Brief Paragraphs.
Washington
One thousand eight hundred and
twenty merchant ships, with an ap
proximate gross tonnage of 3,328,584,
have been sunk by belligerent na
tions since the war began in Europe,
is the report received in Washington,
and is practically verified.
A dispatch from Paris, France, says
that the League of the Rights of Man
declares that lasting peace can be
only be made possible by the founda
tion of a society of nations whose
guiding principle shall be the settle
ment of differences by law.
Reports of the national banks’ con
dition on September 12 by the comp
troller of the currency shows that
the resources of the banks of this
country are the greatest in the na
tion’s history.
Havana, Cuba, dispatches announce
that election returns indicate that Al
fredo Zayas lias been elected president
of the Cuban republic.
So many conflicting elements have
appeared in the destruction of the
British ship Marina by a German sub
marine with loss of American lives
that the incident threatens to fall into
a technical discussion.
W. P. G. Harding of Birmingham,
Ala., governor of the federal reserve
board, says that when conditions
throughout the world approach nor
mal the federal reserve banking sys
tem of the United States will be the
most powerful agency in assuring this
country a sound financial system.
Colombia has protested to the Unit
ed States against the new canal
route treaty with Nicaragua on the
ground that the granting of a 99-year
lease to the United States government
by Nicaragua is a denial of Colom
bian sovereignty over the islands af
fected. It is an interesting question,
and discussion will be prolonged.
First Sergeant Roswell Winans and
Corporal Joseph A. Glowin of the ma
rine corps who displayed extraordi

Advanced prices for coal asked by
dealers throughout the country are not
justified by actual conditions of the
coal market, in the opinion of many
authorities throughout the country,
and President Wilson has appealed to
the patriotism of the owners of the
coal miners.
After receiving unofficial informa
tion that six Americans had lost
their lives by the sinking of the Brit
ish steamship Marina, President Wil
son communicated with Secretary of
State Lansing and directed that all
possible haste be taken in obtaining
the facts concerning the sinking of
the vessel.
Preliminary reports of the sinking
by German submarines of the British
steamers Marina and Rowanmore,
partly manned by Americans, are too
incomplete to enable officials at the
state department to form an opinion
as to whether there had been a viola
tion of neutral rights or of pledges
given the United States by Germany.
Secretary Lansing declined to com
ment further than to admit that the
reports appeared more serious than
the usual routine dispatches announc
ing the destruction of belligerent
merchantmen, and that full informa
tion would be awaited with interest.

trade, said the English government
had acted throughout in closest con
cert with all the allies.

POLISH KINGDOM
HAS BEEN DEGREED
Provinces Occupied By Teuton Troops
Are Proclaimed Kingdom
Of Poland
PEOPLE TO NAME DELEGATES
New Constitution Will Be Framed By
A Body Of Poles To Be
Selected Later
Berlin. —Polish provinces occupied
by troops of the central powers,” says
a news agency, "were the scene of
a great and momentous historic event.
Germany and Austria-Hungary by
joint action, proclaimed Warsaw and
Lublin, the Kingdom of Poland, and
re-established the right of the Polish
nation to control its own destinies, to
live an independent national life and
to govern itself by chosen representa
tives of the nation.
A few days ago a Polish delegation
had called upon the imperial chancel
lor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. Its
members were representative Poles
of society and all creeds. They trans
mitted to the German government the
wishes of the Polish nation which now
have been granted to them.
“Thus the ancient kingdom of Po
land from which in the past came fa
mous rulers like the Jagellones (a
dynasty founded by Jagello) which
reigned in Poland from 1386 to 1572
and glorious soldiers like the great
Sobieski (John 111., King of Poland in
1674-1696) is now resurrected to new
life. The Poles are free from Russian
oppression, no more to be trodden un
der the heels of the Cossack. The
liberty that had been destroyed a cen
tury ago on Russian instigation now
is restored. The rule of the knout
has been abolished. Poland has been
given back to western civilization.”
The new constitution of Poland will
be framed by a body of Poles to be
selected later. It is understood that
the selection of these delegates will
be left entirely to the decision of the
people.
Autonomy For Galicia
Amsterdam. —Emperor Francis Jo
seph has addressed an autograph let
ter to Premir von Koerber, stating that
it is his will when the new state of
Poland comes into existence to grant
Galicia the right independently to
manage its own internal affairs. The
emperor charges Premier von Koer
ber to prepare measures for Ihe legal
realization of this command.
PARRAL IS ABANDONED BY
THE GEN. CARRANZA FORCES
Nothing Has Been Learned As To The
Fate Of Americans In
The City
El Paso, Texas. —Parral has been
abandoned by the Carranza garrison
under command of Gen. Luts Herrera,
according to passengers arriving in
Juarez by train from Chihuahua City.
Nothing could be learned, however, of
the Americans there, they said.
General Herrera was ordered to pro
ceed to Escalon, a station on the
Mexican Central railway, some dis
tance below Jiminez, as the bandits
still occupy Jiminez, according to the
passengers. Conditions were reported
rent in Chihuahua.
Four Americans arrived in Juarez
from Chihuahua City, but could add
nothing definite to the reports cur
rent in Chihuhahua.
Chihuahua City, Mexico.—General
Trevino said that as all telegraphic
communication was cut between Chi
huahua City and Parral, as well as to
points south of Chihuahua City, he
was unable to learn anything regard
ing Americans who had been in Par
ral. He said he would use every ef
fort at his command, however, to get
news of them as soon as communica
tion was improved.
30 Miners Perished In Explosion
Birmingham.—Thirty miners perish
ed in the Bessie mine disaster No
vember 4. Rescuers having recover
ed sixteen bodies, were checked by the
prevalence of black damp in the four
most remote entries, and fourteen min

entombed in the mine. The revised
list of the victims of the disaster shows
that eight white men and twenty-two
negro miners lost their lives.
Urges League To Keep World Peace
New York. —Theodore Marburg, for
mer United States minister to Bel
gium and who is now chairman of the
committee on foreign organization of
the League to Enforce Peace, in an
address here, dealt with a construct
ive scheme of world statesmanship to
be put into effect after the close of
the war. Mr. Marburg proposed that
former President Taft, who is the pres
ident of the League to Enforce Peace,
should be sent to Europe at once to
negotiate some plan of a joint guar
antee of peace.
Six Men Killed; Forty Are Wounded

trial Workers of the World, who came

rona. and a posse of 150 citizens. The
exact number of casualties aboard the

“Pancakes?” shouted another. “\\ y,
