BRITISH PLAN
TO FIGHT UNTIL
THE ALLIES WIN
Sir Edward Carson, in Outlining
First Year of War Says Peace
is Immoral, Impossible.
ALLIES MUST CRUSH GERMANY .
No Such Word of Peace in the
Vocabulary is Assertion of
Cabinet Member.
NATION'S TOES ARE MISTAKEN
LONDON. Auk. 1. Sir Edward
Carson, attorney general In the As
qulth cabinet, has prepared for The
Associated Press a signed statement
gtrlng a broad outline of the first
year of the war from the British
tandpolnt together with expression
of the unalterable purpose of the
British government and people to
carry on the war to a successful con
clusion. The statement follows;
"How long will the war last and what
will be the result? To such auestlons as
this any British subject can give but one
answer and that Is the war will last until
the cause of the allies has been brought
to a successful Issue and Europe and the
world have been relieved from the Ideals
Involved In the aggression of Prussian
domination.
Peace Not In Vocabulary.
"The word peace does not enter Into
our vocabulary at present. It Is banished
from our conversation aa something Im
moral and Impossible under existing cir
cumstances. And yet we are the most
peace-loving people In the world, a nation
which, throughout the globe, within Its
many dominions, has inculcated good gov
ernment and social and Industrial prog
ress and the free exercise, In Its widest
sense, of civil and religious liberty.
"Rightly or wrongly we have in the
past devoted our energies and our intelli
gence not to preparations for war, but
to that social progress which makes for
the happiness and the contentment of
the mass of our people. And In this, no
doubt. Is the reason why other nations
Imagine that we, as a nation of shop
keepers, are too Indolent and apathetic
to fight for and maintain these priceless
liberties won by the men who laid the
foundation of our vast empire.
For Are Mistaken.
"But they are entirely mistaken In
forming any such estimate of the
temperament or determination of our
people. Great Britain hates war and no
nation enters "mfiFe reluctantly upon Its
horrible and devastating operations but.
at the same time, no nation, when it is
driven to war by the machinations of lis
foes who desire to filch from It or from
Its co-champlons of liberty any portion
of their Inherited freedom, is more re-.
solved to see ths matter through, at what
ever coat, to a successful issue.
"A year of war has transformed Oreat
Britain. Of our navy. I need hardly
speak. It has held up to the fullest ex
tent the great traditions which fills the
pages of history In the past; It has
driven Its enemies off the seas; It holds
vast oceans free for almost uninterrupted
commerce of neutral powers, and It has
preserved these highways for its own
supplies! of materials and food without
Interruption.
Peril of Sabmarlae.
"I do not minimize the peril of the
submarine, which is In process of being
dealt with through the careful and sealous
watchfulness of our admiralty; but
while the submarine has enabled the
Germans to commit savage and Inhuman
atrocities contrary to the laws of civili
sation and against the settled rules of
International law. It has done nothing to
affect the vast commerce of our empire.
"The darn-inn submarine attack has
signally failed to hamper our military
operations. Under the protection of our
navy hundreds of thousands of men havs
been brought to the fighting area from
the most distant parts of the empire.
Troop ships are crossing daily to Prance
and not a single ship or soldier has been
lost In the passage. The manner In which
our troops have received their supplies Is
a source of satisfaction to us and ad
miration of our enemies."

HINT NEW CHAPTER
OF BARTLEY CASE
Attorney General Reed is Consider
ing Suit to Recover from "Friends"
Who Borrowed the Money.
NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Aug. 1. (Special.)
Is another chapter In the famous
Bartley case soon to be opened up?
That is a question said to be disturb
ing various former "friends" of the
former state treasurer, who bad per
suaded themselves that the story had
been closed and that they could sleep
in comfort, only now to hear dis
quieting rumors that Attorney Gen
eral Reed reconsidering the question
of proceedings to recover back for
the state treasury the sums that may
be traced to beneficiaries who are in
a position to make reimbursement.
While It has been known some such
steps had been figured on at different
times, only to be held off by Invisible
"Influence," the hint that something may
be soon doing now comes In this tip from
Edgar Howard in his personal column
In his Columbus Telegram I
Attorney General Reed is a prettv busy
man. but still I believe that within a

school-money thieves, and I guess there
will be something doing before the Ides
of November.
The legal status of the matter Is that
when Bartley was pardoned out. It was
with an understanding that he wouia
himself collect In the money he had
loaned out and pay It over to the state,
representing that he could not da this
while behind prison bars. e nevor

It Is said that no statute of limitations

John K. Lawson. in whose behalf tho
meeting today was held, remains In Jail
In Trinidad aa a result of hla conviction
of first degree murder In connection with
strike disturbance.
Reviewing the conviction of Lawaon,
Mr. Pinchot said: "To convict a man
of murder in the fourth degree upon suoh
unsound, fully Impeached, hired evi
dence Is simply a travesty upon Justice.
"Forcing strikers to use violence has
become a part of the operators regular
technique In Industrial disputes.
"Labor can no longer win strikes alone.
First, because tbs labor surplus la so
large. Second, labor cannot bring half
the violence to bear that the employer
can, not only on the field of
action, but In the courts, newspapers and
legislatures. Labor no longer wins
strikes, peaceful or bloody, except Inso
far as It succeeds In calling public at
tention to existing conditions.
"Political parties, reform bodies and
even the church do not play a helpful
part In the struggle for economic Jus-
j tlce."

The Laboring Men
To Avoid Strikes
MEUIDAN, Conn., Aug. t While In
sisting that the right of the wrtklnrman
to strike 1 of paramount Importance,
Eamuel Gompers, president of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, In a speech here
today advland tha laboring roan to avoid
strikes and to remember that "employers
have some rights." He also referred to
the effect of the European war on Ameri
can labor conditions and expressed tha
oplnoln that the Eastland dlaaster might
have been the act of Uod to defeat the
out cry against the seamen's act.
Referring to labor conditions, Mr.
Gompers said:
"Men must learn that employers have
some rights. If you will Investigate, you
will find that strikes oftener are caused
by unorganised or recently organised
labor. In the latter case the workers
suddenly think themselves all powerful
and Imagine employers have no rights.
Avoid strikes. The right to strike Is or
paramount Importance, not the exercise
of that right.
"Of the effect of European war con
ditions on American labor, Mr. Gompers
said:
"The great European conflagration,
may result In good If It crushes out the
oplrlt of militarism, and In Ita place of
fers the spirit of humanity. In this
country when tha war Is over, thousands
of workers will be thrown out of em
ployment, because of the cutting off of
tho present artificial market for the
neceaaltlea of Ufa as well as for the Im
plements of war. Labor organisations
should prepare for this condition."
