spicuous among the principles which the civilized nations of the world have accepted for the safeguarding of the rights of neutrals is the just and honorable principles that neutrals may not be condemned nor their goods con- fiscated except upon fair adjudication and after an opportunity to be heard in prize courts or elsewhere. Such safeguards the blacklist brushes aside. It condemns without hearing, without notice, and in advance. It Is manifest ly out of the question that the govern ment of the United States should ac- quiesce in such methods or applica- tions of punishment to it's citizens.
 "Whatever may be said with regard to the legality, in the view of interna- tional obligation, of the act of Parlia- ment upon which the practice of the blacklist as now employed by his maj esty's government is understood to be based, the government of the United States is constrained to regard that practice as inconsistent with that true justice, sincere amity, and impartial fairness which should characterize the dealings of friendly governments with one another. The spirit of reciprocal LTaQo between the On1Leu SldleS dlIN Great Britain, the privilege long ac' corded to the nationals of each to come and go with their ships and car gOes to use each others shipping, and be served each by the others mer- chants is very seriously impaired by arbitrary and sweeping practices such as this There is no purpose O rincli- nation on the part of the government of the United States to shield Amer ican citizens or business houses in any way from the legitimate consequences of unneutral acts or practices; 1t is quite willing that they should suffer the appropriate penalties which inter
 national law and the usage of nations have sanctioned; but his Britannic majesty's government can not expect the government of the United States to consent to see it's citizens put upon an ex parte blacklist without calling the attention of, his maj ajestys govern m ent, in the graveSt terms, to the many serious consequences to neutral right and neutral relations which such an act must necessarily involve. It hopes and believes that his majes- tvs government, in it's natural ab- sorption in a single pressing object of policy, has acted without a full reali- zation of the many undesired and un-
 desireable results that might ensue"

FAT WOMEN AND
 MEN WON'T RACE
It Is Too Hot for Such Pastime at Hebrew War Relief Picnic
 $500 Realized.

It is estimated that fully $500 was realized on the picnic given yester- day by the Hebrew War Relief asso- citation at Quartet club park. There was a large crowd on hand and all contributed freely for the worthy cause.
 A program of games was carried out under the supervision of Attorney M. D. Saxe chairman of the sports committed A baseball game was played and numerous other sports were enjoyed. Much to the disap- pointment of those assembled the fat woman's and fat mans race did not materialize although there was a large number present. All refused to race for the tempting prize offered, claiming that they would rather enjoy cold drinks and ice cream than run a race in such hot weather.
 Much credit for the success of the affair is given to Constable Fred Wrinkle. 'Fred' was on the job all afternoon and evening acting as of- ficiaI, constable, auctioneer, director, and numerous other offices at differ ent times Toscani's orchestra gave a band concert in the afternoon and furnished music for dancing in the evening. A meeting of the committee will be held Wednesday evening at which time a complete report on the amount realized will be ascertained.

party will be the sole business of the second session, Aug. Il. Among the speakers on the program are Miss Paul, Miss Martin, Miss Mabel Ver non, secretary of the woman's party; Mrs. Dora Phelps Buell. of Colorado, @ member of the congressional unions advisory council, and Miss Gail Laughlin of California. At this ses- sion formal resolutions outlining the party's policy will be adopted.
 The final session, Aug. 12 will be devoted to campaign conferences of state chairmen, organizers, stump speakers and others. In the call for the conference the woman's party executive committee declares that "womans political power has more than doubled since the last presiden- tiaI election"
 = ''In 1912 there were only six suff- rage states, with about 2,0OO,0O0 wom- en qualified to vote," it Is stated. "These six suffrage states elected only thirty-seven members of the electoral college. Today there are twelve suff- rage states, controlling ninety-o one electoral votes, with over 100000 women qualified to vote for president. The fact that these states control one fifth of the electoral college and cast one-third of the votes necessary to elect a president gives woman voters the power to determine the election of the next president"
 That one-fourth of the senate's membership and one-sixth of that of the house comes from suffrage states is also pointed out by leaders as in dicating the possible power of women i'll the forthcoming elections.
 In addition to deciding whether any of the presidential candidates shall be supported by the woman's party, the conference will consider participating In the congressional campaigns in supporting or opposing candidates for the senate and house in the suffrage states.

GERARD HELPLESS
 IN FRYATT CASE
Trial and Execution Rushed
 Through Without Least Delay

Berlin, July 31, Via London.-The swift procedure of the German field court martial In the case of Captain Fryatt of the British steamship Brussels left little time for action by the American embassy which James w. Gerard undertook at the request of Viscount Grey, British secretary for foreign affairs.
 The first notice that Captain Fryatt was facing trial on the charge Of having attempted to ram a German submarine came in a despatch from mbassador Page at London. MT. Gerard in a note to Herr von Jagow, the German foreign secretary, inn mediately requested confirmation of the report and followed this up with a second note asking permission to em- ploy counsel.
 Am bassador Gerald received an answer on Wednesday. It stated that the trial had been set for the follow ing afternoon and that a. German officer had been assigned to defend the British captain. The embassy was in-
New Britain herald., 1916-07-31

formed Saturday morning that the trial had been held and that Captain Fryatt had been executed.
 The minutes of the trial have not yet been received at the German ad-- niralty nor has it any more precise details of the accusation beyond the broad charge that Captain Fryatt was a "Franc-tireur."
 Declare Act Is Justified.
 The admiralty representatives take the ground that this charge is amply sufficient to justify execution. They declare roundly that the German court needs neither defense nor ex- planation. Basis for the courts action may, however, perhaps be found in the revised prize regulations promulgated in July, 1914, whereby officers and crews of armed merchantmen attack ing of resisting German warships are placed beyond the pale of the law and are to be regarded as pirates and free booters.
 The German newspapers says the, Overseas News Agency, "discuss the British comments on the death sen tence passed by a German field court martial on Captain Fryatt. They re- ' call the killing of the crew of a Ger man submarine by the British Patrol boat Baralong, where, also, British judgment was at variance with the German point of view.
 'The newspapers point out that. during the war four German women, under suspicion of spying, were exc ! cuted in France, and that notwith- i standing this one similar German case was the object of worldwide agita- ] tion."
New Britain herald., 1916-07-31
Dutch Press Indignant.

The Hague, Via London, July 31.-~ Some sections of the Dutch press con- demn the execution of Captain F'ryatt in severe terms, mostly on the ground that whereas Germany claimed the light to regard all hostile merchant lrent as warships she should have treated the captain as a prisoner of var and not as a criminal, apart from other reasons for sparing his life on the grounds of humanity or even expediency.
 The Hague Vaderland thinks Ger many should be made to suffer for this deeply at the end of the war"
 The Amsterdam Handelsblad, sum rling up the case, calls it a 'dastardly murder out of a hatred and spite"
 The Amsterdam Telegraaf says 1t learns from the German frontier that the sentence of death on Captain T'ryatt was pronounced on Thursday morning and that in the evening of the same day he was executed on an isolated plot of ground. One alder man from Bruges witnessed the eXecu- ton.
