We enthuse over them and the patients are equally delight- l'ed. It saves the nurses an infinite amount of work to have surgical | dressings so skillfully and carefully | prepared ready to hand.” M. C. Chanseau, Infirmiere at the | Hopital Militaire Complementaire No. 45 at Lyons, writes: *I have the great pleasure to acknowledge tho re- ceipt, through the American Relief Clearing House in Paris, of four cases containing dressings which will be most useful for our dear wounded \soldiers, and most appreciated by them in the present circumstances. | Please accept my very best thanks for |#uch nice presents given so generous- Iy by your committee, and which re- minds uws continually that the great democratic nation of the United | @tates of America not only is going to \fi: ug in our fight for civilization nst barbarism and slavery, speak- ing from a military point of view, but hagvalready shown their great friend- ship towards our beloved country by starting: at the outbreak of this awful war an assistance which has always prowed so generous and valuable.” A. note from)Mr. Wycliffe Thomp- mon atnthe Hopital Militaire Belge at Mowen says; “The lieutenant in .eharge .of the Pharmacie was delight- edawith the dressings.

She writes: ‘“They must be stuffed full 'to be of real service.” ANARCHY GREATEST * AMERICAN DANGER Former Amfiéssador to Germany Notes Such Tendency comes this: with very many ‘acknowledge all Belfast Syracuse, N. Y., July 26.—“The great danger in the United States Iis the possibility of anarchy,” declared Pr. Andrew D. White, former ambas- sador to Germany yesterday. He ex- /pressed the|belief also that a new-form of government will not be established in Germany, that it will always be a military nation and cannot be starved out. “I deeply regret that war has come” he said, “but I hope we shall do our duty. The future danger here is an- archy, I think. A tendency toward anarchy is observable at present and many people are becoming impatient of the restraints of a republican gov- ernment ‘I rejoice at the spirit of our yvoung men. It avigurs well for our military orga, 1on. “My hope is th shall continue to afier the keep a well organ- ized army. such as thosc of Switzer- land and Franc ‘We have begun the organization of such an army. In view of the possibility of premediated at- tack from abroad and anarchy at home, we cannot afford to be without a trained citizen force. What an- archy at home means can be seen in the news from Russia. “aAmerica hus been disliked in some Burop countries he of the Monroc Doctrine example of free government has aroused re- sentinent wt to an at- tack for which we must be prepared.” 170 one can foresce what may come from this war. But I do not expect a new form of government in Germany for the Germans are attached to the Hohenzoilerns. 1 doubt that the Aus- trians care much for the Hapsburgs. But Germany has aiways believed in the Hohenzolierns. Of course, if the war lasts long enough the German war we an 1se our oo people may become disappointed in their present ruler and demand fur- ther reforms. But I do not look for a republic in Germany. The Germans consider their form of government better than ours. They believe that hostile nations are on all sides of them and that Germany has no bulwark ex- cept its army. It will always be a military nation. “Germany feels it has not had its share of the good things of the world. It wants what it did not get in the Moraccan matter and in South Africa and what it has been deprived of in China. “The true wisdom would have been in being honest about its aspirations and in working peacefully to gain a full share of commerce. “PThere is little chance of starvng Germany into submission although the people may become so uncomfortable they will want to stop the war. “I think the Kaiser was led to be- lieve at the beginning of the war that Great Britain would not inter- fere because of the Irish trouble. The Kaiser thoght a better time to attack Russia and France would never come again. “The Kaiser always showed a friend- ly feeling toward America until the war.” U-BOAT SUCCESS INCREASES IN WEEK British Lose 24 Vessels—Three Less Than 1,600 Tons London, July 26.— Twenty-one British vessels of more than 1,600 tons each and three less than 1,600 tons each were sunk last week by mines or submarines, according to the weekly admiralty report on ship- ping losses.

SHOOTS FAITHLESS WIFE AND LOVER New York Broker Finds Couple in Back Room of Cafe New York, July 26.—Anthony Max- imino, 26 years old, of 410 Ocean avenue, Brooklyn, walked into the sa- loon of Bernard Schmitt, in 282 Tomp- kins avenue, Brooklyn, late yesterday and ordered a glass of beer. As he leaned against the bar and drank it he heard the volces of a man and woman in the back room. He listened closely for a moment, and then said: “That sounds like my wife!” “Some guy and a dame in there,” replied the bartender. “I don’t know who they are.” “I'm going to see,’ said Maximino, and walked to the back room and threw open the door. ‘Whenr Maximino stepped into the back room he saw his wife, Mrs. Cath- erine Maximino, 25, at a table in a corner with Oliver Sullivan of 619 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, a member of the brokerage firm of Sullivan & Reinecke of Beaver street. Max- imino stood on the threshold for a revolver. Maximino forced the bar- tender to back into the saloon, and then, waving his gun, started on a run down Tompkins avenue, pursued by & crowd attracted by the shots. After he had run a block he was overtaken by Patrolmen James Stern and Martin Brachin, who had to use their clubs before they could subdue him. Max- imino was locked up in the Gates avenue station charged with murder. Other policemen who went to the saloon summoned Dr. Cohen of the St. John's Hospital, who said Sullivan had probably been killed by the bul- let that struck him in the forehead. Mrs. Maximino was taken to the hos- pital, where it was said she had no more than a fighting chance for life. Sullivan was 29 years old, married and had ome child. He wag the son of Joseph P. Sullivan, a Brooklyn lawyer. MUNITION WORKERS GO WITHOUT DRINK Thirty-Five Saloons Near Bliss Plant Ordered Closed New York, July 26.—The liquor li- censes of 35 saloons and three hoteis in the Bay Ridge section of Brook- lyn were yesterday suspended for the period of the war by the state de- partment of excise, acting for the war department at Washington. All of the places affected are with- in a certain radius of the E. W. Bliss Munition Works, now filling contracts for the government, and the Morse Drydock and Repair tompany’s plant, which is engaged in repairing. dam- aged German Hners confiscated at the beginning of the war. The action of the excise depart- ment came out of a clear sky, as far as the liquor dealers were concerned. Until they received their notices yes- terday, few of them had any idea that such a move was contemplated. The suspension of licenses went into effect at once. Last night police of the Fourth Avenue station patrolled the places affected to see that no alcohol was sold. The saloonkeepers may continue to sell soft drinks if they choose, but ‘“hard stuff” is barred until peace is declared. For some time past, it is said, workmen of the munition and ship repairing works have been drinking heavily at the saloons of the district. Work of great necessity to the gov- ernment is under way at the plants, and the demoralization caused by the sale of liquor became so great that it was decided that a stop should be put to it at once. Each saloonkeeper in the affected district received this personal letter vesterday from Herbert S. Sisson, state commissioner of exise. “You will find inclosed herein a copy of the order issued by the state commissioner of exise and approved by the governor, pursuant to the pro- visions of Chapter 821 of the Laws of 1917. This order suspends the rights of holders of liquor tax certifi- cates in a part of the Borough of Brooklyn, County of Kings, City of New York, boundaries of which are described in the order. “The certificAite held by you for traffic in liquors at the above ad- dress is one of those affected. Under the provisions of the order, during the continuation of the war with Ger- many, you are forbidden to sell al- coholic liquors under any certificate now held on which may be hereafter attained within the territory de- scribed in the order.” Most of the saloonkeepers affected are members of the Bay Ridge Liquor Dealers’ association. This body will hold a meeting shortly to protest against the order. PACIFISTS PROPOSE 10 FIGHT DRAFT Have Fund of $50,000 to Spend for Early Peace New York, July 26.—A 350,000 propaganda to fight conscription, to stir up sentiment for ‘“an early peace® and to shape “the terms upon which this nation will settle with Germany” was launched yesterday by New York pacifists. Advertisements were placed in newspapers throughout the coun- try with a view, it was announced, of carrying the peace sentiment into 2,- 000,000 American homes. The People’s Council, 2 West Thir- teenth street, has been designated by all the active peace organizations to carry on the campaign. The council claims that with its branches in more than fifty citles it already represents 1,200,000 members and that thous- ands of ‘“peace lovers” are joining datly. ! The literature which is being sent broadcast through the mail in the form of advertisements is in direct opposition to the plans under way at ‘Washington to carry on the war. moment staring at them. Neither saw him. Suddenly Maximino drew a revolver and began filng. The first shot hit the wall above Sullivan’s head, and the broker and the woman leaped to their feet. Before Sullivan could es- cape Maximino fired again, the bullet smashing into Sullivan’s forehead. The broker plunged forward over the table, and as he did so Maximino sent another bullet through his heart. Meanwhile Mrs. Maximino ran to an- other door, and was trying to open it when her husband turned on her. He fired one shot, which struck her in the neck, and then ran from the saloon. Schmitt and his bartender rushed into the room. Schmitt tetephoned to Police Headquarters while the bar. tender started after Maximino. who kept the man back by brandishing his Demand Immediate Peace. After declaring that we demand immediate general peace,” the coun- cil says: *“We ask you to join in this great movement.” It then cites that “any American citizen may join” or “any organization —labor, farmer, women, single-taxers, socialists, church groups, peace bodies —having fifty or more members may join on the basis of one representa- tive for each 1,000 members or frac- tion.” The platform, to circulate which the entire $50,000 is to be expended, is: “Concrete statement of war aims, “Early general peace based on ne annexations, no indemnities and free development for all nationalities. America’s “International world peace. “The repeal of conscription laws. “Democratic foreign policy and ref- erendum vote on questions of war and peace. “Freedom of speech, of the press, right of peaceful assembly and the right to petition the government. “The safeguarding of labor stan- dards. “Taxation of wealth to pay for the war. Reduction of the high cost of liv- Ing..”" Louis P. Lochner, executive secre- tary of the council, said the money was being raised through contribu- organization for tions. ‘“The way funds have come in shows the people are eager to spend money for peace, whatever their taxes for war may be,” he said. Dr. David Starr Jordan is treasurer, Conscientious objectors expect to make a test case of their position as Soon as'the first man of their ranks is called before his local exemption board for physical examination. Rog- er N. Baldwin, director of the Civil Lirberties Bureau, 70 Fifth avenue, yesterday said: "_As soon as an objector who has decided to resist being physically ex- amined s called he will appear be- fore the board with legal advisers. On being arrested he will give bail. His case will be carried to the supreme court as quickly as possible. On be- half of the objectors lawyers already have formulated their argument that the conscmiption law is unconstitu- tional.” KENILWORTH CLUB’'S BIT. Organization Sends Many Members to the Colors.
