London, Aug. 2. Sir Roger Case

morning for high treason. The exe
cutioner will be private. Lord Rob
ert Cecil, minister of war trade, today
made known to the Associated Press
that it was the British government's
determinaton not to reprieve Sir
Roger.
Beyond lie statement of Lord Rob

announcement to the effect that the
execution will be carried out tomor
row has been made public. Officials
inimatcd to the Associated fress.
however, that this was quite the usual
procedure, as a sentence on a convic
tion carries witn it tne natural suppo
sition of execution, the only occasion
for an official announcement being the
granting of a reprieve of a commuta
tion ot sentence.
While the government maintains si
lence as to the formal effort made on
behalf of Sir Roger, it is known that
oetitions were received as late as to
day. The foreign office says no com
munication Has Deen receivea irom
the State department at Washington

The whole subject surrounding Sir
Roger's case has been seriously con
sidered by the cabinet and the deter
mination to let the law take its course
proved unalterable. The decision of
th government will cause some sur
prise as the opinion had become wide
spread that the sentence of Sir Roger
would be commuted at the last mo
ment to life imprisonment.

troops took a powerfully fortified
German work between Helm wood
and Monacu farm, it was officially
announced by the French war depart
ment this afternoon.
On the right bank of the Meuse
river, north of the fortress of Ver
dun, there was a violent series of en
gagements throughout the night at
Vaux-Le-Chapitre wood and Chenois,
extending to the east as far as to the
south of Damloup.
After a series of unsuccessful at
tacks, some with asphyxiating gas, the
Germans gained a little ground in
Vaux-Le-Chapitre wood and at Che
nois. During the actions the French
took prisoner 100 Germans, including
three officers.
A Russian reconnoiterihg party, the
statement adds, made a bayonet
charge in the Champagne region, dis
persing a German detachment.
Text of Statement.
The text of the statement follows:
"North of the Somme, between
Helm wood and the Monacu farm, our
troops captured a fortified work
strongly held by the enemy. South
of this river, an attack, delivered by
us near Estrecs, resulted m our oc
cupation of a German trench to the
northwest of Deniecourt; we also
took some prisoners.
In the Champagne district, west
of Auberive, a Russian reconnoitering
party delivered a bayonet charge
against a detachment of the enemy,
which was thereby dispersed, leaving
behind a number of dead.
'On the right bank of the Meuse
river the fighting continued last night
with violence along the front between
Vaux Le Chapitre and Chenois ana
spread to the east as far as a point
to the south of Damlouo. The enemy,
after a series of fruitless attacks,
some of which were accompanied by
the spreading of asphyxiating gas,
gained a little ground in the Vaux
Le Chapitre wood and at Chenois, but
elsewhere all their endeavors were
checked bv our fire. In the course
of these engagements, which result. -d
in important losses to the enemy, we
took 100 prisoners, including three officers.
"Alons the Somme front our avia
tors yesterday showed great activity.
A total of thirty-three aerial encoun
ters took olace over the lines of the
enemy. One German aeroplane, at
tacked by two iMeuport machines, was
seen to fall in flames, while fourteen
other German machines, seriously
damaged, were compelled to land or
were seen to dive down witmn tneir
lines.

WILLOOX DISCUSSES IT
(From Staff Correapondvnl)
New York, Aug. 2. (Special Tele
gram.) As a result of a conference
in Omaha, participated in by G. W.
Wattles, J. L. Webster, Gould Dietz,
Everett Buckingham, Norris Brown
and Victor Rosewater it was agreed
that an effort should be made to
secure the presence of Charles Evans
Hughes on some date during histori
cal week for Omaha.
Gould Dietz, who came here as a
member of the notification committee,
had a conference with Chairman Will
cox today.
Mr. Deitz reviewed the political
situation so far as Nebraska is con
cerned, with Chairman Willcox, then
told him of the advantages of a visit
to Omaha on historical week, which
is expected to eclipse any similar
week in the history of the state.
Mr. Willcox told Mr. Dietz that
Omaha was on Mr. Hughes' itinerary
for the second trip, but the date
was open. He, however, agried that
ihe week of October 1st was ad
vantageous in many particulars, even
outside its historical import and he
?ave Mr. Dietz to understand that
Omaha should have most considera
tion, although the pressure of all
parts of the country for Mr. Hughes
was tremendous.
Mr. Dietz came away from the in
terview greatly encouraged. Mr
and Mrs. Dietz leave today for Bos
ton. American Red
Cross Workers Win
Honors in France
Paris, Aug. 2. Six members of the
American Field ambulance were cited
today in the orders of the day of the
French army;'--
Flrook Leonard Edwards of Phila
delphia is mentioned as having
shown "the greatest courage and
coolness in seeking the wounded in
the advance. The ambulance was
damaged by bursting shells," con
tinues the citation, "in crossing a
violently bombarded zone. He re
paired his machine and fulfilled his
mission completely, conveying
wounded beyond the danger zone."
James Hilton Sponagle of Glouces
ter, Mass., is cited for "his remarkable
coolness in repairing his motor on
the road under violent bombardment
and transporting wounded during a
period of intense shelling."
Thomas Potter of New York,
Everett Tackson of Colorado Springs,
Colo.; Walter Wheeler of Yonkers,
N. Y., and John Clark of Flushing, N.
Y., are each cited separately for the
calm devotion with which they car
ried out their duties amid perilous
conditions. All the men named are
working in the Verdun region, under
the direction of Herbert Townsend
and Henry White.
Section No. 1 of the ambulance is
also cited as "crossing many times
a locality intensely bombarded with
poisonous gas shells and working
without rest for thirty-two hours."
Five Hundred
Lives Are Lost
In Forest Fires
Toronto, Ont, Aug. 2. Estimates
today of the number of dead in the
bush fires of northern Ontario Satur
day and Sunday are put at 500 by
refugees arriving from the various lo
calities in the fire-swept zone. From
many sections known to have been
sprinkled with settlers no word has
been received at any of the northern
towns of refuge, and this is taken to
mean that all have perished.
A score of refugees, with burns and
all showing signs of suffering, arrived
here today with stories tf thrilling
escapes.
Fred i'illei, who was postman and
stage driver from Matheson to
Munro, told how he and a few others
tried to escape in the small stage. The
flames caught them. They cut the
horses loose and fled into a wet ditch
and there fought off the flames that
burned their clothing and scorched
theii bodies.
National Women's
Party Declares
War Upon Wilson
Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 2.
The announcement from the White
House that President Wilson's atti
tude toward the Susan B. Anthony
amendment was unchanged was re
garded at the headquarters of the Na
tional Women's party as hostile to the
movement.
"The women of the United Slates
cannot allow a man who has taken
such a stand to return to the Whjte
House for another four years," said
Miss Mabel Vernon, secretary of the
National Women's party. "There is
no other course for the National
Woman's party to pursue. We must
fight for our rights."

INFANTRY ALSO SENT OUT
BULLETIN.
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 2 A thorough
search of the territory between Kind
lay and Fort Hancock by United
States regulars failed to disclose
Mexican bandits. This information
was contained in reports to General
George Bell, jr. Troops had bera j
sent to the district early today, upon
receipt of advices that approximately
150 bandits had crossed the Rio
Grande. .
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 2. Two troops
of the Eighth cavalry, under com
mand of Captain William Kclley, jr.,
are scouring the gulches and canyons
between Finlay, Tex., and Fort Han
cock, about seventy miles cast of here,
in search of bandits.
The cavalry is supported by a bat
talion of the Twenty-third infantry,
rushed from El Paso to Fort Han
cock early this morning in response
to reports to General George Bell, jr.,
commanding the El Paso military dis
trict, that bandits in large numbers
had crossed the Rio Grande in that
vicinity.
First reports to General Belt from
the cavalry column said three hours'
search of the hills disclosed no trace
of bandits.
The infantry, transported in motor
trucks, is being held at Fort Hancock
together with a motor cycle squad
also sent from El Paso to reinforce
the cavalry should the trail of the
bandits be picked up.
Reports to General Bell estimated
the number of bandits variously from
SO to 175. One report said that the
bandits form the main body of which
the five who engaged a joint com
mand of Mexican and American cav
alrymen below Fort Hancock on
Monday were the advance guard.
Previous reports that bandils were
in the neighborhood had been brought
here last Saturday night by officers
of the First Delaware infantry. Thev
asserted that the troop train on which
they were riding enroute to Deming.
N. M., was fired upon in the vicinity
of Finlay.
Reports of the presence of a large
party of bandits in the district which
thorough search failed to verify were
received at military headquarters

vice received by leaders of the party
here yesterday. When Charles E.

will be to find the western campaign
under way, it is said.
Speculation is active among Illi

COUNT IS HALF FINISHED
New York, Aug. 2. When 200,000
of the 400,000 ballots cast by members
of four brotherhoods who are voting
on the question of calling i general
strike on 225 railroads had been
counted at noon today, it was an
nounced that "a preponderant num
ber of the men are in favor of a
strike."
The ballots counted today are main
ly votes of the eastern and southern
members of the "Big Four" railway
brotherhoods. The western and south
western chairmen will arrive in a few
days with the ballots from their re
spective communities. It is expected
that the lowest number of votes cast
in favor of the 6trike will come from
the eastern members of the railway
unions. However, no matter what the
number of votes cast against the
strike by the eastern men, there is
practically no doubt the majority of
them favor the strike, it was asserted.
South Strong for Strike.
Thus far, the largest number of
votes in favor of the strike have been
cast by the members from the south.
One of the southerners, who is in
touch with the vote counting, pre
dicted today that the vote from his
section would run approximately as
follows:
"Engineers, 96 per cent; trainmen,
98 per cent; firemen, 99J4 per cent,
and conductors, 94 per cent.
An official of the Southeastern As
sociation of Trainmen, who is in close
touch with the situation, declared to
day that 99'A per cent of the mem
bers of the four orders of railway
workers of the south favor a strike.
It had been expected the counting
of the vote would be completed by
August 7, but at the rate the count
is being made it ought to be com
plete before that, unless there should

Guard during peace times at such
points throughout the country as will
make for quick and efficient equip
ment when troops are called for
federal service.
Establishment of twelve general

equipment for a division of troops of
22,000 men of all arms of the service
is contemplated. The depots will he

STRIKE OF NEW KORK
GAR MEN PROBABLE
Mayor Mitchel is Making Effort
to Prevent Tie Up of All
Traction Lines in City.
FEARS EFFORTS FUTILE
New York, Aug. 2. While some of
the leaders of the movement to in
volve all street car lines in New York
in the strike on the Third Avenue sys
tem were busy enrolling the employes
of other lines into the union, others
called on Mayor Mitchel today, in
formed him of the union's demands
and agreed to meet him tomorrow
morning with representatives of the
street railway corporations in another
effort to bring about a satisfactory
settlement.
These leaders informed Mayor
Mitchel that there had been one in
stance at least of the discharge by
the New York Street Railways com
pany of an employe for union activi
ties, and that a strike would be the
inevitable result. The mayor re
quested them to withnotd action un
til tomorrow's conference and elicited
a promise, it was announced at the
mayor's office, that his wishes would
be respected.
Meantime the New York Railways
company was making preparations
against a strike, and already has
gathered a force of several hundred
professional strikebreakers. The po
lice also were taking all precautions
and Police Commissioner Woods has
assurances from Governor Whitman
that 10,000 state militiamen were
available to prevent disorder should
the strike prove too big a problem for
the police.
Although the mayor has rot re
linquished hope of bringing about ar
bitration, it was said he feels that the
attitude of the strike leaders and rail
way officials is such that the chances
of avoiding a strike are small.
The threatened tieup of every car
line in greater New York is to be only
the first step in a nation-wide strike
of street car men in order to win the
union's demand for the right to or
ganize everywhere, it was stated today
by Louis Frediger, counsel for the
union organizers.
"It is a country-wide affair," Mr.
Frediger declared. "The organizing
of street railway men is progressing
rapidly. Attention is to be centered
first on New York City."
Conferees on Army
Bill Strike Snag
Washington, Aug. 2. Conferees
on the army appropriation bill today
encountered a stumbling block which
caused adjournment of the committee
until tomorrow. The senate com
mitteemen flatly refused to accept an
amendment to the revised articles of
war submitted by Representative
Hay, which would exempt retired
army officers from some of the disci
plinary provisions of the regulations.
Consideration of the appropriations
practically has been completed, but
no announcement of the revised fig
ures had been made.
Norfolk, Va Aug. 2. Radio mes
sages received here late today said
the German submarine Deutschland
was off New Point Comfort, near the
entrance to Mobjack bay, fully forty
five miles from Cape Henry. This
would mean a four hours' run to Cape
Henry in the event that Captain
Koenig decided to make hij dash to
sea tonight.
The Deutschland's position places
it in or close to the channel of York
river and marine men here suggested
that it might be making either for
that river or Mobjack bay to anchor
for the night.
Newport News, Va., Aug. 2. Tha
Deutschland was reported off Thim
ble Shoal lighthouse, about four or
five miles from Fortress Monroe, at
4 o'clock. It seemed to be heading
for Fortress Monroe.
Observers at Fortress Monroe said
at 4.0 that the vessel believed to be
the Deutschland appeared to have
anchored close to the Thimble Shoal
light.
Cape Henry, Va., Aug. 2. The Ger
man merchant submarine Deutschland
had not been sighted here at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon, twenty-one
hours after it left Baltimore on its
return trip to Germany. Marine men
believed the boat had stopped some
where up Chesapeake bay, as not
more than seventeen hours would
have been necessary for it to make
the trip here, even at a moderate rate
of speed.

off Tangier Sound, about sixty miles

Although last night it was said to
be making sixteen knots, it apparently
has been proceeding since at a much
s ower rate of speed. On the trip up
the bay after its arrival off the capes
only seventeen hours was required
for the run from Hampton Roads to
Baltimore.
Much surprise was occasioned her
by reporu brought by passengers on
an incoming coastwise steamer that
only one allied warship was on guard,
today off the capes.
Rumor of Allies' Trap.
Newport News, Va., Aug. 2. Tha
German merchant submarine Deutsch
land was sighted off Tangier sound at
6 o clock this morning. It was still
heading toward the lower bay at a
high rate of speed. Tangier sound is
about seventy-five miles above the
capes.
Two :.jroplanes were seen flyin
over lower Chesapeake Bay at Hampj
ton Roads shortly after daybreak this
morning. They were not from tha
Atlantic coast aeronautical station
here. It is believed they came from
the armored cruiser North Carolina,
on neutrality patrol off the Virginia
capes.
The machines maneuvered back and
forth over the water at a moderata
altitude.
Passengers arriving today on an
Old Dominion liner from New York
reported that when the ship ap
proached the Virginia capes, only one
foreign warship was sighted. They
told of seeing an object lying low in
the water, with two masts visible, to
ward which the foreign cruiser was
heading. It looked like two huge
buoys with masts above, and some of
the passengers thought it might be
supporting a net It lay just outside
the three-mile limit, where the chan
net is narrow.

marine Deutschland which sailed from

fiected to come from some point in

The Solomons island dispatch said
that the Deutschland was steaming at
