WILFULGROUP’ DOES BUSINESS AS USUAL Sontinues to Obstruct War Legis- lation in Congress Washington, July 23.—The “little group of wilful men” in the United States senate is living up to its repu- tation and running true to form since the organization was founded during the notorious armed ship filibuster early last March. Its membership has undergone some slight changes, but most of its members are always ready with their votes to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery and give encouragement to the Kaiser The latest activity of the group was an unsuccessful attempt to ambush the $640,000,000 aviation bill, which the war experts declared indispen- sable to the winning of the war. The members disguised their opposition behind an aversion to the draft, aim- ing their fire at the provision author- izing ‘the president to make use of the draft, if necessary, to recruit the flying corps to full strength. The president already has this power; the army has assured congress it will not use she draft to obtain flyers, be- cause there is already a - sufficient number of volunteers, but those facts made no difference to the wilful few. They could not resist the temptation to interfere with the successful con- duct of the war. Some of the members sometimes fall out of stép with the rest, but there are three who can always be counted upon to maintain the group's reputation. They are Senators La Follette, Gronna and Vardaman. ‘With several exceptions. they can be found on the ‘“‘nay” side of the roll call wherever there has been a record vote on important war legislation. “Fighting Bob’s” Record. Here is a brief resume of Senator La Follette's activities since charter membership in the wilful group has been his: He voted against the adoption of the cloture rule to cut off unneces- sary debate and facilitate the passage of war measures. He voted against the declaration of war with Germany, He voted against the conference re- port on the draft bill, while the coun- try clamored for prompt action on thg measure. e tried to force a nationwide ref- erendum on the draft. He voted against the Espionage bill, which the president wanted to help rid the country of sples. He forced the senate to vote down an amendment which he proposed to take the teeth out of the embargo. He fought the Aviation bill be- cause of the draft provision. In each and every one of these actions his friend and lieutenant, Sen- ator Gronna, has piped “Me too.” Senator Vardaman'’s record is very similar. He voted against the dec- laration of war, the Espionage bill and for the LaFollette amendment emasculating the embargo. He has announced his opposition to the Avia- tion bill because of the draft provi- sion. Last week he made a speech praising the anti-conscription demon- strations in Canada as ‘‘manifesta- tions of independence and patriot- ism.” “Gum Shoe” Bill. never been definitely de- termined whether Senator Stone, of Missouri, the chairman of the For- eign Relations committee, was a bona fide charter member of the “little group of wilful men.” It was stated at the time of the organiza- tion of the group that the president did not intend to include him, but the fact is that he has never been in the confldence of the administration since then. He voted agalnst the declaration of war with the statement that he would immediately after the formal pro- clamation of war cease to be a peace dove and become a screaming war eagle. In some respects he has made good this statement. However, he voted against the conference report on the draft bill, and in a speech a few days ago sharply criticised the administration for getting the country into war. He insisted the shedding of American blood and the spending of American dollars might yet -be averted if the administration would follow the course he has suggested. There are several members who have made an effort to live down the unenviable edvertising the president gave tham when they blocked the | armed ship bill. Among them is | Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, whose name is not to be found on the anti side of any important record vote since the war began. His colleague, Sen- | ator Cummins, too, has made an ef- fort to ‘“get out from under,” his only decorded opposition being on his vote for the LaFollette amendment to the embargo, 1t has FIRST OUT, BEST DRESSED. -~ Coney Island Bathers Robber of Street Garments. New York, July 25.—Twenty-five young women and about ten men stormed the Coney Island Police Sta- tion last evening, all in bathing suits, some carrying sections of their street attire, others with none, all complain- ing that their effects had been stolen from the store and dwelling house of Samuel Engelstein, at No. 2977 West | Fifth Street, Coney Island. The police telephoned to the homes of some of the victims or had police in their home districts notify relatives to send clothing to the young women | so they might not have to travel back | to the city in bathing suits.

DANIELS DEFENDS MUNCHAUSEN GREEL Takes Time by Forelocks to Off- set Semate Inquiry Washington, July 23.—Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, in a letter sent to Senator Tillman, chair- man of the committee on naval affairs, comes to the defense of George Creel, chairman of the committtee on public | information, concerning the charge that Mr. Creel grossly exaggerated the | official accaunt of two encounters be- tween German U-boats and American naval vessels convoying transports carrying the first contingent of United | States troops to France, Mr. Daniels does nat mention Mr. Creel’s name, but it is apparent that his letter to Senator Tillman is in- tended+to show that any enthusiastic | expressions on Mr. Creel’s part in de- scribing the encounters between the | submarines and the American war- ships were justified by the happy out- come of the incidents. The letter is | so worded as to carry the impression that Mr. Daniels assumes full re- sponstbility for the statement fur- nished to the press by Mr. Creel. The letter is intended to be a sart of informal advance answer to a resolu- tion pending in the senate calling for the facts in regard to the engagements between the U-boats and the Ame can ships. The resolution directs the | secretary of the navy ta send to the senate the dispatches from Rear Ad miral Gleaves, commanding the con- | voy, upon which the account af the engagements furnished to the press by Mr. Creel’s committee on public infor- mation were based. This account was | in the form of a statement issued in the name of Secretary Daniels, Ad- miral Benson, chief of naval opera- tions, and Mr. Creel. Mr. Daniels says in his letter that the cable messages from Rear Ad- miral Gleaves could not be given to the public because, fo conceal the navy’s cipher code, in which the mes- sages were transmitted, it was neces sary to employ different language in describing the encounters and the messages also contained the names of the ships engaged, which, for mili- tary reasons, could not be disclosed. But Mr. Daniels says that the cabled reports of Rear Admiral Gleaves are open to the inspection of the senate committee on naval affairs. In the statement given out by Mr. Creel’s committee, in the name of Mr. Daniels, it was said that there had been a “ battle” between the U-boats and the American warships and that the German submarines had attacked “in force.” Mr. Daniels does not attempt to say whether these terms were justified by the messages from Rear Admiral Gleaves, but he does hold out that the rejoicing of himself and other officials over the safe arrival of the American troop ships in France and their escape from the U-boats was justified in the cir- cumstances. How Mr. Daniels felt about it is told in his account of what happened when he went over to the war department to give the news that the troops had been landed safely “somewhere in France.” “It was in no formal manner, assure you,” ‘says the secretary the navy to the chairman of the Naval Affairs committee, *that the good news was given to Sccretar Baker, and we shook hands in exul® tation over the safety of our sailors and soldiers and the accomplishment of the first stage of giving military aid to the allies.” il of | ping, | into government control of industry. | proceeded on different and rather less | war, | mercial The fewer the | clusively Henry Clews’ Weekly Letter New York, July 23.—The third an- niversary of the great war is close at hand. It will show changes inflinitely beyond anything anticipated. In the political, the economic and social worlds new conditions and new forces have been created that could never have been foreseen. With the mili- tary aspects of the war we are already painfully familiar. War itself, has been revolutionized and is still being waged on a scale never expected and with a bitterness undreamed. In the political world the most remarkable changes have arisen through innum- erable expansions of government ac- tivities. Practically all the bellig- erent governments have plunged headlong into both production and distribution of many necessities, to prevent exploitation of the public by the few, as well as to secure more efficient conduct of the war. It was very early recognized by the rulers of all nations that high prices and pro- fiteering would incite political unrest 2t home, and make it more difficult for the various governments to carry on the war. Germany was already committed to government control in advance. Great Britain despite her national devotion to individualism quickly jumped into control of ship- railroads and the production and distribution of many staples, such as copper, wool, rubber, food, etc., etc. This control was necessury, not only to shut off supplies from Ger- many, but to insure them for her home use, Other nations followed sui,t, including -the TUnited States, which, since entering the war, has not delved quite as deep as other nations The movement here, however, has Fazardous lines, because we have benefited by the experience of others and our dangers have been less acute. Between government and people in this country there has been far more co-operation and much less com- mandeering than was the case abroad. Our railroads are valuntarily working as a upit for the government, receiv- ing pay for their services; wkile the British government seized control of her railways, obligating them to ren- der military service free. Great Bri- tain also commandeered a large per- centage of her shipping; while we or- ganized a shipping board to increase the output of ships. Great Britain assumed control of the distribution of many staple articles, and has been unsuccessfully experimenting with price fixing; while we, on the other hand, are about to regulate our food supply and the export trade, leaving the matter of price fixing it is to be hoped to further discussion and ex- perience. American business today faces in- numerable uncertainties owing to the revolutionary methods evolved by the American politics are equally in a state of flux. Many old issues havé completely disappeared, and not a few new ones will do likewise when peace comes; so that no one can tell what the final outcome will be, except that | big steps are inevitable toward the | democratization of industry. Europe, too, must subsequently pass through a period of economic reconstruction in which many old methads and institu- tions will be swept away, resulting, we trust, in wider industrial and com- liberty for the entire world. restrictions between nations, the greater the chances of permanent peace. What the world's political developments will be cannot be estimated, except that a better democracy is in prospect, which should imporve social conditions and establish a new and sounder civil arder than the one so suddenly dis- ruptetd at the close of July, 1914. The local money outlook has somae- what improved. Call Joans touched ten per cent early in the week. but subsequently declined to more normal rates. The stringency was largely due to the heavy decline in surplus re- serve, which resulted in very heayy withdrawals of Government deposits to pay off about two hundred million treasury notes, and particularly to the changed methods of figuring the na- tional bank reserves, the required per- centages of which have been reduced, and which hereafter will be held ex- in the reserve banks. The easier conditions in money were af- fected by renewed capital applications; several large corporations offering issues this week which aggregated over $30,000,000. It is evident that concerns requiring capital will have to | make their bids before preparations | for the new government loan begin. The financial situation is further em- phasized by the fact that these. ap- plications appear to be possible only in the form of short term obligations on | or ahout a six per cent. b The latter rate speaks volumes, and has brought up for discussion as to the best time for the new bond issue. It is quite the general opinion that the | issue of the loan had, better be post- | poned until October ,in order to en- able farmers who will then have mar- keted their crops to surscribe more freely. Business conditions continue much unsettled by the situation at Washing- ton. Delay of legislation affecting food control, friction in the shipping board and in the export control hoard, uneasiness over the submarine situa- | tion, uncertainty as to new taxes and | the attempts of the Government to regulate prices, also the news from Germany ,all serve to leave both com- merce and industry in a high state of perplexity. Under such conditions no one cares to enter into transactions extending far into the future. Busi- ness is necessarily of a hand-to-mouth character. Both the steel and copper industries are seriously hampered by fears of Government price fixing. In any event, the early anticipations of excessive war profits have moderated for many industrials, with a _corre- sponding effect upon stock market ac- tivities. Some very substantial de- clines have already occurred in conse- quence, yet in spite of curtailment in these directions the majority of in- dustrial concerns are still doing a large and profitable business. Peace prospects are not so encouraging, for Big Reductions on Men’s Summer Suits $18.00 and $20.00 Suits, Now $14.75 $22.50 and $25.00 Suits, Now $19.50 that reason that Germany is still m no mood to accept the terms which the Allies will be likely to offer. This, of course, suggests prolodged activities in war industries. The harvest prom- ises larger and better results than at one time expected. There is no real scarcity of grain, although under the circumstances a larger yield would have been desirable. But farmers are sure of good prices for their products and seem likely to secure their full share of prosperity, which later on will be reflected in good business throughout the agricultural sections. There is no reason for taking osher than hopeful views regarding the fu- ture, but the presence of many and unusual uncertainties necessitates the policy of daily caution. HENRY CLEWS. MRS.

AIR RAIDERS DRIVEN BACK | Unsuccessful Attempt Made | | by Ger- man Aviators to Reach London— Kill 11 and Injure 26. London, July 23.—Another daylight raid, carried out over the east coast of England Sunday morning, resulted in the repulse of about 20 German air- | planes, after they had dropped a num- ber of bombs over Felixstowe and | Hardwich, killing 11 persons and in- juring 26. An alarm was sounded in London, but before the Germans could reach any point near the city they were at- tacked heavily by defending squa- | drens of aircraft, which speedily | caused them to change their and beat a hasty retreat. So far as has been reported none | of the Germans was brought down. EXPLANATION OF DRAFT. All Numbers Have Been Drawn Al- though Not All Have Been Published. Because only a partial list of all numbers drawn in the selectve draft have been published there is an erron eous impression about the city that those whose numbers were not drawn are not included in the list. As a matter of fact every one of the 10,- 000,000 men who registered on June 5 were drawn. The United States was, broadly speaking, divided into some 4,000 districts, similar to the two lo- | cal districts. 1In some districts the | numbers ran only into the hundreds, while in others they ran above 10,000. But whatever a man’s number was it was drawn. The reason that all | numbers have enot been printed is that all numbers were not received at | the newspaper offices. The drawing, which began at 9:30 a. m. Friday | morning, continued until 2:30 a. m. Saturday morning. Naturally the Fri- day! afternoon and evening papers could print only such numbers as had been drawn at press time. The Satur- day morning papers, which went to press before the drawing had actually stopped, could print only the numbers which had been drawn at their press time. Consequently the balance of the numbers drawn did not appear in pa- pers published around here. But | whether a persons’ number appeared | or not, he may rest assured that it was drawn. However, if it did not ap- pear in any of the published lists a | man can feel fairly sure that his num- ber was one of the last few thousands drawn, thereby plaging his name away at the bottom of the draft list. | WILL ASSEMBLE AT NIANTIC, Units Not in Federal Service to Mo- bilize This Weck.
