THE MORNING OREGONIAIT, TUESDAY, MAT 30, 191 G. EARLY PEACE HOPE FOUND UK One Member Says People Will Recoil Before Winter From War Strife. PRESS SLIGHTLY IRRITATED Prosecution of War Is Still Fa vored Generally, but Interviewer Gains Impression Conditions Are Changing Rapidly. BT ARTHUR S. DRAPER. LONDON", May 29. (Special.) Al though the press generally expresses Blight irritation at President Wils-m's peace speech, considering: it as prema iva anrl ri a foillnr tn O m T"l H 7 O biS point that there is little difference be tween the belligerents, I (fathered enough opinions in the House of Com mons this afternoon to show thac there is real sentiment in England for early peace. If the members who made these statements interpret fairly the senti ment of the constituencies which they represent the peace movement is gain ing ground rapidly. Conditions Changing Fait. This is the first time that I have been able to get any considerable num ber of members of the House to speak for publication, which shows that con ditions are changing fast. It must be understood that the gen eral sentiment is still unquestionably for the prosecution of the war. Here are the views of some of the members with whom I talked: Richard Lambert, representative from a manufacturing center: . "The peace feelitig is growing rapidly, but not peace at any price. What we want is a peace which win guarantee ' that the present ghastly conflict will not recur. The President's speech was ad mirable. There is no desire here for territorial acquisitions, but simply a desire to show that might does not make right." Peace Move Welcomed J. H. "Whitehouse, representative from a mining district: "! read Presi dent Wilson's speech with great inter est, for I am convinced that there is a great part reserved for America to Play in helping the belligerents to bring about peace. I would gladly see the United States attempt the dif ficult, and dangerous role of peace maker." Sir John Barlow, a Quaker: "I entirely sympathize with Presi dent Wilson in his desire for the peace of the world. This will-probably come, in m v nninlon bv negotiation which must in time supplant wars." Sympathy "With Speech Held. Percy A. Molteno. shipbuilder: "I think President Wilson's speech of very great importance. I have the deepest sympathy with it. Any long comment now would be premature, as we have not the opportunity to give earnest consideration to the points he raised." W. C. Anderson, labor representative: "There is a growing desire to reach peace on lasting terms. Many of us have believed that America, through its President, would have to play the big part when the decisive moment came. Everytfiing now which brings rational peace nearer will be welcomed by a very large and growing number of peo-' pie of this country, and it is entirely right that statesmen, both in belliger ent and neutral countries, should re duce the differences to a minimum, so that the issue can be clearly seen and the war ended at the moment when the rights of the various nations can be safeguarded." America's Role Recognized. Edmand Harvey, maufacturing dis trict: "I think it was a tactful speech in which the President did not force his views on others, but shows hi willing ness to act promptly when the right time comes. His vision of the future is of the utmost importance. His sug gestions outline a plan which if only partly carried out would be a landmark in the progress of humanity. Unques tionably the United States must take an active part in the move for peace Philip Morrel, Lancashire milling district: "The object of the President's speech, as ne tens us, was not to discuss a programme but to avow a creed. With the main principles of his creed every civilized man must at least agree. May the United States prosper in its efforts to secure a speedy fulfillment." Peace Desire Underestimated. T. Richardson, labor representative: "The speech will receive the careful consideration of this country as well as others. It is a good step in the right direction. There is more desire for peace in Europe than probably America Knows. , Arthur Ponsonby: "From the commencement of the war I have regarded President Wilson as the one man who might, when the op portunity offered, lead the nation of Europe back to sanity. His great sagacity and tact fits the President for the role of mediator and his recent speech leads me to suppose that the opportunity for his intervention may not do iar distant. Recoil by People Forecast. Philip Snowden, who represents the mining town of Lackburn: "The only fault with the speech is that it does not eo Quite far enousrh but essentially reflects what we have said repeatedly regarding tne neces sary conditions to effect permanent peace, i wish tne speech had particu larized more, but it is satisfac tory to us. "It also is hopeful insofar as it shows that the President has aligned the intelligent and well-informed thought of this country. Furthermore, he seems to convey the hint that he may soon be. ready to take the initia tive active steps toward peace.. It ii one of many straws pointing to a sit uation which the general mind of thf- people here expects to arrive at more quickly than rulers expect. If the war is not over before Autumn I believe the people of all the belligerent nations will recoil, horrified from the thought 01 anpiner year or war. VIENNA PLAINT RECEIVED Cl .urges Against Entente Subma rines Iteaeli American Embassy. N ASHI.NGTON-. May 29 The State Department has been advised by the American embassy at Paris that the text of an Austrian note on submarine warfare has been received there from Ambassador Penfleld at Vienna, and is being forwarded by mail.

The official com munication issued tonight- reads: "On the left bank of the Meuse the enemy directed all day an intense bombardment with shells of large cal iber against our first and second lines from the Avocourt wood to Cumieres. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Germans violently attacked our posi tions on Hill 304. Repulsed the first time with considerable losses, the enemy renewed his effort at 5:30 o'clock and sufered a new sanguinary check. Concentrations of the enemy reported west of Hill 304 were taken under the fire of our batteries and dispersed. "Between Le Morte Homme and Cumieres a strong enemy attack, de bouching from the Corbeaux wood, was broken by our barrier fire, except at one point, where the enemy gained a footing on a front of about 300 metres in one of our advanced trenches north west of Cumieres. "On the right bunk there was a violent artillery action in the region to the east and west of Fort Douau mont. "Except for the usual cannonading, which was particularly spirited in the Apremont forest, there is no event to report on the rest of the front." British. LONDON, May 30. The following of ficial communication was issued at midnight Monday: "During the past 24 hours the enemy artillery has been very active on cer tain portions of our front, particularly between La Bassee Canal and Arras. The enemy bombarded our front and support lines in the neighborhood of Loos. The town and neighborhood of Arras and as far as Neuville-St. Vaast also were the scenes of intermittent and, heavy concentrated bombardments. We replied effectively, in some cases silencing hostile batteries. "In the region of Loos mines were sprung by the enemy, but without dam aging our defenses. On our right our line about Mabetz and Fricourt has been the scene of some artillery activ ity, but not of a serious nature. On the left our front from Zillebeke to Hooge and the vicinity of Elverdinghe has been heavily shelled. North of Hooge our artillery breached a hostile parapet, destroying a machine gun em placement. Our guns caused consider able damage to the enemy at various points, in addition to engaging hostile batteries. "There has been no infantry action during the last 24 hours. The fine, sunny weather has been suitable for aerial work, and much successful work has been accomplished by us. Few German aeroplanes were seen." Italian. ROME, via London, May 29. The fol lowing official communication was' is sued today: In the Lagarina Valley. Sunday night and Monday morning, the enemy re newed his stubborn, sanguinary attacks against our positions between the Adige and Val d'Assa. The attacks were al ways broken by the resistance of our troops. In the Posina-Astico sector the n tense artillery duel continued yester day. A large force of the enemy in the afternoon attacked a part of our posi tion south of the Posina torrent, but. after a determined struggle, it was re pulsed with considerable losses. On the Asiago plateau our troops are now occupying and consolidating post tions dominating the Asiago basin. A brilliant counter attack by the Four teenth Regiment relieved two batteries which had been surrounded on Monte Mosciag, and saved the guns. In the Sugana Valley there were some skir mishes. 'On the remainder of the front the artillery activities were intense at Plava and Monfalcone." Austrian. VIENNA, May 29. The official Aus trian statement of yesterday follows: "Italian war theater Austro - Hun garian troops captured the fortified works at Cornowo, west of Arslero, and the fortified dam across the Italyssa, southwest of Monte Intorrotto, in the district of Asiago.

A statement issued today by Turk ish army headquarters says: "A Russian attack against Turkish GERMAN CLAIM REFUTED SIR EDWARD GREY ANSWERS VON BETHMAN N-HOLLWEG, DR. Records Cited to Show Britain Refused to Fight for Point That Started this War. LONDON, May 29. The Foreign Of fice isued a statement today counter ing the allegations of the German Chancellor, Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, about the Boenlan crisis, which Sir Ld ward Grey, the Foreign Secretary, in the House of Comons, characterized as a "first-class lie." The statement is chiefly of historic interest, but shows that Sir Edward Grey, writing to the British Ambassa dor at St. Petersburg on February 2 7, 1909, declared that no territorial con cessions could be obtained for Serbia without a successful war and that "to risk for Serbian territorial claims a war which might eventually involve the greater part of the continent of Europe must be out of all proportion to the interests at stake." The statement adds: - "The records of the period leave the impression that war was avoided be cause Russia and Great Britain were reluctant to press the Serbian claims against Austria to the point of war and had' Germany taken a corresponding view in 1914. when the Austrian de mands on Serbia were pressed to the point of extinguishing Serbian inde pendence, war would have been averted then." DEFENSE TO BE DEBATED CHAUTAUQUA SPEAKERS WILL BE V FROM BOTH SIDES. Secretary Cross Announces Pro gramme for Forum and Special Days Already Set Apart. OREGON CITY, May 29. (Specials Preparedness advocates and those who preach the extreme pacifist idea may each have their "day" at the Willamette Valley Chautauqua this year.

The schedule as made" public today ror the Jaily 11 o clock "forum hours" is as follows: July 8, Consumers' League morning; advanced posts on the right wing of tne Caucasus front failed, the Turks taking some prisoners. "On the left wing, by a counter at tack, we repulsed the enemy, who had occupied a part of our advanced posi tions. "A torpedo-boat that appeared along the coast off Ada was driven off by our fire. Two enemy monitors and some torpedo-boats then bombarded, without effect, our artillery placed in this region. When an enemy monitor was hit by our counter fire all the ships ceased firing and retired." Russian. PETROGRAD, via London. May 29.

In retalia tion for the bombardment of Pervej'se and Caeskerke. our batteries of all cal ibers carried out a destructive fire on the German works around Dixmude." Yacht Club Notes THE Verdun region and Southern Tyrol continue the theaters where the sanguinary battles are taking place. While the Italians are holding back the Austrians from further ad vances and inflicting heavy losses on them in counter attacks in Tyrol, their German allies have been able to make another gain in the capture of about 300 metres of French trenches north west of the village of Cumieres on the left bank of the Meuse near Verdun. Fighting of great intensity has been in progress around Hill 304 and be tween Le Mort Homme and Cumieres. tfut except near Cumieres all the Ger man onslaughts were set at naught by the vigorous counter offensives of the French. The sectors east and west of Fort Douaumont, northeast of Verdun, have witnessed still another violent artillery duel, but no infantry attacks were launched. The artillery of both sides have been busy along the remainder of the front in France and Belgium. In Tyrol th Austrians in Lagarina Valley and south of Posina torrent have made heavy saults against the Italian positions. the the as- but the Italians repulsed the attackers with considerable losses. On the Asiago plateau the men of the two batteries which were surrounded on Monte Mosciag by the Austrians were relieved by an Italian regiment and their guns brought Barely away. Except for a report from Petrograd that the Germans have repeatedly bombarded the railway line to the east of Riga, no operation of moment has taken place on the Russian front. Minor successes have been obtained by the Russians over the Turks in the Rivandouza region of the Caucasus front.

BRITISH FIGHTING SEVERE Almost Continuous Engagements Overshadowed Only by Furious Struggle to Southeast Army Is Free From Epidemics. LONDON. May 29. General Sir Doug las Haig, Commander of the British forces in France and Belgium, in a speech covering the operations of the British army in that territory from December 19, last, when he took over the command, until May 19. pays high praise to the French defense at Ver dun and reviews In detail the actions in which the British have taken part. During this period." he says, "the only offensive effort- made by the enemy on a great scale was directed against our French allies near Verdun. The fighting in that area has been pro longed and severe. The results have been worthy of the traditions of the French army and of great service to the cause of the allies. 'The efforts made by the enemy have caused him heavy losses, both In men and In prestige, and he has made these sacrifices without gaining any ad vantage to counterbalance them. British Aid Indirect. During this struggle my troops have been in readiness to co-operate as they might be needed, but the only assist ance asked for by our allies was or an Indirect nature, namely, the relief of the French troops on a portion of their defensive front. This relief I was glad to be able to afford. Its execution on considerable front. everywhere In close touch with the enemy, was a somewhat delicate operation, but it was carried out with complete success, thanks to the cordial co-operation and good will of all ranks concerned, and to the lack of enterprise shown by the enemy during relief. While no action comparable with that at Verdun has been fought on the Brit ish front. General Haig says the Brit ish struggle has been continuous and that there have been many sharp local actions. The maintenance and repair of the trenches alone entailed constant and heavy work. He speaks of the con tinued activity of the artillery, infan try. airmen and sappers and miners and adds: Ever-present threats cause a more constant strain than any other forfh of warfare." Local Actions Furious. There were 60 local actions during the period under review, "some of which," says General Haig. "although Individually Insignificant in a war on such an immense scale, would have been considered worthy of a separate dis patch under different conditions." The British commander maaes spe cial mention of raids, or "cutting out parties," which have been made at leas two or three times a week against the enemy lines. "They consist,1' he says, "of a brief attack, with some special object on section of the opposing trenches, and are usually carried out at night by small body of men. The character of these operations, the preparation of the road through our own and the enemy's wires, the crossing of open ground, the unseen penetration of the enemy' trenches, hand-to-hand fighting in the darkness, and the uncertainty as to th strength of the opposing force give peculiar scope of gallantry, dash and quickness of decision of the troops en gaged and much skill and daring are frequently displayed in these opera tions. "The initiative in these minor opera tions has been taken and, on the whole, has been held by us, but the German recently have attempted some bold an well-conceived raids against our lines many of which have been driven back although some succeeded in penetrat ing. Health of Army Excellent. General Haig mentions the arrival of tne Anzacs and South Africans and ad ditional Canadian forces in France and says that this made possible the takin over of a greater extent of front.

ANTI-LOBBY ACT WANTED GOVERNOR ALSO WOULD REMEDY ADMINISTRATION LAWS. losa Signing of Vouchers and Shorten ing of Ballot Advocated In Speech Before Students. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., May 29. (Special.) A law for remedying lobbying, the shortening of the ballot and the glvtaig to the execu tive more time for duties of adminis tration were suggested changes in tate affairs by Governor James Withy combe in his address before the stu dents this morning on "mate Adminis tration." The address was short and Informal. Gene-.i satisfaction was expressed by thoAJovernor with the conditions under which the executive power of the state is administered. Governor Withycombe maintained. however, the ballot might reasonably be shortened by changing the number of tho 60 elective officers to appointive positions, although he believed the statement often heard concerning the superfluity of boards and commis sions was merely the hue and cry of the cheaper grade of politicians who were raising the cry merely for politi cal effect. "Under our present system," he declared, "we have the services of the very finest citizens of the state free of charge." Too much time is taken up by the executive with signing vouchers, be lieves Governor ithycombe. On ac count of the Governor's connection with large number of commissions, the formality of signing vouchers requires practically one-third of his time. "There should be some other means of doing this." said Governor Withycombe.

BRITISH TO BE NEUTRAL CONSULS TOLD TO KEEP OIT OF AMERICAN POLITICS. Former Subjects of England to Get No Advice From London's Agents In Matter of Voting-. WASHINGTON. May 29. British Consular officers in the United States have been instructed and warned by the Brltisn Embassy to avoid being drawn into anything that might be construed as Interference with Ameri can politics with the approach of the National, elections. A circular issued to the consulates says: "As the elections are approaching British officials will no doubt receive letters from self-styled British-Americans, genuine or otherwise, asking advice as to how they ought to vote. Such letters are generally of the nature of a trap for electioneering pruposes. British subjects have no votes. Ameri can cltisens cannot properly be advised by foreign officials as to the exercise ot their suffrage. Such advice would be regarded as undue Influence in Amer.n internal politics. Writers of letters or this nature should, therefore, not be answered at all, or If answered, Informed thac British officials cannot advise American, citizens as to the exercise of their rifelits."
