EXECUTION OF
DEATH PENALTY
R0UsEs WRATH

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina.-It has
developed that the attempt made to
assassinate President de la Plaza,
while ne was reviewing the centenary
celebration from, the balcony Of gov
eminent house ON July 3, as reported
by cable, had root in tire presidents
recent refusal to- commute the sen.
tence of two men condemned to death
for murder. The assassin, Juan Man
drini, WAC is believed to be of unsoun.i
mind, declares that he believed the
execution of the two men was. "a legal
crime" which he felt called upon to
,avenge. They were the first exeeu-
tons in the Argentine for more than
Is years, and with this exception
President de la Plaza had himself al
ways refused to sign death sentences,
but he refused to interfere in these
two cases because he deemed the MUIR
der wilful one. - 49,. ~. 49,.
The execution has already prompted
opponents of capital punishment to in
troduce in congress a bill to abolish
capital punishment altogether. ~~@
The attempt to kill the president,
of the newly elected radical candidate,
DF. Irigoyer, created great sensation
in the capital. A great military pa.
rade, which was one of the culminat-
ing features of the weeks celebration,
was just concluding in front of govern
ment house, where stands had been
erected for the accommodation of
spectators. On balcony overlooking
these stands appeared the president
with the Brazilian ambassador, DR..
Barbesa, Gu his right and tile Bolivian
DR.. Villazon, on his left,
with various ministers Of state also
in the party. Suddenly man stand
ing on the pavement. below drew a
revolver and fired, shouting, Down
with the autoerat!" The bullet struck
the wall just behind the president.
He paled for a, moment, then calmly
The man has only fired
a blank cartridge" In the meantime
people in the streets fell upon the
assassin and tried to lynch him, but
soldiers rescued him and carried him
off to prison. -. --

HOLLAND PROVE
DISAPPOINTING

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July 81.
The elections for the provincial
state councils of Holland, half of the
members of which retire every three
years, have just been held, and the
results are interesting as giving an
indication of the composition of the
pext first chamber of the Dutch par
lament, the members of which are
nominated by these provincial bodies.
The parties on the left made several
gains, but the parties of the right
maintain the upper with an aggregate
of 312 seats against the 270 held by
their, opponents, which means that
they are assured Of maintaining their
majority in the first chamber. This
is the exact reverse of the position
in the second chamber, where the
general election of 1913 gave the par
ties OF the left the majority upon
which the present extra-parliamentary
cabinet of Cort van der Linden leans
fer its support
The fact that the position of the
provincial councils are made practi-
cally stationary is disappointing one
to the government, for the continued
predominant position of the right in
the first chamber is a check ON their
important legislative program for revi-
SIGN of the constitution, including uni
versal manhood suffrage, the question
OF woman suffrage, compromise on the
educational question and old age pen
sicns.
One marked feature Of the provin-
eial elections has been the progress
of the Socialist party, which won %
seats from the Liberals CT the left
and four from the parties of the right.
The Socialists already hold the bal
ance in the second chamber of parlia.
ment with Is seats out of 100, and
further substantial progress at next
years general election would make
them very strong political force.

VESSELS BUILT
EQUAL Loss BY
WAR

Robert Dollar, wealthy shipowncr
OF the Northwest and president of the
Dollar line, declares. in the last is
sue of the Pacific Marine Review.
that the tonnage afloat at the end OF
the war VIII equal the tonnage when
the war commenced. He says:
THE general impression is that the
ordinary marine losses and destruc.
ton by the war Is leaving the worlds
tonnage very short and when the war
IS over there will be great scarcity
of sllps. have carefully gone over
the figures and find the following 10
be az near right as can be got but
at the present time. This shows
that the public opinion is incorrect in
thinking that there is going to be a
great shortage Of ships at the close
of the war.
"The approximate figures are as
follows:
"The average production OF mer
chant ships Of the shipyards OF the
world for the, past Is years has been
1900, 900 tons, and the average losses
by shipwreck, fire and other marine
casualties and scrapping is 1850, 060
tons, leaving a normal increase per
annum OF 1,150,000 tons. Now, the
merchants ships that have been
built during the second half OF 1914
we're 1,426,326 tons; building 1915,
1,670,254 tons; contracted for to be.
built in 1916, 3,449,30O tons; contracts
have been let for delivery first half
OF 1917. 100000 tons. Total, 1895.

that the same ratio of loss win cor
tinue for one year more, or until July
1917, 1.2s2.6s1 tons. Total, 1876
e43 tons.
Then, during the approximate
duration Of the war. say three years.
the ordinary normal loss from ship
wrecks, etc. will be 100000 tons
Total, 7,9bs,o4S tons.
$50 that at the end of three years
Of the war there will be an apparent
gain OF ss7,ss7 tons.
IF normal conditions had existed
the average increase of the worlds
tonnage of 1.15O.oo0 tons per annum
should be added to this. but as ail
the commerce Of Germany and her
Allies has besB stopped and about.
half OF the Allies' merchant ships are
engaged in the military service Of
their countries. therefore 1t is safe to
figure on no increase; so, figuring IN
round numbers there viii be as many
ships at the end Of the war as when
It started. "

Toward evening Manager Walker

that the park was at their disposal
and that if the conveniences or the

approval that suggestions would be
gratefully received. In the afternoon
the Eichenbroners orchestra de-
lighted the, people with splendid

FRANCO RITISH
LINES ADVANCE
IN SOMME REGION


the outskirts of Estree and Assevillers
carries the advance about six miles be-
yond the point of departure Saturday.
Summing up the French advance
south of the Somme, two main features
are disclosed: First, the occupation for
length of eight kilometres of first
line German trenches from the Somme
to the village of Fay, and including five
villages; secondly, a double line of Ger
man trenches extending from Haracourt
woods to Assevillers. The struggle con-
tinues with intensity. Observers de-
clare that the first three days sue
cesses, while great, are only initial
episodes in the increasing pressure OF
a vast offensive.
The French, advancing on the east Of
Mereaucourt wood, have captured the
Chapitre wood and the village of Feuil-
leres. Further to the south, Assevillers
has been taken by an infantry assault,
according to an official statement is
sued by the war office tonight.
South of Assevillers the French have
taken the second line of German en-
trenchments as far as the outskirts of
Estrees, and have advanced beyond the
second Germon line, where they have
captured the villages of Buscourt and
Flaucourt The total advance at this
section was five kilometers.
