ALLIES PROTEST DISAR MING OF
 MERCHANT SHIPS
(Continued From First Page.)

They say that an amendment was in- corporated in German prize regula- tions on June 22, 1914 before the war broke out, which provided that every hostile act of an armed merchantmen was to be regarded as piracy and that the crews should be dealt with ''ac- cOrdlng to the regulations covering extraordinary military law and pro- cedure.'
 The newspapers point out that the memorandum does not go to ex- tfemeS, but allows armed merchant men the privileges of warships-that IS, the crews, if captured, are to be treated as prisoners of war and the ships, although liable to be attacked and sunk without warning, are en- titled to certain rights of surrender. All German Warships, and not sub- marines only, are according to the emorandum, to apply these rules, and therefore they argue, the memo randum is not exactly a new develop, ment of submarine warfare.
 England Recognized Dangers.
 The naval experts quote certain British newspapers as opposed to the Churchill measure, to indicate that even in England the dangers for crews and passengers on armed mer- chantmen was recognized before the war.
 The German press is unanimous in expressing cOmmendatiOn of the memorandum which, however, does not go far enough to satisfy some of the writers. Count ReventlOW, for instance, says that insistence should be made on "The inherent right of the German nation for existence" He adds "It is more important for the German Empire and it's people that unrestricted use be made of the sub commerce than that good relations should be conserved with the United States"

HUGHES ELECTION SURE

The Democratic National chairman
has been putting up a mOnstrous bluff
about carrying some Republican States
for Wilson. 1t is mere assertion and
bold Misrepresentation. The prospects
for the election Of Charles Evan
Hughes were never brighter. There
are well-founded reasons for the Re-
publican confluence in carrying every
northern State, with an even chance
on the border States of Maryland and
Kentucky. The most definite reports
to the Republican National headquar.
tiers show that with the exception OF
about a half dozen counties, the Re-
publican party Is reunited, and that
where there is still a dissension. it is
over local and not over national issues.
There are some Republicans who
will vote for Wilson chiefly on the alb
surd theory that che has kept US out
G. war" yet there are relatively few
such instances. and these are greatly
overDalanced by the number Of Dem
ocrats who will vote for Hughes be-
cause OF general dissatisfaction vito
the Wilson administration. particular
~ in its mishandIing Of foreign affairs.
its destructive tariff legislation. ~

WHAT 1T WOULD MEAN

If the Democrats had anything TO Of
fer, which they have not. TO induce any
Republicans TO vote for the election Of
Mr. Cornwell, the best the Democrats
could possibly do would be 70 give the
State half administration.
1t is conceded that there is little
chance Of the thirty-five Republican
counties in West Virginia sending a
majority Of Democratic delegates TO
the House, while it is admitted openly
by Democrats that they cannot hope 10
obtain control in the Senate. The cleo
ton OF Cornwell. would. then, give the
state nothing better than Cornwell's
veto power. If elected, he would eX-
ercise the authority of the executive
TO be an obstructionist, but he could
not be a constructionist.
If the Republican House and Senate
passed a bill which the Democratic pow
crs that be in this state today saw
would rebound to the credit of the Re-
publican members of the Legislature,

the usual standard Of the employe IS

he may for his wages. Labor is stand

no one may work out Of hours al all

the charges that he had vetoed certain
bills while Governor of New York, he
has said: IL will admit it cheerfully,
