LONDON, August 6-The address of
the American ambassador. Walter H.
Page, in the Guild Hall at Plymouth
Saturday night, was especially plea
for method whereby a better mutual
understanding of American and British
peoples may be achieved and is hearth
ly approved in editorials in the news
papers. The importance of such an
understanding. apart and in addition
to harmonious relations Of the two gov
ernmentS, is insisted upon and Mr.. Page
is thanked for emphasizing with reason
and insight the need for such an inter-
national companionship and for sug-
costing an educational campaign in
both countries to that end.
1t is argued that the peace of the
world depends far beyond anything
else upon a working union between its
democfacies. especially between the
United States and Great Britain, while
the prospect of establishing the perma-
garded by the Post as leading Ito the
possibility of an alliance of the two
great Englsh-speaking nations to
maintain the peace of the world. 1t is
yet far off. but it is a possibility and
can be achieved. The ideal has long
been the hope of both these countries
who are friends of one another, but it
has been reserved for Germany to teach
the two nations that such an alliance
is necessary and practicable"

Charges Of Espionage Made.

The charges were that valente had
communicated to Austria political and
military information concerning Italy
accepting in recompense large sums of
money. Pomarici was also accused OF
espionage Monsignor Gerlach and Am
brogetti were accused of having had
during 1915, touch. both personal and
by correspondence, with the enemy by
means of spies, and through them to
have transmitted large sums of Austro-
German money to Nicolosi-Raspaglios
and Garcea, respectively editors and
proprietors of the publications La Wit
toria and II Bastone. Nicolosi and Gar
: .cea were accused of accepting money
from Austria in return for having kept
up an attitude hostile to Italy.
Mgr. Gerlach and Pomarici had no
4 defense, as Italian law does not per-
NIT this in the case of absent persons
on trial. 1t Is interesting to recall

STOCKHOLM. Sweden. August 6
Pleasure motoring and motor boat
cruising in Sweden were practically
which have gone into effect. Cards
are issued permitting only such driving
as is necessary. Sweden already has
bread, sugar and coffee cards, while
spirit ration books and milk cards will
The automobile and motor boat re-
strictions will bring about a great
change in Stockholm. and especially on
the waters in its vicinity. where boat
ing has been the chief pastime on all
holidays. All night motoring has been
stopped. and only the public vehicles
which serve a few incoming long dis
lance trains are permitted on the
streets after pm. There are only 106
public automobiles in Swedens capital,
and 1t is believed that horse vehicles
will now reappear.
Night motoring already has been
stopped in Copenhagen, Denmark. and
those motoring by day are subject to
many restrictions. including the neces-
sity of using adulterated gasoline, the
odor of which is abominable. No
motoring is permitted on Sundays.
Fuel and lighting problems in Scandi-
navia are becoming acute. In this city
1000 apartment houses are without

scarce and costly. Copenhagen has

for the coming winter in case Germany
does not permit extensive imports from
England. Many families bought coal
in the spring at low prices, but the
state has seized all bought since Feb
ruary. and the supply will be pooled
for the common good.
Copenhagen families next winter will
be permitted to heat only two rooms in
the house. In the kitchen, where gas is
used, it cannot be burned during GER
tain hours under penalty of having it
shut off entirely for five months. In
Sweden there is kerosene famine, and
no supply is in sight for private con-
sumers.

Appeal to Higher Courts.

The other cases are less interesting.
Pomarici is a refugee in Switzerland.
There was considerable surprise at the
lightness of the penalties inflicted.
Excepting Mgr Gerlach and Poma-
rici. all the condemned have appealed
to the higher courts; but 1t seems i'm
probabl that their sentences will be
in any way lightened thereby.
In pronouncing its verdict the court
specifically denied that the Vatican was
in any way implicated in the affair,
silencing thereby many tongues.

LEARN TO SWIM.-Heroism is a
most commendable quality. The Car
negie hero fund commission encour-
ages it by granting medals and gifts
of cash to live heroes or to the near
surviving relatives Of heroes who
sacrifice their lives for others.
Just the same, if herOism con-
sists in the picturesque struggle to
save another's life from fire or flood
or accident, there is too much of it
or, rather, there is too much oppOr-
tunity for the exercise of it.
In the last annual report of the
hero fund commission there are 1877
cases Of rewarded heroism recorded.

SPRING

Spring is natures apology for
summer and winter.
Every one, including the man who
froze his face last January and the
man who suffered a heat prostration
last. August, is supposed to be happy
in spring.
Spring is the time of the year
when radiators, tea kettles and
prima donnas quit singing and the
birds begin.
Spring is everywhere in spring. In
the step, the eye, the atmosphere,
everywhere. There's only one place
where spring isn't. That's in a $1-a-
day. hotel bed.
The only unpleasant thing about
spring is poets.

Movies Of Navy
TO Be Shown Here
PAGE THREE

The United States government has
taken mo ing pictures of the United
States navy and the lie or its officers
and men. These pictures are intense
lly interesting to the officers and men
of the navy, as well as to all classes
of civilians, old and young, They are
mainly of educational value, showing
as in real life the details Of the life
of the men and boys of the navy,
both aboard ship and ashore. They
will be shown in Ashland June 81
and 2S, time and place to be an
nounced later.
OF intense interest are the pictures
of the daily routine of life aboard
ship, showing the men at work and
play, from the most pleasant sports
Of boxing and swimming to the hard
est of work, of coaling ship, when of
ficers and men alike don their dun
garees and work together with shovel
and wheelbarrow.
The Atlantic fleet in southern wa
ters is shown landing thousands Of
men as would take place ON foreign
shores. They are being protected by
the firing of the fleets big guns
shown in the distance and then on
landing a real battle action is shown,
in which the men act as infantry with
the marines of the landing party.
or unusual interest is the annual
contest in all athletic sports for the
fleet trophy. Athletic teams of all
battleships contest for the ship tro-
phies. The squadron trophies are
played for and then the final fleet
trophy These sports are the occa-
sion for officers and men of the navy

contests are witnessed by thousands
of men of Uncle Sans navy-your
