MINISTER OF BLOCKADE OUT.
LINES VIEWPOINT OF THE
BRITISH EMPIRE.
Declaration Of London Simply a Code
EndeaVoring to Reconcile Certain
Contradictory Theories in Interna-
tional Law, Cecil Tells the United
Press.

LONDON. July IA England act
ed strictly upon legal principles in
abandonpg the declaration of Lon
don, Lord Robert Cecil minister of
blockade, told the United Press He
answered several assertions made by
the German chancellor recently, re
garding the declaration
Apparently the chancellor re-
CARDS the declaration of London as
a charter for freedom of the seas.
The declaration of London merely
was code endeavoring to reconcile
certain contradictory theories in in
ternational law, Specifically 1t per-
mitted the destruction of neutral
prizes. 1t did not repeal the right OF
heliserents against enemy commerce
THE chancellor has accused Eng
land of lack of faith in not accepting
the declaration, Apparently he has
years ago recognized that the decla-
ration was not binding without an eN-
press agreement between the bellig-
crents. The declaration had had no
force at all since ii was not ratified.
1t is very different from a treaty
guaranteeing the neutrality of Bel
GUM, which was absolutely binding
upon the signatories and which Ger
many callously violated the moment
that war was started, following this
act by waging land and sea warfare
with methods both contrary to inter-
, national law and repugnant to ideas Of
civilization and humanity. We need
not remind you of the amount of neu-
ltral shipping and the number of neu-
tral lives destroyed"

MISSOULA, Mont, July 13.-"The

partment of sociology in the Univer-
sity of Missouri who lectured here
recently to the students of the sum
mer school of the University Of Mon
tana, DR.. Taylors talk was an argu-
ment for united and cooperative ac-
tion of the art of Christian organi-

The church is inefficient" said
Dr. Taylor, because Of competitive
interests. If we would, We could all
belong to the same church, think as
We saw fit, and be effective Yet
there is not enough in the things in
which we disagree to save a single
soul. Put the church to the test and
you will find that We have so many

Leaders Of Situation in

Vigorous Campaign to Be

Predicted.
REGULAR LOVE FEAST

Postmaster Joe Z. Moseley return
ed yesterday from Louisville, where
he attended the opening of the
Democratic Headquarters and dis
cussed the political situation in this
part of the State with the organiza-
ton leaders. Mr.. Moseley was well
satisfied with the way the Democratic
chieftains were entering into the bat
tie which is predicted to be one of the
hardest Of many years. The party
workers will begin Immediately work
ing up their plans in Christian county.
OPENING WELL ATTENDED.
Headquarters were officially open
ed by State Campaign Chairman
Campbell Cantrill at Seelbach, LOU
isville, Monday morning. If any
doubts were entertained of the en-
thusiasm of Kentucky Democrats for
Wilson and Marshall they were dis
PEELED and a determination was evinc-
ed to carry the state by such major
ity as will settle its political status for
years to come.
The quarters embrace number of
large rooms en- the tenth floor of the
hotel. They were crowded all day
with men from all sections of the
state to do honor to the occasion and
to register their hearty approval OF
the selection of Chairman Cantrill for
the important and difficult position.
and it was the unanimous opinion
that he was the right man in the right
place and that his efforts to bring all
factions together would result in the
elimination of Kentucky from the so
called doubtful column, leaving no leg
for the boastful republicans to stand
upon in their claim for supremacy in
the state.
Reports from all the districts now
held by democrats were full of COM
fort and Joy and showed that the
party is fully alive to the importance
of re-electing Wilson and the nomi-
nees for congress, who are ably sup
porting him in his efforts to faithfully
serve common country, and the III
dications are that the delegation will
remain as it is, if not indeed there is
one addition.

GATEWAY TO
HUNGARY
Russian Army Of South Cap
lures Principal Pass Of
Carpathians.
wARSHIPSLEAvE TRIESTE
Cadorna Reported Within Is
Miles Of Prize Long
South by Italy.

London, Aug. 16.-The Russians
have captured Jablonitza, one OF the
principal gateways from Galicia to the
Hungarian plains and Petrograd re-
ports that their offensives in this di-
rection are continuing. This is the
first news of an advance by the Rus
sian southern army since theconquest
of the Austrian crownland OF Buko-
wilma was completed. A Reuter- dis
patch says the Russians have reoccu
pied Vormkhta and Ardjeliet on the
river Pruth, south of Jablonitza. The
Russians captured 1893 prisoners.
Further to the north the Russians
are continuing their driving opera
tons against the Austrians with APP
parently uninterrupted success. Their
troops are pouring across the Zlota
Lipa at several points in spite OF 'des-
perate resistance on the part of the
Teutonic forces. Fierce fighting is
being waged along the entire line
south of Brody and Gen Brussiloff
apparently is making a supreme ef-
fort to cut off the army Of Gen. Won
Bothmer and force its surrender.
AS far as the other theatres OF war
are concerned, main interest centers
in the Italian operations, no impor-
tant action being reported on either
the British or French fronts.
The Italians are vigorously press
ing their advance on the Carso pla-
teau and Rome reports the capture of
several sections of the Austrian
trenches and the taking Of more than
/, 800 prisoners. Unofficial dispatches
from Italian sources claim Gen. Cad
orna now is within thirteen miles of
Trieste and that the Austrian feet has
left the harbor.

Washington, Aug. l6.-President
Wilson's efforts to bring the railroad
managers and brotherhood leaders
together in some form of a settlement
of the difficulties which threaten a
nation wide railway strike has, after
two days of conferences, progressed
only to the point where the ground
work for further negotiations mas been
laid.
Hope of arbitration of all issues has
waned but the situation was brighten
ed by, the possibility of settlement
being reported by the railroads con-
ceding the principle of the 8-hour day
and both sides settling collateral is

were in progress and that no report
could be made on the results.
