NOT AGAINST NEUTRALS
Action of England Directed Solely
Toward Enemies of Allies.

London. Aug. England regards
as an essential part of any peace con-
ditions the restoration by Germany of
Belgium and Serbia. both materially
and economically, and the repairing of
devastated portions Of France and
Russia, Premier Asquith today de-
clared in speech in commons.
British eyes, the premier said. had
been opened to the full meaning of
the German system of economic, COM
mercial and financial penetration and
it was necessary to prepare to COM
bat this. Asquith asserted that at the
Paris conference of the allies, the
opinion was that the blacklist should
be continued during the war. The
resolution of this conference, he said,
were not directed against neutrals.
I'VE are aware of some uneasiness
in America the premier continued,
"but this is not justified. The allies
measures are their sole defense
against economic aggression. Every
effort will be made to see that neu-
trails do not suffer-"

Support Amendment.
TURNS DOWN KY. INVITATION
Sidesteps Plan to Speak Twen-

Announcement for State Regu-
latiOn Considered Final.

Washington. Aug. 2.-President
Wilson has not changed his position
that the woman suffrage question
should be dealt with by the states, it
was announced today at the White
House. The statement was brought
forth by the announcement yeste rday
of Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
nominee. that he favored an amend

ing the vote to women.
delegation of suffragists saw the
president yesterday and afterward in
dicated they believed he would make
a new statement on the question be-
fore the convention of the National
Women Suffrage association in Sep
TENDER. At that time the policy to be
pursued in the presidential campaign
will be determined by the National
Suffrage organization.
Today Secretary Tumulty discussed
the question with the president and
afterward announced Mr.. Wilson's po-
sition on the subject was unchanged.
This position, as outlined several times
to suffragist delegations within the
last three years, is that while he favors
votes for women, he is opposed to fed
eral action.
Too Much Politics.
The president voted for woman's
suffrage in New Jersey last year. 1t
was indicated that todays announce
ment was final.
Hope for a regular political scrap in
in the blue grass of Kentucky was
also knocked on the head today when
the president declined to make an adj
dress at Winchester, KY, on Septem-
Der at the same time that Hughes
will speak at Lexington, twenty miles
away. The president speaks at Hodg-
inville in memory of Abraham Lincoln
on September 4.
Democratic leaders of Kentucky
wanted the president to stay over and
speak the following day at Wfnches-
ter. Had the president accepted the
latter invitation he would have been

the Republican state campaign a few
miles away in Lexington, city of
$4,000. To get to Winchester the
president would have had to pass

HAS Grief
Restaurant Diners in Dilemma
as Cooks Strike.
1000 Quit; Employers Lock Out
5000 More.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Society
grilled its own steaks and Bohemia
went hungry in San Francisco today.
With upwards of a thousand culinary
workers on strike and most of the
5000 others soon to be affected by the
lockout declared by the large employ
ers, chaotic conditions existed in the
eating palaces which daily furnish
food for the thousands of the city's
oiners-out.
Cafe frequenters, who are more nu-
merous here perhaps than in any 9TH
er American city except only New
York, faced the dread prospect of get
ting their meals at home. Red-badged
pickets marched back and forth to-
day in front of the leadinng cafes re-
iterating the cry, ''ur fair house." All
the principal restaurants and most of
the smaller places were affected.
Hosts Cook Own Steaks.
The issue was precipitated when the
union called a strike and it was i'm
n ediately met by action of the en-
ployers in declaring a lockout and an
open shop. The trouble quickly spread
to the Musicians union. Members of
that body employed in the places with
orchestras were told that they could
remain.
Unique scenes were witnessed in all
the principal restaurants last night.
Dinner parties that had been arranged
for in advance were held, but hosts
and hostesses. finding few cooks and
no walters in attendance. cooked and
served the meals themselves. Several
society men. who knew enough about
cooking to get up a meal for a hunt
Jig camp, publicly brofled steaks for
guests and made fun of themselves
while doing it. The unions demand a
shift of eight hours in twelve and
higher wages for some classes of help.

BY PERRY ARNOLD.

New York, Aug. Political lead
ers decided today that Charles Evans
Hughes is going to live up to his repu-
tation as one of the most strenuous
campaigners in the business.
Scanning today the itinerary for the
trip on which he starts Saturday re-
vealed the fact that in a brief month.
the Republican candidate plans to
jaunt over 10000 miles spreading the
gospel of his views and appealing for
votes. Four years ago Colonel Roose-
welt set up a mark for strenuosity in
campaigning when he travelled $4,000
miles in forty odd days. 1t was over
very much the same ground that
Hughes will cover But Roosevelt in

today that the trip starting Saturday
is merely a forerunner of Hughes

ent journey doesn't cover the middle

talks. The original idea of the tour
was to visit score of the big cities
between New York and the Pacific
sibly for a couple of days, addressing
a big mass meeting and then con-
rring with local leaders. But the
moment it was announced that a tour
would be made, the Republican COM
mittee began to be deluged with de-
mands on state and local Republican
leaders for speeches at all sorts of
towns and villages as well as the big
cities.
Every state leader had a pressing
reason demanding a visit from the
nominee as essential to Republican
success Efforts will be made sc far
as possible to save Hughes's voice for
the big speeches, but 1t was neverthe-
less admitted that he will make q big
number of short talks.
The candidate has been working for
several weeks mapping out the series
of speeches which he will deliver on
this trip. He will enlarge On his

close to him say, he will ram home

cipal issue of the campaign-the Mex
