SWEDISH STEAMER EMMA
AND DANISH BOATS SUNK
Special to The Time* By Associated Press.
LONDON, July 28.—Gorman submarines are
« ontinuing their activity in the North Sea, and have
attacked more ships the last two days than in any
previous period of time. This afternoon the Swedish
steamer Emma, and three Danish schooners were
torpedoed and sunk, apparently on the supposition
t iat their cargoes were contraband. The crews of
all the vessels were allowed to quit their ships before
the torpedo was fired.
July 28.—A German submarine sank
two British trawlers in the North Sea today. The
crews of both vessels were given time to take to the
small boats before the ships were destroyed, and all
lives were saved.
ADVISESlERMANriiKE
FAVORABLE ANSWER U. S.
Special to The Times By Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, Jul v 28.—The Cologne Gazette,
one of the leading journals of Germany, and at times
supposed to speak with an official intonation, today
published a dispatch from Washington, suggesting
that Germany should not reply to the last American
note on the submarine warfare, unless the Fieri in
foreign office was able to give a favorable answer.
The purpose of not replying is to avoid further
exciting American public opinion, and perhaps
thereby, forcing the administration to take drastic
action. The Gazette, in commenting editorially on
the dispatch, endorses tin* view of the1 correspondent
and says that it considers the advice well worth con
sideration. /v
PREMIER ASQUITH SAFS
ALLIES WILE SURELY WIN
Special to The Times By Associated Press.
LONDON, July 28.—Premier Herbert Asquith
made a notable speech in the House of Commons
today, on the war situation, which was received with
quiet attention by tlie members, and which served to
impress upon them the seriousness of the present
crisis, and' the life or death nature that the present
war had assumed for the British empire. The
address was never once interrupted by applause,
even when the premier said that the allies would be
surely victorious. He asserted that the war had
become and from now on would continue to be a
contest of endurance.
ENGLAND TO MOBILE
ILL OF HER PHYSICIANS
LONDON, July 28.—A “mobilization” of all
the doctors in England is being talked of bore. The
dearth of qualified physicians and surgeons owing
to the large numbers taken for war work, has
reached such a stage that officers of the Medical
Council believe that some sort of an organization of
the profession on a war footing will be necessary,
especially as the public health is at the present
moment a matter of special importance.
The question of rearranging the work of tlfe
doctors to meet both the military and’ civil demands
is admittedly a difficult one. Neither doctors nor
patients are likely to be pleased with any possible
method of dividing up private medical work along
what might perhaps be called “efficiency” lines.
Many physicians, especially in the crowded
parts of the cities, are already as busy as they can
be, and probably in these cases no readjustment
would be advisable, but there are lnrge numbers of
practitioners in the suburban and country districts
who could be advantageously placed in sections
where special need is felt. If this involves heavy
loss to them, it may be possible to arrange for gov
eminent compensation.
COWARD HIS SENTENCE .
QUASHED BT HEROISM]
LONDON, July 28.—The story of a convicted
coward who tourned hero during the fighting around
Ypres is told by Professor J. H. Morgan, who spent
five months at British headquarters and' whose
investigations were summed up in the Bryce report
on German atrocities. He has just returned to
London. He says:
“There was a sergeant who had lost his nerve
and had been sentenced by court martial to five
years’ penal servitude for cowardice. Before the
sentence could be carried out the Prussian Guard
made their famous attempt to break through our
line, and the sergeant, in the fighting which ensued,
fought with such bravery that but for being nomi
nally under arrest at the time, he would' have been
awarded the Victoria Cross. As it was, his sentence
was quashed, and the incident was responsible for
the passage of a new act of parliament, by which a
sentence on a soldier may be suspended anil the man
given an opportunity of redeeming his character.”

crops Incart affected
or CONTINUED DROUGHT
BUDAPEST, Hungary, July 28.—The dry
weather that has been the rule in nearly all Europe
since the first of May has not affected the crops in
Hungary, according to an announcement by the
minister of agriculture. He reports that the condi
tion of the winter wheat and rye is increasingly
better, and that the drouth has caused but little
deterioration in the summer crops. Maize has bet
tered in fact, and the barley and oats are doing well.
Potatoes and sugar beets are well along. There is
every prospect of a big crop of beans and similar
vegetables. Rain nevertheless is a very desirable
commodity, not only in Hungary but in every other
part of Europe.
