 summary trial, according to private
 advices to the members of the Brif-
 ish colony here, from Puebla.
 Meanwhile the afternoon newspa-
 per, Fl Sol, says: "The assassina-

 will proceed with all energy and

 tardIy crime, from which the enemies

 LONDON, Aug. 5.-Demanding immediate and adequate redress for the murder of Mrs. Rosalie Evans, an Englishwoman, in Mexico, the newspapLfs this morning express the general indignation which is felt throughout England.
 A stern, but reasoned al n Tt for punishment of the sla aPs sE Mrs. Evans is presented the Times. Demanding ample ,sfac- tion, the paper points out tn taou. sands of British men and WoMer are compelled to live ava Irar1 their homeland.
 They live n heIf.ciyilizs 4 munities, conducting the trat bF6r which our existence depend thg Times declares. "Our intefess as well as the demands of just fcr bid that we allow their proI 5y or their lives to be taken with i'm 1ity ' '@This outrage cannot be tamely passed over," asserts Lord Rothermere Daily Mail. "We must exact proper retribu- tiOn from all the participants in this unpardonable crime"
 In the house of commons all par ties are angry and the fact that Pre- mier Macdonald is not acting until he obtains a full statement of the case through the state department in Wash ington means merely that his is the responsible position and that he must get all the facts before him.
 There hardly is a family in Eug- land that has not had at some time or other, if not now, a member in one of the colonies or trading postse mentioned by the Times. The situation created by the murder of Mrs. Evans is one that can be appreciated by English men and women. It is unlikely, in the cir cumstances, that the labor government could do other than exact the complete redress which the newspapers are de- handing.

 ON BOARD THE D. S. CRUISER RICHMOND, Aug. 4-Leutenants Lowell Fl. Smith and Eric Nelson plan to fly across Iceland from Hornafjord to Reykjavik late Monday or on Tles- day morning, according to a wireless message from the destroyer Raleigh The weather is clear, the visibility good, the message said, and for these reasons the two airmen decided to make the 310-mile hop at once.
 Lieutenant Leigh Wade and his me chanie, Sergeant Arthur M- Ogden, probably will make the remainder of the homeward journey on board the Rich mond. The Boston, Wadeis plane, which was being tOwed by the Rich mond, snapped her tOwiine and cap sized off Sumboe Light, on the lonely island of SyderOe in the Farce group
 "I'm awaiting orders" Wade told the correspondent. sI don't know whether I'm definitely out of the race and won't until hear from Washing ton, but presume am-unless a new plane is built and shipped over here."
 ''Was A Good Ship"
 "She was a good ship" murmured Ogden, as the Boston waIloped upside down in the green waters Of the North Atlantic. His words were the obituary of the Boston, the second of the army ships to be forced out of the great ad- venture.
 Smith and Nelson should span the BIO miles between the eastern and west ern coast of Ireland in about five hours, but beyond Reygjavik looms a stretch of little known water and the barren shores of Greenland. surrounded with q 30-mile fringe of pack ice
 In the middle of the ice, fifteen miles from the almost uninhabitea Greea- land coast and fifteen miles from open watex, is the little supply sseanaGrs a<7erftrs lllHzs an@aaiEa and spare parts which she is endeav0r- ing to deliver at Ang1nassaHik, a fsSA- ing hamlet and the only sport on the forlorn Greenland coast that is set tied by man.
 Conditions UuEavOrable
 A wireless from the Rask has ex- plained her plight. For four days she has been heaRing and pounding against the massed jam of ice and in those four days has progressed but fifteen miles. Lieutenant Schultz. of the army air. service, is abroad the Rask and has wirelessed Admiral Magruder in com mand of the convoy squadron that con ditions about Greenland are unfagOrable for the purposes of Smith and Nelson
 Schultz has urged, that the convoy FIotiIla, the Richmond, Raleigh, Reid and Billingsley, be concentrated at Reykjavik to consider this new menace of ice floes and freezing weather which has arisen in the path of the two remaining flyers. The Convoy is HOW converting on Reykjavik.

Its a wonderful. unselfish
idea. and The Star Is to be con.

but Il occurs TO us that a
mistake Is being made In confin'
ing the raising OF the $4,000
necessary to buy this tract on
the Sound near Des Moines to
the cities Of Seattle and Tacoma.
aren't the smaller towns
along the Sound equally inter

Kent and Auburn and Renton
and all the rest consider state
park on the salt water as being
as much It's property as the prop
erty OF the two bigger cities?
III funds for n salt water
playground are going to be raised
and the property turned over to
the state, we would suggest that

especially from those small
towns that are closer to the park
