last, when returning to this country
from Eourope and seventy lives were
lost. The second was the Tuscania,

That German submarines are oper-

is evidenced by the sinking of the
steamer Inniscarra, of Cork, with loss

David Lloyd George, speaking at Ed

is still unconquered, but that it is no

being destroyed.

SECRETARY BAKERS PATRIOTIC APPEAL.

ysSIERE nothing Of local nature about the Con-
sumers' League dinner held in the Hotel dupont
last evening" except the setting In which the delightful
function held.
Nor it be said truthfuly that it was merely
tiona In its scope and effect In respects than
one it assumed an international nature which made OF It
the important dinner that has been held this city
this season.
Seated at the guest table were representatives OF
France, Great Britain. Italy and the United States.
The speaker Of the evening the Hon. Newton d.
Baker Secretary Of War Of the United States and prom
nent and potential official figure in the World War.
The presiding officer General T. Coleman dupont.
Of the popular members Of large influential,
patriotic pubc-sprited and enterprislns family that
perhaps has done more through It's enterprises
and It's other lines of effort than has other single
family in the world to enable the Allied nations to win
the World War.
The dinner was attended by overseas and other army
officers which gave II added tnge Of nternation-
alism
In addition it brought together in mind and
with common purpose one OF the most representative
assemblages Of men and women in our city
The address delivered by Secretary Baker ad-
mrabe utterance Of both national and international inn
port and patriotic inspiration to all who heard H.
It free from partisan tncture and resolved itself
into an eloquent appeal to Americans TO throw into the
work Of national reconstruction following peace. the
patriotic zeal and energy that they displayed In
the work Of preparing their country for the prosecution
of successful and the handling Of the varied prob
lens which attended such warlike operations.
What Secretary Baker said made a profound impress
sion upon his auditors, who showed by their frequent
outbursts Of applause that they in hearty accord
with the sentiment he expressed
