Another interesting suggestion here

ness" does not pay, and that Chancel-
Tor Won Bethmann Hollwegs role is
that Of a man who, having only reluct-
antly agreed to Unrestricted submarine
warfare is seeking, now that his posi-
ton as chief adviser to the emperor
is strengthened by the failure OF that
particular form of frightfulness, to
force the extreme Pan-GerTnan school
into acquiescence in a moderate policy,
which might have as its basis mo
annexations and no indemnities'' pro-
gram, on which negotiations for peace
might be opened with some chance OF
success.
The reports current in The Hague

veg and his whole cabinet had resign

LONDON SEES SIGNS OF 0VERTuRES
FROM GERMANY; REALIZATION OF
|U-b0AT FAILURE FIGURES IN CRISIS

London July 14.-In diplomatic
quarters in London; where the Ger
man political crisis Is being followed
with close attention it is suggested that
the present developments are possibly
preliminary to overtures for peace
from Germany.
Premier Lloyd George estimated in
a recent4speecha thatsit would be- easier
to negotiate with democratized Ger
many than with am a.utocradc govern
ment, and President Wilson on var
ious occasions has referred to the diff
fculty, not to say impossibility. of OBJ
tanning a lasting peace with the Ho-
henzol1erns.
The imperial rescript, giving equal
suffrage to Prussia, is regarded here as
being possibly in the direction OF Gre
ating an appearance of a democratized
government, which could expect easier
terms of peace. Lord Robert Cecil, in
a talk with the American correspond
ents today, said, however, that the
German people possessed suffrage, but
the reichstag, elected by the people,
nevertheless had no such control over
the nations destinies as the American
congress or, the British parliament.
The imperial gift of equal suffrage to
Prussia may be an empty formula SO
far as real characterization of the
government Is concerned.

JAP AN APPROVES
APPOINTME OF
IsSHII TO U. S.

! Toxic, July 14-General satisfaction
is expressed in Japan at the appoint
ment of Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, for
merly Minister for Foreign Affairs,
as special envoy to the United Sta es
in connection with the present war.
The appointment was made personally
by Emperor Yoshihito, by virtue of a
special ordinance by which Viscount
Ishii is designated as temporary AM
bassador Extraordinary. The ser
vice of installation was attended by
Premier Count Terauchi, Prince Ia
katsukasa, Grand Chamberlain and
others.
It was expected that the commits
sion would leave for the United States
July 3 on the steamer Shingo Maru
and spend some thre. months in that
country, visiting Washington and 9TH
Ter cities. The delegates. who accom-
pany Viscount Ishii were selected
They include Vice-Admiral Isamu
attache at Washington and who was
detiled as captain of the Japanese
cruiser Izumo when that warship par
ticipated in the festival at San
Francisco some years ago; Major
General Shoichi Sugano, who has been
attached to the, general staff since
1915 and who has been military at
tache at London; Matsuzo Nagai Of the
Foreign Office who has been en-
bassy secretary at W|hington and
Consul General at New York and San
Francisco; Commander Shikyo Ando;
Major Seiji Tanikawa and Tadanao
Imai of the consular service.
The selection of Viscount Ishii as
chief envoy is welcomed by the press
even of the opposition, because he
was foreign minister Of the cabinet of
Marquis Okuna which was supported
by the Constitutional or opposition
party. The Terauchi ministry is
praised, therefore, for it's broad mind
edness in choosing a diplomat of
rather anti-government leaning The
selection was made, however, regard
less of party considerations and was
based solely upon Viscount Ishii's fit
ness and capacity in advancing a uni
fed japanese policy in the present
world crisis.
Marquis Olkuma personally voiced
his satisfaction and expressed the
opinion that the commission would
contribute much towards cementing

was born Emmeline Goulden and first
saw the light Of day in Manchester,

in 1879 she met DR.. Pankhurst, a dis
tinguished barrister, who had been a
member Of the first Woman Suffrage
Society, founded by John Stuart Mill.
They were married in the same year.
From then on Mrs. Pankhurst be-
cam active in the fight for woman
suffrage. She preached her doctrines
all over England and became the

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

There is not much noisy celebra-
ton today in France of Bastille Bay,
the French Fourth Of July, but deep
in the hearts of Frenchmen the mem
DRY Of this day remains to spur them
on to further deeds Of heroism. The
French revolution really began on
July IL, 1889, following the dismissal
of Necker. The people were enraged.
They pillaged the shops where arms
were sold and then followed a reign
of terror. Bandits roved through the
streets plundering shops and houses.
During the night of the 18th all the
barriers were forced and set on fire.
The crowds seemed to have gone mad
with desire to shoot and destroy. Soon
the cry arose: "On to the Bastille."
The authorities did everything they
could to put down the insurrection
but they were helpless. At the Ba-
title a great concourse of people had
gathered. There were, in fact more
spectators curious to see what would
happen, than there were participants
In the outbreak. The garrison at the
Bastille, however, thinking that all
Paris had come to drive them out,
surrendered before any attack was
made. That was on July IA, 1889,
one Of the most eventfu1 days in
French history. 2 It was the beginning
of the French Revolution, the end Of
which did not come until five years
later. The King, Upon the fall Of the
Bastille, yielded all that the people
demanded of him. The middle classes,
however, did not stop the struggle
until 1892. This revolution surpassed
any other in history and was destin-
ed to influence the history of all Eur
ope for many years to come. It is
interesting to note that while the
Frnch threw off the yoke Of royalty
at that time. their existence as re-
public lasted only a few years, when
Napoleon became ascendant and took
to himself imperial honors.
