Stands by Boston Speech

A fiat assertion that no American
vessels on Atlantic patrols had en-
gagged in conveying or had become
involved in combat was made today
by Secretary of the Navy Knox.
He told his press conference also
that there had been no loss of life
among American crews or loss of

lutely untrue" He added he could
not imagine where the shooting
stories came from. and said that
somebody had evidently talked m-
wisely.

the subject matter of the speech he
made Monday in Boston in which he
said it is time to use the Navy to
clear the Atlantic of the German
menace.
Mr.. Knox refused to say whether
his Boston speech had been author
lied by President Roosevelt. nor
would be say whether it had been
discussed by the cabinet or repre-
sented their views.
Pressed for further comment on
the speech which has stirred a con-
troversy on Capitol Hill, Mr.. Knox
said that all he had to say on the
subject had been expressed in the
speech
Asked About Wheeler Demand.
He was reminded that Senator
Wheeler had demanded his resigna-

was asked if he planned to resign.
You write the answer yourself =
he said laughing.
He announced that of the so

BOARD the ship that was torpedoed,

appointment of two Calvert County
trial magistrates, denying the de-
murrer filed by attorneys for State
Senator j. Wilmer johnson, Demo-

ment of William w. Duke and DR..
Clyde L. West, whose names pre-
viously had been rejected by the
State Senate.
When arguments on the manda-
mus action were held before Judge
Loker on July IT, attorneys for the
State contended that the Governor
is not required to submit nominees
for recess appointments as trial
magistrates to the Senate for con-
firmation.
Attorney General William C..
Walsh, who appeared as a friend
of the court. said the Governor evi-
IDENTIFY thought that such appoint
ments had to be submitted for
confirmation, when he sent the
names of Mr.. Duke and Dr.. West
