LONDON, November 4.-Secret evil
dence in the inquiry into the sinking
OF the Lusitania. made public today in
parliamentary paper, reveals that
Capt. Turner had been warned nv
the admiralty to avoid the headlands
on approaching the coast Turner
testified in the inquiry that he was
justified in coming within ten miles
OF Old Head Of Kinsale (near where
the Lusitania was torpedoed) in or
der to fix his position. II he had re-
manned longer out Of sight of land.
he declared. the weather might have
become foggy and he would have
been worse off,
Capt Turner claimed that the
course he steered was far enough
from land. If it was not exactly in

structions. but his aim was TO ffnd
land. Had he run into a fog with
out doing this he asserted, he might
have run ashore.
The evidence shows that the admi-
rally instructed Capt. Turner to keen
in midchannel and avoid the head
lands, because submarines appeared
to be operating. chiefly off the prom
inent headlands. Capt. Turner said
he thought ten miles was giving the
headlands sufficiently wide berth.
He admitted that he kept a long
distance of Fastnet in order to avoid
submarines.
Later Capt. Turner, pressed under
cross-examination, said he was steer
ing course that would have taken
him close to the Conningbeg light
ship and was not in midchannel be-

marines in midchannel

captain testified, however, that had he
gone faster the Lusitania would have

ENGLAND AND 'UNIVERaAIs NIL
81 ITARY Trainings.


Our Dumb Animals: Have our
friends who are advocating universal
military training in this country care
fully noted the features Of the .cele-
brated new Education Act recently
passed by the British Parliament That
such measure should have become
law while England was waging the
hardest war in her history seems almost
incredible. Her whole educational sys-
tenn is remodeled by this legislation.
Here is the significant fact-this new
Act provides in no respect for universal
and compulsory military training. Let
no one think that advocates of univer-
sal military training were idle or silent
during the discussion of the Act. Lead
ing newspapers urged it, powerful mill
tarists demanded it. The same old ar
guments were crowded to the front and
held up for consideration in the light
of the war. The minister Of education,
Mr.. II. A. L. Fisher, to whom above
others this splendid achievement is due,
is reported to have said in public
statement, "that the Government had
canvassed the question of universal
and compulsory military training and
had decided that the proposal had
neither educational nor military val
ue.''

The people Of Washington county
will have an opportunity to pass on the
Wilcox Sullivan senatorial controversy,
and perhaps this is as much as might be
expected under the circumstances. The
spirit of the corrupt practice act is cor
rect, although in letter it has been lit
tie observed, and many who now advo-
cate it's enforcement because it suits
their present purpose, have had very
little sympathy with it in either letter
or spirit. It has been difficult, in this
contest, and unavoidable, to keep out
personal matters and prejudices, and
very likely the people Of Washington
county will get plenty Of both in the
campaign. However, it is up to them
to settle the question.

may he unfair to say that some OF them
would be out of business, although some
