WAPIiKt.TON, May 14. The note
sent to Germany yesterday by the
United States Government as a sequel
to the Lusltanla disaster was delayed
In transmission because of congested
cables and probably will not be pre- j
rented by Ambassador Gerard to tne
Minister of Foreign Affairs in Berlin
until some time tomorrow.
Secretary Bryan received a message
from Ambassador Thomas Nelson
Page at Rome saying the note, which
had been addressed to the American
F.mbassy there to bo forwarded by tel
egraph, hud arrived at 2 r. M. today
and that in an hour and 40 minutes
it had been copied and relayed to Ber
lin by telegraph via Vienna.
Cipher In t'aune of Delay.
The reason for the delay was not
given, but State Department messages
have frequently been held up in their
circuitous routes because they are In
code and require careful sending to
assure accuracy of the cipher groups.
Tho note had been sent over the
French cable from New Tork to Havre
and thence by telegraph through
France to the American Kmbussy at
Home.
Inasmuch es it may require a few
hour's to decipher the note, it was be
lieved by State Department officials
that it would not be ready for pre
sentation until late today, and unless
Ambassador Geiard had arranged a
special engagement with the Foreign
Minister it probably would not be read
to Mr. von Jagow until tomorrow.
Wilson (iratcful for Support.
Official Washington talked of little
else than the note today. The prac
tically unanimous approval given it in
the editorial comment of the American
press, the statements of Governors,
Senators and members of the House
were reinforced by an incessant stream
of messages from persona of .every po
litical party and from a variety of
organizations and associations. Presi
dent Wilson told his callers he was
deeply grateful and appreciated the pa
triotic support that was being given
him on every side.
The President appeared somewhat
relieved of the strain of the last week.
This v us due to the fact that there
probably would bo no further develop
ment tu the situation until some Inti
mation came from Ambassador Gerard
s to how the officials of the German
government Informally rrarded the
tone and requests of the note.
The '"resident went away tonight on
his yacht, the Mayflower, with mem
bers of his family for a quiet trip to
Kcw York, where he will review the
Atlantic fleet.
Allien anil !rutrnlN Approve.
In diplomatic quarters there was
wide discussion of the note to Ger
many. Amons representatives of the
allied powers the document was ap
proved, as well as by neutral envoys,
many of whom obtained copies from
the State Department. , The German
Kmbassy the one place where it was
natural to look for tSni; inkling or
Intimation of what Germany's position
would lie remained silent.
Count von Liernstorf f, the German
Ambassador, in fuel called on Secretary
l'.iyan with the express purpose of
warning him that none of the pub
lished stories were true which pur
ported to give anonymous views of
members of the Kinha.ssy staff to the
effect that Germany would refuse to
meet the American note's suggestions.
He asked the co-operation of the State
Department to prevent the spread of
thi4 misinformation, and Mr. Bryan
made immediate announcement of the
request.
The German Ambassador told inquir
ers later that lie knew absolutely noth
ing of the position of his government,
because he had received no communica
tion and naturally would not until
the note Itself had been presented, lie
declined to discuss his own views for
publication.
Von Hernstorff Reported IMeaKctt.
Some of his friends Indicated later
that the A nidassador was pleased with
the friendly tone of the note and was
himself hopeful and confident that the
Curst Ions in dispute could be satisfac
torily settled through diplomacy.
In all iiuarters It was believed Ger
many would not delay her reply, but
that high officials of the German gov
ernment would take It under immediate
consideration when it arrived in Ber
lin. The belief was held by well-informed
Kuropean diplomats that Ger
many would consider carefully the mil
itary advantages of continued attacks
on enemy merchant ships and probably
would consent to abandon them only
If food supply were in some way guar
anteed, as German confidence Is strong
that the allies can bo kept at bay in
th eastern and western theaters of
r indefinitely.
The effect on Germany's position of
tiie possible entry of Jtaly into the
war, however, is another factor which
naiiiod diplomats think will iVo. taken

nOMK. May 14. News that King Vic

Salandra's resignation, and that Kalan
dra and Daron Sonnino, the Foreign
Minister, will remain In power, Is
spreading like wildfire throughout Home
and creating an excellent Impression.
Premier Salandra lias convoked a

The Cabinet met today and immedi
ately thereafter Premier Salandra vis

given out concerning the meeting of
the Cabinet, sessions of which are now
being held daily.
The Tribuna, which is regarded as
the organ of ex-Premier Giolitti, says
that undoubtedly the Cabinet did not
take Into consideration that It was able
to command a majority in Parliament
only on account of the support given
by Signor Giolitti.
Owing to this fact, the Tribuna as
serts, Signor Giolitti is entitled to be
informed of the progress of negotia

newspaper expresses the hope that
some agreement will be reached be
fore the reopening of Parliament' so
that the members of that body may be
able to give united support to the gov

of Italy set forth that the receipt of
the news of the resignation" of the
Cabinet yesterday produced an extra
ordinary sensation. Observers in Rome
deduce from the occurrence that a
large majority of the people are In
favor of a policy of hostility against
Austria.

BY JOHN CALLAX O'LAl'QHLIN,
WASHINGTON, May U. (Special.)
President Wilson and bis Cabinet are
giving serious consideration to a pro
posal to call a congress of neutral na
tions for the purpose of securing gen
eral acquiescence in the principle that
submarines shall not operate against
merchantile craft.
In other words, it is desired to write
this Important declaration of human
rigiits into international law. Should
Gecmany comply with the President's
requirement in this respect. Great Bri
tain, Russia and France will be urged
to subscribe their adherence to the doc
trine. If the efforts of the Administra
tion are successful, one of the greatest
modern menaces to merchant vessels
and their passengers and crews will
be removed.
Kverythlns; Depends on Berlin.
There Is a movement also to forbid
the use of aeroplanes against merchant
ships. If the congress of neutrals
should be held, unquestionably this
prohibition will be urged and ' the
belligerents will be asked to agree to
It.
Of course, what the President con
templates will not be accomplished if
Germany should decline to comply with
the American demands. Everything,
therefore, depends on Berlin. The Ad
ministration hopes, in view of the
seriousness of the situation, and espe
cially, of the President's declaration
that the United States will not omit
"any word or any act necessary to the
performance of its sacred duty," that
the demands on Germany will be con
sidered, not by the-German Foreign
Office, which Is absolutely controlled
by the military and naval staffs, but
by the Emperor himself.
Reliance Placed In Kaiser.
There is an expectation that His
Majesty will realize the position his
country will find itself in if hj should
refuse to comply with the American
demands. He must understand that in
such case he will have to oppose not
only his present enemies and the
United States, but the entire neutral
world.

Friday's War Moves
THE American note to Germany and
the new turn which the Italian situa
tion has taken by reason of the resig
nation of Premier Salandra and his
Cabinet are the features of yesterday s
war news.
The firm attitude which the Ameri
can Government has taken with regard
to Germany's submarine action against
her ships and citizens meets with gen
eral approval in London, and the ques
tion now is not "what the United
States will do" but "what will Ger
many's answer be?" It is believed In
high official circles in Great Britain
that Germany will not agree to reverse
her submarine blockade policy, and thi
conclusion Is drawn that the United
Statts will be compelled to sever dip
lomatic relations with her.
The hope is everywhere expressed
that the United States will not be
drawn into the war, as it is considered
that she is of greater assistance to the
allies as a neutral than she would be
as a belligerent.
The Italian situation is badly con
fused. The resignation of Premier Sa
landra's Cabinet, it is believed, must
delay Italy's action with regard to the
war, and it is thought that nothing in
this respect will be decided upon until
the Chamber of Deputies meets next
week, unless in the meantime King
Victor Emmanuel induces the govern
ment to retain office, which step the
Premier might take as assurance of t
people's confidence in his policy.
Meanwhile the belligerents on both
the east and west battlo fronts are en
gaged in most momentous battles. The
French, who already have gained pos
session of what were thought to be im
pregnable German positions to the
north of Arras, are reported to be con
tinuing their victorious advance, while
the British are asserted to be holding
a large force of Germans in their front
and repulsing all German attempts to
reach Ypres, which has proved the
graveyard of so many thousands of men
since the opposing lines were estab
lished last Autumn.
The Germans say they have made a
slight advance. Along toward the
coast the Belgian army has repulsed
an attempt of the Jermana to regain
the bridge head which the forces of
King Albert established on the right
bank of the Yser Canal, while down
in the Woevre another French army is
pushing its offensive and asserts that
it has gained possession of the whole
of the forest of Le Petre, which would
be a step nearer In the allies' aim to
force the Germans to evacuate St.
MihieL
Tlie Austro-Germans. u.f tor their
lightning-like rush through Webtern
Galicia, have now reached a line run
ning due north and mini i to the west
of Przemysl. while the other armies,
emerging from the Carpathians, are
pressing the Russ'-mi flank. Kven up
In Poland it is asserted that the vic
tory of t'' Teutonic allies 'n the south
has had the effect c. forcing the Rus
sians to fall back.
Petrograd, however, continues to
take the situation calmly, and although
admitting that the Russian army has
been forced back by overwhelming
numbers and has lost heavily in the
retirement, says the Russians are now
concentrating on a new lino and pre
paring for another big battle.
.Until this battle is decided British
military critics are withholding their
comment. It Is pointed out by some of
them, however, that more than once
the Russians have been driven back,
but that they always recovered and
made the victors regret their pene
tration into Russian territory.
Down in Southeastern Galicia and ill
Bukowina, according to Russian ac
counts, the Austrian army, which here
has not the assistance of the Germans,
is in full retreat und being harried by
Russian' cavalry. The Russians say
they have obtained the advantage over
the German raiders In the Baltic prov
ince and to have taken a thousand pris
oners near Shavli.
There la no official report from the
Dardanelles, but unofficial news is to
the effect that the allies are slowly ad
vancing, despite the obstinate resist
ance of the Turks, against the heights
commanding Krithia, on one hand, and
Kllid Bahr and Maldos. on tho other.

Kilicctcd to Ho Adopted.
I;Y KLMTIl KNIGHT HOLM EC.
Wide as the scope of tho work of its
organization and diversified as it
many activities was the programme of
the National Congress of Mothers and
Parent-Teacher Associations yesterday.
The third day of the National conven
tion was memorable for its splendid
addresses, its elaborate social functions
and Its broad educatiunal features,
which brought mothers, teachers and
the National Bureau of Kducatlon in
touch with one accord, one vision, the
welfare of the child and the betterment
of the home.
The morning session was held in Li
brary Hall. At 1 o'clock there was a
luncheon, attended by 400 delegates,
at the Hotel Multnomah; at 4 o'clock
a reception at Mayor Albee's homo In
Ijiurelhurst was enjoyed, and In the
evening the session in the First Pres
byterian Church called forth a vast as
semblage. Cloning la Today.
This Is the closing day of this great
convention, and all sessions will be
held In the Library. It Is anticipated
that one of the strongest resolutions
for peace ever formulated will be read
when the resolutions committee re
ports. Mrs. Fred Dick, of Colorado, lJ
chairman of the committee. So pro
nounced has been the sentiment of the
women In favor of peace thtit every
reference to tho subject has met with
spontaneous applause.
Dr. W. T. Foster, president of Reed
College, who made the principal ad
dress at the luncheon, spoke on woman's
part in war, and at the uloso of hi
address was not only applauded but
cheereJ by the entire audience.
Women's Burden Cited.
"Every war is primarily a war on
women," said Dr. Foster, "fur it is tho
women who suffer llrst and last. Long
after man's suffering Is over tho women
go on suffering. It Is a comparatively
easy thing to go out with banners fly
ing amid the plaudits of the people and
be shot, but to stay quietly at home,
with breaking heart, endure hardships
and poverty and bring up the children
year after year that is another ttory.
"A dy is coining, and coming soon,
when this business of war shall not go
forward except by the votw of the wom
en who bear the burden."
Militant Are t rltlriard.
Ir. Foster referred to Lieu tons n t
Gencral Wood's reports and remarks
regarding war and said: "It is Just
such talk as Wood's that makes war.
If those who make their living by war,
those like tho German Kniperor, who
have millions of stock in the Krupp
works, if they get together and keep
on saying Yc shitll have war," then
we Biirely will, but If the mothers get"
together anil say strongly enough, e
shall have peace," then the effect will
be felt.
"When Wood said that war is made
by the people he stated an infernal
falsehood. War is mado by Individuals.
The time is coining when war cannot
bo niude by secret treaties. The time is
coming when women and men shall vote
on the question of war. The time i
coining when tho women of the United
States will make It impossible for this
country to make war on the mothers of
any other nalion."
RoOMevelt 1. Onaurcd.
Dr. Foster said that tin: preparation
for war as a means of keeping peace is
a fallacy, "if you want anything else
you prepare for it," bo suid.
"I want to tell you that Theodore
Roosevelt is one of the most pernicious
advocates of war." This was tho t peak
er's statement regarding tho ex-President,
whom he mentioned while classi
fying some of Iho fallacies that menace
the peace of the country. "Last year
1143,000.000 was spent for batt ships.
Is this a preiMiiatlon for peace? If we
want peace, let us prepare for It. Lot
us start right In with the textbooks at
school and extol the merits of the great
inventors and great minds that have
made tor progress.
"Let us stop arguing. 'In time of
peaco prepare for war.' The greatest
argument for peace Is the 4000 unfor
tified miles between Canada and thy
United Slates two countries that live
in continual friendliness. Compare it
with the fortified borders of Germany
and France."
Women's SW-re eted.
"The breeding of a better generation
of human heings is the one great and
lasting mission of women, but women
cannot reach the best heights by stay
ing in the home all the time snd leav
ing all the great decision! to the men.
Among these great decisions sre thoso
of peace and war. In these t'no moth
ers of the nalion must t;ik a part.
Uvery war is a war against womnn
and a war against the r.cNt genera
