Circulars have hren freely clrcu
Inted In North Carolina. In fact. It Is
said, nearer every delegate to both
the Republican and Progressive con
^ei^UoA at Chicago last June has
been furnished a copy of the circular
and been urged to give his views now
and praparo'for the biggest political
battle ?$Ve r pulled off for 19S0.
The circular calls the Chicago con
vention a "miserable mess" and de
clares Taft was "stupid" when he re
fused to enact such Progressive leg
islation as the "child labor law," and
the "federal reserve act." Wilson,
the circular says. Is no more of a
progressive than Taft, but that ho la

WASHINGTON. ? The destruction
of the great British hospital ship.
Brlttanlc, Berlously threatens to en
ter Into the tangle of possible sub
marine complications between the
United States and Germany. The re
ported presenco of American sur
geons aboard the vessel renders the
case one for serious reflection and
poaalbly serious action. '
The Brlttanlc case, taken in con
nection with others, may show trans
gression on the part of Germany re
garding the plodges that were made
early this year. On the other hand,
the ease may be taken merely as an
Indication of the way the German
war wind la blowing.
Under the rules of the Genoa con
ventlon. hospital Bhips are Immunis
ed from attack. Subsequent changes
do not effect this status of ships en
gaged In errands of mercy. Hence,
If American surgeons wera aboard
the Brlttanlc, they were entitled to
safety under the law. The case will
be added to the list of submarine
cases now being probed.
