Madrid, Aug. 15—Premier Dato at noon_today announced that _artillery had been used in Barcelona against a house in the Paseo de Gracia, from which hidden revolutionaries had fired upon and killed Captain Justo Fernan- dez and wounded three soldiers. The house was demolished and a number of its inmates were killed or wounded. Artillery also was used at Sabadell, in Catalonia, ten miles northwest of Barcelona, where two civil guards were killed and three wounded and a large number of strikers were Kkilled or wounded in the fighting. Reinforce- ments have been sent to Sabadell. Premier Dato said the general strike had been a failure, since the revolu- tionaries had been unable to bring about the paralysis of any public er- vice. The government was confident, he said, of the support of public opin- fon and he believed order would be rapidly restored. The premier added that the police had captured secret codes used by the revolutionaries to communicate with the different provinces and other pa- pers which gave the key t the entire movement. The city was more calm today than yesterday. Who and STEPS TAKEN TO REMOVE MAYOR THOMPSON OF CHICAGO By the Execcutive Committes of the National Security League.

Meakin. 2 Boston, Aug. 15.—L. H. Meakin of Cincinnatl, for 20 years on the staff of the Cincinnati Art museum and wide- Iy known as a painter of New England landscapes, dled after an operation at a hospital here yesterday. Mr. Meakin, who was born In Newcastle, England, had received awards for paintings at many expositions. He was a former president of the Society of Western Artists. George C. Blickensderfer. Sound Beach, Conn., Aug. 15.—George C. Blickensderfer, vice president of the Blickensderfer Manufacturing company, died at his home here today. He was the Inventor of a typewriter which bears his_ name. Ho later adapted it to the Chinese alphabet, an accomplishment which so interested the Japanese government that it re- vised its written language to adapt it to a typewriter keyboard. Mr. Blickensderfer also, since .the beginning of the war, invented many devices now In use by maders of mu- nitions and equipments.

Copenhagen, - Aug. 15.—Renewal of the entente offensive on the west front on a greater scale than ever before is looked for by German newspapers, ac- cording to Berlin despatches. It is ex- pected that the new allied attempt may be made on a section of the front heretofore quite ‘calm. 3 POPE’S PEACE MOVE NOT FAVORED BY' ALLIES. All Agrecd That There Must Be Made a .Response to the Proposals. Washington, Aug. 15—Conferences among cntente diplomats today crys- tallized into conviction the opinion here that Pops Benedict's peace move is not Iikely to change in any substantial de- gree the attitude either of the allles or the American government. It is agreed, however, that thers must be made a response to the pope’s proposals far more comprehensive than a mere acknowledgment of receipt. To do this without opening the field to argument which might result in de- veloping differences between the allies to be seized upon by the Germans is realized to be a delicate undertaking. On the other hand, some considera- tion is being given to the suggestion that the pontiff has given President Wilson a golden opportunity to impress again upon the American people and the world in the most convincing fash- ion the rectitude of his position in rec- ommending to congress the declara- tion of a state of war with Germazy. Secretary Lansing is reserving any expression of opinion until he has the official text of the pope's message. Ex- perience has taught him that often traps are concealed in diplomatic com- munications that are not visible in any abstract. While there is no disposi- tion to question the good faith of the pope, it is conceivable that he might have been imposed upon by German cunning assuming that he had been induced to take this step through the pleas of the strong Catholic elements in_Austria and Bavaria. The official text had not reached Washington tonight, but that fact did not prevent various diplomatic_confer- ences on the subjoct. Mr. Lansing talked during the day separately with Ambassador Jusserand of France and Colville Barclay, charge of the British embassy in the absence of Ambassa- dor Spring-Rice. These talks may be regarded at preliminary to the more formal exchanges expected to take place among the alfied powers before answers' are returned to the vatican proposals, and it is understood they are designed to place the foreign offices in London and Paris in possession of the general views of Secretary Lansing as a basis for their own actions. In anticipation of an outburst of peace talk at the capitol, plans were made during the day by senate leaders, both democratic and republican, to prevent cpen discussion of the subject in the senate. They propose to force executive sessions and close the doore upon th.- beginning by any eenator of an address bearing on peace negotia- tions or the general subject of peace. Today the fact appeared that every representativa of the entente allied powers is bitterly opposed to that phase of the pobe's proposals which would leave to the fate of a round ta- ble conference the disposition of such questions as Alsace-Lorraine, Poland and Ttalia Irredentia. and it was re- called that precisely that bait was held out by Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg more than a vear ago. when he real- ized that the German wave of invasion had reached its height and that the tide might be expected to ebb. “ONDONERS CELEBRATED SECOND AMERICAN DAY A Large Contingent of American Troops Marched Through the Center London, Aug. 15—Tondoners cele- brated today a second American day when a large contingent of American troops from R Laining camp marched fhrough the &eart of the capital in fesponse %to a popular demand that its citizens should sce and greet the visitors whose presence, whose doings 2pd characteristics have commanded » remarkable degree of popular at- lentlon. Britishers are not demonstrative and the movements of their own and even colonial troops through London during the war have not aroused the people. but they let themselves go to- day and, as the editor of the Specta- for predicted, their cheers almost made the buildings rock. American flags were displayed everywhere on government offices, business Mouses end residences and many people were American colors, King George, Queen Mary, Dowager Queen’ Alexandra and other doyalties reviewed the parade in the court frontinz Buckingham Palace. Ameri- van Ambassador Page and Vice Admi- ral Sims reviewed the parade from the American embassy. The British cabinet adjourned ifs meeting to watch the Americans march through Whitehall. Toreign Secretary Balfour, General Robertson, chief of the gen- eral staff: Lord Derby, secretary of state for war, Admiral Jellicoe and Field Marshal French were among the many officials who saluted the Amer- Ican” flag from the balconies of gov- ernment offices. The newspapers agree that London has witnessed only two or three events of s0o much enthusiasm within ' the memorifes of the present gemeration. ADDITIONAL TRAINING . FOR NEW ENGLAND MEN Alfred H.

May Force Holland Into the War. Whether or no_such an eventuality would ultimately force Holland into the war the members of the mission did not care to prophecy. This, they contended, depended on the capacity of the Dutch people to bear privations and on unforeseenablo circumstances, but it would manifestly render Hol- land’s position most serious and would make her more than ever dependent upon the central powers, to whom she would presumably be obliged to turn to try to get grain, as well as the pres- ent essential, coal, necessarily in =x- change for equivalent concessions. and in which case the American aim of stopping Dutch food exports toward Germany would still be defeated. The principal spokesman of the mis- sion was Joost van Vollenhoven, the former managing_director and still a director of the Netherlands Overseas ‘Frust and managing director of the Netherlands Bank. He hinted at the conclusions Holland would reluctantly have to draw regarding the Over- seas trade for the future she having hitherto always reckoned that shc could safely lean on that trade no matter what happened to her eastern supplies. Hopeful of Success. The members of the mission however, in no wise anticipated such a failure of their efforts. On the contrar; they were hopeful of success and said they would leave no stone unturned to schieve it. Joost van Vollenhoven and his col- leagues pin great faith on personal contact to clear up the misunder- standing between Holland and the TUnited States and to arrive at an ar- tangement. Questioned regarding what Holland was prepared to concede for the privi- lege of obtaining provisions from the United States. the members of the mis- sion spoke guardedly, but their re- marks justify the deduction that the Netherlands would he agreeable to the chartering of part of her mercantile flieet. The one anxiety on this head was lest Holland should be wanted to do_anything calculated to mix her up with the war and embroil her with Germany hence the wish was expressed that any such ships should be employ- *d outside European waters. Willing to Take Over Belgian Relief. Herr _von_ Vollenhoven _expressly stated that The Netherlands govern- ment would welcome a scheme like that of taking over the Belgian melief shipping service. The members of the mission em- phatically declared that - while Hol- land’s supplies of the products of her soil to both sides were automatically decreasing, it was impossible to alter the present fixed division arrangement in the sense of a smaller percentage going to Germany and a larger amount to the entente countries and would ex- pose the country to the greatest dang- er. The only possible course in this direction would be to reduce or cease exports to both groups of bellizeren's. Her van Vollenhoven expressed the opinion that in view of the Rumanian and other supplies, the severing of the central powers’ food imports from the western neutrals would not disable the Teuton countries. He said that dis- nblement only was to be achieved if It were possible to cut off oil, copper &nd similar vital supplies. Asked why The Netherlands could not make herself independent of Ger- many respeeting coal, by getting sup- plies from England, the members of the mission declared that apart from British conditions the shipment of 350,000 tons monthly, which is the amount of the reduced ration recently allowed by Germany, it was quite im- vpractiable. Regarding the pending negotiations with Germany on the coal question, The Associated Press was assured thai Germany was not aiming at a depart- ure from Holland’s export diversion mgreement in her favor but in view of German labor shortage the coal supply was likely to be further reduc- ed. Holland woud like, said, but doesn’t expect to get, -he full ration of 75.000 tons of grain monthly from the United States. EPIDEMIC OF ANTHRAX AMONG BLOODED CATTLE On Farm of William G. Atkins Bristol—Quarantine Established. Hartford, Conn., Aug. 15.—An epi- demic of anthrax among the blooded cattle at the farm of Willam G. At- kins, in Bristol, has caused a quar- antine to be placed there. Six of the Atkins herd have already died of the disease and two pedigreed bulls being among the number. The state commission of domestic an- imals believe that infection of the cat- tle came through hay imported from other regions. The shifting of cattle or dairy products from the infection farm has been prohibited by the com- mission. GERMAN SOCIALISTS ARE DISAPPOINTED Over British Refusal to Grant P ports to Stockholm. London, Aug. 15.—According to an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Amsterdam, the decision of the Brit- ssh government to refuse passports to delegates to the international socialist conference at Stockholm has produced the deepest disappointment among the German socialists. It is generally feared, the despatch says, that the Sonference scheme has been definitely the delegates Deutschland is a War Boat wERMAN SUBMARINE HAS BEEN CONVERTED HAS 6 TORPEDO TUBES it is Said She May Leave for Pacific Ocean to Operate Against Traffic From San Francisco—Other News of German Navy. Copenhagen, Aug. 15—The German commercial _submarine Deutschland, which visited the United States before that country entered the war, has been converted into a war submarine, ac cording to German fleet gossip reaching The Associated Press. The Deutsch- land has a great radius of action and has been fitted with six torpedo tubes. To'Operate in the Pacific. The submarine, it is said, may soon leave for the Pacific to operate against traffic from San Francisco. The U boat was to have started activities some time ago, but an explosion on board while the vessel was on trial made necessary repairs which took considerable time. Losses in Submarines. The German losses in submarines, according to the informant of The Associated Press, who . recently had been at Wilhelmhaven and with the German fleet, has been twenty to twenty-two boats, this figure appar- ently covering the losses since the start of the unrestricted submarine warfare campaign. Four additional boats are said to have been lost in the Mediterranean. Germany Has 300 Submarines. Germany now has almost 300 sub- marines, the newest boats being of the big ag type and armed with a six-inch gun. This armament ap- peared on boats in commission the middle of June, the earlier boats of this latset, or D. E. E. type, and the pre- ceding C. E. E. type being armed with a pair of 105 millimeter guns, approx- imately four-inch guns, four and aft. The 300 submarines, however, include a large number of the so-called canal boat type, built for passage through the Belgian canals to Zeebrugge and which are of inferior armament and a emaller radius of action. The German fleet, according to the informant, justifies its name of high sea fleet by Tunning out from Wilhelm- haven with considerable regularity, sometimes two or three times a week. The fleet only makes short trips how- ever and never goes far out to sea. Delayed by Thick Weather. The high sea fleet usually leaves Wilhelmshaven in the evening and is back by early dinner ime, between 11 and noon on the following day. Only ® few occasions it has remained out longer but only because thick weath- wet in, making passage through the German mine fields dangerous and forcing it to remain in the shelter of Helgoland until weather cleared. A greater part of the time the battle- *hips and cruisers comprising the bat- Yle fleet are anchored in safety behind mine fields and nets and a triple line of pickets protecting the entrance to the base. Once in March the fleet had ® considerable period of enforced re- pose when British mine lavers taking ndvantaze of thick weather, sowed the coastal waters so full of mines that the German vessels were unable to leave warbor. The enlisted personnel of the fleet knew nothing of American prepara- tions for active participation in the war. The men were told by their of- ficers that America’s declaration of war on Germany was only issued as a cover fo preparations aaginst Japan and that American troops would not be used in Europe.

STRIKE AT REMINGTON ARMS PLANT CALLED OFF Following a Conferehce Between Man- agement and Joint Committee of Polishers and Grinders. Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 15.—The polishers’ strike in the Remington Arms plant was called off today fol- lowing a conference between the Rem- ington management and a joint com- mittee of the polishers and grinders. The grinders will return to work to- morrow morning and the polishers will return by the end of this week.
