Naval Battle Imminent.

London.-Rumors that the German
feet is preparing for it's long expected
dash into the North Sea reached here
from Dutch sources and aroused high
hopes in London that a great naval
battle is imminent in the North Sea.
Dispatches from The Hague report
ed that German marines along the
Belgian coast are being withdrawn
and sent to Kiel. All leaves of absence
of German naval officers have been
cancelled, the dispatches added.
From Copenhagen came reports of
sudden activity at Kiel and of rumOrs
reaching Danish frontier towns that
the Germans were about to risk bat
tie. Four Zeppelins and a flock Of
German Taubs have reinforced the air
fotilla at the German naval base. The
supposition is that they are to accom-
pany the feet in it's sortie from behind
the protecting guns and mine fields of
Heligoland.

.LUSITANIA CASE
ABOUT SETTLED
Chairman Stone Believes 1t
will Be Adjusted.
GERMANY's LAST PROPOSAL
President Wilson To Take Up With
His Cabinet the Recent German
Propositlon-No New Demands
Were Made On Germany.

shingtOn.-President Wilson will
take up with his Cabinet this week the
latest draft of the proposed commune
cation which Germany hopes will bring
the negotiations over the Lusitania
disaster to a termination satisfactory
to the United States. Official indica-
ton or announcement whether the
offer of the Berlin government is salts
factory is expected soon thereafter.
Confidential advices received from
high official quarters are to the effect
that the expressions of optimism re-
garding the outcome of the negotia-
tions which have been heard in GER
tain official and diplomatic circles are
not without foundation. Chairman
Stone, of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, declared, after comforting
with administration officials, that he
believed the case was practically set
tied"
1t was authoritatively said at the
State Department that the position Of
the government in regard to the Lusi-
tania case was identical with the posi-
ton taken at the time the last note
was dispatched to Germany. Secre-
tary Lansing fatty denied the truth OF
a statement attributed in press dis
patches to DR.. Alfred Zimmerman
German under secretary of foreign af-
fairs, to the effect that new demands"
had been made in the case at time
when the German government con-
sidered the negotiations practically
were at an end. He was speaking of
the Berlin dispatches quoting the
references by DR.. Zimmerman, Ger
man under secretary of foreign affairs,
to new demands"
This government" said Secretary
Lansing, has not increased the de-
mands made in the Lusitania case, as
set forth in the notes of May 13, June
Q and July 21. 1 doubt if DR.. thinner
mann ever made the statement that
new demands had been injected, be-
cause he must know that it is utterly
false"

Searching Investigation Of
Fires Cause.

Ottawa, Ont.-Every energy of the
Canadian secret police is being en-
ployed in a search for the man who set
fire to the famous parliament build
ings. There is no question in Ottawa
that the fire in which seven lives were
lost and which did at least $3,000,000
damage was incendiary. The theory
now is that some one who hated
Britain placed a chemical bomb in the
reading room.
Col. A. P. Sherwood, c. NJ. G., di-
rector of the Dominion police, stoutly
held in an interview that the fire was
accidental. At the same time, how
ever, scores Of his men were searching
Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal for a
man with small satchel."
This man is one of six foreigners
who were seen in Montreal Tuesday
and in Ottawa on Wednesday.
Considerable excitement was caused
by the news that a suspect had been
arrested at Windsor, on his way to
Chicago.
The man gave the name of Charles
Stroney and said he was a Belgian. He
had a passport signed by a Belgian
consul.

of their miners for a 20 per cent. in

GUARD BRIDGES
OVER WARSHIPS
New York Police Patrol Those
Cruiser Passes Under.
PEOPLE KEPT ON THE MOVE
Commissioner Woods Takes Precau-
tions When Cruiser Washington
Came Into the New York
Navy Yard.

New York. - Believed to be in
furtherance of the aim of Police Com
missioner Arthur Woods to protect
every arm of the United States Navy
and Army when in this city from pos
sible damage at the hands Of spies or
other enemies of the country, the
cruiser Washington came into the New
York Navy Yard Sunday under one Of
the strongest guards maintained in
this city in many years.
Extra policemen, whose only orders
were to watch every one, allow no
lettering and move back and forth, -
were stationed on the central spans of
both the Brooklyn and Manhattan
Bridges, directly over the course the
warship must take to go to her moor
ings. Six extra men were placed on
the older bridge and four additional on
the newer. the full complement Of men
being II.
While every man pretended to be as
mystif1ed as the general public was,
the impression gained wide ground
that the unusual surveillance had been
brought about through the attempts
that had been made recently to injure
United States warships by men who
have confessed to being German
agents acting directly or indirectly
under orders from the Imperial gov
ernment. These instances have awak-
ened Commissioner Woods to almost
the extreme limit of precaution and
the keen scrutiny Of the policemen on
duty made it quite apparent that they
were not on any ordinary patrol to
prevent photographers from taking pic
lures that would show too much of
the detail of the American war craft.
