NN'S SPEECH GLY: of New York stood before the dem- ocratic convention assembled St. Louis yesterday and sounded the key- note of the his at campaign he took for chord the Republicanism. He stood on impreg- nable territory when he cited prece- dents established by former Republi- can Presidents and held these up as vindication of the Wilson administra- in its dealings with foreign main thunder tion powers, if Washington and Lincoln were right in the maintenance of our neutrality insisted upon foreign observance of American rights. Citing precedents to justify President Wilson's course in the Lusitania and other incidents growing out of submarine warfare waged in violation of international law, Mr. Glynn asked these three salient questions: (1). “In the face of this record, do Republicans realize that when they arraign the policy of the president of the United States today raign the policy of Harrison, of Blaine, of Lincoln and of Grant? (2). “For the pleasure of critising a Democratic President are they will- ing to read out the Republican Party the greatest men the Republi- can Party ever had? (3). ‘Are they willing to say that the Republican Party of today con- demns what Hamilton did in Revolu- tionary days, what Lincoln did in Civil War days and what Grant and | of day?” There are few men aligned with the Republican par to read out of the record the great achievements of presidents like Lin- coln and Grant and other leaders of their time. If these past presidents were defenders of the nation they were not more enthusiastic in their upholding of the rights of America than is the man who sits today in the White House. Whether his poli- ey will meet with the approval of the men who would wage war for political expediency is to be doubted. But the policy of Wilson will be cher- ished by the mothers of the country, by the daughters, by the who have been spared the disaster of cruel warfare and who now instead | of reading bulletins from the front | sons, are enjoying the greatest security ever known to the nation. These are the things that are to be weighed in the balance, and when one thing is thrown against the other, they shall not be found wanting. The citizens of this nation, those who are its well really enthusiastic about future welfare will stand in back of Presi- dent Wilson. They will stand behind him because they know that every act | and word of his has been for the bet- advancement and protection of the nation. Peace and prosperity are the gifts he has placed before those under his care. And this shall con- tinue while the hundred million peo- ple in these forty-eight states band themselves together under under one ideal, and show to the peo- ter is no Glynn ples of foreign nations there undivided America Martin democratic as it is Ameri utterances should be read by every citizen the land, one who intends to cast a vote at the His ach and by n in next national elections.

C. June 15.—The Orkney Islands, the naval . base of Great Britain’s grand fleet operating in the North sea, and off whose shores Earl Kitchener and his staff are reported to have met death, are described in the following war geogra- phy bulletin of the National Geograph- ic society, issued from its Washington headquarters: “No other territory in the British empire has a more tragic significance to Englishmen today than the Orkney islands, off whose shores the most distinguished victim of the world war, Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the cruiser Hampshire was sunk by a torpedo or a mine. “These islands, ninety in number, of which only thirty are inhabited are separated from the mainland of Scot- land by the Pentland Firth, from six and a half to eight miles wide.

Kirkwall, the capital, has a popula- tion of 4,000. “While the original inhabitants of the islands were Picts, whose round towers and chambered mounds are among the interesting ruins of this region, the Norse pirates secured a foothold here during the early centur- ies of the Christian era, and carried on their depredations against all nav- igators of the North sea.
