GOING AHEAD WITH PLANS
German Under Sea Boat Pre-
pares to Discharge Cargo and
Take On One-No Trouble Is
Expected by Captain of the
Submarine.

LONDON, July 10. The Daily
News says the British government is
disposed to take very serious view
of the status of the German subma-
line Deutschland. The official opin-
ion is said to be that under existing
circumstances a submarine cannot be
classed as merchant vessel at all.
The American government faces
a new and delicate problem. which
adds one more to the already nu-
merous points on which decision
after the war will be imperative.
the News continues Even If a sub
marine merchantmen can prove her
self to be really unarmed, the diff
liculties of supervising such craft
even in harbor must be almost in
superlhle TO the friendly neutral

BALTIMORE, July II. Feeling

the Deutschland will take aboard a
cargo of rubber and nickel and her
captain in his declaration to the To-
cal customs officers, said he expected
to sail within ten days"
Already there Is discussion con
ccrning the return cargoes for other
underwater liners which are expect
ed to follow the Deutschland to
American shores. These vessels, it
was reliably stated, were to carry
back the most essential foodstuffs

as one of the commodities. 1t was

LONDON, July 12.-German resisI

the Somme front took the form last
night of strong counter-attacks, which
at two points made dents in the new
lines established by General Haig's ar

There has been notable activity in

summer, at 5000 per year is out of
the question. They point out that the
winter months they are compelled to
operate boats to st. Simons for the
special purpose of carrying the mail
and to do this for $75 per month would
mean that the company would lose
money on the contract. Often, it is
pointed out, during the winter there is
not passenger or a piece of freight
for st. Simons, but the trip must be
made in order to carry the mail
On the other hand it IS understood
that the postofFce department consid-
ers 81 400 enirely out of reason, that
no other similar route in the coun-
try is paid such a sum and although
Georgia senators and congressman
have visited the postoffice department
in the interest of the island, it is
understood that postoffice officials
have stated very emphatically that
81 900 is all that will be paid for the
| mail contract. 1t is further pointed
out that it now costs the department
approximately $275 per month to fur
nish the people of the island with
mail without one cent of revenue
being derived.
Just what the final result will be is
! not known, but it is not at all un-
! likely that it will mean the abolish
ment of the St. Simons postoffice and
discontinuance of the rural route
on the island, which would be seri-
GUS blow to the island people.

THREAT BY LORD ROBERTS

London. Dec 6.--The Greek minis

New York. Dec. 4.-The firm of J. T.
Morgan & Co. has withdrawn the pro-
posed sale of S50.O0O,O0O of British and
French treasury bills, according to in
structions received from abroad
The announcement was contained in
the following statement:
I'VE have been instructed by the
British and French governments 10
withdraw their treasury bills from sale
We have accordingly expressed t.
those institutions ID investors which
had already placed orders with Us for
these securities the wish to be released
from the obligations to deliver and
they have been good enough TO accede.
This action is because, as explained
by the British chancellor of the ex-
chequer and by the French minister of
finance. these governments desire to
show every regard to the federal re-
serve board. governmental body Of
which the secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of currency are

been an essential part of the allied gov

ABOVE HIS PARTY
TRUTH ABOUT PRESIDENT WILL
SONS POSITION.
Peculiar Circumstances That Brought
About His Reelection Are Not
Likely to Be Duplicated
Four Years From Now.

Who is there in the Democratic
party that can be brought forward as
a suitable successor to Woodrow Will
son? This is question which the POI
litical leaders to whom success came
in the election are now asking them
selves.
And they are somewhat dis
mayed by the realization that there
is no one who is obviously available.
The New York Times, probably the
most rational Democratic newspaper
in the country, asks the question and
candidly admits that it cannot answer
it. will some Democratic governor.
some accidental Grover Cleveland or
William Il. Russell impress himself
upon the popular Imagination" it asks.
''or can the East produce marrowy
man, calculated for all western lati-
tudeST
This is equivalent to an acknowl-
edgment of the truth regarding the
present situation, as it is seen by most
well-informed, clear-headed and un-
selfish Americans. 1t means that Will
son does not represent the Democratic
party. There is not man of high abil-
ity and prominence In It who is like
him.
The truth seems to be that he rep
resents the timidity, the well-fed leth-
argy and the uncertainty of tempo
rary and unnatural American majority,
which is somewhat dazed by great and
unprecedented disturbances of national
and world conditions and determined
therefore to "sit tight" for the time
being regardless of what the future
may hold, especially as the sitting is
remarkably soft and comfortable.
But this unfortunate uncertainty
will pass as it meets the equally I'M
fortunate certainties sure TO come
within the next four years, and Will
sonism will go with 1t.

London, Dec. THE government

night which up to the hour of its IN
nOuncement was considered the least
probable of practical alternatives
Herbert II. Asquith resigned the pre-
miership, which he had held through
eight stormy years of domestic anc
foreign history.
The UniOnist leader, Andrew BOnaI
Law. was summoned to the palace i'm
mediately after Mr.. Asquith had de
parted, and the king offered him the
prime minister's commission, which
the king had just accepted from Mr.
Asquith's hands.
If Bonar Law declines 1t is consid-
cred certain that the honor will fall
to David LlOyd-George.
The continuation of the coalition

day Of extraordinary political excite
ment and activity.
The court circular announced:
"Rt. Hon. Mr. Asquith had an au-
dience with his majesty the king and
rendered his resignation as prime min
lister and first lord Of the treasury,
which the king has been graciously
pleased to accept
1t now is remarked that when Mr..
Asquith was asked in the house OF
commons if a food dictator had been
appointed, he replied sharply:
Il don't like food dictator"
The part David LlOyd-George is
playing in the crisis was demonstrate
ed plainly by the fact that he re-
mained in his office while the premier
conferred separately with the liberal
and conservative members of the cab
met.
Mr. Asquith's retirement has taken
the politicians so by surprise that they
are not yet ready to predict the re
suits.
The possibility that Mr.. Asquith will
consent TO remain in the cabinet with
BOnar Law. taking the post Of lord

been considered he might find con.
