Wilson of Stromsburg, the democratic_candidate for State Rail- way commissioner, spoke at the after- noon meeting of the Christian association Sunday on the subject of public coming to Aurora, he, or some one acting for him, gave to the papers a copy of what his speech at r Mr. Wilson did not deliver the speech which was given . His addgess as given was non- partisan and conservative. ment g_iven out to the newspapers was a partisan harrangue. Much indignation has pressed already in Aurora at the false statement of this speech which was T TR given out by Mr. Wilson. F. E.| Bee Want Ads Produce Results.A following out its pledge to keep U boat warfare within international law- It was pointed out that the geo- graphical psoximity of the new zone of operations to American shores could not in itself impair the legality of properly conducted high seas war- are. Should a submarine flotilla develop a patrol approximating a blockade outside American ports, however, a serious issue might arise. The United States notified Great Britain.early in the war that it regarded the cm.\tinue.d presence of belligerent warships “in the offings of the gremt American commercial centers” ~as a practice which “may be regarded according to the canons of inteinational courtes{ as a just ground for offense, althoug it might be strictly legal” The British government replied that it was “unaware of the existence of any rules or principles of international law which render belligerent opera- tions which are legitimate in one part of the high seas illegitimate in an- cther,” but, nevertheless, moved back its cruisers from the immediate vicin- ity of American territorial waters. Start of Big Camoaign. That the attacks off Nantucket marked the opening of an organized campaign in the wéstern Atlantic is not doubted here. Many officials be- lieve that at least two, and possibly a half dozen or more U boats are as- sembled for the campaign, and that a| supply ship, perhaps/ a submersible of the Deutschland type, also is pres- ent, Whatever the American destroy- er flotilla in ‘the area of operations may have discovered regarding the number of raiders will not be dis-| closed, however, the Navy depart- ment holding the dissemination of such information would be unneutral. News of the sinking of the many ships today drew expressions of sat- isfaction from the ranking Teuton diplomats. Bernstorff Gets Letter.
