U-BOAT SITUATION STUDIED Declaration Is Made That No Evi dence of Germany's Breaking Promises to United States ' ! Has Been Discovered. HARRISBURG. Pa.. Oct. 11. (On Board President Wilson's Special.) President Wilson was on his way to Indianapolis tonight on his second in vasion of the Middle West since the campaign opened. He will deliver two speeches and review a parade tomor row in connection with a good roads celebration. His visit to Indianapolis was announced as entirely non-partisan. The President is expected to make several short stops in Indiana and Ohio, but. he reiterated tonight his determi nation not to make any campaign speech from the rear platform of his private car. Speeders Are Prepared. The President remained on the ob servation platform of his car at Phila delphia this afternoon for 15 minutes shaking hands with men and women. Tonight Mr. Wilson worked until late on the two speeches he will deliver to morrow. He is due to arrive in India napo.i's at 10:55 tomorrow morning and will leave for Long Branch again at 6:45 o'clock in the afternoon, reaching Shadow Lawn Friday afternoon. As a result of the conference last night and early today between Presi dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing at Long Branch, N. J, it was stated au thoritatively tonight that no evidence of the breaking of German promises to the United States had been discovered so far in connection with the sub marine activities . off the American coast last Sunday, but that the Ameri can Government will continue its in vestigations and will, watch closely any repetition of the attacks. Evidence to Be Gathered. Administration officials apparently fear that difficulties may result if Ger man submarine warfare is waged on a large scale on this side of the Atlan tic, and that it is- necessary for the Government to seek all facts obtain able. Because of this fear, it was thought probable that means would be found tor discovering whether- Germany will continue submarine warfare on this hemisphere. Complete evidence on whether Ger many's promises to put passengers and crews in places of safety before sink ing" vessels were carried out in last Sunday's attacks ' is expected to be ready for the President when he re turns East Friday. GERARD BEARS NO WARNING Ambassador Says Germany Sends No Word of Intent to Break Pledge. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. James W. Gerard, United States Ambassador to Germany who returned here yesterday on his first vacation in nearly three years, issued a formal statement late today in which he denied that his home coming had been caused by the need of warning the Administration at Wash ington of Germany's intention to resumed indiscriminate submarine war fare against neutral as well as hostile chipping. The Ambassador's statement follows: "You may say that it is not true that I came home at this time to serve notice on the President of Germany's intention to repudiate her pledges re garding the conduct of submarine war fare, or that Germany was contemplat ing the resumption of submarine, at tacks upon all kinds of shipping. "I say to you what I said to a re porter for the Berliner Tageblatt at Copenhagen before I sailed: I should Dot think of leaving my post at. this time if I were not convinced that the relations between my country and Ger many were as friendly as they could be and gave every promise of continuing eo indefinitely." HUGHES LOUDLY CHEERED (Continued From Flrat Page.) subject ti)at should not be critically analyzed. We cannot make progress in mat way. "I desire to consider some of the actions which have been taken that we may make a fair estimate. The other day it was said that the alternative or. the present policy of. the Admin istration was war. that anyone who undertook to criticise that action must necessarily favor war. 1 am a man of peace, and it is because I desire to see American peace safeguarded that I in cist upon a firm and unflinching maintenance of American rights and such policies as will deserve and hold tne esteem of the entire world. "The policy of a sound enforcement of known rights is not a policy of war. ic is a policy or security, of self respect. Whjan this Nation forgets the dignity of iftr own citizenship, and the rights of its own citizens, it will enter upon a period of decadence; will invite insults, and will surely end in over whelming disaster. Mexican Policy Attacked. "No party can stand before the Amer. lean people and say that it will not maintain American rights, and I pro pose that this shall not be simply said, but that it shall be done. "During the last three years and a half we have had ample opportunity to estimate woras and actions. The execu tive, by his unofficial spokesman, sent word to the man whom he refused to recognize as the head of the govern ment of Mexico not simply that he would not be recognized, but he must get out or he would be put out. "That was a threat of war, nothing cise. it was an Indefensible act of War. For while the executive in hia sound discretion could recognize or re fuse to recognize Huerta as he pleased, according to his judgment of the sta bility of that government and its abil ity to perform its duties, under inter national law he had no authority to engage in a personal war upon the man Who happened to be at the head of the only government Mexico knew." War With Mexico 'Intermittent.' Mr. Hughes reviewed American rela tions with Mexico since Huerta's time. The nominee declared the Administra tion's polioy had been one of "inter mittent war." "When we summoned the entire Na tional Guard to our border, what con dition was that, a condition of peace or a condition of war?" he asked. "The judge-advocate of the Army has given his opinion that it was a condition of war. Now I am not going into a re cital of these conditions, but I merely jsay this: That you might be willing to see anarchy; you might be willing to give over our citizens and their property to the ravages of military robbers: you might be willing to see spasmodic and ineffectual interven tion; you -may-be able to do" all' that, but do not say that vour nollcv is a policy of peace when it has been a policy of. intermittent seace without honor, and intermittent war without Honor. Prosperity Held at Stake. "We are living in a time when Amer ican prosperity, American rights, and tne sense or the necessity of preserv ing the principles of our institutions are at stake in the issues of this cam paign. And I desire to serve not this set, nor that set, but the people of tne united States at this period.'.' Mr. Hughes read the Democratic platform plank of 1912 declaring for tho protection of American rights. That Is whht the Democratic party was elected on," he said, "and they had no right to desert that policy upon which they promised faithfully to stand. "We want peace: we want peace that is honorable, peace that squares with the dignity of American manhood. We can have that sort of peace a great deal more easily than' we can have the other sort of peace which barters cowardly the self-respect of the Nation." The nominee leaned forward and asked the audience whether the Admin istration's "threat to put Huerta out" was a policy of peace or a policy of war. "War," shouted a half dozen voices from the crowd. Scores in the audi ence echoed the word. Their voices were drowned in the cheering that followed. "What about the embargo on arms?" shouted another man. "Tell us about that." "Yes, I'll tell you about that," the nominee replied. "The Administration put an embargo on arms, then took it oir. then put it on again, then stopped It once more and arms were going to this bandit and that bandit with the result that the American soldiers slain in Mexico were slain with American bullets." The audience cheered again. "I am a man of peace," Mr. Hughes added. "And I stand for American rights, but I am not in favor of risk ing American lives to satisfy the per sonal dislike of a certain man. I do not believe that the American flag is a symbol to beckon Americans home, but should be a symbol of protection to them wherever they honorably are." Mr. Hughes also spoke on the tariff and renewed his attack on the Admin istration for the enactment of the Adamson law. He left here at 11 P. M. for points in Kentucky.

Women were restored to freedom by cash payments by missionaries. Others never returned some who might have done so, being ashamed. Clergymen and converts died as real martyrs be cause they refused to give up their re ligion. Then Turkish rule was established. At one time a bishop and 60 mission aries were taken to the outskirts of the city and shot. Two days later the eld ers of a certain village were driven to cemetery and hacked to pieces. At Salmas 750 men were murdered by their Moslem neighbors. They were in some cases pushed into wells to drown; into dry ones to ' starve, or placed against walls which were then toppled on them. During the ensuing Winter 4000 out of 20,000 persons died of ty phoid or typhus. Fifteen thousand died of disease or the extreme cold. "My mission here, as representative of the patriarch who is now a refugee In Persia, is to save those who are left. The Russians having returned, are very kind to them, but if suffering is to be averted there must be financial aid from some other source. I want to arouse enough interest in the United States to obtain that." ALEXICO, Cal., Oct. 7. (Special.)
