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

the German fleet was imprisoned. The
battle was an attempt to break the
bars and burst the combining gates. It
failed and with it's failure the high

BRITISH HANG IRISH KNIGHT
EXECUTE SIR ROGER EASEMENT
FOR HIGH TREASON.
Hemp Rope Instead Of "SiIken Cord"
Used by Hangman-Revolt 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 gallows was erected, the special
executioner, hairdresser named FL
lis, approached Easement and quickly
pinioned him. The two chaplains, the
undersheriff in London and the un-
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 "sllken cord" which
the former knight had hoped up to a
few weeks ago would be granted as
his instrument of death.

ASKED TO ACT TO AVERT
BUSINESS PARALYSIS
President Urged to Exert Influence to
Prevent Threatened Nationwide
Railroad Strike,

Washington, Aug. 4.-The White
House is informed that there is the
gravest danger of railroad strike of
nationwide proportions and direct ap-
peal has been made to President Will
son to take immediate action to avert
the business paralysis which would
result.
Washington long has known of the
dispute between the railroads and
their 100000 employees, but has as
sumed that one side or the other
would give way. The declaration by
Harry A. Wheeler Of Chicago, repre-
senting the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States of America, has set
the situation in a new light. Mr..
Wheeler is convinced that the rail-
roads and the employees alike will re-
fuse to give way, and that neither
side will even concede enough to per-
NIT arbitration.

German Submarine Disappears Un-

Limit-Has Clear Field Ahead
Where She Could Submerge.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.-The German
submarine merchantmen Deutschland
passed quietly out of the Virginia
capes at $3.50 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. Timmtns,
which had conveyed her down the bay
from Baltimore, and by a newspaper
dispatch boat.
Cruisers Not Visible.
Her departure to sea followed an
18-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 un-
known. The two accompanying boats
only know that she disappeared un-
harmed, and that to all appearances
she had clear field ahead to point
where she could completely submerge
in safety.

We have had brave words in q Sc
ries of notes, but despite our protests
the lives of Americans have been de-
stroyed. What does it avail to use
some of the strongest words known
to diplomacy if ambassadors can re-
ceive the impression that the words
are not to be taken seriously. It is
not words but the strength and reso-
luton behind the words that count. =
Weakness and indecision in the
maintenance Of known rights are al
ways sources of grave danger; they
forfeit respect and invite serious
wrongs, which in turn create an un-
controllable popular resentment.
The dealings of the administration
with Mexico constitute a confused
chapter of blunders.
We have made enemies, not friends.
Instead of commanding respect and
deserving good will by sincerity, firm
ness and consistency, we provoked
misrepresentation and deep resent

We shall have to adopt new policy,

Helping Americas Rivals.

Secretary Redfeld of the Department of Com
merce, to possess a peculiar talent for
stirring antagonsm in a great variety of places
and in vast variety of ways. His pronounce
ment against the PRONUNCIATION of facts about dye
making that have come into the possession of
the Commerce Department is a in point.
The New York Telegram remarks that under
this ruling the United States is put in the posi-
ton of proposing to ruin American manufac-
lures in the interest OF importatons from
abroad" Continuing, the Telegram says:
American chemists who in the last two years
have evolved drugs and dyes Germany alone had
produced are to be deprived of the fruits Of
their labor.
"Mr. Redfeld, in suppressing data on German
dyes which would assist the home manufactur-
,ers says it is to prevent trade secrets being
vealed.
These suppressed secrets are contained in
the customs invoices, presumably public docu-
ments.
Commercial and governmental integrity must
be maintained, but rule or sentiment or ira
dition discriminating against our own and in
favor of foreign manufacturers should be per-
mitted to stand, especially in view of the strug-
gle for business ahead Of the world.
Secretary Redfed had better rescind his acr
ton, and speedily"
In this connection recent remark credited
to Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske is recalled.
Said the admiral:
THE dangerous enemy of the United States
is not Germany or Japan; it is the American
politician"
Responsible" representatives of the present
administration are largely responsible for the
