# UTLAND BATTLE
BRITISH VICTORY
FIRST LORD OF ADMIRALTY SAYS
GERMAN FLEET Is STILL I'M
PRISONED AS FORMERLY.

Freedom of the Sea Means Neither Ene-

Possess Rights Against Militant
Germany, According to British

London, Aug. 5.-The first lord Of
the admiralty, A. J. Balfour has issued
statement for publication in the
course of which he says:
"The second anniversary of the
British declaration of war provides a.
fitting opportunity for brief survey
of the naval situation. The conse-
quences, material and moral, of the
Jutland battle cannot be easily over
looked. An Allied diplomatist assur-
ed me that he considered it the turn
ing point of the war.
JutIapd Victory Claimed.
Before the Jutland battle, as after,
the German fleet was imprisoned. The
battle was an attempt to break the
bars and burst the combining gates. 1t
failed and with it's failure the high
seas fleet sank again into Importance.
ALREADY PA neutral merchantmen
have been sunk in defiance Of law and
humanity. Mankind, with the expert
ence of two years of war behind it,
has made up it's mind about German
culture. 1t is not, I think, without
material for forming judgment about
German freedom"

ASKED TO ACT TO AVERT
BUSINESS PARALYSIS
President Urged to Exert Influence to
Prevent Threatened Nationwide
Railroad Strike.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The White
House is informed that there is the
gravest danger Of a railroad strike of
nationwide proportions and direct APP
peal has been made to President Will
son to take immediate action to avert
the business paralysis which would
result.
Washington long has known Of the
dispute between the railroads and
their 100000 employees, but has as
sumed that one side Or the other
would give way. The declaration by
Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago, repre-
senting the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States of America, has set
the situation in a new light. Mr..
Wheeler is convinced that the rail
roads and the employees alike will re-
fuse to give way, and that neither
side will even concede enough TO per-
nit arbitration.

German Submarine Disappears Un-

Limit-t;cs Clear Field Ahead
Where She Could Submerge.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.-The German
submarine merchantmen Deutschland
passed quietly out of the Virginia
capes at $50 p. M, on her homeWard
voyage, apparently unobserved by the
allied warships patrol waiting outside
the three-mile limit.
She was accompanied to the capes
only by the tug Thomas F. Timmins,
which had conveyed her down the bay
from Baltimore, and by newspaper
dispatch boat.
Cruisers Not Visible.
Her departure to sea followed an
1S-mile dash through the lower Ches-
apeake bay. After proceeding slowly
most of the way down, she increased
her power at $50 and reached the
capes just after dusk. None Of the al
lied cruisers was visible as she passed
through.
Whether she submerged before
reaching the three-mile limit is I'M
known. The two accompanying boats
only know that she disappeared un-
harmed, and that to all appearances
she had a clear field ahead to a point
where she could completely submerge
in safety.

BRITISH HANG IRISH KNIGHT
EXECUTE SIR ROGER EASEMENT
FOR HIGH TREASON.
Hemp Rope Instead Of "Silken Cord'
Used by Hangman-ReVolt Lead
er Meets Fate Calmly.

London, Aug. 4.-Roger David Case
ment, former British knight and con-
sul has been hanged in Pentonville
Jail for high treason. He was con-
victed OF conspiring to cause an armed
revolt in Ireland and with having
sought German aid to that end.
Meets Death Calmly.
Easement met his death with calm
courage, according to eyewitnesses.
As the party reached the shed where
the gallows was erected, the special
executioner, hairdresser named 81
lis, approached Easement and quickly
pinioned him. The two chaplains, the
undersheriff in London and the I'M
dersheriff of Middlesex then took up
their positions in front of the scat
fold, Easement mounted the gallows
step firmly and commended his spirit
to God as he stepped on the trap.
No "SiIken Cord"
A moment later the lever was the
trap. The executioner sprung the
drop after he had adjusted the hemp
en- noose-not the "silken cord. which
the former knight had hoped up to a
few weeks ago would be granted as
his instrument of death.

Hughes Pointers in
Acceptance Speech

We denounce all plots and conspi-
racies in the interest of any foreign
nation. Utterly intolerable is the use
Of our soil for alien intrigue. Every,
American must unreServcdly condemn
them, and support every effort for
their suppression.
Adequate preparedness is not mill
tarism. 1t is the essential assurance
of security; it is necessary safe
guard of peace.
We have had brave words in Sc
ries Of notes, but despite our protests
the lives of Americans have been de-
stroyed. What does it avail to use
some of the strongest words known
to diplomacy if ambassadors can re-
ceive the impression that the words
are not to be taken seriously. 1t is
not words but the strength and reso7
luton behind the words that count.
Weakness and indecision In the
maintenance of known rights are al,
ways sources Of grave danger; they
forfeit respect ana invite serious
wrongs, which in turn create an I'M
controllable popular resentment.
The dealings Of the administration
with Mexico constitute a confused
chapter of blunders.
We have made enemies, not friends,
Instead of commanding respect and
deserving good will by sincerity, firm,
ness and consistency, we provoked
misrepresentation and deep resent
ment
We shall have to adopt new policy,
a policy of firmness and consistency,
through which alone we can promote
an enduring friendship.
L endorse the declaration in the plat
form in favor of woman suffrage. OPP
position may delay, but, in my judg
ment, cannot defeat this movement.
| favor the vote for women.
We have d vision of America pre-
pared and secure; strong and just;
equal to her tasks; an eXemplar of the
capacity and efficiency of free PEG.
