Denver, Colo, Aug. 3--One hum

favor of Charles E. Hughes and
against President Wilson If the Demo-

Miss Anne Martin. chairman of the

I'VE must judge the Democratic

Gain Women's Undying Loyalty.
The leaders of the woman's party
are no babes in the woods. We realize
that politics and hope of victory may
have had great deal to do with the
change in Governor Hughes toward
favoring national suffrage. But we
have not even promise from the
Democrats. We have every conf

DIVES HOMEWARD
Mile Beyond Capes Deutschland
Ducks Under.
Last Act of Crew, "Three
Cheers for America"
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Norfolk. Va. Aug. 3.-Somewhere
in the direction of Germany. safely
past the allied warship patrol. the sub
marine merchantmen Deutschland is
boring her way through the Atlantic
toward her home port of Bremen. Re-
pcrts coming in to Hampton Roads in
dicate the pioneer submarine blockade
runner has not poked her periscope
sbove the water since she submerged
near the capes last night. At that
time the nearest British warship was
five miles distant. according to Off
GERS of the tug Thomas F. Timmins
which accompanied the Deutschland
as far as the capes.
Expectation of a thrilling chase and
perhaps some sort of a fight in con-
nection with the Deutschland's de-
parture was disappointed. Folks on
shore saw nothing and cightseers who
filled big and little harbor craft saw
little more. In the dark of the night
the Deutschland slipped out to the
boundary edge of the United States
territorial waters and ducked under
and disa ppeared. That was all.
Cheers for American People
Somewhere out in the Atlantic the
German merchant submarine Deutsch-
land and allied warships are playing
hide and seek as the undersea boat
speeds homeward.
The Deutschland submerged a mile
off the coast shortly before 9 O'Clock
and so far as known here was unob-
served by the allied warship patrol
guarding the capes against her es-
cape. One OF the last acts of Captain
Koenig and his crew, according to
Captain HInsch of the tug Timmins
which acted as her convoy from Balti-
more to the capes. was to stand or
the dect of the submersible and give
three rousine cheers for America and
the American people.
The final dash was virtually with
out incident.

London, Aug. 3.-The fourth Ger

Inns formed the squadron. They
dropped "a considerable number of
bombs, according to the war office
statement, but exact reports of any

gibles flew at heights of from 5000
to 5000 feet.
In the fourth air raid in less than
seven days, British patrols were able
to sight the aerial invaders before
they passed over British soil. Warn
ings were sent broadcast over all the
east coast countries long before the
dirigibles appeared overhead.

Hottest Day in Two Years

Today was the hottest day of this
summer and the mercury reached the
highest point attained in more than
two years. At 3 o'clock the reading
was 102 degrees and 1t was thought at
that time that it would reach 104 or

ord mark for this date is l. Of degrees.
The average temperature was 10 de-
Grees above normal.
The wind, blowing at the rate of IL
miles an hour from the southwest, was
the only redeeming feature of the
weather program today. Record
breaking temperatures were reported
in many parts of Kansas.
No Good Signs.
The weather program remains un-
changed today in all parts of Kansas
with no prospect for relief. Only q
few light rains, blistering weather yes
terday and another warm night, and
the forecast calls for fair and con-
tinued hot weather. 1t is expected
that lower temperatures will prevail

The hanging was witnessed only by

when the bell tolled announcing the

his guard, remarking:

Several of the Irishmen in the
