SITUATION MAY BE SERIOUS

LONGBRANCH, Oct. 11.-WisOn and Lansing are comforting today the subnaarine eetion The officials declare that no law violated by the sinking of the ships off this coast but they believe there is grave dang CT that submarines may make mistakes that would cause international complications President Wilson will prob ably ask the kaiser to remove the menace. A similar quest made Britain in 1914 and this is regarded
 precedent At that time Britain promised to avoid in- turing American shipping. AS matters now stand no
 trouble need be expected the submarines do not repeat their attacks and many people believe the U53 came here just to bring mail and only sank the ships an incident

BRITISH WANT MORE MONEY

LONDON Oct LA tremendous ovation greeted Premier Asquth today in the house of commons when he asked for another billion and half war credit. The speech of the prime minister most interesting as showing just what is thought of the and the manner m which 1t is progressing The war must not end n sham peace he said and this the keynote ot his statement The phrase is being taken by the papers to mean that the Allies are determined to Su push the war in spite of the seeming failure of the western offensive and that no peace will made until all danger of future war is destroyed. The Times sums up the statement to Aean that while the war is being ended Britain will continue.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3. - Smoke would be abolished down to the last curl if the smoke inspectors of the nation had their way; and they met here to- day to see if they can't beat them selves all out of job by finding some way of doing just that.
 Practically every bit of smoke made is unnecessary and can be consumed if the right firing methods ere en'- ployed, the smoke men say.

Throughout the speech he tried to show that Shackleford and Donahue were lon the payrow and no one cheered because the audience probably came to the conclusion that those two had succeeded where he himself had failed. He even said that George Grigsby was using the money of some capitalists when every friend of George Grigsby knows just exactly how much George has got and whose money he is spending. George is that kind of a man.
 He insinuated that Thane is look ing for the governorship and he and others are putting up the money. Mir. Wickersham seems to be unable to understand fellows like George Grigsby and Tom Donahue and it makes a man sick to have to listen to filthy abuse of men who are as sterl- ing as gold, no matter what politics have to do with it.
 Mir. Wickersham called the Repub- lican convention at Seward a bunch of crooked politicians" He said it was hard for an honest man to have any thing to do with any of them. They are getting paid for it" That is a sample of the language used by the Delegate to Congress. It was inter esting, though, to learn what he thought of the work of that conven- tion. He said it wanted to nominate him so that they could get his friends in."
 He said Colonel Richardson wasn't worth speaking about and then he spent half an hour speaking about him.
 At the end of the speech, it is glad  ly admitted, the Delegate was his ola self and spoke of the greatness of Alaska. He said Seward was the gateway to the greatest naval coal on the Pacific and that we will have a naval station here. That was good if he didn't say the same about Anchor age when he was over there. There was a time, though, when the end of his speech sounded like the glowing periods of Henry Derr Reynolds.
 It must be admitted that the speech for the greater part was disappoint- ing, and it was all the more disap- pointing when a person went there with the intention of giving it favor able notice. Personal vituperatiOn seems to be out of fashion.
