Artillery Shell
Found on English
Channel Coast

LONDON, Aug. Is. CUP)-Military
quarters said today that examina-
ton of a projectile found in the
coastal area, apparently several days
ago, indicated that it was a shell
and not bomb from an airplane
The statement did not make clear
whether the shell was fired by
German big Berthas on the French
channel coast or whether it came
from German naval vessel. Early
this week it was reported that the
Germans had directed artillery fire
upon southeastern England from
the French coast.
Today's statement by military
quarters said that examination of
the projectile indicated that it
was a shell which arrived with a
forward velocity from the direction
of the sea-"

6,655-ton Norwegian steamer Their
mopylae sent out a series of mys-
terious messages about 300 miles
east of New York today but, ac-

chased to which-in Mackay's words

more than that the thing can be

The Republican party is on
record as the anti-war party of the
Nation today. The Republican
party is not a peace-at-any-prlce
party; it has an anti-war policy.
The platform declares 100 per
cent for adequate national defense.
We must have that; we are going
to have it.
The Republican party also stands
for an American foreign policy for
the United States. That is what |
have been contending for all this
time.
What the United States needs,
what the people of the United
States want, is not a British fore
ign policy, nor a German foreign
policy, nor a Russian foreign
policy.
