KUEHLM.iNN ATTACKED.
German Editor Says Charges We're
Printed to Gust Him-Wiil
Not Resign. =

Amsterdam, July6-Chancellor Hert:
ling's suit against the editors of the
Deutsche Zeitung and the Alldeutsche
Blatter, for charging Foreign Minister
Kuehlmann with immortality. began
yesterday, according to a Berlin dis
patch received today. The public was
excluded.
The editors claimed the charges
we're true. Many witnesses, including
the chauffeurs who served Kuehlmann
in Bucharest, testified.
Dr. Lovan, of the Deutsche Zeirung,
said the articles were published to
Gust Kuchlmann, and if it were guar
lnteed that kuehlmann would retire
shortly, ne would apologize. The pres
ident of the court formally announced
that kuchlmam would not resign.
Kuch!mann and Count Czernin,
then Austro-H Hungarian Foreign Mini
ster. were charged with various acts
of immortality during the RoGmanian
peace negotiations at Bucharest. They
were charged with publicly associating
with notorious women of the under
world and Kuehlmann is said to hava
"insulted a lady Of high birth"

GRAND THEATER MONDAY.
"THE MAD LOVER"

Elaine Hammerstein, the chic and
charming photodrama star, who plays
opposite Robert Warwick in "The Mad
Lover, is the granddaughter of the
famous operatic impresario, Oscar
Hammestein. Her father, Arthur
Hammerstein, was engaged in the
theatrical profession as a producer.
Miss Hammerstein is only q years
and tips the scales at l25 pounds. She
possesses a plentitude of wavy brown
hair, a pair of big gray eyes and n
winning smile. Her work in The
Mad Lover is by far her greatest
effort either on stage or screen. Of
fered host of opportunities to dis
play her remarkable talent she takes
advantage of them all and according
to her director, Leonce Perret of mo-
ton picture fame, her role as Kit
tenish bride is one of the sensations
of this years cinema's productions.
Also, the 5th episode of "The Re-
treat of the Germans at the Battle OF
Arras.". There will be no raise in
the price of admission.

BOAT SINKS
Vessel Capsizes as Passengers Rush
to One Side Following Collision
Over Five Hundred Aboard.

Peoria, H., July 6.-Nearly one
hundred persons were unaccounted for
early today following the sinking OF
the excursion steamer Columbia in the
Illinois river between Peoria and Pc
kin, Ill.,, shortly after midnight.
Twenty bodies had been recovered
at daylight and telephone messages
from the scene Of the wreck indicated
that other bodies had been located
between the decks of the vessel.
Fiv hundred and fifty persons were
believed to have been aboard the ves-
sci. Scores OF survivors. some OF
them injured, are being cared for \.
Pekin.
The vessel was returning to Pekln
from Alfresco, 4 summer resort. A
dense fog lay over the river.
With the excursionists dancing on
the upper deck TO the strains Of a
band, the Columbia ran on a sand
bank. She was promptly backed off,
but Immediately began to list. Later
reports indicated she had struck &
submerged log and hole had been
torn amidships.
Panic stricken, the excursfonists
rushed to the port side of the boat
in spite of :he efforts of the crew
to keep the deck load evenly balanced.
Less than five minutes after she had
struck the bar, the Columbia over
turned in mii-channel and sank.
Dozens of men and women leaped
into the water and others were thrown
into the river when the boat turned
over Many were between decks, and
it was believed certain that they went
down with the boat.
Shrieks OF dozens OF survivors who
were padding about the wreck we're
heard in the village of Wesley, oppo-
site where the accident occurred. Sew
eral small boats put off from the
shore TO pick them up. Calls for help
were sent by telephone to Peoria and
Pekin and launches started for the
wreck from those points. A special
train carrying nurses and physicians
was dispatched from Peoria. Survi-
vors declared that four. babies. left

DELAYING NEW OFFENSIVE
Believed Wilhelm Restraints Hinden-
burg's Reckless Slaughter of Men

Won Hindenburg's delay in starting
a new offensive along the west front
is strongly Indicative Of a new lack
of confidence at the kaiser's headqulr-
ters in the ability of the German arnv
to win decisive results on the battle
field. There are powerful influences
at work trying to persuade the kaiser
not to permit Won Hindenburg to con-
tinue his policy of ruthlessly slaugh-
tering Germany's man-power for chi
mercial results. A definite policy by
