SEAMEN'S ACT PUTS
TREATIES AT STAKE
United States Notifies 21 Na
tions It Will Terminate
.. Existing Provisions.
CONSENT IS ESSENTIAL
Cancellation ot Entire Compacts
"Will Destroy Many Other Pro
visions ol Grave Import in
i
International. Relations.
WASHINGTON", June 11. Twenty-one
of the principal nations of the world
have been notified by the United States
that It Intends to terminate provisions
of existing treaties with those coun
.tries which are in confliet with the
seamen's .act passed by the last Con
gress. It was learned today that -this notice
was given as required by the .law
through the American emoassies suu
legations, just within the prescribed
limit of .90 days from March 4 last,
when the act was approved.
Previous denunciations of treaties
by the United States hve.ovrd .the
entire conventions. It, remains to say
whether the nations interested in the
present Instance will consent to the ex
cision of certain -articles -to -meet .the
provisions of the seamen's act. If
they will not consent to this, then the
State Department is under obligations
to cancel all the treaties.
Important Provisions U Jeonardy.
Such a proceeding would result in
destroying provisions between the
United -States and all these -nations for
the settlement of estates, the transfer
of property, the exercise of con
Hular functions, diplomatic immunities,
customs and port and lighthouse duties
and a hundred other subjects which
have formed the basis of treaty regula
tions and stipulations between civilized
powers.
Then It would become necessary for
the State Department to begin im
mediately negotiations for new trea
ties to prevent the Infliction of aerious
injury upon the business and diplo
matic relations of the United States.
Objection already has been made -to
the seamen's act by Spain, Italy, Austria-Hungary,
The Netherlands and
ireat Britain, and it is known that
other European governments are pre
pared to adopt a similar course.
Restrictions Cause Objections.
Generally speaking, these objections
Are based on the provisions of the act
.Which permit a foreign sailor in an
American port to claim half his wages
at pleasure; to the sections prohibiting
the advance of wages to sailors and
limiting the allotments which they may
make; requiring a majority of the
crews of foreign vessels to be able to
understand the language of the com
missioned officers; prescribing the pro
portion of veteran sailors to man each
lifeboat, and exempting foreign sailors
rom arrest for desertion.
AH of these provisions are declared
to be in violation of existing treaties.
Nearly all the treaties contain pro
visions requiring at least one year's -notice
before they can be terminated, and
the seamen's act provided that in such
cases the act shall. not take effect until
the expiration of the period fixed in
-the treaties.
J3RYAN MAKES AN APPEAL
(Continued from -Page 8.)
note to Great Britain, dated March 30,
this Government said:
" Un' view of these assurances
formally given to this Government, it
Is confidently expected that the ex
tensive powers conferred by the order-in-council
on the executive officers of
the crown will be restricted by "orders
issued by the government," directing
the exercise of their discretionary
powers in such a maner as to modify
in practical application those pro
visions of the order-in-council, which,
if strictly enforced, would violate neu
tral rights and interrupt legitimate
trade. Relying on the faithful per
formance -of these voluntary -assurances
by His Majesty's government, the
United States takes it for granted that
the approach of American merchant
men to neutral ports, situated upon the
long line of coast affected by the order-in-council,
will not be interfered with
when it is known that they do not
carry goods which are contraband of
war or goods destined to or proceeding
from ports within the belligerent ter
ritory affected.'
Position to Be Insisted -On.
"There is no doubt that our Govern
ment will insist upon this position.
That fs the important thing. The exact
date of the note is not material. My
reason for .desiring to have the matter
presented to Great Britain at once was
not that Germany had any right to ask
it, but because I was anxious to make
it as easy as possible for (Jermany to
accept the demands of the United States
and cease to employ submarines against
merchantmen. There is no reason why
any German-American should doubt
the President's intentions in this mat
ter. "I am sure that everyone will, on
reflection, recognize that our duty to
prevent loss of life is more urgent than
our duty to -prevent interference with
trade. .Loss of trade can be compen
sated for with money, but no settlement
that the United States and Germany
may reach can call back to -life those
who went down with the .Lusitania, and
war would be the most expensive of
all settlements because it would enor
mously add to the number of dead.
"Fourth I hope that Germany will
acquiesce In the demands that have
been -made, and I hope that she will
acquiesce in .them without conditions.
She can trust the United States to deal
Justly with her on the consideration of
any changes that she may propose in
the international rules that govern the
taking of prizes. The more generously
she acts In this matter the greater will
be the glory which she will derive from
it- She has raised a question which is
now receiving serious consideration,
namely, whether the introduction of the
submarine necessitates any change -in
the rules governing the capture of
prizes.
tier man Position Untenable.
"The position seemingly taken by
Germany, namely, that she is entitled
to drown non-combatants because they
ride with contraband is an untenable
position. The most that she could in
sist upon is that, in view of the in
troduction of this new weapon of war
fare, new rules should be adopted, sep
arating passengers from objectionable
carjjo. If the use of . the submarine
justifies such a change in the law of
blockade as will permit the cordon to
be withdrawn far enough from the
shore to avoid the danger of submarine
attack, may it not be found possible to
secure an international agreement by
which passengers will be excluded from
ships carrying contraband or at least
from those carrying ammunition?
"It would require but a slight change
In the shipping laws to make this sep
aration, and belligerent nations might
be restrained, from unnecessarily in
creasing the contraband on transports,
as tttey now carry -troops. Personally
I would like to see an abandonment of
the use of aeroplanes and Zeppelins -for
the carrying of explosives, but I am
not sanguine enough to believe that
any effective Instrument of warfare
will be abandoned as long- as war cojv
tinues." Deadly .Asenclea in Demand.
"The very Arguments -which the ad
vocates of peace advance against the
submarine, the aeroplane -and the Zep
pelin are advanced in favor of them
by those -who conduct -war. The -moe.
fatal a weapon is, the more it is in de
mand, and it is not an unusual thing to
see new instrument of destruction
denounced as inhuman by -those against
whom it is employed, only to lie em
ployed later by .those who, a IKtle (while
before, denounced it.
"The a.bove suggestions are respect
fully submitted to those of German
birth or descent and they are submit
ted -in the same -spirit 'to -naturalized
citizens -lrora other countries. To the
naturalized citizen this is the land of
adoption, but in one sense it may be
nearer to him than it Is to us who are
native born, for those who come here
are citizens by voluntary choice, while
-we are here by accident of birth. They
may be said to have paid a higher com
pliment to the United States than we
who first saw the light under the Stars
and Stripes. But, more than that, it is
the land of their -children and their
children's children, no -matter for what
reason -they -crossed the ocean. They
not only -share with us the shaping of
our Nation's destiny, but their descend
ants have a part with ours in all. the
blessings which the .present generation
can, by -wise and patriotic action, be
queath to the generations -t-hat re to
follow."
Mr. Bryan said that tomorrow he
might have some announcement to
make regarding his uture course. He
displayed a huge pile of congratula
tory telegrams from societies and indi
viduals. More than 1000 -such -messages
have been received, he said.
Mr. Bryan visited the tate Depart
ment late today. .He called on hla suc
cessor, Mr. Landing, nd Assistant
Secretaries, saying that he would visit
the department from time to time.

miles, concluding the voyage by sink

Majestic "With a telegram in his pocket
from the Kaiser conferring on him the
Order Pour le Merlte, there was in his
memory the realization that when he
sank the Pathfinder last September he
had been tare first one after -40 years
of torpedo practice to sink ships with
this device.
Yet he told all -as though beginning
new epochs was the usual occupation
of men 30 years old.
Grew of .33 faces Peril.
Thirty-three young men lived in con
stant danger during the six weeks' voy
age. Throwing gajr jests, ettrred daily
by Prussian war marches .olayed on a
g rap ho phone, -they faced death con
stantly and lived under conditions more
exaating than mere words can describe.
"We left Wilhelmshaven April 25,"
Captain HerBing began. "I let only the
first officer and the chief engineer into
the secret, to explain the increased sup
plies taken aboard. "We slipped quietly
out of Wilhelmshaven, as iiav-s go
many other submarines going Into the
war area. We .kept on the surface most
of the -time, watching for big ships
of the enemy, but failed to see any for
a long time, to our great disappoint
ment. JJewiroj-jer Evaded by Jtvlnsr.
"Off the coast of England we were
finally fired on by a destroyer and had
to dive for safety, but along the
French coast we encountered no enemy.
When 100 miles from Gibraltar we
were fired on by another British de
stroyer. We waited outside Gibraltar
and passed through the strait early In
the morning in plain view, but with
out drawing a single shot or attracting
the least attention. ' Those were tense
but gratifying hours.
"Once within the Mediterranean the
watch, already exacting-, was redoubled.
Here, again, we encountered ships of
the enemy near a email island, but
dived to safety under fire. When pass
ing Malta we were fired on "by a French
destroyer, but were not touched. We
then proceeded south of Greece into
the Aegean Sea and to the Dardan
elles.
"We arrived there on the night' pre
ceeding May 25.. having come from
Wilhelmshaven In exactly one month.
in tne early morning light we saw the
Triumph and the Majestic lying off the
coast, constantly encircled by destroy
ers. Through the periscope T saw a de
stroyer coming directly for us. We
dived and the destroyer passed imme
diately over us with -a sound like lhat
of a motor car.
Terrific CjOoaioo FUm.
"We came up immediately. I took
aim through the periscope and pressed
the button, automatically firing the
torpedo, and the projectile slipped
noiselessly into the water. We dived
again. Xhe explosion which fallowed
was as terrific as if it had been in the
forepart of the submarine itself.
"We all gave three hurrahs for our
Captain," .interrupted Xientenant John.
Buntebard. "Then we lay hidden two
days &nd a half,'" continued Captain
Hersing, "after which we came up
again in the midst of the British ships.
Just before noon, looking through the
periscope, J saw the Majestic, sur
rounded by ten ships -steaming around
her rn a constant circle for her pro
tection. I could see the Jllajestic's sail
ors on the deck taking -on -tbeir noon
day nap.
" Shall I disturb thomr I thought.
Then seeing a welcome space between
the encircling ships, I pressed the elec
tric button and the torpedo was going
right. It caught the- -Majestic a little
abaft ol amidships.
"We dived again. We noticed that
the bombardment from the ships had
ceased, for they had been shelling the
Turkish land positions.
I'jumestionlna; Obedience Enforced.
"We remained submerged for several
hours and then came to the surface to
find the British ships had disappeared
and all search for them was in vain.
We came to Constantinople, arriving
yesterday, .having passed 42 days in the
submarine without rest or change."
"On such a Journey good humor saves
the situation," said Captain Hersing.
"We all know we are facing death, but
we have to die sometime, be it tomor
row or ten years from now. We make
up our minds to it and so everyone is
Jolly.. Another essential is unquestion
ing discipline, without -which the sub
marine would be lost, built like a
watch, as it is.
"It Is Impossible to do anything
without complete confidence, for if one
fails everyone lo one. The crew must
have confidence In the commander, and
he in the crew. He alone sees, so that
he alone can determine. Every man
must realize that Instant obedience to
slightest command is absolutely neces
sary.
Captain Horsing's record is unlaue
Aside from firing the first torpedo that
ever sank a ship, -and sinking two more
warenips in the Dardanelles, he sank
five English and French freight ships
in Havre last November. The torpedo
tube which sank the Pathfinder has
been engraved -with that name. 3s" ow
the name Triumph has been added,
while the name Majestic is engraved
on the second tube.

SIDELIGHTS ON THE ROSE FESTIVAL
JTJAOUGa pennons were snowereu
J upon the committee in charge of

the beautiful garden be kept open to
day and Sunday for the benefit of the
public, the florists who handled It find
it necessary to remove their stock to
day to preserve it. The destruction of
the floral fairyland that they had built
up on the Park Blocks began last night
after the close of the final festivities.
The building- of the festival uenter
Gardens by the Floral Society, which
has In its membership tne leaning pro
fessional florists of the city, was one
of the finest examples qf public spjrit
edness displayed in the whole Festival.
Many of the florists could nave dis
posed of all the stock they were pre
paring -for it on Decoration day, at
fam-v nriees. but they steadfastly de
clined to do so and turned the flowers
over to the Festival practically as a
gift. .
More than 60,000 pots of fine flowers
went into the gardens, and had they
been rated at the actual value of the
stock that went into them the gardens
would have been a more cosuy leaiure
than all the rest of the Festival fea
tures combined.

parade on Thursday, began preparation
for that event a year ago. Stanley
Northrup, -now president of the Wash
ington High School student body and
who was at that time treasurer,
purchased 18.000 gailardia plants.
These Dlants were sold to the stu
dents of the school at a low price with
the understanding tnat tne oiossoms
were- to be used for decorating the
floral float of the school at the Rose
Festival this year. It was these flow

freshness to the float and was greatly
responsible -for winning the prize.
The car -was decorated unuer tne
direction of Mr. Northrup.
Under the auspices of the Letter

will be held at -the open-air pavilion
at Council Crest tonight. The place
will be illuminated with Japanese
lanterns and there will be confetti
and various other carnival attractions.

The band plans to hold dancing

Cheer up! We're here that's the
proof we appreciate it!"
Thus playfully and yet half earnestly
retorted an aging member of on of
the Parent-Teacher Association circles
yesterday during the parade. when
someone pf the parade -"inspectors''
called out for the crowd not to be so
"stingy" with their applause.
"The Rose Festival officials should
not feel that we are lacking in appre
ciation," she said. "Monday morning,
yesterday afternoon for the floral pa
rade and again today for this pageant

weather we have to carry extra wraps
and umbrellas, and as a matter of
fact the good people, wbo no doubt
feel highly entertained and thoroughly
appreciate the good showing, simply
can't applaud all the time. Besides, it
must sound just a little harsh for
visitors to see and hear the officials
going UP and down the lines calling
out for them not to be so 'stingy la

so far, there have been no arrests to

"The world Is surely growing better,"

This is the first Rope Festival lp

erative in charge of United States
Secret Service headquarters in Port
land, in which he has not arrested
somebody for passing bad money. The
val isn't over yet. Who knows? By
nightfall, perhaps "
Mr. Glover's theory of a world grown
better is not accepted in to to by
others in the Federal building. In fact,
a strong opposition theory is expressed
that .the reason Mr. Glover has not
been able to pursue his popular Rose
Festival pastime of catching -shovers
of the queer" is that there aren't any
more of them at large to catch. One
reason therefore being that they have
all been caught already by Mr. Glover
and . put in jail. Anyway, at every
Festival up to the present one, he has,
arrested and obtained the conviction
of from two to four or more men who
had figured the Festival as a snap
chance to unload counterfeit money.
"Congratulations, George," "This ia
some parade, George," and many other
complimentary remarks were continu
ally fired at George L. Baker, director
general of the parade, as sped vast 1
the bystanders who lined the curbs
along the line of march yesterday.
After the marching started there wan
nothing but one long line of hand
clapping. Old Doc Yak and his 348 started out
like a whirlwind, but by the time the
end of the line of march was reached
the batteries had been "worked" to
death and he was barely able to make
his way to the garage.
No difficulty was experienced by the
marchers to keep In step in the neigh
borhood of Fourth, Yamhill and Tay
lor streets. More than a score of per
sons were armed with tin cans and
buckets and sticks. As the paraders
passed the bystanders beat on the
cans and by this method all were kept
in line.
Just the opposite happened at some
parts of the line of march. Some of
the organizations had so many repre
sentatives in line that a band was
placed at the head and at the rear. Aa
a result the first half tried to keep
step with the leaders and those who
brought up the rear were listening to
their followers, while those In the cen
ter were "SO-50" as to their form.

Baker. "It simply couldn't rain, you
know," he explained with much feeling.
It was evident that Mr. Baker had
felt responsible for the success of the
parade and had willed that it should
not rain and mar the event. With feel
ings of mingled happiness and relief
apparent he confided the secret of the
weather after It was all over.
Yesterday was a legal holiday in
every sense of the word and a little
more at the Postofflce. It was more of
a holiday than Christmas, New Year,
Aprii Fool or the Fourth of July, for
on those occasions one mall delivery is
made. Portland business men, how
ever, obtained permission from United
States postal headquarters at Washing
ten to have the last day of the Festival
made a complete holiday, so there were
no deliveries of mail, except to per
sons or firms having lock boxes.
One stamp window and one parcel
post window were kept open. Other
wise the Postofflce -was closed as
tightly as on Sundays. In return for
the holiday, the carriers marched in
the big civic and industrial parade in
the morning. They made a fine show
ing. m m m
Headed by tneir splendid band, the
Cherrians of Salem invaded the office
of The Oregonian about 8 o'clock last
night and treated the staff on duty to a
musical serenade, attracting a big erew
outside on the street. After the musical
selection, the Cherrians gaye three
cheers and a tiger for The Oregonian
and filed oat amid the plaudits of the
crowd. -
Just as an Indication of the crowds
In Portland, one ot the historic eating
houses in the city last nbffht at 8 o'clock
reported that they had fed more peo
ple, estimated in receipts, than on any
day in 42 years. This establishment is
not in the center of the business dis
trict, either.
One exceptionally wU-patroled dis
trict in Washington street last night
was the two blocks from Fifth to
Broadway. This section was in charge
of Police Sergeant Ellis, and one of
the policeman under him who helped
make his work so efficient was Patrol
man Endicott, a veteran of the police
bureau. They handled the crowds
tactfully but firmly and prevented
them from crowding over the ropes.
Although it was nearly 10:30 o'clock
before the parade passed this point, the
crowds were packed against the ropes
as early as 8:30. Sergeant Ellis' and
his men kept them good-natured
through the long wait, but they didn't
hesitate to use rough tactics against
occasional rowdies who bumped against
the ropes, upsetting folks who had
been sitting on boxes for hours, or
who tried to force their, way into the
street.
One of the most interesting features
of yesterday's military, civic and in
dustrial parade, especially to the chil
dren, was the postal division. More
than 200 carriers were in line, march
ing along in their gray uniforms with
their leather letter pouches hung over
their shoulders.
What pleased the kids most was rec
ognizing their own postman in the
ranks. You could hear the little ones
all along the line of march, crying
out: "There he is, mama no. that one.
the man with the mustache." or "Look.
look, there's our own postman see,
he's the one there next to the end."
m m m
Charles Brown, of Tillamook, took
time last night to compliment Portland
Rose Festival officials on the excel
lence of the parades this year. "I have
never seen parades so good any place,"
said Mr. Brown. --"They certainly were
a credit to the city. I for one am thor
oughly satisfied with the Festival. It
is all right. Go ahead .and give us an
other like it. That'civic and fraternal
parade today was a winner.''.

V. M. C. A. OFFICIAL SAYS RETIRS
TO PARTI EXPECTED.
Roosevelt Is Considered Strongest Pos
sibility as Republican Nominee,
Mr. Dlaclc Reports.
"Eoosevelt today is the outstanding
name in. New York state politics, and
the only one other than tlovemor
Whitman who is being considered se
riously as the Republican nominee for
the Presidency in 1916." said Walter
T. Diaclc, general secretary of the New
York West Side Y. M. C. A., the largest
association In the world, yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Diack were Festival vis
itors yesterday after the conference of
Employed Officers of North America
at Asllomar, Cat.
"The Roosevelt-Barnes trial at Syra
cuse has more than ever crystallized
the sentiment that men of the Barnes
and Penrose type will have to be de
posed as Republican party leaders to
insure party success in 1916. Roose
velt came out of that trial stronger
than ever in his state and a serious
factor in the selection of the Presi
dential nominee.
"Whether he will enter the political
arena again unless there is a general
demand over the country for him is
problematical, but It is certain that' he
is being seriously reckoned with by
politicians in the East. Governor
Whitman, whose chances depend large
ly on his record of the next two years,
now has fair prospects.
"It is not considered probable that
Roosevelt will attempt to revivify the
Bull Moose party, but that he will
come back into Republican ranks as
the party's dominant factor. lie is the
only one New Yorkera consider likely
as a candidate against Wilson."
Mr. XHack, declared himself in favor
of a larger Army and Navy to insure
international respect that he said peace
propaganda could not obtain. He
leaves today on his way back to New
York.
