been defective in that
information useful, Or of possible use,
to the enemy has been permitted to
escape. Censorship that fulhlls its
object without keeping from the peo-
pie at home information to which
they are entitled and which can be
of no possible advantage to the
enemy, or information of which the
enemy is already in possession, is a
fine art, and this is more apt to be
found in men with a news training
than in men without such training.
The British are having troubles
with their censorship, and they are
applying to it the word stupid" 1t
is very easy for censors to fall into
stupidity. Important English news
papers are charging that the press
of Germany and Italy is publishing
news concerning British operations
that is withheld from the British
press, and some of the English papers
are saying that while the legitimate
function of censorship is to blind
England's enemies and not England
herself, that function is not being
creditably performed.

The New Summer White House.

The President is undoubtedly wise
in his decision to establish his Sum-
mer White House" next season in
New Jersey rather than in New
Hampshire. He will be much nearer
Washington in his state than at Cor
nish-less than halt, as far away from
the capital, in fact. 1t is to be ex-
pected that he will spend more time
than usual away from this city next
summer in the change of personal cir
cumstances, and it will be highly i'm
portant for him to keep in close touch
with the official White House in this
city throughout the season. Next
year the campaign will be in full
swing, and as he is the virtually as
sured candidate of his party it will
be important for him to be always
within easy reach of his main Office.
Incidentally, he will be near New
York, where most of the campaign
work usually centers. The point that
he has selected offers him exceptional
advantages for comfort, and as much
isolation as President can ever hope
to secure. incidentally, and perhaps
chiefly, the change from Cornish to
Elberon will bring the President into
his own state of New Jersey, which
will not be politically inappropriate
in the course of the great national
canvass

so" while passing throush the Presi-
dents process.
Such is not the opinion in WASH
ington, or in the country generally.
The Presidents advocacy of prepar-
edness is accepted as an earnest and
complete change Of opinion. Last
winter he seemed to side with the
millennialists. He did not favor, or
he might have secured from Con-
gress, large appropriations for the
army and navy. But much has hap
pened since then to convert man
carrying his immense official respon-
sibi1ities; and, unless the public is
misadvised, he has been converted.
And there are others. Many men in
high Office, republicans as we'll as
democrats, do not stand now as to
the national defense on the ground
they occupied twelve, or even six,
months ago.
The President has yet to define
his position-show the extent of his
conversion. Nobody has quoted him
as to how many men should be added
to the army, or how many ships to
the navy. He is expected to make
the matter clear and unmistakable
when he addresses Congress, which
will look to him for recommends
ton.
When he speaks. the President will
become, so far as Congress is con-
cerned, the leader of the prepared
ness cause. This is conceded by the
democrats who are opposed to much
larger appropriations for either the
army or the navy. Mr.. Kitchin, who
is one of these, and will be the leader
of the House majority, comedies it,
and expresses the belief that Con-
gress will vote what the President
recommends. But, as republicans are
to assist with the program, the Presi-
dent, were he to permit his activity
to take the form of a political ma
neuver, might injure himself as we'll
as his cause.

Republicans and the Senate.

The announcement for the Senate
of former Gov. Hadley of Missouri,
followed by the suggestion thai Mr..
Knox of Pennsylvania may seek the
toea again. will attract attention as
showing that practically all OF the
republican leaders figuring in presi-
dental speculation figure also IN
senatorial speculation. Observe:
Mr.. Weeks of Massachusetts,, Mr..
Smith of Michigan, Mr.. Sherman OF
Illinois, Mr.. Borah of Idaho ard Mr..
Cummins OF Iowa are now members
of the Senate, each with good pros
pects of remaining there if fortune
next year goes outside the Senate
for the republican candidate to OPP
pose Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Root, Mr.. Burton and Mr.. Fair
banks have been members OF the
Senate. and achieved so much repu-
tation there. expressions since they
left wishing for their return have
often been heard. Each in Office was
of great service to his party; and
when Mr.. Fairbanks took the chair
as Vice President he repeated, gavel
in hand. his success on the floor. He
proved to be as good presiding OF
hcer as debater.
The Senate in the near future is
going to afford increased opportuni-
ties for usefulness and distinction. 1t
is going to be the scene of some
strenuous activities. More than ever,
it is going to be the refuge of the
minority. True, there is talk OF elo-
ture, and some men predict that elo-
ture is coming, and almost at hand.
But even in that event the minority
will have innings worth while in the
Senate. 1t will never be possible to
control debate there as completely as
it is controlled in the House.
Within the past two years some no
table things have been done in the
Senate. A tariff bill, crude in many
particulars, was taken in hand after
the House had passed it, and put into
much improved shape. The same is
true as to a currency measure. The
Senate's work on that found gen.
eral acceptance in business circles.
And while the new trust regulations
are criticised in corporation circles.
it is agreed that the Senate reetifled
some things which in their House
form would have been still harder
for business to bear.
The House, being large body. with
much work to do, does its work I'M
der high pressure, and in that way
increases the Importance of the Sem
ate. For some years the coffee has
been getting hotter and hotter, and
the need OF the saucer-as Washing
ton called the Senate-greater and
