Stockmen Threaten
Railroad Boycott
Incensed Over Dropping of
Spring Lamb from Dining
Car Menus

Chicago, July 23-S. n. Mcclure, of
Salt Lake City, secretary of the Ma
tionsl Wool Growers Association, to-
day declared that Western stockmen
would boycott every railroad that
adopted the proposed food conservation
plan of refusing 70 serve spring LAMB
in its dining cars. According TO Sec
retary Mcclure the stockmen will re-
fuse to patronize the dining cars on
these roads and will ship their stock
over other lines. A telegram from him
received here said:
"Our stockmen took their share or
Liberty bonds, gave bountifully to the
Red Cross and will be heavy payers NJ
war taxes. If their products are to be
boycotted simply because they have
risen in price along with every other
commodity, then our only recourse Is
to do some boycotting ourselves. II we
cannot sell our products then we will
stop raising them
Officials of roads with headquarters
in Chicago, said they would aid the
government in its campaign for food
conservation despite the threat of the
Western stockmen.

Publicist Describes
New Chancellor as
Honest Bureaucrat"
Says Michaelis Disliked Peace
Resolution. and Heart Is Not
in Reforms

Copenhagen, July 23.-Chief Editor
Won Eckardt. of the Hamburg Prem
denblatt," one Of the most prominent
and influential of provincial publicists.
gives in a weekly review an apprecis-
tion of DR.. Georg Michaelis. the I'M
perial Chancellor, and his speech in
the Reichstag, coinciding with senti-
ments quite widely expressed by the
German press. He characterizes the
new Chancellor as an honest bureau
Crat, not q political personality, to
whom the Reichstag peace resolution
was evidently displeasing necessity,
whose heart is not in the question of
the reform of the Prussian franchise,
and who sidestepped the subject of
parliamentarism
The Chancellor's speech, according
to the "Fremdenblatt," excited neither
enthusiasm nor opposition. DR.. Mi
chaelis succeeded in imparting TO the
Reichstag resolution a stronger color
ing and taking from it the character
of an untimely peace tender by laying
emphasis upon Germany's strong posi-
tion on sea and on land.
"The applause bestowed by the Left
upon the Prussian franchise reference
was uncalled for" says the paper. THE
reform can only succeed if the Chan
cellor puts his whole heart into it, not
merely passive acceptance"
Herr Won Eckardt concludes: "Dr.
Michaelis, whose position at the outset
is easy, as the political tempest has
already died away of itself, has still to
prove his qualifications for the post"

Escape Death in Fall

Captain Ronald True, OF the Royal
British Flying Corps, and William A.
Read, one of his pupils, fell seventy
five feet in military biplane at
Speedway Park, Sheepshead Bay, yes
terday, when the engine went dead and
the machine shot almost vertically

smashed and both men were buried in
the debris. Although unconscious when
released, neither was found to have
been injured. Captain True was in
jured seven times on the French front,
and is credited with having brought
down fourteen German machines. He
was granted leave of absence following
his last wound, and has been serving

Sufragists Deserved
Sentences, Declares
Anti-SuFrage Head

Washington, July 23.-The National
Association Opposed 70 Woman Suf-
frage to-day made public a letter from
Mrs. James ". Wadsworth, its presi-
dent, 10 President Wilson. protesting
against the picketing Of the White
House by sufragists OF the Woman's
Party and declaring that the sixteen
pickets were justly sentenced TO sixty
days in the workhouse.
"As a loyal American citizen and a
lifelong resident of the District of
Columbia" wrote Mrs. Wadsworth, al
wish 10 protest against the wilful and
persistent disregard for law and order
Systematically displayed by the mem
bers of the National Womsn's Party.
"Your action in pardoning the sixteen
women sentenced to Occoquan was one
of clemency and not Of justice. II was
a proof of your tolerance and magma
nimity and showed your appreciation
not so much of woman's rights as of
her duty"
Mrs. Wadsworth wrote that the six
teen women went 20 the workhouse
rather than pay a fine "to gain the no
toriety and publicity Of such an action
and then with a transparent mental dis
honesty that is almost inconceivable in
persons of normal intelligence they
advertised their martyrdom TO the
cause of suffrage
They who prattle of democracy and
strive to force the will of the few upon
the vast majority; they who shout Of
patriotism and defame the good name
of their country in the hearing of other
nations; they who prate of equal rights,
but who will not observe them under
law-Mr. President, are these TO be
trusted with the solemn responsibility
OF suffrage?"

Irish Republicans Ask
Support of u. S. to Free
Country of British Rule

Washington, July 23.-The active
support of the United States for the
liberation of Ireland is sought in two
Sim Fein documents presented to-
day to Secretary Tumulty, Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall and Speaker Champ
Clark. The documents are in the form
of letters dated Dublin, June IS, ad-
dressed ITO the President and Con-
gress of the United States" and signed
BY the Irish revolutionists recently re-
leased from English prisons. They
sign themselves officers of the PRO
yisional Government of the Irish Re-
public" Among them is Edward de
Valera, who was recently elected 70
Parliament on the Sim Fein ticket.
The first letter quotes from the text
Of President Wilson'S message TO the
Provisional Government of Russia, lay
ing stress on that portion which states
that the United States stands for the
liberation of peoples everywhere from
the aggressions OF autocratic force"
without awaiting the issue OF the
war or the settlement that may con-
clude the war" the letter concludes,
eve ask the government Of the United
States of America and the govern
ments of the free people Of the world
TO take immediate measures TO inform
themselves accurately, and on the spot,
about the extent OF liberty or at
tempted repression which we may en-
counter"
The second letter, which is signed
bv DR.. Patrick McCartan, F. r. c. 5,
reviews the political events leading up
TO the Irish revolution and the condi-
tions now existing. 1t states that
Irish Republicans will ignore the
"packed convention" proposed by Eng
land unless all the delegates are elect
ed BY the people. 1t points out that
Ireland is now ruled by martial law,
being garrisoned by 10000 English
soldiers and 10000 military police.
"If these facts are not sufficiently
convincing" the letter continues, "the
provisional government is willing to
submit the issue 70 a plebisclte on
franchise similar TO that prevailing IN
the United States, on condition that IT
be superintended by representatives OF
the American and Russian govern
ments.
"With confidence we look for and in
vite the active support Of the govern
nnent and people OF the United States
in our demand for absolute inde-
pendence.
eve hope" it concludes. Americans
will see their way 10 aid in dong ior
Ireland what they did for Cuba

The Aims of France

take away all legitimate causes for
future war"
The Aims of France
France, in replying 20 the Russian
proclamation. asserted that she was in
full community with the ideas OF the
Russian government and people on the
subject Of war aims. France, the reply
continued, does not dream OF depressing
any people, but is resolved that the op-
preston so long weighing on the world
shall be destroyed and the authors Of
the crimes punished. France insisted
upon recovery Of Alsace-Lorraine, and
declared she would fight until full in
IDENTITIES were paid for the ravages
committed by the enemy.
II was indicated to-day that Russia
requires formal declarations b. her
allies before the world that they re-
nounce all claims to anneXations and
indemnities, as Russia has already re-
nounced them, this demand having the
force of a mandate from the Russian
democracy.
II is problematical whether the En-
tente's programme will be indorsed By
Russia, but il is not doubted that
Russia sympathizes with the French
aspiration to recover her two lost
provinces and 10 collect from Germany
damages for the destructive work of
the German armies in occupied portions
of French territory. Britain, on the
other hand, is not expected to disclaim
an intention of keeping captured Ger
man colonies in Africa, and there is
considerable anxiety in some quarters
here as TO bow Russia will view this
form of annexation

Il Is hard TO realize that the original

that, big as 1t is, close upon $4,000 TONS
it has been far surpassed In tonnage
and armament, observes an exchange
1t gave new word to the world, for
the name of the ship, one of the tradi-

now applied to all ships Of Its class
in every country. The word has taken
the place of man of war, line of battle,
ship, and ironclad. Even now we have

is interesting to bark back to the most
famous of Nelson's ships, probably the
most famed vessel which ever sailed

it with even the first dreadnaught. The
latter took IA months to complete and
