in Germany, where 10000 copies of a German edition of '"The Great Illusion were sold in a week.
 In a letter written when on a visit to America and dated May p, 1915, MT. Angell outlined his position after the beginning of the present war briefly as follows:
 The futility of war will never of itself stop war, and 1t is that fact which justifieS the very ungratetul task in which I happen to be engaged. It is not enough that conquest and power should be barren; men must realize that barrenness, since even m their rational moments they are not guided necessarily by their interests, but what they believe to be their in terests.
 However necessary it may be to have big armaments, it IS Just as necessary to know on behalf Of what policy those armaments are to be used."
 MT. Angell then insisted that the American public must be made to reel the barrenness of conquest and the importance of gaining definite ideas of international policy in such mat ters as sea power, sea law, the open Ccor, and economic pressure as a sanction for international treaties.

ANGELL SENTENCED
 FOR PEACE ACTIVITY
Reported to Have Been Given
 Term at Hard Labor

Berlin, Aug. 21.-According to the Overseas News Agency, an Italian newspaper has published a report that the English writer, Norman AngelI, has been sentenced to eighteen rlonths at hard labor after having been under arrest for several months, because he declined to take part in the war.
 This report says Mr. Angells plea that he had conscientious objections to war service was overruled by an English court.
 Ralph Norman AngeIl Lane, known also by his pen name of Norman An gell, has long been identified with the international peace movement and he has been especially prominent since the publication of his book: "The Great Illusion,'' which sought to demonstrate scientifically the futility Of war. Since the opening of the European war in 1914 MT. Angen has been unsparing in his wholesale criticism of the conditions which led to the final tragedy and has lectured extensively on the nature of the peace 10 follow the war, but the uncon- frmed report of his Imprisonment from Berlin is the first intimation that his views have led him into diff culty with the English authorities
 MT. Angell spent his youth in the United States, and has since visited here several times. He was in New York for six weeks last winter, when he delivered several lectures on inter- fla at1Onal affairs, before various peace societies. Before the Women's Peace Party, November II, 1915, he con- demned the preparedness agitation in the United States, and predicted a war With Japan unless the international

 Launches Propaganda Against War.
 After leaving America in his youth, the publicist spent many years in France ten of them in charge of Lord Northcliffe's interests in Paris, where he served as manager of the Paris edition of The Daily Mail After writing "The Great 1llusion,' which expressed the keynote of his whole attitude toward international rela- tons. he moved to London to take charge of the propaganda which the book had set in motion.
 His idea that the futility of war was a more serious basis for condemna- tion than it's cruelty won to his SUD- rort many scientific men who had been repelled hitherto by what they regarded as the sickly sentim entallty Of the peace movement. Many Nor man Angel clubs were formed in England, one of the first at Cambridge University Among the prominent men in the central organization in London were A. J. Balfour, Sir Richard Carton, and Lord Esher, whose interests had formerly been largely military.

DIVES NINE STORIES
 ID END HIS LIFE
Lace Merchant Believed Himself Victim Of InCurable Disease

New York, Aug. 21.-Edmund J. Brewster, manager of the New York office of the Kirsch Manufacturing company at 200 Fifth avenue, commit Ter suicide yesterday by throwing him. self from a window of his private office on the eleventh floor of the Fifth avenue building.
 He dropped nine stories to the roof of second-story extension in an in terior court, where his body lodged on a steel netting above a corner of the glass dome of the Fifth avenue res . taUrant. He was dead when Dr. Hal :. lock of the New York hospital and policeman got onto the roof through an office window.
 Brewster imagined he had an in curable illness, 1t was said, and de- stroyed himself in a fit of despond- ency.
 The suicide was forty-five years old and lived with his wife and a son at | ], ,806 CatOn avenue, Brooklyn. Since last November he had been Eastern representative of the Kirsch Manufac- turing company, of Sturgis, Mich, makers of laces For many years be- fore that he had been manager of the lace and curtain department of the H. B. CIaf1in company.
 A sealed letter and three messa ges written on telegraph blanks were found on Brewster's desk. One of the messages, addressed to his wife read:
 After thinking it all over again, this is the only way. Forgive me- Goodbye. ED"
 Another of the messages was ad- dressed to his physician, Dr. W. C. Griswo1d, 78 Prospect Park, West, z, Brooklyn, requesting him to notify Mrs. Brewster and help her out" The third was addressed to c. w. Kirsch at the Hotel McA1pin. Brewster advised him to go to the office imm ediately.
 After writing these Brewster at 12:30 o'clock rang the automatic mes senger call in his office connected with the Western Union Telegraph branch office at Fifth avenue and Twenty second street.
 Messenger John Punt, who respond ed, found the door open and the of lice empty. The boy notified Nicholas Rosen, superintendent of the build Ing, who made a search and finally saw the body from the office window.
 On the sill of the window. from which Brewster had jumped were 'Nmany fresh lead pencil marks, and the police said Brewster apparently had 
 pencil while he waited for an answer 10 his call. When he had heard the boy in the hall approaching the of- Ice, the police thought. Brewster made his leap. On the desk with the tele- grams was $1 to pay the messenger.
 Dr. Griswold told Mrs. Brewster of 6r the suicide. She refused to believe her husband had killed himself.
 Before jumping to his death Brew Bter had removed his coat, collar ano scarf. His body was taken to the West Twentieth street station, pending the arrival of Coroner Feinberg.
 Dr. Griswold said Brewster had beer i'll last Spring, which had been fol lowed by a slight attack of Bright's 7, disease. But two weeks ago he was practically cured of this and was ap parently sure of complete recovery said the physician, although Brewste

continued to imagine that he was a very sick man.
 ''The troubles with Brewster was that he refused to take vacation and worked too hard" said Dr. GrisWold. ''He often took work home with him at night
 Brewster was a member of the Kniokerbocker Field club of Brook lyn, a veteran mem Der of the Twenty third Regiment and a Spanish-Amer- ican War veteran. His parents, who reside in President street, Brooklyn, also survive him.

VERDUN FIGHT
STILL RACES ON
THE WEST SIDE
THE GERMANS ARE POUNDING
THEIR WAY ALONG BANKS
OF THE MEUSE--ADVANDCE
MADE BY CROWN PRINCE.

LONDON, March 1.-THE attack on
Verdun was shifted to the west and
the Germans are engaged in pounding
their way toward the fortress from be-
yond the Meuse, advancing along the
railroad that parallels the westerly
bank.
Last night the crown princes
troops took the town of Forges, nine
miles northwest of Verdun, but were
prevented from debouching against
the Cote de L'Oie, height about a
mile to the south.
Today comes the admission from
Paris that the Germans, after a vio-
lent bombardment, forced their way
through Forges and along the rail
road in the vicinity of Regnesville, a
village mile and a half southeast.
simultaneously an entire division
violentaly attacked and captured hill
No. 265, southwest of Regneville.
Heavy losses were sustained by the
Germans, Paris declares.
The new drive of the Teutons ap-
parently is in the nature of a clearing
operation, probably indirectly aimed
at ultimate possession of the dominat
ing heights in the region. For days
they have been hammering the COM
manding height of LIE Mort Homme
and other elevations west of their
present line of advance, which is
bringing their infantry ahead in the
same general direction.
The present movement, if success
full, also will straighten out the bat
tie line to the northwest of Verdun
which curves sharply northward from
the point of the bend in the Meuse,
the territory included within which,
lying east of the river, was sometime
ago reported cleared of French
forces.
French lines further west have held
and they are in possession of Bethin-
court and nearby territory and still
occupy Cote de L'Oie. There is still
notable artillery activity along the
immediate front of Verdun east of
the Meuse, as we'll as in the Woevre
district to the east and southeast of
the fortress. Big guns in unprece-
dented numbers have been brought
up, 'advices declare, the ring of artil-
lery around the stronghold being de-
scribed as never before equaled in
warfare.
Berlin announces the capture of
the village of Fresnes, in the Woevre,
southeast of Verdun.
The first confirmation of reports
that the British were assisting the
French came today in a statement
that an Australian siege brigade was
fighting at Verdun.

BUSY;
MANY HOMES
ARE ENTERED
INTRUDER WORKS IN OPEN
DAYLlCHT--CASH AND JEW
ELRY STOLEN FROM RESI-
DENCE OF A. L. CHURCH.

Lock your doors good and tight.
Brunswick's mysterious burglar is at
work again, day and night. and since
Monday afternoon four cases have
been reported to the police depart
ment, and last night special officers
were assigned to duty in an effort to
apprehend the thief
From all accounts the robberies are
being committed by negro who mar
rowly missed capture on two occasions
yesterday, but from descriptions Civ
en-, there is evidently more than one
at work
On Monday night two Union street
homes were entered, that of Millard
Reese at sos Union, and the other that
of Mrs. Thos. O'Connor, just two
blocks from the Reese residence The
intruder did not succeed in making
hanl at either of these homes.
Yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
while members of the family were
about the place, a negro entered the
residence of A. L. Church, S07 Dart
mouth street, and made "a good haul.
The negro evidently watched his
chance, and slipped into the residence
when members of the family were bus
lily engaged about the house The in
truder quickly secured $25 in cash, one
or two pieces of jewelry and then made
his getaway. The robbery was at
once discovered and Chief Owens was
phoned and, although he arrived on the
scene in less than five minutes after
the call was received, the negro had
made his escape.
A few hours later, about o'clock,
the residence of w. H. DeVoe, 1903
Union street, was entered. The man
was discovered, however, before he
succeeded in making a haul. Mrs. De-
Voc reached her home about $50
O'Clock. and it was half an hour later
when Mr.. DeVoe, F. H. Mallard and
John Dillon arrived. The family was
discussing the robbery at the Church
residence when Mr.. Mallard thought
ne heard a noise upstairs. Jokingly
he told Mr.. Dillon to go upstairs and
chase a burglar out. Mr.. Dillon then
started to the second story of the res
idence, headed for the bathroom, but
when he reached the head of the flight
of stairs he was surprised to see a
man standing in Mrs. DeVoes room,
with the electric light burning, and
just in the act of entering a dresser.
In fact he had one Of the drawers open
and was ransacking it. The man, as
soon as he saw Mr.. Dillon, rushed to
the window, made his way out on the
shed and then jumped to the ground.
Mr.. Mallard, still on the first floor,
heard the noise and, picking up golf
stick, started in pursuit of the man,
chasing him up Newcastle to Monk
street, and down that street for three
or four blocks, when he disappeared in
the darkness in the vicinity of the
First Methodist church.
AS the mans back was turned to Mr.
Dillon he did not get a good view of
him, but he is of the opinion that it
was a white man. He said the man
was quite well dressed, wore a slouch
hat, and was either white man or a
bright mulatto.

SUTHERLAND IS
WITH PRESIDENT
ON HIS POLICY
REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM
UTAH TAKES SIDES WITH PRES
lDENT WILSON ON HIS SUBMA-
RINE POLICY.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Dis-
cussing the armed ship issue in the
senate today, Senator Sutherland of
Utah, a Republican member of the
foreign relations committee, stood
squarely behind President Wilson in
his policy in dealing with Germany
in the submarine negotiations.
81 do not want war at any time
said Senator Sutherland, but |
would rather have war with all its
sacrifices and suffering than that
this nation, with it's long history Of
heroism and glory, should play the
poltroon when confronted by SUI
preme national duty, because it
places a greater value upon its ease
than upon it's honor.
81 am one of those who desire
peace" the senator continued, "but
a nation, when all other means fail,
that would not resent a flagrant and
illegal attack upon the lives of its
own citizens, is only less detestable
than a man who will not fight for
his wife and children. And, believe
as l do about that, if the life of an
American citizen is again taken by
the illegal and deliberate sinking
without warning of a merchant ship,
unarmed or armed for defense, this
government should hold the offend
ing nation to a stern reckoning.
"The proposition now insisted
upon, boldly stated, is simply this,
that when a new engine of destruc-
ton is invented that cannot be made
entirely effective without violating
the law, the law is ipso facto auto
matically modified. Under these cir
cumstances my own view of the
matter is that the new weapon must
yield to the law.
"The question next arises shall our
citizens be officially advised to for
bear from travelling upon belligerent
merchant vessels armed for defense
only? Or indeed, shall we go further,
and forbid their doing so under
penalty for disobediance? If / am
correct in what | have already said,
namely that these merchant ships
nave Inc liSHL W Ndllg hCIChol ~
armament, it follows that such a ship
has the same status as though un-
armed and that the right of neu-
trail citizen to transport mis- goods or
travel upon either is the same and
not different right; and that, in
fact, is the decision of our own su-
preme court in a great case decided
many years ago and never since
loverruled or modified.
of, therefore a citizen takes pas
sage upon a ship so armed and lose
his life by the sinking Of the ship
without warning, what must be the
contention and claim of this govern
ment? TO my mind, clearly this:
That the citizen in the exercise Of "A
clear right has been deprived Of his
life by the deliberately illegal act Of
the belligerent government which
sent the submarine on its mission of
death. ! can conceive OF no otner
position for this government to as
sumo; and unless it is unwilling TO
forfeit the respect of mankind by
becoming a craven thing, it must be
prepared to sustain that position at
whatever cost or consequence"
