ALLIES WILL WIN; WAR WILL NOT
END IN DRAW, SAYS LORD NEWTON
K By LORD NEWTON
X Drltlsh Undtr Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
LONDON, Aug. 1.
THE Great War will not bo a "drawn game." The Allies will surely win
tho reward of their sacrifices and those sacrifices will have been vain
unless there shajl result new world
conditions of comty and better un
derstanding. Entering the third year of the war
one is struck by the fact that con
temporary events irr Franco indicato
tho Allies effort, which until now
has been largely that of preparation,
will not result in the. depressing
state of equilibrium which some hnve
prophesied in using the metaphor
"a drawn game." Tho sacrifice of
our men and those of tho great
French republic nnd our other Allies
on scattered gigantic fronts will
quite assuredly win their rewnrd.
What is to be the reward of all
this sacrifice and effort?
It is not only punishment of the
guilty, or new hope for tho nations
that have been victims of the Cen
tral Powers; new hope for Belgium,
Serbia and , tho Armenians and
Syrians that those who planned such
deeds of violence will assuredly meet
just recompense; but beyond what
is to be- meted out there stands the
possibility of tho future, and our
sacrifice and effort will have been in
vain unless there shall arise from all
this bloodshed, new world conditions
in which action between Stato and
State is conducted in an at-
mosphero of better understanding, or, when mutual understanding fails,
the points at issue be decided moro under tho influence of tho principles of
justice.

Hughes Makes Declaration
for Suffrage Amendment
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, Re
publican candidate f or-Fresidont,
today declared himself in favor of
an amendment to the Constitution
granting women tho right to vote,
lie made his views known in a tele
gram answering an inquiry from
Senator George Sutherland, of Utah.
Mr. Hughes say3 that the pro
posed amendment should be submit
ted and ratified, that the question of
woman suffrage be removed from
political discussion. The text of his
message to Senator Sutherland fol
lows: ,
"Your telegram has been received.
In my answer to tho notification I
did not refer to tho proposed Fed
eral amendment relating to woman
suffrage, as this was not mentioned
in tho platform. I have no objection,
however, in stating my personal
views. As I said in, my speech, I
think it to be most desirable that
tho question of woman suffrage
should be settled promptly. The
question is of such a nature that
it should be settled for tho entire
country.
"My view is that tho proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified and the subject removed
from political discussion.
"Very sincerely yours,
"CHARLES EVANS HUGHES."

Hughes's "keynote" for the coming cam
paign pleased all Republicans today. Tarty
chiefs who assembled to hear the former
justice formally accept tho nomination last
night were unanimous in praising the
striking sentences with which the candidate
outlined the Issues on which the, O. O. P.
Is to start eviction proceedings against
Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic ma
jority in the Senate and HouBe.
The fact that 4000 men and women sat
for nearly three hours' in sweltering, sls
zllng heat iovhear the nominee break another
one of his famous silences in the meeting
at Carnegie Hall was tooked upon by
Republicans as auguring well for success in
November. Moreover, the same Bticky,
sweating auditors had enough enthusiasm
left ai the end of that 'session to cheer
Hughes vociferously. They would, have
lilted to have heard something from Colonel
Roosevelt, but the former Moose, "playing
"second .fiddle" at a political gathering
for the first time in a great many years,
hustled out of the hall.
A HARMONY SPEECH.
Hughes's speech pleased because in the
ylew of his friends he supported his har
mony plea with a selection of the issues
for the campaign which combine views of
Republican standpatters, Republican liber
als and Progressives. The "old liners"
were pleased with a ringing protection
declaration on the tariff; the liberals with
the labor, conservation' and administrative
efficiency sections in his upbraiding of the
Wilson Administration, and the Bull
Moosers with the "Americanism" creed, the
preparedness platform and the Mexican dis
cussion. Republicans and Democrats alike are
convinced that Hughes's principal -issue in
his fight against Wilson will be the Mexican
situation. The second offensive will be
bombardment along the lines of "adequate"
ureparedness and the tarift

but In the second he carelessly grooved a
fast ball for Heinle Zimmerman and he
promptly lifted the ball into deep center
field bleachers for a home run, sending the
Cubs off to a flying start.
Jimmy Lavender, who was batted out of
the box by the I'hllllcs in the second game
of Saturday's double-header, was given a
chance to redeem himself.

Cub machine which reigned supreme in the
National League from 1900 until 1910,

PBIOE ONE CENT
MAYOR FIRM
IN HIS DEMAND
FOR CLEAN CITY
He Appears' Before' Grand
Jury in Vice Raid
Probe
RETICENT ON TESTIMONY,
Schedule of Witnesses
for Today's Vice Probe
MAYOR SMITH took the stand
and explained police activities.
Members of Republican Commit
tees of Tenth, Thirteenth and Four
teenth Wards will testify today.
Magistrate Pennock to testify.
Superintendent Robinson to ex
plain his actions in ordering rein
statement of gambling machines.
Police lieutenants and detectives
to be questioned regarding vico con
ditions. Desire to havo a clean city and learn
who was actually responsible for the ex
istence of 'vice and gambling was exe'r
clifod by Mayor Smith today when he ap
peared before the Grand Jury In the vice
investigation.
On leaving the jury room he declined to
answer any questions relative to his tes
timony bofore the Grand Jury or to dis
cuss what bearing the inquiry now under
way might havo upon his own plans for
purifying municipal conditions.
It had been reported about City Hall to
day that tho Mayor, independently of the
police 'and Grand Jury, was conducting an
Investigation of charges that vice was per
mitted to flourish In certain parts of the
city.
Upon returning to his offlce from the
Grand Jury rooms the Mayor was asked
polntblank If this report wero true. He
refused dlroct reply. "It would be inop
portune for me to answer that question at
this tlmo," the Mayor responded.
"Will you regard any recommendations
the Grand Jury may make? It is looked
upon as probable that the dismissal of
Superintendent Itoblnson will be asked,"
was suggested.
"It would bo discourteous for me to make
any statement at this time, or to discuss
any question or answer forming part of my
testimony whe before the Grand Jury,1?
replied, the. Mayor. "It is my serious Inten
tion to get fo the bottom of' facta In this
matter, but t regard it as a discourtesy t
tho Grand Jury to do or say anything la
connection with its (proceedings until the
jury Itself has acted.
It Is understood that tho Grand Jury has
traced the responsibility in several Instances
for conditions In the Tenderloin, and It Is
believed- that the Jurymen can end their
work this week by holding night sessions.
Permission to do this has been granted
by Judge Rogers and the Jurors are now
considering the advisability of working
overtime in order to clean up the investiga
tion and have their presentment ready this
week. ' .
The appearance of the Mayor and nu
merouaward leaders and division workers
of the Tenderloin, who will fojlow him to
day In the vice investigation, attracted aa
Immense crowd to City Hall.
Those who control the divisions In this
district, small-fry political workers and
others whose faces are familiar In the cen
tral police courts are waiting anxiously to
hear the outcome of today's session, which
promises to be the most .strenuous of any
held so far. ,
Many were apparently worried by the
Mayor's announcement that he wanted the
truth no matter whom It hurt or com
mended. That there will be general show
down and a laying of cards on-the table
Is the prediction of those who have bee
watching the developments closely.
MAYOU CONFERS WITH ROTAN.
Before entering the Jury room the Mayor?
held a lengthy conference with District At
torney Rotan. The latter accompanied him
before the Jury. It was noticed that the
Mayor carried a large bXuidle of papers,
many of which, it is said, were reports at.
the various Tenderloin police stations.
Politicians who profess to know pre
dicted that the investigation would end Fri
day, and that many concerned would be let
dieted that the Investigation would be le
down easily, Their prediction is based on
yesterday's alibis made by Police Super
intendent Robinson concerning the return of
slot machines which had been returned by
the police and the declaration of Captain
McFadden that Robinson was not to blame
for the delay In Issuing -gry-jjL fw V
gamblers. t-., 2v
Robinson Is expected to go onwSMtl
today and will explain. It Is said, that the
lot machines seized In the house on Ridge
avenue were returned because their owner
had not used them In the last four years,
DesDlte this expected ailbl, however. It,
is pointed out by those who have beea
following the probe that there is a law
which provides that the police shall retain
possession of all gambling paraphernalia
found In a place and selxe such game or
device with or without warrant and arrest
without warrant any person settinjr up
such a game.
This law shows. It is contended, that
there was no ntceaslty f8r warrants la
the Ridge avenue case nor any Vxcui forT ;
