deleted the Presidents Memorial Day
proclamation that it read like PRAYER
for peace instead Of a prayer for VIC
tory.
W. L. Springer is one Of the Hills
dale citizens who has taken a stand
against Hearst papers. An article by
Mr.. Springer, entitled care the Ger
mans Coming or Going" recently was
circulated by the American Defence
Society. When Mr.. Springer asks one
of his neighbors to shun Hearst papers
in the future, he accompanies his ap-
peal with one Of his articles. with this
section marked:

Lewis Says Liquor
Charges Are False

ALBANY, June 20.-Smarting under
the accusation that he is the candidate
OF the liquor dealers, Attorney General
Merton E. Lewis to-day wrote a letter
to Governor Whitman, which is gen
orally taken there to show that the
Republican state primary fight will be
marked by much bitterness.
The Attorney General asserts that
William II. Anderson, state superin-
tendent OF the Anti-Saloon League, is
the real Whitman campaign manager.
and intinlates that campaign of mis-
representation is being carried on by
his opponents. In reply to the charge
lining him up with the liquor dealers,
he writes that on the Question of
temperance and personal habits" he
ter follows:
81 take it that the letters written
to me by one Anderson, who, / under
stand, is your real campaign manager
and campaign fund collector, were
written with your full approval. as
sumo this to be SO for the reason that
you were the first to characterize me
az the candidate of the liquor dealers.
No one knows better than you the
falsity of this Characterization.
"If your programme is to continue
on the question of temperance and
personal habits, ! invite the closest
scrutiny. Are you willing to issue a
similar invitation?

deceit and Misrepresentation hut 7 do

S. Stanwood Menkcn, president Of the

offices for the first time yesterday since

Other members Of the league were
not so reticent. Among these was T.. A,

Should the Westchestcr County
Court uphold Mr.. Esser's demurrer
proceedings the continuance Of the in
junction granted by Justice Giegerich
in New York County falls through, and
the Corporation Counsel stated local
authorities will be free to turn their
attention to enforcing the city ordi-
nance. A statement by Mr.. Esser eol-
lows. III part:
ITO day Judge Scott served upon me
notice of amended complaint. This
can only be interpreted as an indica-
tion upon his part that my objection
before Judge Giegerich that the com
plaint in the action was insufficient
was absolutely sound.
Consequently if the original COM
plant was insufficient the injunction
should never have been granted. The
amended complaint is the one which
will be before the court tomorrow.
I will take the position that it is little
better than the original complaint. I
have always maintained that our local
officials We're hailed into New York
County for no other reason than to
remove the scene Of the action from
our own county.
"If the court tomorrow upholds my
demurrer proceedings the New York
County injunction falls through and
Mount Vernon officials may consider

"The next step in the proceedings

Enright Draws Panic Picture
In Telling Of Air Raid DANCE
Police Commissioner Says Every Precaution Being Taken

An appalling picture of panic
stricken Office workers piled three deep
in the downtown streets as a result of
possible German air raids was drawn
yesterday by Police Commissioner En-
right in a speech before the Queens
Chamber of Commerce in Long Island
City. A source Of danger, he said, was
great mass Of high explosives stored
within the heart of the business dis
trict.
Every precaution has been taken to
avert unnecessary loss of life in case
of attack, Mr.. Enright declared. Emer-
gency forces to cope with such catas-
drill office employees are under way, and
it is hoped that New York will never
be called upon to face the disastrous
consequences that followed the first
raids on London.

partment is meeting the situation in q
big way" said Mr.. Enright. "In every
precinct ten men Of the regular force
and an equal number of reserves are
assigned to an emergency unit. Doc
tors and automobile owners have been
commissioned to help, and we can Sc
cure hospital accommodations for al
most any number of victims"
"Ordinarily there is practically no
provision for the people to escape from
the big office buildings in case of
danger. If left to themselves they
would rush to the elevators and stair
ways. In the Equitable Building, for
instance, there are twenty thousand
workers. If they all tried to leave in
hurry stampede and great loss of
life would be almost inevitable. If all
the downtown buildings were emptied

MONTCLA1R, N. j., June 2O.-If an
ordinance offered to the Commission
Board Of the town of Montciair by the
Town Attorney tonight is adopted it
will be misdemeanor, punishable by
a fine of SO, to offer ''T'he New York

papers named above and other news
papers published by William Randolph
Herrst seem to be endeavoring to OBJ
struct the full and vigorous -prosecu-
ton of the war against the ncmies
Of the civilized world by attacks on
our Allies, and also appears to be en-
deavoring to obstruct our full and
hearty cooperation in the war; there
fore,
"Be it resolved, That we condemn
such attitude on the part of these
! papers as un-American and inimicable
to the interests Of the American and
world democracy and serious menace
to America in its hours of trial; and
"Be it. further resolved, that the
Board Of Commissioners considers
either the purchase or the sale of these
papers 80 long as they continue pub
lication along such lines to be highly
unpatriotic act and help and a com
fort to the enemies Of our country;

"Be 1t also resolved, that a copy of

Liner Escapes
U-Boat 18O Miles
OF Sandy Hook
Raider Sighted Three
Times Apparently Awed
by Guns
BY BRIGGS

Officers on an American steamship
from the Canal Zone reported on ar
rival yesterday that they had encoun-
tered a U-boat about one hundred and
eighty miles south Of Sandy Hook and
some forty miles off shore. The Ger
man submerged within minute after
she was first observed, but pursued the
merchantmen for nearly three hours.
The steamship was proceeding north
ward Wednesday on a course we'll off
the regular northbound lane. Pas
sengers as we'll as officers and crew
were watching for the enemy At4:15
p. m. the lookout on the forecastle head
and the officers on the bridge observed
the coming tower Of the German
undersea raider off the starboard bow
about half a mile away.
Gun Crew Ready
Before the gun crew forward was
able to train the gun upon the enemy it
submerged. Instantly the captain Or r.
dered full speed and put about, head
ing for the south. The stern gun was
then made ready il the submarine
chanced to come to the surface.
Within fortyfve minutes the raider
again came up, this time showing more
Of her superstructure, including gun
tore and aft. She was about three
miles north of the fleeing merchants
man.
Although the steamship travelled
south under forced draft. the sub
marine managed to keep fairly well up
to her, but the distance between them
was too great for either to waste a
shot.
U-Boat Would Not Take Chance
The raider submerged again. and was
seen later about 7:40 D. m, when the
steamship headed due east. Lifeboats
we're swung out when the German was
first sighted and the tifty-seven pas
sengers were told to get ready for
an emergency. Some of the women and
children became alarmed, but were
quieted when informed that the sub
marine was perhaps one from the
United States navy and that the pre-
cautions were merely taken in accord
ance with the rule of safety first.
II is believed aboard the steamship
that the submarine was ready TO at
tack, but on observing that the vessel
was armed was not willing to take
chances.
