the capture of the Schwaben reddubt,
on the ridge above Thiepval, the Brit

300 yards; not to mention the number
killed by the artillery preparation and
In hand to hand fighting before the
survivors surrendered. The Germans
manning the trench and those in the
reserve dugout could hardly have been
crowded into the line because Of the
preparation.
This gives an idea Of the Importance
attached to this bit Of high ground by
the Germans. which their desperate re-
sistance characterized as the most
precious two acre lot In all Of France.
After the British got the first half OF
the redoubt the Germans made repeat

MINERS SENTENCES STAND.
United States Supreme Court Refuses
to Review Conviction


Washington, Oct. 1S.-The supreme
court today refused to review the con-
victions Of four labor leaders in the
1918 West Virginia coal strike who
were sentenced to six months impris-
onment for contempt of court in fail
ing to obey an injunction by federal
district judge.
The cases are another outcrop OF
litigation in conjunction with Justice
Dayton's decree that the United Mine
Workers was an unlawful conspiracy.
The defendants were members of the
union and were found guilty Of incit-
ing miners to leave employment. Their
conviction was affirmed on the theory
that Judge Dayton's decree against the
United Mine Workers was valid. The
case Is set for reargument before the
supreme court during the present
term.

from Secretary Tumulty to Michael
Francis Doyle, attorney for Sir Roger
Easement, containing denial that the
American government was negligent
il it's efforts to save Sir Roger from
execution, was made public today.
Mr. Tumulty replied to letter from
Mr.. Doyle, saying Mrs. Newman, Sir
Rogers sister, had received informa-
ton from London that her brothers
life might have been spared had the
resolution urging clemency adopted by
the United States senate been for
warded to London more promptly. He
replied that the senate resolution was
prepared on Saturday and that the
ambassador at once conveyed the in
formation to the British government.
"On Wednesday," he says "the am
bassador showed me cable showing
that his government had considered
the Easement case and the resolution
o. the senate and had come to the
conclusion that in view Of all the cir
cumstances it could not grant
ciemency. .
Particular stress was'laid, as I re-
ca1l by the British government on the
fact that Irish prisoners in Germany
who refused to assist Easement had
been punished. The statement made
In letters to Mrs. Newman that, had
the resolutions been presented In time,
Fer brothers life would have been
spared were utterly. and entirely with
cut foundation. Yout can state au-
thoritativeiy that the ambassador read
me the actual message from his gov
ernment, stating that the resolution
was considered and the conclusion
reached that clemency could not be
granted" ~

Paris, OSt. 16.-Accdrdfn to Jean
Herbette, military strategist and writer
on International saffairs, the German
submarine U-53 made a breach in the
Monroe doctrine by sinking vessels of
the New England coast, and 1t remains
to be seen whether the United States
will Sustain the celebrated. American
tradition or let it be cast aside"
France is only disinterested spec
tator In the debate" says NJ. Herbette,
because It makes little difference to
her whether the Germans operate on
one side Of the Atlantic or the other,
but it will produce great change in
the political equilibrium of the world if
the doctrine shall be abrogated by
President Wilson. The Jeffersonian
maxim against Europe interference on
the other side of the Atlantic appliees
In fact to American waters as well as
to the continent ITSELF and when Presi-
dent Monroe in formulating his doc
trine prohibited European powers from
controlling the destiny Of the American
people, he opposed naval az well as
military control. One can not be toll
Grated without opening the door to the
other"
M. Herbette recalls the case Of
French warships in 1870 cruising Oft
New York in watch for German ves-
sels.> The French ships violated no
laws, he says, yet their action resulted
in the American secretary Of state
sending warning note to France. The
principle then laid down has not been
forgotten, he adds.

in Conclusion was no less categorical
when during the present war he upheld
the same rule with regard to England

and Spain are now playing the leading
part in Germany's submarine problem
in subordination to the United States
which so long and so often has heio
the center Of the stake. The Associated
Press correspondent discussed the situ-
alton today with DR.. Alfred thinner
mann. under secretary for foreign at
fairs, who Indicated that the table has
been cleared and that no negotiations
were In progress as far as the United
States was concerned. He outlined de-
velopments as concerning other neu-
trails.
The case Of Holland is simplest. 1t
concerns only the BioomersdiJk, which
was sunk of the New England coast
by the submarine U-b3. Germany is
unwilling to accept the cabled reports
Of the incident. Full compensation has
been offered in event the commander
exceeded his Instructions.
Spain's grievances have to do with
the sinking Of fruit steamers Strictly
speaking these are legal prizes, as the
cargoes were contraband. Germany
has offered to let fruit ships pass un-
molested If they are provided with
proper certificates, from German con-
suls and il the entente allies permit
the ships to pass-ship for ship-for
the German market. No reply has
been received.
Norwegian measures. barring sub
marines from Norwegian waters, Is
regarded as incompatible with Norwe-
gian neutrality. No exhaustive report
on the legal aspects of the question
has as yet reached DR.. Zimmerman's
hands. He took the position that Nor
way was .unjustihed under internation-
al law in differentiating among classes
Of warships and making rules applying
to one specific class.
DR.. Zimmerman spoke with satisfac-
tion Of the. terms Of Americas reply to
/. the memorandum Of the entente allies
on the treatment Of submarines. He
declared it was marked by true spirit
of neutrality.
4 The appearance and activity Of a
German Submarine OFF the American
coast had not been made the subject Of
diplomatic negotiations or complica-
tions. he continued, and all reports In
dicated that the German commander
had recognized in every way agree
ments between Germany and the Unit
ed States.
