OF

Contempt of England
BY WILLIAM T. HoRNADAY.

BY WILLIAM T. HORNADAY.
MONG fighters, only the fool
"A will underrate his adversary.
IHI Per contra, it is only the fool
who overestimates his own
strength. The Germans of
Germany made both those plumbers.
The German navy is strange mix
ture, of brave men and towards, OF
gallant gentlemen, and murderous
ours and all of them are directed by
asses. No sooner is a gallant feat OF
seamanship recorded and acclaimed
than it is completely beclouded and be-
smirched by some act of dirty cruelty
which turns admiration into loathins.
The history of German naval doings in
this war>is like a checkerboard of black
and white squares; but the few re-
naming white squares are rapidly
turning black.
In commerce raiding the Germans
are great and the E-boat is a wonder.
The more humble The prey, the better
for the boat But the U-boat is mighty
careful not to tackle destroyer, and
take sporting chance; and when he
finds that his tramp freighter prey is
armed. he feels that he is indeed in
! hard luck. His favorite warfare is
| fighting. with torpedoes and guns ga :
lore, unarmed fishing smacks and
rusty tramp steamers. His favorite
order is. FIRE WHEN YOU SEE
| THEM SPIT ON THE BAIT"
! And now he has taken on the habi,
| of Smelling life boats loaded to the
| gunwales with helpless crews, AMI
sending them all to the bottom. Some
times the gallant u boat captain comes
close up, and NE and his crew come
! out and jeer at drowning men and
| women as they struggle in icy waters
The German high seas fleet is grand
at. running for cover whenever tbs
British get chance at it. The manner
in which the Bluecher was left to its
| fate while all the other gallant bat
| tleships of the German fleet madly
scuttled for the Kiel canal, had its
! comical side; but it was truly typica
of the kaiser's navy. 1t is said that
after that event Tirpitz provided his
naval code with a new signal, reading
Every man for himself, and England
take the hindmost."
Germany's bid for the supremacy OF
the seas was far too low; and it has
cost her heavily.

EMMA GOLDMAN AND
 HERMAN LOCKED UP
Arrests Made in Raid on Headquarters
 of Non -Conscription League.

New York, June 15.-Emma Gold man, editor of Mother Earth" and Alexander Berkman, editor of "The Blast, known throughout the United States as anarchists, were locked up in the Tombs tonight on a complaint charging them with engaging in a conspiracy to induce men of military age not to register under the selective draft law.
 The arrests were made by Thomas D. Mccarthy, United States marshal, in raid on the headquarters of the No-Conscription League.
 Neither Miss Goldman nor Berkman seemed perturbed at their arrest. The former was smiling when she was led to her cell. She has previously served a term in the city pen1tentiary for in citing to riot during the cloak makers strike.
 Berkman was no stranger to prison life as he served fourteen years of a twenty year term for shooting Henry c. Prick.
 After consultation with their counsel, the anarchists decided not to insist on an immediate arraignment but were promised a hearing tomorrow before United States commissioner.

St. Louis sS1, 300, 900, estimated up- on returns to the federal reserve bank Kansas City $90,OO0,O00. estimated by the federal reserve bank. Minneapolis S62, ,000, 900, estimated by Governor Wold of the federal reserve bank.
 Dallas, $47,OOO.o .oOo, estimated by the federal reserve bank. Populations at 430 D. m. were S150, ,000 900. On the face of these estimates it ap- peared unlikely that the total would fail below S2,600, 100000. It also ap- peared that three reserve districts, At Ianta, Kansas City and Minneapolis, would fall below their minimum a1lot- ment.
 Statement by Secretary McAdoo.
 Secretary McAdoo announced the r-subscription shortly after the closing of the books in the east.
 "The Liberty. loan has been over subscribed" he said. Tt is impossi- ble to state the amount of the over subscription but the exact figures will be given out as rapidly as the returns are received at the treasury depart ment.
 'I desire to express my deep appre citation of the efficient and patriotic service you have rendered in connec- tion with the Liberty loan, the success of which has been so striking and pleasing to the country" Secretary Me Adoo tonight telegraphed all reserve banks, will you not convey to the Liberty loan committees of your dis trict, to the banks and to all other or ganizations which have cooperatcd with you in this great Liberty loan en- terprise the assurance of my warm ap- preciation as well my cordial thanks.
 will you not also urge these com mittees to preserve their organizations in order that they may be prepared to render signal services of like charac- ter to their government when it is called upon again to seek an addi- tionaI credit? It is of the utmost inn portance that the splendid machinery now perfected shall be available when needed"
 Second Loan in the Fall.
 This machinery, MT. McAdoo indi cated. will be utilized this fall in float ing the second loan contemplated uH- der the s7,O00, ,O00,90 war finance law. Mir. McAdoo said he did not think there would be another offering be- fore fall. The next loan hardly will be closed. it is thought, prior to Septem- Der 30, as iustallments on the pres ent loan will continue till August 30 and at least thirty days probably will be devoted to the second campaign.
 Exact Results Next Week.
 The exact measure of the country's response to the loan probably will not be known until next week.

and anxious consideration to the posi- ton of Irish political prisoners and have arrived a the decision it is now my duty to announce.
 The government have felt, after giving careful conSidera tion to the ap- preaching session of the convention in which Irishmen themselves will meet to settle the difficult problems of the future administration of their country that this great experiment will mark a new era in the relations between Ireland, the United Kingdom and the empire. It is. therefore desirable that tte convention should meet in an atmosphere of harmony and good will in which all parties can unrea served ly join. Nothing could be more re- grettabIe than that the work of the convention should be prejudiced at the outset by embittered associations which might even hinder the settle ment to which all look forward with hope.
 Release Is Without Reservation.
 'Tn these circumstances the govern Inent have decided they cannot give better earnest of the spirit in which they approach the convention than by removing one of the main causes of the serious nnisunderStanding of this subiec1 which 1t is in their power to deal They have decided, therefore upon the release without reserva tiOn Cf ali prisoners now in confinement in connection with the recent rebellion in Ireland.
 To Effect Reconciliation.
 ''In recommending to the king eThnts of special amnesty to the persons in question, the government have been inspired by the sanguine hope that their action will be welcomed in spirit of magnanimity and that the convention will enter upon it's ardu- ous undertaking. in corcumstanceH that will constitute a good agury for the reco1ciliation which 1t is the desire of all parties in every part of the Unit ed Kingdom and the British empire"
 Joseph Devlin expressed his grati- tude at the decision of the govern ment but though had they been ad- vised to come to decision earlier they would have avoided much irritation and created at a much earlier period the pripit of reconciliation and good temper which they hoped would pre- vail in the future,

Washington. June 15.-The American people have responded to the govern ment's call for funds to finance the war with an over-su bscription to the S2.0OO. 0OO. 900 Liberty loan of proper tions so huge that officials are buried beneath a landslide of untabulated re- turns.
 No man could sty at ten o'clock how great had been the nations an swer. Apparer tly it was oVerWhelm- = ing beyond the most sanguine hopes of treasury officials, though not one of the twelve federal reserve banks could hazard more than an estimate of its total
 Multitude of Small Investors.
 In the counti-y's ringing answer to the call, the dominant note was the voice of the small investor. His noncy talked this last day of the campaign in eloquent terms The hope for a wide spread response. of the average man than realized in multitudes that flock ed to the banks today. It appear-d tonight that all previous estimates had gone by the boards and that near.y three million men and women had bought their bonds.
 Tn the absence of official figures to- night officials hesitated to predict how high the total would soar. It mounted Bumed such proportions that1thcre was an apparent =inclination to accent with some allowances the rosy estimates of local Liberty loan committees as to the totals of their districts.
 At the treasury a note of cons rvf- tism was sounded concerning these estimates. It was figured that tEe committees, flushed with success, might be over-o optimistic and thera was manifested u11willingness to ac- Cept as final any estimates until yer filed by actual tabulations.
 Estimates from the twelve reserve districts, some of them unofficial, but mostly from local loan committee, in tiicated late tonight that the subs rip tions might reach the total of S2. S6z, 300 900. These estimates, which were not vouched for as authorit tive at the treasury department, were as follows:
 Amounts From Various Districts.

FRUITLESS DISCUSSION
 ON PRIORITY SHIPMENTS Which Would Put Complete Power in President Wilson's Hands.

Washington, June I5-After anoth- CT day of fruitless discussion of the bill empowering the president to order priority in railroad transpOrta- tion administration leaders tonight planned to force a final vote on the measure tomorrow if possible.
 Senator Newlands gave notice that he would move tomorrow to ike a time for a final vote upon the bill. He also decided to withdraw modifying amendments, to which many oppents had assented and to stand upon the original administration draft with a single modification denying damages to railroads for losses due to prior rout- ingS ordered.
 The amendments agreed to in con- ference yesterday would have given the Interstate Commerce Commission instead of the president the power to determine prior routings of all but military forces and supplies. Admin istration senators refused to accept the compromise.
 Amendments to be offered tomor- row by the oppiSion will propose that presidential priority orders be limit ed to military necessities" or what the Interstate Commerc Commission or a special board of three members nam by the president and approved by the senate shall have the power to direct priority transportation.
