M|CHAELIS IN FAVOR
OF FIGHT TO FINISH
New German Chancellor De-
clares Submarine Will Be
Means of Winning.

COPENHAGEN. July l9.-Doctor
Michaeis. the new imperial German
chancellor. in his address to the
reichstag Thursday afternoon declared
his adhesion to Gormany's submarine
campaign, asserting II to be "A lawful
measure. justifiably adopted and
adapted for shortening the war.
Doctor Michaelis opened his reich
stag speech with hearty tribute to
DIR. Won Bethmann-IIollw the re-
firing imperial chancellor. whose
work he said history would appreciate.
The chancellor declared that the
war was forced upon unwilling Ger
many by the Russian mobilization and
that the submarine warfare was also
forced upon Germany by Great Brit
aims Illegal blockade starvation war.
The faint hope that America. al
the head OF the neutrals, would check
Great Britain's illegality was vain
Germany's final attempt to avoid the
extremity by peace offer failed and
the submarine campaign was adopted,
said the chancellor.
The submarine, the speaker con-
tinued, had done all and more than
had been expected and the false
prophets, who had predicted the end
of the war at n definite time had
done a dis-service to the fatherland.

Torpedo Misses French
Ship by Less Than Yard

AT ATLANTIC PORT. July IL
The experience of watching a torpedo
from German U-boat. which tooh
part In sinking the American oil
tanker John ID. Archbold, skim along
the length of his own ship about two
feet away and pass on harmlessly,
was related here today by "A sea cap
tain, who returned on French ship
with his crew after delivering a
steamer. built on the great lakes, to
her French purchasers.
The captain said he was watching
the sinking of the Archbold. which
occurred June Is, when suddenly II
submarine periscope was sighted off
his own bow. He Immediately
swerved the course of his ship.
That this saved her is demonstrated
In the course OF the torpedo. At the
time he had brought his stern gun to
bear on the attacker and four shells
were sent at the U-boat.

SUFFRAGETS TlCkLED
TO GET OUT OF JAIL
Not One Accepts Alternative
of Remaining in Jail When
President Pardons.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Sixteen
women sent to the workhouse for
their part in the tumultuOus suffrage
demonstration Saturday at the White
House accepted pardons from Presi-
dent Wilson today and were released
after serving two days of their sixty
day terms.
The prisoners left the workhousc ap-
parently without regret, despite their
previous declarations that they de-
sired to serve out their time without
appeal or clemency, which led to the
department of justice pointing out
that a pardon need not be accepted
unless the prisoners desired 1t.
At the headquarters of the woman's
party the l6 were received as martyrs,
and at a dinner given in their honor
plans were made for continuing the
White House picketing, of which Sat
urday's demonstration was n part. A
defiant statement issued at the head
quarters said the campaign to impress
President Wilson and the country by
parading before the White House
gates would go on without change.
The president acted after the hus-
bands of several of the prisoners had
interceded in their favor and after he
had been told that some of them had
small children at home needing their
care. Some of Mr. Wilson's friends
declared this element undoubtedly
had been the determining influence
with him.
"The presidents action in no way
affects the general suffrage situa-
ton" said tho Woman's party state
ment. THE only difference 1t makes,
as we see 1t, is that the women are out
OF iail. That is a matter of little con-
corn to us compared with the concern
we feel over the great vital issue for
which we are fighting. Picketing will
ba resumed very soon, and with the
utmost vigor."

AMERICANS FIGHT
MEXICAN RAIDERS
Border Patrol Exchanges 500
Shots With Enemy Across
Rio Grande.

MISSION. Texas. July 19.-Approx-
imately five hundred shots were ex-
changed across the Rio Grande to-
day at Ole dc Aqua. eight miles east
OF Mission, between small Ameri-
can border patrol and n number Of
unidentified Mexicans. There were
no American casualties. but latest re-
ports here says that two or .hree
Mexicans were seen to fall during the
engagement. which started 1t IL
o'clock this morning and ceased at s
o'clock. when the Mexicans withdrew
from the river.
The Americans were under COM
mand of Corporal Kent, the identity
of whose regiment Is not known here,
and the fighting started when sew
eral shots wefe fired at the patrol
from the Mexican side. The outpost
at Ojo de Aqua, hearing the Ameri-
cans returning the shots, Immediately
sent reinforcements under Sgt. j. G..
Hengerson. The fighting continued
six hours. Late today Col. B. +. Della
mater reached the scene with one
hundred men from X and NJ COM
panies of the Second Texas infantry
from nearby outposts. A strong pa
troll has been thrown out along the
Rio Grande in the affected section as
precaution against possible at
tempt at border raiding.
Few details of the engagement
reached here tonight. From tho best
Information there were about one
hundred Mexieans who participated
and one report says three distinct
bugle calls were heard. This leads to
the belief that the Americans were
attacked by an organized force.
The last Of the attackers disap-
peared In the brush at o'clock. just
before Colonel Delamater reached Ojo
de Aqua.
