ON FIRST SPEAKING TRIP Assails Foreign Course and Mexican Proflram of President Wilson?Diplomatic Appointments Are Criticized. Detroit. Mich.?Charles E. HuRTies in the first set speech of his trans-continental trip assailed the administra- { Hon viHornnwlv for Its foreign nolicv. its Mexican policy, for appointing men who he termed nexperieneed to diplomatic posts and for what h9 charac- ; terized as a "raid upon the civil service of the United States." "He kept us out of war," Mr. Hughes said, referring to the president and a Domoeratic slogan. "Yet we seized Vera Cruz. That was war ?very ignoble war. And it was called war over the bodies of those dead soldiers; it was called a war of service. "Talk about what is your policy. "What is the president's policy?does any one. know? Has the executive ever had a policy for more than six months on the Mexican question? I repeat: Who knows today what the policy of the administration will be three months hence? The trouble is that this administration has written auch a record that no matter what it says you do no know whether it will stick to it. "We have had an exhibition during the past three years which I confess fills me with a deep sense of shame. I have not a particle of militaristic spirit in my system, but if I am elected presdent I will see to it that Amor- 1 lean rights in Mexico are respected." Mr. Hughes assallod the administration's course toward upholding AinerJcan rights abroad during the Eurojl poan war. . ' When I say that T am an American citizen," the nominee said, "I ought to say the proudest thing that any man can say in this world. But you can't have that pride If American citizenry Is a cheap thing. If It is not worthy of protection this wide world over. There is no man who could successfully present to an American communty the platform that an American citizen's rights stop at the coast lino and that heyond that American life Is to be the prey of any marauder that chooses to take it."

Captain Hinsch. i ' of the war-bound German liner Nec-j ; kar, who directed the departure of the 1 j submarine said that the underwater ; < freighter passed unobserved within one hundred yards of a United States destroyer on neutrality duty about a mile off the capes.

"When she came to the surface again. Captain Koenig came up through the conning towers and said that everything was working perfectly. That pleased us, I can tell you. We had thought we might have to rearrange some things, after it was seen how the Deutschland worked in salt water. The tests in the dock at Baltimore were made In fesh water, you know. "The trial completed we started off , down the bay and when no traffic was in sight the Deutschland took another dive while running. She went down until only a few inches of her peri- : s<-ope was showing above the water. Then I dropped behind to see at what : distance the wake of the Deutschland 1 or the foam crest of the periscope | could be seen. About 400 yards with : glasses I could not see a thing. "In the afternoon we started for ( I the capes and you know how the bet] ter part of the trip was made. The I destroyer was passed In the dark. As j soon as tno men on the bridge sight-I ed the lights of the Timmins they watched us closely and looked all around for the submarine which passed them at a distance of only a hundred yards.

Casement, convicted of conspiring J to cnuse an armed revolt in Ireland , , and with having sought German aid to that end, met his death with calm courage .according to witnesses, and j his last utterance was, "I die for my j country."
