of the Justicia have been landed here.
They report that the liner was sunk

submarines. NO passengers were lost,
and only ten of the crew were killed.
The first torpedo struck the engine
room, and the ship then stopped. Sew
eral other torpedoes We're fired, but
only two of the missiles We're effec-
tive.
The Justicia was formerly the Dutch
steamer Statendam, which was taken
over by the British government on the

On her last trip from an Atlantic

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. - President Wilson
Tuesday issued proclamation taking
over control of telegraph, telephone,
cable and radio systems for the dura-
tion of the war, effective Wednesday,
July 81. Authority to operate the wire
system is vested in the postmaster
general
Ocean cable lines and radio systems
are not included in President Wilson s
proclamation.
The Presidents proclamation pro
vides that the postmaster general, II
he so elects, may administer the lines
through the owners managers, boards
of directors or receivers. 1t provides
further that until the postmaster-gen'
eral directs otherwise the present
managements shall continue.
Regular dividends previously de-
clared, and interest in maturing obli'
cations shall continue to be paid until
the postmaster general directs other
wise; and subject to his approval the
companies may arrange renewal and
extension of maturing obligations.
The postmaster general in his dis
cretion may hereafter relinquish in
whole or in part to the owners any
telegraph or telephone system over
which he has assumed control.
Postmaster General Burleson, in a
statement explaining his plans In
operating the wire systems, said there
would be no change affecting the
press wire service except to improve
ii wherever possible.
Mr.. Burleson also said that opera
tion and control of farmers telephone
lines would be interfered with only
for the purpose of facilitating then
connection with longer lines.
1t was assumed that control oil
cables was not taken over because oi
contracts cable companies hold with
foreign governments. Radio systems
already are controlled by the Navy
Department.
Postmaster General Burleson will
personally take charge of the admin
istration of wire communications and
will be assisted by committee OF
three, composed of John l.. Rooms
first assistant postmaster general, in
subjects of organization and admin
istration; David j. Lewis, former con
gressman from Maryland, now a mem
Der of the Tariff Commission, on sub
jects of operation; and William ii. La
mar, solicitor for the Postoffice De
partment on matters of finance.

Amsterdam. - Germany has made
suggestions for a peace conference to
the Spanish government, says the So
cialist Vorwaerts of Berlin. The sug-
gestions are:
First-Germany wants no anneXa-
tions or indemnities in the west.
Second-The peace treaties with
Russia ant Rumania may not be Ques-
toned
Third-The principle of self-deter-
mination of peoples has not beer dis
cussed, but may be settled at the peace
conference where the fate of Belgium
also is to be settled.
Fourth-The Balkan question is to
be settled around the conference ta
BILE.
Fifth-The freedom of the seas, the
dismantling of Gibraltar and the Suez
canal and the right for Germany to use
coaling stations.
Sixth-The colonial question is tc
be settled on the basis of status quo.
The Vorwaerts considers this very
reasonable peace program.
Germany's purpose to retain thu
spoils she has wrung from Russia ant
Rumania is directly at variance witt

onded by Great Britain, OF his firm in

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, July 25.-Along
the line north of Chateau Thierry the
Franco American forces have driven
the Germans out of nearly all of the
Chatelet forest. American cavalry is
in action for the first time in this
war
In spite of desperate efforts of the
Germans to bring up reserves and
stabilize the lines on each side of the
salient from Soissons to Rheims, the
allies are pressing forward in vital
sectors on the front south of scissors
and near Rheims.
Allied airmen report conditions

tenable by the allies advance near

Just south of scissors the French

the allies succeed in crossing the Crise
and in gaining the plateau east of that
stream, German occupation of Sois-
sons would probably be short lived.
