aboard and primed fully as to engine

man merchant submarine Deutschland
remained moored to .her pier at Locust
point this forenoon at the close of ac-
tivities indicating final preparations for
her starting on her return voyage to
Germany.
No official reason could be ascertained
for the delay, but it was assumed that
the tide was not high at it's morning
flood stage. This was due to a strong
adverse wind blowing down the river
and bay. The next high tide occurs be-
tween 7 and o'clock tonight
Unusual precautions were taken to
protect the Deutschland from possible
harm from above or below the surface.
The channel from the submarines slip
to the main channel was thoroughly
swept by a drag suspended on a long
line between the tug Thomas F. Tim
Minis and a launch and the United
States coast guard cutter Wissahickon

THE PRINCIPAL ISSUE
Pleased That Their Candidate Will
Make Campaign on What They
Believe Democratic Weakness.

Republican politicians Of the
House of Representatives are
clearly satisfied with the speech
of acceptance delivered by Judge
Hughes at Carnegie Hall in New
York last night The fact that
the Mexican situation stands out
above other issues is taken on
Capitol Hill to indicate that a
live and vital issue is to be made
of this point during the coming
campaign. AS one member of
the House pointed out, that
question is very interesting one
in states from which thousands
of guardsmen have been sent to
the border.
Taken all In all. republicans seem to
be extremely gratif1ed by the utter
ances of their leader; and, on the other
hand, the democrats have the attitude
today of believing the worst is over
While several of them look on the Mex
lean situation as the most dangerous
spot in their record. they believe that
the democratic record in other respects
is far too good to be hurt by the line
of attack outlined in the Hughes
speech.
Mexican Policy Important Issue.
Judge Hughes clearly indicates the
line of advance in the republican cam
paign," said Representative John j.
Esch of Wisconsin. q member of the
republican congressional campaign
committee "It shows that the Mexi-
can question is to be a campaign issue
That question is live and vital one
in many parts of the country, especially
in states where large numbers of ma

ner, not getting anywhere at all, and
1t will be the best thing that could
happen to us to initiate and carry on

The speech hits the Mexican fail

Cary of Wisconsin. and is good in
avery other respect, too. The speech
certainly ought to wake up the coun-

FOREST FIRES RAGING
IN PART Of MICHIGAN

DETROIT, Mich. August 1.-The
most severe forest fires in several
years. covering considerable area.
are raging in the northern part of
lower Michigan, according to advices
received here. The flames are making
considerable headway in Kalkaska,
Crawford, Antrim and Otsego coun-
ties, where the timber lands are re-
ported to be very dry as the result of
the continued hot weather and the lack
of rain.
In Antrim county. where the line of
fire extends about twelve miles, two
lumber camps already have been
wiped out. One lumber company has
lost several big log wheels and a score
of fiat cars.
Carloads Of Timber Burned.
The Antrim Iron Company reports the
loss of several hundred carloads of
timber. Lumber companies every
where in the affected region have
called upon their employees to fight the
flames.
Members of the 33d Regiment. Michi-
gan National Guard, encamped at
Grayling, Crawford county. have been
detailed almost daily to fight fires that
at times threatened to endanger the
camp.
No estimate has been made by the
fire wardens department as to the
amount Of damage 30 far caused by
the fires. No loss Of life has been re-
ported.

Presidents Friends Say Re-
publican Candidate Has Not
Worried Them a Bit.
''C0MPLETE LAY-DOWN,"
is BURLESON VERDICT
Democratic Leaders Say Administra.
tion's Policies Are Criticised With
out Any Suggestion for Relief.

Democratic visitors to the
White House today were sub
stantially unanimous that the
speech of Charles E. Hughes last
night had contributed nothing
new to the campaign. and that
the republican candidate for
President must find something
else # he wants to alarm the
democrats or give them worry.
They pointed out that Mr.. Hughes
does not raise a single new issue or
drive home with any appreciable or
unusual force the issues already raised
by Roosevelt. Root, Harding, Borah and
other republican speakers. IF the re-
publicans do not do any better than
this" said one democrat then they
are eternally lost. I do not see how
they are going to find any issues that
are of sufficient concern to the people
to make change against Mr.. Wilson,
but SO far they have done nothing with
the issues they think they have"
Complete Lay-Down,' Says Burleson
Cabinet members were of the same
opinion as other democrats who were
at the White House. On their way
into the cabinet session and when as
sembled around their chieftain thew
were of one accord-that the speech
is not likely to stir serious opposition
to the democrats, and that the plain
truth is the republicans are hard put
for something on which to make their
fight.
Postmaster General Burleson and
Attorney General Gregory were more
outspoken than other cabinet members,
each pointing out that while Mr.
Hughes criticised freely as to Mexico
he failed to say what he would have
done or what he will do if he is
elected The speech is worse than
pussy-footing." said Mr.. Burleson TT
is a complete lay-down. The people
are tired of generalities and expect
candidates to be specific in their prom
ises. Mr.. Hughes does not say what
he would have done in Mexico or what
he will do II he is elected. Generali-
ties are not going to get votes these
right"
Hughes ought to state what he pro-
poses to do. SO that the people may
Judge as between what President Will
son has done and a definite plan by
the republican candidate.
President Wilson did not receive any
visitors before the cabinet met, but
cabinet officers reported that he was
in a most satisfactory frame of mind,
contented with the way things are
going and having little fear that the
republican orators will be able to con-
hof he

An appeal to President Wilson tn
support a suffrage amendment to the
federal Constitution was made today by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. president of
the National American Woman's Suf-
frage Association, and Mrs. Frank NJ
Roessing, vice president of the orRant-

the democratic and republican candi-
dates for President apparently occu-

The national suffrage organization
Is partisan" Mrs. Roessing added
"and therefore we are neither fighting
