MUNITIONS SALE OPPOSED
American and . Oorman-Aiiiericaii
i'ators Exchange Kisses to Prove
Tliat Gathering Is Xot Pro
German, as Charged. '
CHICAGO. Sept. 6. Prolonged, ap
plause greeted William J. Bryan dur
lns? his address before the National
convention of the Friends of Peace to
day, when lie said:
"I want you to be thankful that this
country's President loves peace and ia
tryin?, with every means at his dis
posal, to preserve our country's peace."
Shortly before the delegates had
"cheered Kepresentative Henry Vollmer,
of Iowa, again and again while he at
tacked the Administration for permit
ling shipments of war munitions from
.America to Europe.
Both spoke at the afternoon session,
the concluding business meeting of the
convention. .
Before adjourning, the convention In
structed its officers to make known to
President "Wilson and Congress the pur
popes of the Friends of peace as em
bodied in resolution's adopted at the
morning session.
'1'he resolutions, which were styled
"a new declaration of independence,"
made no formal demand for an embargo
on munitions of war, but declared for
the freedom of the seas to all com
merce, including that with all bellig
erent nations, and opposed manufac
ture of death-dealing implements for
profit.
The officers also were instructed to
draw up bills embodying the principles
for presentation to the next Congress.
Pastors Exchange Kisses.
The best applause-gatheringr incident
of the convention took place at the
fternon session, when Jeremiah A.
o'Lcary, of New York, one of the speak
ers, called Rev. G. C. Berkemeier. a
;erman-Ameriean delegate, and Rev.
J. H. s. Somerville. an Anglo-American
Jelesate, to the speakers' stand and re
quested them- to clasp hands as a vis
ible refutation of charges that the con
vention was a pro-German fathering.
Kev. Mr. Berkemeier. a Lutheran min
ltser, clasped Kev. Mr. Somervllle. an
Ipiscopaliun rector, in his arms and
kissed him on both cheeks, while the
audience burst into frantic applause.
Mr. Bryan confined his address to
a discussion of the ethics of warfare,
the necessity, as he described it, of
the I'nited States keeping out of tho
present trouble, and of the duties of
citizens in doing all in their power not
to endanger the country's peace. In
l-'art. he said:
"We must not be too hasty to crit
icise those in official positions, who, aa
1 know from experience, are often mis
represented and misunderstood.
I'mldrnt la Upbeld.. -
"I think the President has not always
been Riven full credit for hts 'efforts
to. preserve peace. You will recall that
when I resigned from the Cabinet I
f'i'l that the President and I did not
differ in our desire to maintain peacti,
but only as to the means to the end.
"It behooves all of us to maintain
tolerance and charity in the moVcment
for peace, and to invite cp-opeiatlon
from all.
"This war proves that preparedness
is not a preventive of war.
"I have been speaking and traveling
the central states of tho Upper Missis
sippi Valley aiid. from what 1 hear I
believe the people do. not want war.
"You can't make the people prepare for
war until you can convince them this
country is ahout to be invaded.
"I want to warn you you can't trans
plant to America the hatreds that are
vexing Kurope unless you are prepared
to eat of tho fruit of the tree.
"If the dOETa of war must fisrht in
J-:iitppe. let them flsht. But let us
avoid hydrophobia in this country.
' "It will be impossible lor one side In
the Kuropeau conflict to annihilate the
other, as has been fussesleil. One side
cannot dtctata permanent terms of set
tlement to another. They must set to
gether, and they miht as well do it
at once.
"If ever we have war I demand that
tho .iiuso editors of this country make
up the front line of battl.
"There is a difference between one's
ritrht and one's duty. Sometimes it is a
citizen s duty not to exercise his rights.
4'ltizens should keep out of the danger
zone of the Kuropean conflict.
"America must remain neutral so as
to preserve the useful task of media
tion for herself after the war is over."
Sir. Vollraer Wants Kmliarso.
representative Vollmer, in his ad
'ireas. recited the fact that he had
helped to introduce in Congress an act
providing for an embargo on shipments
of munitions abroad. 11". said he still
ctood for the act. and that, far from
being- unneutral, as its opponents had
charged, the country could not be
honestly neutral without it.
"To be neutral." said Mr. Vollmer.
"is not to ,l-rtend to be willing to help
both sides when we are perfectly aware
thut one side cannot get our help. This
is what our worthy President once
called paper neutrality" inthe case of
Mexico. Why cannot he see it that
way in the case of Uermany?
"In the eyes of official Washington
Mexican kultur must be regarded as
superior to Herman kultur; at least it
sets a fond preference in our foreign
policy."

tro-Hungarian Empire in this country.
They anticipate: ' .
First The voluntary retirement of
Ambassador Dumba, or a request by
this Government thatTne be recalled
by the Kmperor of Austro-Hungary. .
Second The withdrawal of Alexan
der is"aler von Peroked. Austro-Hun-garian
Consul-Qencral in New York, or
toe cancelation of his etequatur by
the Government at Washington.
Third Tho voluntary departure of
Captain Franz von Papen. German mil
itary attache, or a request by this
j Government that Germany recall him.
Proaecutioii la Poaaible.
Fourth The prosecution of all per
sons involved, in the project to foment
strikes in munition factories.
Secretary of State Iansing was no
tified today that M. Dumba and Count
von Bernstorff, tho latter tho German
Ambassador, will call on him tomor
row. It is assumed here they have been
in communication with each other.
Probably they will not call on the
Secretary together. Count von Bern
storff can make no exp'anation for
his colleague. M. Dumba. The latter
mustmake his own. But Count von
Bernstorff. doubtless, will discuss the
case of Von" Ptcpen and give whatever
favorable interpretation he can to the
activities of his subordinate.
Predicament In Grave.
The State Department expects that
M. Dumba will confirm the authen
ticity of the letter attributed to him.
He already has done so in the public
prints and his explanation, to put it
mildly, has increased the gravity of
his predicament.
But the letter itself is the chief evi
dence aRainst the Austro-Hungarian
Ambassador and the Austro-Hungarian
Consul-General in New York.
Striked Part of Programme.
The letter shows there were negotia
tions on to precipitate strikes, that
these negotiations were conducted by
the Austro-Hungarian Consul-General
and that they received-the approval of
the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador,
who requested his government to ap
prove the project determined on. Tho
object in view was two-fold as follows:
1. Disorganization of the munitions
industry through strikes: failing which
2. Creation of a crisis as a result
of which more favorable working con
ditions would be obtained for the em
ployes. Diplomat! Are Gueata.
Diplomats accredited to the t'nlted
States are guests of the' United States.
They have no right to interfere In the
domestic affairs of the Nation. They
pass beyond the proprieties in engag
ing in such interference, and they be
come the enemy of our peace and safety
when they deliberately foment indus
trial unrest either to stop the wheels
of an enterprise for the advantage of
their country or to create a condition
for the improvement of the circum
stances even of their own countrymen.
In short, they become guilty of assail
ing the sovereignty of the United States
over conditions and affairs in its own
territory.
If normal times existed there Is no
doubt but that Immediate demand
would be registered in Vienna and Ber
lin for the recall of the diplomats who
are charged with such a grlevious of
fense against this Government. Presi
dent Wilson, however, must consider
the effect of such action on the re
lations of the United States with the
Central European powers.
Recall Bequest Not I nfriendly.
There is no prinfiple of Interna
tional comity so well established, how
ever, as the right of a sovereign to re
quire the recall of an offensive Min
ister sent to him. This principle is
qualified by the right of the govern
ment commissioning -the diplomat to
determine his guilt or innocence of the
offenses charged. Moreover, a demand
Tor the recall of a diplomat who Is
personally objectionable cannot be re
garded by his government -as an un
friendly act...
Austria-Hungary will be merely asked
to replace M. Dumba by a man in whose
conduct the United States can repose
the confidence that he will hot commit
an offense against the internal peace
and security of its people.
DUMBA GOES TO WASHINGTON
Austrian Ambassador to Explain to
Secretary or State.
LEXOX, Mass., Sept. 6. Dr. Con
stantin Theodor Dumba. Ambassador
from Austria-Hungary, left the Sum
mer "Embassy here for Washington
late today.
It was understood that he would
meet Secretary of State Lansing, to
morrow afternoon to explain matters
contained in dispatches which British
officials found In custody of an Apier
I -an newspaper correspondent, regard
ing war munition factories in this
country.
"It is difficult to get at these labor
ers owing to the condition under which
they work, and because of the fact
that so many are uneducated I have
subsidized many newspapers printed in
the several languages of the Austro-
Hungarian races, and througli their col
umns have told citizens of the govern
ment I represent what their duty is.
But I can reach only a minority in that
manner.
"The only way is to inaugurate a
peaceful walkout in the big steel mills,
where all A ustro-Hungarlan citizens
may be reached cn masse."

'Willamette Pacific Will Be Pushed to
Completion "With Other iroj
cctx. Says Official. '
- Continuation of the construction
work on the Willamette Pacific Rail
road down the Oregon coast Country,
and the early electrification of the line
from Whiteson to Corvallis, were the
most that could be promised Oregon in
the way o new work by William
Sproule, president of the Southern Pa
cific Company, who left last night for
Seattle, after spending a day in Port
land. "The Willamette Paciric will be
pushed to completion." said President
Sproule. "Heavy bridge work across
the Umpqua and the lakes between
that stream and the Siuslaw are hold
ing the. work up somewhat. The bridge
across Coos Bay is nearing completion
and material is being distributed , so
that when the Umpqua structure is
finished the gap can be closed quickly.
"We propose to proceed with the
electrification of the line from White
son to Corvallis as soon as desired
franchises are secured. If granted,
these will give us an electric road from
Portland to Corvallis.
"Karnings In the passenger branch
of the service have been very good
during July. August figures have not
yet been computed, but travel was
heavy and September is promising.
Freight earnings are doing little better
than holding their own In comparison
with last year.
"We hope to do better when . we get
freight rates adjusted to meet the com
petition of the Panama Canal. Details
have not yet been threshed out with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
This takes time but it is in progress.
"Considering half the world is at
war I believe we are doing remarkably
well, taking the business situation as
a whole. It these were times of peace
we would not consider we were doing
well, but, in view of the uncertainties
we are. making as milch progress.
