Republican Leaders In- cluding King Pledged. Support to the Drys County Commissioners Trying to Club Arous- ed Liquor Interests in Line.

Whom does the Republican ma chine intend to support during the present mayoralty campaign-the Ii- Quor interests or the prohibitionists? The party, through its leader, John T. King. openly announced that it would support the anto-saloon drive at a meeting of the prohibitionists last summer, which King attended.
 It is evident that King has regret ted his step and it is questionable if his tact as a political diplomat will extricate him from the .1bad hole' in which he finds himself. He has in- Structed the county commissioners to club the salonnkeepers and liquor dealers into line by telling them that he fE not supporting prohibition Inter eHts- The superintendents of the fro and police departments- king ap- i pointees signed the dry petition.
 Again King pledged his support to the no-hcense advocates about a l month ago when he addressed the mems assembly at the Universalist church on Faiffeld avenue During his rally speeches last week King .avoided saying anything whatever labout the liquor question, but imme- ldiately 5olted the county commissions CTS, by giving them instructions to Ispread among the liquor dealers the Ifact that he was not opposed to h- qnor-
 workers of both major parties were frank to admit today that Kings stand will lose many votes for the Re publican ticket. There are approxi- mately 800 saloonksepers in the cits and they, are regarded as a strong | factor in all elections.
 The saloon proprietors are reported determined to beat the party, whose leader would put them out of busi ness. The question is freely discussed fr every saloon in the city. Signeri of the anti-saloon petition are openl. criticised and termed "hypocrites.' An officiai of the liquor dealers asso citation has pointed out more than ; score of names in the list of the 8 signers of the originaT petition, talk ! a daily rntp."

 The newspapers take two divergent lines of criticism regarding the attack on the conveyed merchantmen. Ac- cording to one view the incident was one that no foresight or vigilance could have averted and. although re 2. grettable in every way, cannot exer- else any decisive effect.
 On the other hand, some newspa- pers ask what has become of the daunted British command of the North sea. One newspaper com ments as follows:
 ''The occurrence is extremely dis ouieting. With the whole American navy working in conjunction with ours and with our patrol relieved cou1n pletely of the task of searching ves- sels coming from America, we ought to have ample margin of security against such mischances.'

BRITISH DESTROYER FIGHTS. PERIODICALLY FOR HAL FLOUR

London. Oct. 22-The British des- troyer Mary Rose fought single handed against the German cruisers in the convoy action in the North sea, according to story ascriped to a British officer rescued off Bergen and transmitted by the Christiania of the Times. The other destroyer, which should have
 been present, never appeared. and it is thought likely that 1t was destroy ed at the beginning of the action. After fighting heroically for, half
 an hour, during which she was sub- jected to the most terrific concentrie i fire, the Mary Rose sank. Ten mem bers of the crew were found clingins to buoys and were rescued.
