They are making all sorts Of trouble

with the refusal or neglect Of the com
pany to provide itself with new ter
minal within that city the council took
action to limit the time on which the
cars could stand on the streets to load
and unload passengers and they have
now reduced that time to five minutes.
The trains from Evanston arrive at
the end Of the line on Second street,
Milwaukee, and are given just five

of transportation, and he is put
through a course Of sprouts which leads
to the company having to pay a fine.
Milwaukee has not yet forgotten the
promise Of President A. G. Frost, when
the line was first built, that fine new
terminal would be erected in that city.
Passengers who desire to board the
cars in some more convenient place
than q crowded street, merchants on
that street who claim that the cars
drive away business instead of bring

the crowds and probably some real
estate men who wanted to provide the
site for the terminal, all have joined
in a petition to the Milwaukee coun-
Gil to force the line to build its ter

could stand in the streets. On the
promise of the road officials to build
the terminal at once the zine was linn
tied to ten minutes. They got no ter
mlnal and now they have reduced the
time to five minutes and proceeded to
show the company that five minutes
meant no more than three hundred
seconds by arresting and ining its
representatives
The company is spending some mon
ey on improvements along the line. At
Glencoe work has commenced In cut
ting down a bad stretch of roadway in
Which the railway has no interest
other than that it has a subway cross
ing there in which many accidents
have taken place, but it is expected
that the company viii pay some
twenty thousand dollars towards this
work, while the village ofeGlencoe is to
pay five thousand dollars.
The improvement will cut down the
hill north of the subway and raise the
subway so that machines coming
through from the west will stand some
chance of not being cut down by the
Sheridan road speeders. Glencoe has
put up big mirror there that shows
to those under the subway the ma
chimes coming down the hill for a dis
lance Of q block away, so that condi-
lions are not SO bad as they were be-
fore the mirror was put up.

German Submarine Disappears Un-
harmed After Reaching Three-Miie
Limit-t;as Clear Field Ahead
Where She Could Submerge.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.-The German
submarine merchantmen Deutschland
passed quietly out Of the Virginia
capes at 80 p. M, on her homeWard
voyage, apparently unobserved by the
allied warships patrol waiting outside
the three-mile limit.
She was accompanied to the capes
only by the tug Thomas F. Timmins,
which had conveyed her down the bay
from Baltimore, and by a newspaper
dispatch boat.
Cruisers Not Visible.
Her departure to sea followed an
1S-mile dash through the lower Ches-
apeake bay. After proceeding slowly
most of the way down, she increased
her power at $50 and reached the
capes just after dusk. None of the al
lied cruisers was visible as she passed
through.
Whether she submerged before
reaching the three-mile limit is I'M
known. The two accompanying boats
only know that she disappeared un'
harmed, and that to all appearances
she had a clear field ahead to point
where she could completely submerge
in safety.

London, Aug. 5.-The first lord Of
the admiralty A. J. Balfour, has issued
a statement for publication in the
course of which he says:
"The second anniversary of the
British declaration of war provides a.
fitting opportunity for brief survey
of the naval situation. The conse-

Jutland battle cannot be easily over
looked. An Allied diplomatist assur-

Before the Jutland battle, as after,
the German fleet was imprisoned The
battle was an attempt to break the
bars and burst the combining gates. 1t
failed and with it's failure the high
seas fleet sank again into Importance.
"Already 244 neutral merchantmen
have been sunk in defiance Of law and
humanity. Mankind, with the expert
ence of two years OF war behind it,
has made up it's mind about German
culture. 1t is not, I think, without
material for forming judgment about
German freedom"

BRITISH HANG IRISH KNIGHT
EXECUTE SIR ROGER EASEMENT
FOR HIGH TREASON.
Hemp Rope Instead Of "Silken Cord''
Used by Haneman-ReVoit Lead
er Meets Fate Calmly.

London, Aug. 4.-Roger David Case
ment, former British knight and con-
sui, has been hanged in Pentonville
Jail for high treason. He was con-
victed OF conspiring to cause an armed
revolt in Ireland and with having
sought German aid to that end.
Meets Death Calmly.
Easement met his death with calm
courage, according to eyewitnesses.
AS the party reached the shed where
the galows was erected, the special
executioner, a hairdresser named FL
lis, approached Easement and quickly
pinioned him. The two chaplains, the
undersheriff in London and the I'M
dersheriff of Middlesex then took up
their positions in front of the scat
fold, Easement mounted the gallows
step firmly and commended his spirit
to God as he stepped on the trap.
No "SiIken Cord"
A moment later the lever was the
trap. The executioner sprung the
drop after he had adjusted the hemp
en- noose-not the "silken cord" which
the former knight had hoped up to a
few weeks ago would be granted as
his instrument of death.

We denounce all plots and conspi-

their suppression.

of security; it is a necessary safe
guard of peace.
