At conference held September JU

report, which, in substance, was that
Mr.. Hughes had assured the "spe-
cial committee" (OLeary and his as
sociates) that he had sent con-
gratulatory telegram to Colonel
Roosevelt on the occasion of the
coloners Lewiston, Me-, speech, be-
fore he tMr. Hughes) had actually
read the address. According to
O'Leary, the democratic statement
said, Mr.. Hughes had simply glanced
over the newspaper headlines and
comments and felicitated Colonel
Roosevelt upon what apparently was
great republican utterance."

Christiania (Via London), Oct. %.
The German minister has presented
to the Norwegian a note protesting
against Norway's embargo on the sub
marines Of belligerent countries. The
cabinet discussed the note, but its de-
cision has not been made public.
The press unanimously supports the
government in its right to issue such
an ordinance, as Sweden has already
done.
Note Serious One.
London, Oct. 23.--Dr. Alfred Zim-
norman, the German under secretary
for foreign affairs, is quoted by the
Norwegian correspondent of the
Copenhagen Aftenposten as declaring
that the German note to the Norweg-
ian government is a serious one, con-
tending that Norway's action conflicts
with paragraph IS of The Hague con-
vention and is incompatible with strict
neutrality, and furthermore that Ger
many will not calmly submit to such
action.
During the continuance Of the nego-
tiations, the correspondent adds. many
German submarines are operating off
the Norwegian coast and are stopping
and examining vessels leaving Nor
wegian harbors.

Would Not Know What to Do
With Things Prayed For

According to Burd F. Miller, if the
prayers which are sent forth by in
dividuals throughout the world were
to be answered, we would need more
lunatic asylums than we could build.
because they are so selfish in their
nature that chaos alone could result
from their qualification.
He said that mine out OF ten men
would not know what to do with the
things they ask for in their prayers,
and that II some of them were to be
answered the shock would drive them
to insanity or kill them. The Lords
Prayer might we'll be studied by all
with good results, as no one who un-
derstood anything of its nature could
find anything selfish in It.
1.-THE great trouble is" said he,
few understand this group of sacred
words and therefore we hear them
spoken mechanically and with little
reverence. But with the Theosophist
this Is not so, because he is searching
within himself for that which always
responds to the highest in nature"

terances, which position has hereto
fore been condemned by us in con-
terence and convention, as inconsist-
ent with American ideals and Ameri-
can history.
Committee Chosen.
Under the circumstances we desire
to call the attention of Mr.. Hughes
that Mr.. Roosevelt, actuated by race
prejudice and desire to serve Brit
ish interests, designedly attacked
large part OF the American people,
while he did not mention any of the
flagrant arrogant and continual trans
gressions upon American rights by
Great Britain. -
we, therefore, designated Carl E.
Schmidt, Will R. Macdonald, Jere-
miah A. O'Leary and Frank Sober
Itch as our representatives to place
before Mr.. Hughes this document, and
we further respectfully request and
empower them to secure from Mr..
Hughes definite statement for the
benefit of broad and liberal Ameri-
canism that has been offended by
the British propaganda, creating as
it does racial antagonism in our coun-
try with resultant destruction and sur
render of American rights, whether
or not he will administer the presi-
dency of the United States in ac-
cordance with the spirit OF the fathers
and the whole American people, in
stead of at the behest of present day
tories, materialists and war partisans
who proclaim the fatal doctrine that
American patriotism is British sub
serviency, and the spirit of 76' is a
treasonable hyphenism.
10 this document, we, the under
signed, representing various organs,
individuals, constituents and interests
throughout the United States, affix
our names as an indication of our ap-
proval OF those we represent"
O'Leary was shown a copy of the
charges made by the democratic com.
mittce at the close of an address he
made here tonight, in which he de-
uounced the Wilson administration.
He expressed surprise and at first said
he had nothing to say" Later, how
ever, when asked if he had ever dis
cussed the British blacklist with Mr..
Hughes, he said:
II never did submit any such uues-
ton to Charles E. Hughes"
O'Leary refused to- discuss the
statement further.
