GEORGE
PAYS HOMAGE TO
AMERICAN Navy !

Paris. July 27.-David Lloyd George.
the British premier, today gave break
fast to a number of editors of impor-
tant French newspapers during which
he discussed fully with them the mill
tary situation and replied to questions.
He said that Great Britain now had
between five million and 100000 SOL
diers enrolled, without counting between
100000 and 100000 belonging to the
navy and nearly million men from the
Dominions and colonies. Great Britain
had placed at the disposition of her al
lies from 100000 to 100000 tons of
merchant ships. Next years building
program for merchant ships, which al
ready has begun, amounts to 100000
tons or twice as much as in good
year during peace time Abiding to
the campaign against submarines, Mr.
Lloyd George said:
The diminuton in shipping losses is
incontestable. 1t is impossible to aban-
don this subject without paying homa ge
to the aid given by the American navy.
both regarding the organization Of con-
voys and by torpedo boat destroyers,
which have rendered an invaluable SER

VITAL QUESTION
Is Scandinavian Trade
with Germany
United States Entitled to Act Lord
Robert Cecil Tells the Associated
Press

London, July 2.-Lord Robert Cecil.
the minister of blockade. emphasized in
an interview with the Associated Press
today the vital importance to the Allies
of stopping the trade in iron ore and
wood pulp which the Scandinavian coun-
tries now are carrying on with Germany.
you ask me-" said Lord Robert, ii
the United States Is justified in threat
ening the Scandinavian countries with a
stoppage of food supplies unless the ore
trade is stopped. There is no question at
all that the United States is entitled to
act Whether your country will be justi-
fed in so doing is q question which will
have to be decided at Washington.
"Cectanly it seems here that the Unit
ed States very properly may ask Sweden
whether she wants American products so
much that she is willing to forego her
profits on trade with Germany.
Iron ore and wood pulp traffic between
Scandinavia and Germany is so important
that It Is hard to overestimate it. Our
military and naval people tell me that
without Swedish iron German munition
factories would be in very difficult po-
sition. Sweden is exporting directly to
Germany the fundamental materials for
shells to kill our soldiers and yours.
1T certainly would be a great mistake
to neglect any step which might put a
halt to a traffic which means, every ton
Of It, the loss Of Allied lives"

NASHUA CUT
OFF BY STORM.

Manchester, N. H, July 27.-The long
period Of continued hot weather in years
was broken today by a rain and thunder
storm which deluged this city for half
an hour. The downpour was terrific but
no lightning damage was reported within

was felt worst in Nashua. which was cut
off from this city by telephone and tele-
graph for more than an hour.
More rain fell in Nashua in Is minutes
than has fallen there in a month and the
storm was preceded by a violent gale. A
house on shattuck street owned by A.
z. Dewoif was struck hy lightning.

DRASTIC STEPS
BY kERENSKy TO
PRESERVE RUSSIA

Petrograd, July 27-The extreme
gravity Of the country's position in
the front and rear impels Premier Ke-
rensky to take the exceptional de-
cision, without waiting for the consti-
tuent assembly, to convoke July 81 at
Moscow the extraordinary national
council" All members Of the Duma,
prominent men from chief centers of
the empire, representatives of the
Zemstvos. municipalities, labor unions
and universities will participate
Explaining the scheme today, Pre-
mier kerensky declared that attempts
to move the revolution backwards were
impossible. Conspiracies to restore
monarchlal government will be sup
pressed in the most determined and
merciless way"
AS an indication of the new policy.
Kronstadt received an ultimatum to
hand over three Of the chief Bolsheviki
agitators, including the notorious Ros-
chal. In case of a refusal the island
will be declared blockaded.
The evening newspapers declare the
position on the front is somewhat i'm
proved. AS the evacuation of Tarno-
pol Is considered to have been prema-
ture Russian generals have been or

GUILTY OF DEATH
OF BARNET BAFF

New York. July 27.-A verdict of gull
t. Of murder in the first degree was re-
turned by a jury here tonight against
Joseph Cohen, on trial with David ia
cobs. Jacob Cohen and Abraham Graft,
for joint completely in the murder of
Barnet Baff. the Poultry King" who
was killed by gunner in West Wash
ington Market, Nov. "a, 1914. Graft was
found guilty of manslaughter in the first
degree. Jacob Cohn and Jacobs were
acquitted.
Joseph Cohen is the third man to be
convicted of first degree murder in the
case Jack Ristotto. another of the al
legged gunner, is in the Tombs prison
awaiting trial.
Business rivalry was the motive
which led to the killing of Baff who was
bitter enemy of the so-called Poultry
trust
The murder resulted in many gun
fights between men who were believed
to have knowledge of the plot and who
feared that those suspected might be-
tray them.

Plan TO RATION
north EUROPEAN
NEUTRAL NATIONS

Washington. July PA plan for
rationing the northern European neu-
trail countries was put before Pres
ident Wilson today by the Exports
Council.
A general policy Of supplying Amer
lea first. and allies second and the neu-
trails last was announced by the Pres
ident in his proclamation putting the
export control in operation. but no
specific policy has been adopted. At
present no licenses are issued for ship
ment of goods to the northern neu-
trails. A large number of Scandinavia
an ships loaded with foodstuffs are
awaiting permission to sail The Am
erican government has no intention of
attempting to stop all neutral trade
with Germany but will put an end to
re-shipment of American goods into
enemy territory. 1t will also stop ship
nent from America of supplies intend
cd to replenish stocks which go into
Germany. This applies to cattle feeds.
Gradually the export control will
take the place Of the British system
of letters of assurance. Now, however,
this government lacks information con-
corning consignees in neutral coun-
tries. Great Britain, by declining as
surances for cargoes to consignees I'M
der suspicion. is able to keep many
equipments which might he granted ex-
port licenses, from reaching the enemy.

WEATHER BUREAU
FLAGPOLE is HIT

Boston, July 27.-Lightning today
struck the flag pole on the postoff1ce
building. throwing big splinters into the
street but injuring no one.
The weather man at the top of the
building was probably least disturbed
of the thousands in the business section
who heard the tremendous peal of thun-
der that accompanied the flash.
When asked by telephone whether the
lightning had struck in his vicinity. he
replied:
1T wasn't very near here. We judged
from the time between the fash and the
report that it was half mile away"
a few minutes later. when he learned
that it was the postoffice fiagpole that
was hit. he corrected his first estimate
of the remoteness of the fash.
Two airplanes from the Squantum
aviation training field were carried to
sea By the high wind which accompanied
the electrical storm and for a time
anxiety was felt for their safety, but
they returned to their base as soon as
the squall subsidized.

Big Crowd Bids Fare

Of 9th Co., C. A. c.

Lewiston. Me-. July 27-Promptly at
O'Clock Friday morning Train No.
-. Portland bound, drew out of. the
upper Maine Central station in Lew
iston. Men in khaki filled the steps
and leaned from every window: five
hundred persons, possibly, filled the
station platform. And as the train
slowly drew away-it was almost like
some scene rehearsed upon the stage
every man in the throng waved his
hat, and every woman her handker-
chief. It is not often that a thing is
done so spontaneously. so naturally;
the Ave hundred, moved by a common
impulse. acted as one individual.
There were no cheers, and there
was no applause. A few little ex-
pressicns Of farewell-"Good luck.
boys" and God bless Eou."-were
flung from the crowd as the train
pulled away. Everywhere women
and men, too-were weeping, but
there were no Mysteries. A more quiet
gathering is seldom seen. Emotion
was beneath the surface: the city
was restrained in its grief.
And thus Lewiston babe goodbye
to the Eighth Company Of Coast Ar
tillery-the first military unit to
leave for the war. For the first time
since 1851 there departed from the
city a body Of young men who. in all
human probability are going straight to
the battle field, and some of whom
will not return.
