II see no use at this moment of dis
cussing the question. The pledge was
one which passed between the govern
ment of Germany and the government
OF the United States. It is not a pledge
given to. u.s. I do not think that at the
present moment we can do any good
whatever by discussing the, question
of what the policy Of the United states
is or ought to be toward the German
government in regard to that subject
That is a matter for the United States
itself. do not think allied interests or
the interests Of these merchant vessels
could be served by raising any discus
sion In this country at the present mo-
ment with regard to a matter which Is
one between the United States govern
ment and the German government, and
which is a matter. OF course, In which

by Lord Crewe in August of the num-
Der Of vessels sunk by German sub
marines since the German government
gave a pledge to the United States gov
eminent, in May of last year, up to the
middle of August in circumstances
which were apparently not in accord
ance with that pledge. which included
firing torpedoes at ships without warn
ms and fnsufficiently providing for the
safety of the crews or passengers
when the ships were sunk. I am sure
the admiralty Indeed. I think it has
been made public can multiply in
stances which have occurred since the
middle of August and are occurring
every week of allied or neutral mer-
chant vessels having torpedoes fired at
them without warning. and in some
cases loss of life occurring from crews
being placed in open boats as the only
chance Of safety when the vessel is
sunk.
These instances are occurring in Diff
ferent parts Of the world. If he asks
whether they occurred OF the United
States coast the other day. that Is
matter on which / cannot pronounce
any opinion until we get the facts; but
If ne wishes to know whether they are
occurring elsewhere 1t Is Undoubtedly
a fact. and we have published instances
quite lately of its occurring in the

Pledge Torn to shreds.

Even before the exploits Of the U-53
that pledge was torn to shreds. Yet
the government of the United States
has made no sign whatever that the
sinking Of neutral ships goes on almost
every day. The Norwegfans have lost
eighteen vessels in this one month. and
what must small neutrals think OF
their powerful representative" i.
No life, he said, was lost. because OF
the presence of American warships.
Lord Sydenhamx took the position that
the presence of American warships ac-
tually enabled Germany TO defy what,
he said President Wilson had described
as a sacred and indisputable rule Of
International law.
Baron Beresford expressed the opin-
ion that Germany. intended to bring
America into the war. sp as to be able
to say she could not fight the whole
world, and also because the United
States would be valuable asset to her
at the peace conference. He continued:
= saThe United States arc really rather
aiding and abetting this rather serious
stats Of affairs. II the United States had
not sent their ships, which for some ex-
traordinary reason happened to be on
the spot, to save life. the Germans would
no doubt have broken the pledge to
which their attention had been called.
think we are bound to take notice Of a
fact which does not appear to be quite
within the bounds OF neutrality as far as
the United States are concerned"

No Understanding with o. s.

they will do with the information when

is to obtain information for ourselves
from such sources as are open to US. and
these sources in this case. / imagine, are

sunk or passengers. in one case at any
rate, aboard the merchant vessels, all of
whom have survived and to whom we
can have access and from whom we can
get their individual statements Of what
happened.
"That is what is being done on the

trust, will reach the admiralty in due
course as to the statements of sur
vivors. and when these reports are re-
ceived I cannot imagine any reason
why they should not be made public
in this country, or that there will be
any reluctance on the part of the ad-
miralty or among the departments
concerned to making public the facts
which we shall have got for ourselves
as to how the vessels were sunk and
treated by the German submarines"

Charges Other Violations.

viscount Grey's reply was that the
matter was one between the American
and German governments, While stat
ing that the British government was
not yet informed as to whether any
acts of the U-53 constituted breach
of the German promise to President
Wilson, he declared that German sub
marines had committed violations Of
that pledge in other waters many
times.
Baron Beresford said the action Of
American ships did not appear to be
quite within the bounds of neutrality.
and thought the British were bound to.
take notice Of this fact.
The submarine question was brought
forward by Lord Sydenham. who asked
If the particulars of the sinking of the
British steamer Stephano and the
others had been received. and whether
the circumstances were in accordance
with the German pledge to the United
States. He referred to the activities
of the U-53 under the very eyes of the
American navy and the declaration Of
President Wilson which had resulted
in the German pledge. Lord Syden-
ham declared:

LONDON. October 27.-Some utter
ances of the feeling that the activity
Of American warships in rescuing pas
sengers from the vessels sunk by the
German submarine U-53 off the Ameri-

Lord Beresford is recognized by the
country as the spokesman for the navy
in the house of lords. and Lord Syden-
hams varied activities have included
the authorship Of books on naval at
fairs.
Similar opinions have been expressed
by some Of tho newspapers and public
men as well as by naval officers. and
the matter was brought up for discus
sion by requests for Information from

affairs. regarding the American policy
and possible action by the British gov

SULzER CHANGE
 GROWING LESS

If Sulzer with a present. lead of 27 votes fares as well in the miss ing precincts as Bunnell did in 1914 his chances tor elevtion are gone.
 h the first division all the pre- cincts have been unofficially can Yassed but Shakan and Yakutat. In 1914 the vote i'm these two pre- cints was: l
 Shakan. Wickersham 5; Bun nell o.
 Yakutat, Wichersham 4; Bum nell o.
 Figuring that .Wickersham car ries these two precincts by ten votes which it is conceded he will, the vote in the first division will give sulzer a lead of 467'yotes.
 In the second, diYision practical ly the only missing vote Is the Marshall City precinct, There was no vote there in 1914. This will give Wickersham that division by 250 votes.
 In the third division Wickersham lead yesterday with PIT votes. The precincts of Hope and Bonanza re- ported during the day increased his lead F votes. -
 Among the missing precincts are Nushagak, susitna, Cache Creek, TaIkeetua and NIGDougal with no vote in 1914. In the other miss ing precincts the vote in. 1914 was as follows:
 nliamni - Wickersham 15; Bun nell 2,
 Willow Creek - WidlOe.sha 8; Bunnell 1.
 ResurrecticW - Wiokersham 5; Runnell 8.
 Kenai - Wiakeraham S5; Bum nell 1. !
 Port Wells - Wickersham 27; Bunnell 1.
 Chisana - Wicbcrsham GA; Bun nell r. !
 It is estimated the missing pre- cincts in the Third division wEll poll 400 votes. If Widkersham gets 65 per cent, a small estimate considering the vote two years ago, he will increase his lead to 2S9 votes in that division This would give for the First, Second and Third d1- visions a Wickersham lead of S2 votes for. Sul2er to overcome in the Fourth division.
 With the result from the Innoko precincts last evening giving Sulzer a lead of s votes, the 'sulzer lead of S votes in the Fourth. This leaves the KuskOkwim and Koyuruk sect.On to hear from
 FiguEing on this basis Wicker sham would win the election by 5S votes The vote now stands as actually canvassed from unofficial returns:
 First Diyision-Sulzer leads by AT votes.
 Second Division - Wickersham leads 25O votes.
 Third Division - Wicke0sham leads 229 votes. |
 Fourth Div;sion-Sulzer leads 29 votes. ''.
 Sulzer leads in territory 27 votes.
 Arrangements will be made dur ing the coming week to secure from every voting precinct in the Terri tory sworn copy from election judges of their return to the can 5ass board. This with the date which the returns were mailed to the Governors office will be in 'Ju- neau at the time the canvassing board begins its labors.-Juneau Dispatch,

Charles J. Eisbeck, Of
Ridgefeld Park, Dead

The most tragic thing of the year
in the Palisades or near-Palisades
section was the death, last Saturday,
of one of Ridgefeld Parks most
promising young men, Charles j.
Fisbeck, by drowning at a beach
near Norfolk, Va. Charles and his
most intimate friend, Arthur j..
Rooney, of Fairview, were on their
way home from a delightful outing
in the North Carolina mountains
where they had been royalty enter
tanned at Hobgood at the home of
DR.. and Mrs. Leggett, who had intro
duced them to all the wonders of the
peanut, cotton and tobacco fields, as
well as the society for miles around.
Tickets had been bought Saturday
morning for passage home on the Old
Dominion line steamer for New Yorl,
and the young men with another
friend, Miss Avis Hotchkiss, young
Brooklyn teacher, whom they had met
in Norfolk, decided to take last dip
at the beach at Ocean View. They
had all been in the water several
times, and Fisbeck's companions had
lain down on the sand for comfort
able doze, when he decided to go in
for splash by himself. 1t was dur
ing this interim that the tragedy oc-
Cured and how nobody knows. When
the two friends arose to look about
for the third member, not sign of
him was to be seen, and it was only

er's father, Peter Newell, the artist.
Mrs. Baker, who was Miss Helen
Louise Newell, eloped when she was
a girl of eighteen to Paris with
Baker in 1905. He was then married,
his wife having been formerly Miss
May Baker Simmonds, of Plainfeld,
N. j., the daughter of Hermon Sim
monds, a wealthy coffee importer.
She secured a divorce, naming Miss
Newell.
Baker and Miss Newell then re-
turned to America and were married
on May %, 1908. A few years ago
they separated.
The troubles of the couple several
times were aired in the New Jersey
courts. The wife alleged that Bak-
er's temper was insufferable and that
he had frequently endangered her
life. In September, 1914, he sued for
a divorce on the grounds of deser-
ton, but lost.
Baker has been. on the staff of
Puck since 1898 and has done much

Lawyer Maidn,ent
To Stay in Jail As
Bail Can't Be Raised

Supreme Court Justice Francis j.
Swayze denied the motion of coun-
sci for Lawyer Alexander H. G. Maid
ment on Saturday last in Jersey City
to set aside the order issued by SUI
preme Court Commissioner Charles
J. Roe, that Maidment be held to bail
in the sum of $4,000 in the civil
action Of Miss Julia Turnure.
This action means that Maidment
must stay in Jail or furnish bail in
the amount fixed. It is thought,
however, that other steps will be
taken gy counsel to procure, if pos
sible, the release of the client on the
basis Of a reduced bail.
Campbell and DeTruck are coun-
sci for the defendant.
