WASHINGTON', Oct. lC.-That the de

maintenance of democracy In Kurope Is
the subMnnce of manifestoes Issued by tht
labor party group In the British Parlia
ment as reported to the British Kmbassy
ncio today In a cablegram from flic For
eign Ofllco nt London. The labor party
announces Its determination to .support
the Government during the war.
Tho dispatch reads:
"A manifesto has been Issued, entitled
'Thu British Labor Movement nnd the
War,' which has been signed by labor
members of Paillamcnt and leaders of
the labor movement. It declares false
sti foments have been made In various
counttlcs regarding the attitude of labor
towards the war.
"The labor leaders say that they always
hoped for peace, but their hope has been
destroyed by the Kaiser. Concerning Ger
many's wanton violation of Belgian neu
trality they recognize that Britain after
exhausting the resources of peaceful
diplomacy, was bound In honor and by
treaty to resist German aggression. The
victory of Germany would mean the
death of democracy In Kurope. Conse
quently the labor party supports the Brit
ish Government. Until Germany Is beaten
there can be no peace.
"Tho president of the local govern
ment board states that fears of wide
spread dislocation of trade have proved
unfounded and with fow exceptions, un
employment Is very much less Berlous
than was anticipated. Many districts re
port trade experiencing a distinct revival.
"Tho German paper, A'oerwnrta, states
that hundreds of thousands In Germany
nre without work and dependent upon
charity. Winter will Increase enormously
tho number and misery of the un
employed.

"THE HANDS OF ESAU"
In this issue of the Evening
Ledger, on the Editorial Page, is
printed the sixth article of the
series dealing with political condi
tions in Philadelphia. Today's
topic is
THE MAGISTRATES
It shows how ward leaders, as
members of the minor judiciary,
bring their courts into disrepute;
and it points out the remedy for a
deplorable condition of affairs.
The remarkable workings of tho hand
of "deathbed Insurance" swindlers, who
have been operating extensively In Phil-
dclphla, Pittsburgh and other large
cities, aro slowly being cleared up, ac
cording to George II. Calveit, an attor
ney, who Is handling the ease for tho
State Insurance Department, and Inspec
tor D. 'B. Huiilhan, who returned to this
city today after several days spent In
Investigating tho ramifications of the
ronsplincy In Pittsburgh. Important ar
rests here may bo mude within the net
4S hours.
"Tho whole cojispliacy Is gradually be
ing brought to light," Mr. Calvin t said.
"Wo have been forced to gather evidence
by piecemeal, but have progiessed far
enough to say that a most gigantic insur
ance dwindle was well under way before
It was discovered. Tor the present we
must withhold from the public the mass
of evidence we have secured, otherwise
tho ends of Justice might bo defeated In
seveiul waa."
Mrs. Bertha Epstein, of Pittsburgh,
one of those nnt'sted in connection with
the case, has beun ill for years, has
not been able to leave her home for two
yeurs and jet has been Insured for $10,000
In two companies. Other applications
were unsuccessful, It was said. The
woman, who siMks mi llngllsh and who
never signs her name, Is believed to
have no knowledge that she was being
Insured, und they say she was blng
used nb one of the dupes. Applications
In htr name to tho amount of JI0O.0W
had been nude to 12 different companies,

room and recreation room, and a chape;
for religious services or lectures.

any religious service peculiar to any
church be held All the girls are tp huve

carefully instructed In the fundamental
doctrines of Christianity.

a superintendent, a senior matron, a gov
erness or house matron, in charge of each
cottage, and one teacher for every 25

away by the recent decision of the Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania, it Is now
merely a matter of detail to arrange for
the establishment of the Institution. In
accordance with Mr. Carson's directions,
the college will be located upon his coun
try estate, known as "Erdenhelm," at
Chestnut Hill, on a tract to contain no
fewer than 50 or more than 100 acres.
The trustees have already set aside a
tract of 8' acres on the estate, and will
as soon as possible proceed with the
execution of the trust. Mr. Carson's
estate is ample to provide a sufficient In
come for the maintenance of the college.

w LONDON, Oct. 16.
Tho British cruiser Havvko has been
sunk In the North Sea by a German sub
marine In a daring raid from the German
coast.
Tho Admiralty, In mnklng Its announce
ment of the sinking of the Hawke, mid:
"His Majesty's ship Theseus, Captain
Hugh Edward, wns attacked by a sub
marine In tho northern waters of the
North Sen yesterday afternoon, but was
missed. Ills Majesty's ship Hawke, Cap
tain M. P. Williams, was attacked about
tho same time and sunk. The following
otlicers, with Vj men of the crew, have
been landed at Aberdeen from u trawler:
Boatswain, Sydney Austin: gunner, Jnmes
Dennis, and acting gunner, Harry Evltt."
The loss of tho Hawke makes a totnl
of six British warships sunk In the North
Sea since the war began.
All of those who were rescued have
been landed nt Aberdeen. It is reported
that main of thu mare in n aorinii -n.
union as mo result of exposure.
The Hnwke, Theseus and Gibraltar, sis
ter cruisers, were engaged on the patrol
when the attack was made Tho fltst
torpedo was launched against the The
seus, but it Is reported that It missed
Ita mark. The submarine Immediately
dived, and the cruisers, with their guns
manned, stood by watching for her to rise.
It Is not yet known whether the crew of
tho Hawko saw the destroyer rise to
tho xurface, but she must have been In
close, because her torpedo simply stint-
imvu me. uonmeu cruiser.
Recuuse of Admiralty orders that com-
manners oj warsnips. In cases of sub
marine attacks, must consider that their
first duty is to their own ship, no at
tempt wns made by the other cruisers to
go to the rescue of the crew of the
Hawke. and to this Is nttilbuted the
great loss of life among the complement
of the sunken vestel. Instead thev pa
trol cruisers Inci eased their speed away,
while their look-outs were posted to
watch for the German craft. It was not
until It was absolutely certain that there
was no danger of further attack that
tho Theseus steamed to where the wreck
age from tho Hawke was drifting on the
surface.

Reported in Ostend.
Allied forces liave fought their way from Ypres, in Belgium, to tho
coast. The extension of this line blocks any sudden flanking move by tho
Germans along the Channel coast.
A German submarine sank the British light cruiser Hawtfe in the North
Sea and the reported loss of its complement is 500 men. The British
Admiralty admits the loss of the Hawke, which was doing patrol duty,
guarding the German warships anchored in ports along the German coast.
The Hawke was of the older type of cruiser.
German armies in Belgium and northwestern France are fighting des
perately to stop the advance of the Allies.
The Germans have lost some ground along the line from Arras to
Ypres, but they withdrew to stronger positions where fighting has been
resumed.
The Allies are on the offensive along the entire line, except at the
centre, and arc reported to have occupied Alkirch, in Alsace, and to be
moving on Mulhauscn again.
Dispatches from London state that when the last refugee ship left Ostend
yesterday, Uhlans were seen in the outskirts of the city. The general belief
is that Ostend has been taken by the Germans.
Reports from Paris say the French and British have taken 50,000 pris
oners in the last week.
German forces have been hurled back from Warsaw after reaching
outposts seven miles from the city, according to the Russian War Office,
The Czar's troops forced the enemy back to Kielce d Lodz by a fresh
offensive. In Galicia Russian arms are meeting constant success, and the
fall of Przemyst is declared imminent. In East Prussia the Russian advance
continues.
Berlin contradicts all reports of Russiali success in Poland and East
Prussia, and states that the forward movement of the Kaiser's force is
progressing actively. Lyck has been retaken in the north, according to
German official advices.
The United States ordered the Marconi wireless station closed pending
a satisfactory explanation of alleged unneutral messages. It is stated that
the station aided the Allies' ships by disclosing the whereabouts of a German
warship.
Japanese and British warships continued a fierce bombardment of tho
Tsing-Tao fortresses. Aeroplanes dropped bombs m the litis fort and
silenced some of its batteries. One British seaman was killed by the fire
from the German fort.
British loyalists met and defeated a small band of Boer revolutionist!
in South Africa in the first encounter of the new movement. Eighty pris

German residents of Portugal continue in flight from that country fearing

PARIS. Oct. 16.
Germany is planning the sacrifice of

ization of this enme this afternoon,
when the War Office announced that
the Allies' line now extends from
Ypres to the sea. This new line. In

When they arrive they will lint the
Allies ready for them. Strongly In
trenched positions have been taken up
and the line of battle, extending east
ward from a point on the North Sea
between Dunkirk and the Helglan
frontier to Ypres and then in a curv
ing formation southward across the
Somme to the Oise and the Alsne, and
again eastward across France, is one

It is no secret in military circles that
Important developments are taking
place on the right of the centre and on
the French right. The French are
making a desperate effort to break the
German line' here and there is a grow.
Ing belief thut they will succeed. The
Germans have been driven back by the
French troops that have assumed the
offensive from the Toul p d Nancy
garrison centres, and there is a strong
possibility that German communlca,-
tions between Metz and the Meuse will
be interrupted.
The official statement follows:
