Winston Spencer Churchill Believes Offensive Action Alone Will End Submarine.

Warfare. BY MIL.TOX BROXXER. Washington, Jujy 15 If the German submarine menace cannot be conquered any other way, then the allied fleets will have to take all risks and seek to destroy the submarine nests at Zee-brugge and Ostend in Belgium, and Heligoland and Kiel In Germany. This stupendous program often discussed in an academic way by naval officers here. Is now being talked of seriously, following cabled accounts of an article by Winston Spencer Churchill, former first lord of the British admiralty.

Churchill said that with the entry of America into the war the allied navies now have two dreadnaughts for every one of the Teutons, and four old battleships for every one of the enemy. He recognized the necessity of preserving intact a vast fleet ready to meet the German high seas fleet if it comes out to do battle. But he added there would still remain a tremendous number of battleships, which should be used to go in and get the enemy, as only by aggressive, instead of waiting, naval warfare, will the allies be able to find the weakness of the Germans and learn eome way of ending the submarine menace.

SUNDAY LABOR LAW INTERFERES Complaint Made to the State Labor Commissioner Brings Wholesale Arrests, but Hinders Work but Little.

You will have to etlr out of bed early to beat Mr. Modern Grocery-man. At midnight last night, seven hours before the average Topekan hearkens to the call of breakfast and his Job, elxty employes of the Dibble Grocery company were hard at work. They were moving the stock and fixtures into the big new building, corner of Sixth and Qulncy street. Incidentally they were having their little Joke with the "Sunday labor law." Consult Official.

A grocery business that supplies probably one-sixth of Topeka with eating material has no spare time for moving so it was planned to employ the time-honored custom of store moving and do the work on Sunday. Members of the firm had consulted with the mayor and were under the impression that there were no legal obstacles to such a plan and yesterday they started a force of sixty employes on the Herculean Job. But here Mr. Anonymous got in his work. He had complained to Paul J.

McBride, state labor commissioner, and under the circumstanqes he was forced to act. While the sixty employes were hard at work Mr. McBride and J. E. "Wilson, chief of police, appeared on the scene and "arrested" the entire force, Including employes and employers.

Report at Midnight. But Mr. Modern Grocer carries also a stock of resourcefulness along with his canned goods and staples. "Report at midnight tonight," was the order given by Ivan Dibble, as Labor Commissioner McBride ordered the men to "move on" and "stop moving." By o'clock this morning the last can and package had been installed on the shelves of its new home, the telephone exchange was in working order and the refrigerator, the largest in Topeka, outside of the wholesale houses, was ready for the demands of the local housewife. If One Overlooked.

Xot only the names of the employes and Ivan Dibble and D. M. Dibble, partners in the concern, appeared on the police blotter, but also the names of Mrs. Ivan Dibble, Mrs. D.

M. Dibble and Mrs. Bruce McFarland, who were standing by giving expert housewifely advice on "moving." The Dibble company and employes confess membershlD to the W. only the letters are interpreted as meaning "I Will Roy Petro, local representative for the Iten Biscuit company, who, as a matter of business was assisting the company in moving, was also "arrested." Complaint Made Saturday. An anonymous complaint that the Dibbles planned to use Sunday as moving day was made to McBride Saturday and he warned the Dibbles at that time, it is said.

Sunday morning the Dibbles consulted with Hugh T. Fisher, assistant county attorney, concerning their proposed moving. He informed them it was against the law. However at 2 o'clock in the afternoon they had sixty employes busy. Then McBride appeared on the scene and the work stopped.

To make the proceedings less expensive the and their fifty-odd employes will be for violations of the city ordinance, which Is practically the same as the state law, in police court tomorrow afternoon. Will be Tried Under Ordinance. Under the ordinance the employe is as liable as the- employer for Sunday working, the ordinance providing a fine of from $2 to $25. The Topeka arrest is of the same nature pulled off recentliy in the Eureka oil fields, when a large number of oil men and 'employes were arrested for Sunday labor, and fined. The names of the employes on the police blotter include the folowing: L.

It is admitted that such a fleet would have to face big nests of mines, submarines and powerful land fortifications, and that the losses to the allies would probably be very large, judging by the results when the allied navies attacked the Turkish forts at the Dardanelles. It is believed, however, one immediate result would be to compel the Germans to man fully all their coast fortifications and tie up many artillerymen and much big gun ammunition. It is hard to get navy men to talk about the project, altho their belief in general is that if the strength of the allied fleets were to go against Germany there would be as good as an even chance of breaking up the submarine bases. Secretary of the Navy Daniels hovered about the question the other day when he said a navy cannot invite annihilation by going into mined harbors, and ships can; do little against 14-inch coast fortifications. Then he added, when an attack on Kiel was suggested: "There is more than one way to kill a cat.

No place is Impregnable. Nothing is Impossible." The only absolute pessimist on the Churchill plan I have found in Washington was a naval officer attached to the Italian mission. He pointed out that even if a fleet were able to destroy the submarine nests, the. relief would only be temporary, because Zeebrugge. Ostend and Kiel are all within the German lines and it would be almost impossible to land an adequate army to hold them.

INSURANCE MEN HONOR THE WORK OF S. J. BICE "The year 1917 is the climax year for the insurance business In the United States. It is even more markedly so in the west," J. H.

AUTOMOBILE BUMPS BEAR ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY Redding, July 15. "Beware of bears!" is a sign that seems appropriate for the state highway in the neighborhood of Sims. As Robert O'Donnell. secretary of the Northern California Counties association, and C. Fred Smith, secretary of the Shasta County Development association, were autoing along south of Sims a big cinnamon bear jumped down from a bump above them and lit squarely In the road In front of them.

The automobile bumped the bear off the highway. The autolsts sped on as the bear rolled down the mountain side toward the river. All alike were frightened.

FIGHTING FOR ECONOMICAL PEACE Reichstag's Proposed Peace Resolution Declares United German Nation Cannot. Be Conquered. Copenhagen.

July 15. The reichs tag's proposed peace resolution according to the Berlin Tageblatt, the majority block of the center, radicals and Socialists decided Friday evening to introduce unchanged upon the reassembling of the reads: "As on August 14, 1914. soon the threshold of the fourth year of the war, the German people stands upon the assurance of the speech from the throne 'We are driven by no lust of "Germany took up arms in defense of its liberty and independence and for the integrility and for its territories the reichstag labors for peace and mutual understanding and lasting reconciliation among the nations. Forced acquisitions of. territory and political, economic and financial violations are incompatible with such a peace.

"The reichstag rejects all plans aiming at an economical blockade and the stirring' up of enmity -among the peoples after the war. The freedom of the seas must be assured. Only an economical peace can prepare the ground for the friendly association of the peoples. "The reichstag' will energetically promote the creation of international judicial organizations. So long however, as the enemy governments do not accept 8uch a peace; so long as they threaten Germany and her allies with conquest and violation, the German people will stand together as one man, hold out unshaken and fight until the rights of itself -and Its allies to life and development are secured.

"The German nation united is unconquerable. "The, reichstag knows that in this announcement it is alone with the men who are defending the Fatherland; in the heroic struggles they are sure of the undying thanks of the whole people." PARIS SEES CRISIS IH GERMANY Mistakes Made by Bethmann-Hollweg at Beginning of War, However, Cause for Dismissal. Paris, July 15. The Paris press hears the retirement of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg from the German chancellorship with varying degrees of satisfaction.

Some comment is jubilant, others sober, all however, agree that it Indicated a crisis in Germany of unprecedented importance. "The phrase 'scrap of paper frequently crops out in the comment and some journals trace the chancellor's downfall back to early In the war utterance of his. The Petit Parisian says: "Tho the chancellor changes, German masters remain the same. It is they and not the retiring functionary who desire the war, to satisfy their appetite for, universal domination. In what measure may they have changed their minds? Are they capable of speaking now for peace? In such measure as they realize victory has escaped them and defeat Is approaching.

In such measure as the intolerance sufferings of their hungry peoples are growing. "Bethmann-Hollweg is being dismissed because of his declarations and mistakes at the beginning of the war. but his successor will be no less bound by his acts and words than was this docile functionary who never. dared to take the Initiative. Bethmann-Hollweg would never have been disavowed had the hopes of his masters been realized by victory.

He who gets his portfolio will Inherit the same difficulties. SAXON'Y TO MIUTE COAL. The Hague. Netherlands. July 15.
