PRESIDENT SPEAKS NEED OE KINDNESS SELF-POSSESSION IS THE SUPREME TEST OF A NATION'8 METAL. OPENING SESSION OF D. A. R. Mr. Wilson Urges The Congress of Daughters to Rally to the Cause of Righteousness. Washington.?The need of self-possession. calmness and a judicial temperament by the United States in the present world crisis was urged by President Wilson in a speech before 1"" lyt tho twpntv lilt? vycuiug ocoovvu vi va?v . .. ^ fourth Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The president said seW-possession was the supreme test of a nation's mettle, and urged the Congress to rally to the cause of righteousness, as ministered hy those who hold their minds quiet and Judge upon principle. Following the president's speech Ambassador Jusserand of France told the Congress that the United States had behaved in he European crisis so as to command the gratitude and thankfulness of the world. "We in France," he said, "have learned to know what the American heart is made of?the pure American gold that is in it. I am glad that I may affirm the thanks of France for the generosity of America?the neutral United States." The ambassador said the "chief question in the European Struggle." was the same problem that confronted America in revolutionary times. "We thought we had solved the problem of human liberty," he | said. "But it again confronts us. It will be solved now just as it was solved in former times, as it was solved in the trenches at Yorktown." The president in his speech declared that he could speak only in general terms and that ft was "indiscreet" for him to speak even in that way. John Hays Hammond. R. C. B. Thurston, president-general of the Sons of the Revolution and John Barrett, director-general of the Pan-Amenlcan Union also spoke. Jury For $50,000 Libel Suit ia Completed. Syracuse. N. Y.?The Jury which will try William Barnes' $50,000 suit for alleged libel, against Theodore Roosevelt was completed in Supreme court here. It comprises seven Republicans. three Progressives and two Democrats. Twenty-two talesmen were examined before both sides announced that they were satisfied with the 12 men in tht> box. The Jurymen are: Henry Hoag. clerk, Republican (foreman); Irving J. Mills, woodworker, Republican; Walter J. Zuill, manager, Republican; Franklin S. Rhoades, farmer. Progressive; Leonard K. Hungerford, painter. Progress ^ DAn.tK ive; r. w. fierce, caipcuici, lirpuulican; Warren H. Somers. grocer; Republican; Ray Tanner, farm hand, Democrat; John W. Brown, farmer, Republican; George Boschert, manufacturer. Progressive; Edward Burns, motorman. Republican; Peter Bencke, coal dealer. Democrat. Immediately after the jury had been completed, counsel for Colonel Roosevelt made a motion to dismiss the complaint against their client on the ground that allegations made in the statement on which the suit is based Mr. Barnes and Charles F. Murphy as were privileged and that in naming the controllers of "rotten government i n the state of New York, ho did not mean anything personal or to imply that either of the two men named had in any way profited by the alleged "rottenness." Abarno and Carbane Sentenced. New York.?Frank Abarno and Carmine Carbone, the anarchists who set a bomb in St. Patrick's Cathedral March 2, were sentenced to not less than six years nor more than 12 in Sing Sing. Abarno and Carbone were found guilty by a jury last week. Sharp Fighting Occurs. T A 1/-vr% rr V\ /-v OTVSNnt iiuuuuii.?ntiMU/ aiuuf, uic wcoi* ern battle line seems to partake of the nature of isolated engagements rather than a general offensive. Artillery duels have taken the place of hand-to-hand fighting, which has been the feature of the recent struggle along the Meuse and near the Lorraine border, but the latter type of combat continues in the Vosges, where the official statements agree sharp fighting is taking place on German territory. The French and Germans both claim success. Lifting Sunken Suomarine. Honolulu.?Efforts to raise the sunken submarine F-4 were delayed again to strengthen a minor defect of the drumholder of one of the scow pontoons.

BLOCKADE IS UNNECESSARY I Attorney General Simon Replies to / the Conference of Chemiet ar.d Engineers. London.?That cotton is kept from iermany and Austria just as effectively as if it were declared absolute ' contraband, is the tenor of a reply addressed by Attorney General Simon to a conference of chemists and engi- s neers who asked whether the Government's action was sufficient to make T it certain that no cotton reaches ] those countries. "The Attorney General ventures to ? suggest that those for whom you write may be under some misapprehension either as to the law of con- 1 traband or as to the steps which in fact are being taken under the order in council of March 11. The steps being taken under authority of that * order in council have been extremely effective in stopping cotton from reaching Germany and the declaration of cotton as contraband would not alter the result in the very least so far as preventing cotton reaching J Germany is concerned. "If an article is declared absolute contraband, it can be stopped from going to a German port and can be c stopped even from going to an adjoining neutral port, if it is in course of transit through that neutral port to an enemy country. These are exactly the circumstances in which, under the order in council any article can be stopped, whether it is contraband or not, and of course, this order in ? council is being p?t into force in all proper cases. > . "To imagine that since March 11 ^ anything can be gained so far as stopping the entrance of cotton into Germany is concerned by calling it * contraband is, in effect, to suppose that a blockade is rendered more ef- ^ fective if you add that specified contraband articles will not be allowed to break that blockade. A blockade j stops all articles whether they are f contraband or not, therefore any adwiiUM*. imMLJMrf A? afct practical consequences. What is true of Germany of course, is equally true of Austria. 1 "Your memorialists no doubt will ' readily believe that there may be good reasons of quite a different kind 5 for not making cotton contraband in 1 view of the precendent which- would ( thereby be created, but as a practical 1 matter in the present war any stoppage of cotton secured by calling it j contraband is equally secured by the order in council." GENERAL HERRERA KILLED. 1 f Killed by Own Men Who Mistook * Them For Villa Troops. 1 Laredo, Tex.?Gen.
