PROVE CASE AGAINST THEMSELVES

The Bethlehem Steel Company is conducting an extensive advertising campaign against the, proposed governmeu, armor plate plant bni to appropriate si100oO00 to construct which has passed one branch of Congress and has been favoraby reported to the other In the advertising literature which is send ing out the Bethlehem company says that it has re- duced the cost of armor plate to the United States since the incoming of the Wilson administration more than 20 per cent. or from more than $500 ton to s425 ton It states further that it is now promising Congress that n will further reduce it to SSs5 ton, or if the government desires. 1t will enter into a contract to make armor plate such price as gov orument appointed experts on the Federal Trade Com mission may determine to be fair. In other words. it says in SO many words i've win make the armor plate and let the government name the price"
 This would Indicate that Secretary of the Navy Daniels knew something Of what he was talking when he said that the United States had been paying too much for armor plate and that 1t could be made cheaper and further. it shows that he already has accomplished great deal that he started out to do. In short the armor plate makers have proved the case against themselves for Mir. Daniels.

 Senator Fall of New Mexico has wired to the Herald a challenge to President Wilson to give names" of those along the border" who traffic In fasehood" with intent to bring about intervention in the interest of certain American owners of Mexican properties" Senator Fall rightly terms such practices mot only sinister but traitorous, but denies knowing "one man on the border or one man interest in Mex leo" engaged in them.
 It must be regretted that Senator Fall has been apparently SO occupied with the deplorabe situation of many of his particular constituents largely result ing from the refusal of his colleagues in Congress to permit adequate military preparedness for just such situations as we confront, that he has failed to read certain widely circulated newspapers If he had done so he would not feel it necessary to demand names" He would know to what persons and in. terests the President refers.
 However. the newspapers which have continually shrleked about the killing of our feowcitizens In Mexico" while finding for the murder of our fellow citizens on the high seasthe newspapers that have constantly hinted at war with Mex.co' as in- evitable" while urging the swallowing of any sub marine outrage since to resent might mean war! the newspapers which refer to the President and his advisers as "squashheads because they are dis inclined to an occupation" Of Mexico-these news papers are we'll known So are the persons and inter ests for which they speak. Except apparently. to Senator Fall they are very well known.

SWEEPS CHICAGO
All of Republican Candidates Are De-
feated in Judicial ElectiOn-Is
Sullivan Victory.

Chicago, June Cook county paid
her respects to the republican and pro-
gressive national conventions yester-
day by electing a complete slate Of
democratic judges to the superior
court.
AL of the. sitting democratic judges
Burke, Dever, Mcdonald, Cooper and
Gridley-were reelected by majorities
averaging around $4,000.
Municipal Court Judge John J. Sui
livan, democrat, was elevated to the
superior bench by a majority nearly as
large over the high republican, Mu-
nicipal Judge Hosea W. Wells. Judge
Robert Z. Turney, the only sitting re-
publican judge, was defeated.
For the superior court vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge
Henry V. Freeman, Joseph B. David,
democrat, defeated Andrew J. Red
mond by approximately 10000 major
ity.
John T. Richards and Russell Whit
man, independents, running on the pro-
gressive ticket, did not figure in the
balloting, falling behind the lowest Of
the six socialist candidates.
The two city bond issueS-one for
bridge construction and the other for
extension of the city lighting system
were carried. The county Jail bond is
sue was wallOped.
The vote was the lightest that has
been cast in Chicago election in many
years. The total vote in the county,
as indicated by incomplete returns at
10 O'Clock, was less than 100000.
The result was generally considered
Ias a sweeping victory for the regular

'ocrtic slate and puts its precinct men
to work all over the city. The ma
chinery did not crack in a single spot
1t succeeded in recording democratic
.majorities in some of the strongest re-
publican wards in Chicago.

ma profound sensation has been
caused by the great speech made yes
terday before the reichstag by Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg, in
which he declared that any further
suggestions Of peace by Germany
would be futile and evil. His elo-
quent appeal to the nation to hold on
until victory was theirs and the cate
gorical defiance he hurled at England
were greeted with thunders of ap
plause. At the conclusion of his
speech the chancellor received ire
mendous ovation, the cheering being
renewed again and again. All par
ties Joined in the ovation with the
exception of the conservatives and
the socialists, who seeded with Er.

The chancellor appealed for the uni
ty of all parties, declaring that polit-
ical lines ought to be ohliterated dur
ing the prosecution of the war. The
conclusion of his speech brought al
most the entire house to their feet in
wild outburst of enthusiasm.
