Tondon, Aug. 15.—At a joint meet- ng last nigh of the executive com- mittee of the national labor party and the parliamentary committee of the trades union congress, the attitude of Arthur Henderson, secretary of the labor party, who resigned on Satur- day as a member of the British war cabinet, with regard to the socialist conference in Stockholm, was in- dorsed. The meeting appointed dele- gates, including Mr. Henderson, to the Stockholm conference and resolved to ask the government to withdraw its order prohibiting the issuance of passports to Stockholm delegates. The resolutions adopted expressed un- abated confidence in Mr. Henderson. In the course of the meeting a tele- gram was received from _Camille Huysmans and Hjaumar Branting, promoters of the Stockholm confer- ence, accepting a consultative status for the conference. They sald they would work to get this basis accepted, but they still considered it important that the Entente powers should be represened. A joint meeting of the executive committees of the labor party and the parliamentary labor party was held in the house of commons. George Nicoll Barnes, who succeeded Mr. Henderson in the war cabinet, and all the labor members of the cabinet attended. Mr. Henderson, James Ramsay, MacDonald, and Philip Snowden and most of the labor mem- bers of parliament were also present. No communication was issued to the press, but it is understood that no change in the situation resulted and the position of the labor members of the government was not discussed, though it is known that a pacifist section ,headed by Mr. MacDonald, is trying to bring pressure to force the Jabor ministers to resign. Apparent- ly, however, nothing will be decided pending the adjourned meeting of the National Labor Conference next Tues- ay. 4 Havelock Wilson, president of the National Seamen’s union, in a state- ment prepared for The Associated Press gave the ‘reasons why British ceamen cannot fraternize with Ger- mans at Stockholm or anywhere else.” The document is an account of recent sinkings of British vessels in which German submarines fired upon open boats or otherwise savage- ]y mistreated the hapless crews. CLUE IN MURDER CASE, Negro Makes Partial Confession in Killing of Baltimore Woman. Baltimore, Aug. 15.—After five hours of grilling by the policy, John Snowden, colored, has made admis- sions that convince the officials that he is the murderer of Mrs. Lottie May Haslup Brandon, at her home in Annapolis, last Wednesday. Chief of Police Carter said: “Snowden has made a partial con- fession. We hope to have the full story from him shortly. We feel that there is no longer a doubt that he is the murderer of Mrs. Brandon.” Meanwhile the Annapolis detectives were busy on another clue, which re- sulted in the arrest of Edna Wallace, colored, a former wash woman of the Brandons, as a material witness against Snowden. She declares Snow- den was in her company all of last Wednesday—the day of the murder— thus contradicting Snowden himself. The body of the murdered woman will be exhumed for a further exam- ination by medical experts. REVIEWS HARVARD CORPS.

AGENTS FOR BGLENWOOD RANGES Tables| U. S. CITIZENS IN THE GERMAN ARMY ! JAPANESE PLEDGE AID TO AMERICA Viscount Ishii Assures Diners o _Unswerving Friendship Americans of German Origin Forced[ to Take Up Arms, Copen- hagen Hears. 15.—An Amer- ! Who was per- | Copenhagen, Aug. ican of German birth, mitted to leave Germany recently says that the military authorities thére are commencing to take Amer- ican citizens, long resident in Ger- many, for military service, on the grounds that they have forfeited their American citizenship and are now de- nationalized. Even native-born Amer- icans, he says, have in some instances been put into the army, but the mil- itary duty usually applies to natural- ized citizens of German origin. The procedure of the military au- thorities against the so-called state- less individuals repeatedly has been the subject of interpellations in the Reichstag, usually in the case of Bel- gian residents in Germany, but the authorities refuse to change their at- titude. The Amcncan a number of whom have protested to the Spanish em- bassy, it is believed here, have little hope of escaping service. A Pacific Port, Aug. 15.—A new day among nations in which Japan and America shall “forget the little mole hills that have been exaggerated into mountains to bar out goad relations,” and ‘“march together, work together and fight together as comrades” was ‘pledged here last night by Viscount K. Ishii, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the United States. Heading a special mission, Viscoun* Ishii spoke for his government at a dinner tendered to him by this munici- pality. The viscount was presented by Gavin McNab, an attorney sent from Washington to arrange the reception of the mission, by the governor of the state and the mayor of the city. The ambassador said: “We come to you at the dawning of a new day. As individuals we have no right to expect to find place at this busy time of preparation. But we come as the humble representatives of the gracious sovereign of a friendly and a loyal nation, and we say that we know well that performance not profession, deeds not words, sacrifices not selfishness, are the requisites of the haur. “Our message is that in this day, through its hours of shadow or of sunshine, your purpose is our purpose, your road our road and yvour goal our goal. It is that America and Japan will march together, wark together and fight together as comrades until the end has been reached and the vie- tory won in the struggle which in- volves our rights and our liberties. “It is for that—and 1 take the lib- erty of using the words of your great president, Abraham Lincoln—in order that, each of us may enjoy an open fleld and a fair chance for our’indus- try, enterprise and intelligence that the struggle must be maintained: That we may not lose our birth right —the right of humanity. ‘““We are here to say that in this tremendous struggle for those rights and liberties America and Japan are bound together, that when the victory of the allied forces is secure America and Japan should so live that your sons and our sans will have a certainty of good neighborhood, so live that no word or deed of either can be looked upon with suspicion, that venomous gossip, hired slander, sinister in- trigue and influence, of which we have both been the victims, can in future serve to bring us closer together for mutual protection and for the com- mon welfare. Both Must Guard Pacific. ‘“The importance of this co-opera- tion was brought home to us par- ticularly as we voyaged safely and pleasantly acrass the Pacific ocean. We must indeed have assurance of good order in our neighborhood. We cannot either.of us take risks.

Washington, Aug. 15.—President Wilson has sent to the senate the names of 184 officers whom he has appointed as general officers in the national army. Thirty-seven of them are to be major generals and the re- maining 147 will be brigadier gen- erals. The appointments are not perman- ent, although before the war is over some of them, through promotion to fill vacancies in the general officers’ list, will be made permanent. The appointments are for a period of the war. While all are commissioned as major generals or brigadier generals in the national army, so as to give them uniform commissions for the purposes of the war under the terms of selective service law, they will be subject to detail with any of the divi- sions or brigades into which the armies are formed for the war. They may be assigned either to the regular army, to the National Guard army or to the national army. ‘“WHEAT ADMINISTRATOR." New York, Aug. 15.—The wheat business of the entire country is to be regulated and controlled from a central office here according to an announcement here today which stated that Julius H. Barnes, a Minn- eapolis grain expert designated by Herbert C. Hoover as his chief as- sistant would be in charge as “wheat administrator.” Branch offices are to be opened in every wheat center of the country, it was said. Actual work probably will begin at the office here on Thursday, when a survey will be started to ‘“get an absolute line on wheat conditions in this coun- tween Asia and the United States: to see to it that the ships of the fero- cious pirates, whose crimes upon the high seas can never be palliated, find no shelter in the waters of our seas. “It is for us, together, to continue to enforce respect for law and hu- manity upon the Pacific, from which the German menace was removed at the commencement of the war. Had this not been so, had the barbarian of Europe not heen rooted from his Oriental bas the shuddering horrors of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean would today be a grim reality on the Pacific. In the protection of our sea- going merchandise and men, in safe- guarding the pleasures of intercourse, you may count on us as we must count on you. “In the dawning of this new day of stress and strain let us forget the little mole hills that have been exag- gerated into mountains to bar our good relations. Let us see together with a clearer vision the pitfalls dug by a cunning enemy in our path. Let us together fix our eves upon the star aof principle, which shall lead us to- gether most surely to a participation in the triumph of the right, to a cer- tain victory in the greatest and, let us hope, the last great war in human history. “And when that victory shall have been won. let us together help in the upbuilding of a new warld which shall rise, fair and strong and beautiful, from the ashes of the old.” WHEAT GAMBLING STOPPED.

Hylan of Brooklyn as its candidate for mayor. The business men's league, an auxiliary organization, has already come out In favor of Judge Hylan's nomination. It now remains only for Tammauy to accept Mr. Hylan to put the democratic ticket into the field. The anti-Mitchel slate follows: John J. Hylan, for mayor. Alfred E. Smith, for president of the board of aldermen. Frank L. Dowlng, president of Manhattan. Whether Charles F.'Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, will accept Judge Hylan as the organization candidate was the main subject of speculation in democratic circles last night. Tam- many district leaders, frankly, do not want Hylan.

Herbert C. Hoover clamped the 1id down yester- day. The only speculative commod- ities left are corn, oats and provisions. It is believed these will be put on the same basis as wheat before long. This means the blotting out of hun- dreds of millions of dollars of specu- lative business and curtailment of the incomes of 2,500 brokers and com- mission companies. In response to a request from Food Administrator Hoover, the board ot‘ trade will stop all trading in Sep-l tember wheat after Aug. 25. ] GILLIGAN EXECUTION HALTED. Hanging Cannot Take Place Nov. 8 Through Appeal. Hareford, Aug. 15.—Counsel Mrs. Amy E. Archer-Gilligan yesterday declared that they were now certain that the sentence of death could not be executed on the date set, Nov. 6. While preliminary steps have been taken to appeal the case nothing can be done further until- September say the counsel, be- cause the supreme court will not again convene until then. Technicalities of procedure they say will tie up the case so that it cannot reach a hearing at the Oc. tober term of the supreme court but the same technicalities will prevent the execution of the penalty imposed July 13. for late certain terms that thbir first choice is Sheriff Alfred E.
