THE MORNING OREGONIATT, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1G, 1917. 5 PEACE MOVE FAILS TO WIN DIPLOMATS Pope's Plan Regarded as Un likely to Change Atti tude of Entente. REPLY IS BELIEVED DUTY Answer More Comprehensive Than Mere Acknowledgment of Re ceipt Is Probable; Wilson Is Inspected to Voice Stand. WASHINGTON, Aug". 15. Confer ences among entente diplomats today crystallized into coi. iction the opinion here that Pope Benedict s peace move not likely to change in any sub stantial degree the "attitude either of the allies or the American Government. It Is agreed, however, that there must be made a .espouse to tht- Pope's proposal far more comprehensive than a mere acknowledgement of receipt. To do this without opening the field to argument, which might result in developing differences between the al lies to be seized upon by the Ger mans, is realized to be a difficult and delicate undertaking. On the oiher hand, boc.s considera tion is being given to the sugg' tion that the pontiff has given President Wilson a golden, opportunity again to impres3 upon the American people and the world in the most convincing fash Jon the rectitude of his position in recommending to Co lgress the declara tion o a. state of war with Germany. Secretary Lansing is reserving any expression of opinion -. ntil he has the official text of the Pope's message. Experience has taught him that often traps are concealed in diplomatic com munications that are not visible in any abstract. I'opc'a Kalth. "Vot Doubted. "While there is no disposition to ques tion the good faith jt the T'ope, it is conceivable that he might be imposed upon by German curtning, assuming tbat he has ben. induced to take this step through the pleas of the strong Catholic elements in Austria and Bavari. . The official text had not reached Wasniugton tonight, but that fact did not prevent various iiplomatic comer euces on the subject. Mr. Lansing talked durijg the d9y separately witli Ambassador Jusserand. of France, and Colvillo Barclay, ci .rge of the British Kmbassy, in the .bsence of Ambassa dor Spring-Rice. These talks may be regarded as pre-limir-r;- to the more formal excliant-S expected to take place among the al ilea powe:: Detore answers are re turned to the Vatican proposals, and It is understood the.' a;- designed to place the foreign offices in London and Paris in possession of the iieneral views of Secretary Landing r.s a basis for their own actions. Ambassador Kiano.of Spain. also talked with the Secretary, who afterward in dicated that he thought the Pope's message might reach him through that channel. Curb on Senators Desired. In anticipation of an outburst of peace talk at the Capitol, plans were made during .e day by Senate leaders, both Democratic and Republican, to prevent open discussion of the subject in the Senate. They propose to f -ce executive sessions and close the doors upon the beginning by any Senator of an address' bearing on peace negotia tions or the general subject of peace. This programme and other measures to deal with various pending peace resolutions and future speeches prob ably will be discussed with president Wilson within the next few days. An executive session of the Senate was planned late today to consider closing the doors for peace debate, but the matter went over, probably until .tomorrow. Again today the fact appeared that without exception every representative of the entente allied powers is bitterly opposed t that phase of the Pope's proposals wnicn would, leave to the fate of a round-table conference the dispostions of such questions as Alsace Lorraine, Poland and Italia lrredehtia, and it Tas recalled that precisely that bait was held out by Chancell ir cseinmann-noiiweg more tuan a year ago, when he realized that the German wave of invasion had reached its h light ana that the line might be expected to now backward. BRITISH STAND REITERATED ,Xlojd George Insists on Victory of j Democracy Over Aggression. LOMJOrs. Aug. la. Premier Lloyd George, speaking today at a luncheon In honor of Premier W. A. Holman, of Is'ew South Wales, declared that Great .Britain was fighting for one thing and that was -a "victory of democracy over aggression. All other things wrapped up In the programme of no matter what party. me .tsntisn rremier said, were unat tainable unless the entente allies won. There was nothing in the programme of labor which could be attained if the entente allies were beaten. There was room within the orbit of the British Empire, he declared, for the federation of all its peoples providing one for inidable obstacle was removed that of aggressive German militarism. ' r ROME, Tuesday. Aug. 14. The peace proposals of Pope Benedict were en tirely in his own handwriting. The Pope consulted Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary or state; Archibishop Ceretti, assistant papal secretary of Mate, and Monseigrnor Tedeschini, papal under secretary of state, in formulating the documents. The Corriere d'ltalla, semi-official organ of the Vatican, says that in the Court of Arbitration destined to avoid future conflicts, the pontifical au thority will be worthy of being repre sented, being a guarantee of the disin terested protection of the interests of the peoples. PEACE OR WAR? ASKED (Continued From First Page.) officers, instead of being nobles, came from no one knew where. He then re ferred to the efforts to starve out Ger many and keep out milk from that na tion and declared, before he would allow his family and grandchildren to starve, that he .would blow up Windsor Castle and the whole royal family of England. International Lair Disregarded. We then had a Ionic discussion in detail of the whole submarine question, in the course of which the .Emperor said that the submarine had come to stay; that it was a weapon recognized by all countries and that he had seen a picture of a proposed giant sub marine in an American paper, the Scientific American. He added that, anyway, there was no longer any in ternational law. To this last statement Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg agreed. Ha further said that a person on an enemy- merchant ship was like a man traveling on a cart behind the battlelines he had no just cause of complaint if Injured. He asked me why we had done nothing to Eng land because of her alleged violation of international law why we had not broken the British blockade! I. S. Makes o Promlnes. In addition to the technical argu ments based on international law, I answered that no note of the United States had made any general charge of barbarism against Germany; that we complained of the manner of the use of submarines and nothing more. I said that we could never promise to do anything to England or any other country in return for a promise from Germany, or from any third country. to keep the rules of international law and r-spect the rights and lives of our citizens; that wo were only demand ing our rights under the recognized rules of international law, and it was for us to decide which rights we would enforce first. As I had already told the Chan cellor, if two men entered my grounds and one stepped on my flower beds and the other killed my sister. I should probably first rursue the mur derer of my sister. Referring to the Emperor's simile, I said that those traveling on the seas in enemy mer chant ships were in a different posi tion from those traveling in a cart be hind the enemy's battle lines on land, because the land travelers were on enemy's territory, while those on the seas were on territory which, beyond the three-mile limit, was free and in no sense enemy territory. We also discussed the position taken by the German government in one of the Frye notes, in which the German law expert had taken the position that a cargo of food destined for an armed enemy port was presumed to be for the armies of the enemy and, there fore, contraband. The Emperor spoke of the case of the Dacla with some bitterness, but when I went into an explanation the Chancellor joined in the conversation and said that our position was undoubtedly cc.r.cL I said that It was not our business to break the blockade that there were I lnty of German agents in the United States who could send food ships and test the question. I recounted the case of one ship 1 knew of, the Wilhelmina, laden with food, which had been seized by the British, who then compromised with the o.ners, paying them, I be lieved, a large sum for the disputed cargo. And, in taking up the doctrine of the ultimate destination of goods, 1. e.. goods sent to a neutral country, but really destined for a belligerent. I said I believed that during our Civil War we had taken, as against England, exactly the same stand which England now took. I said that I thought one of the decisions ot our Supreme Court was based on a shipment to Mata moras, Mexico, but this the Supreme Court had decided was really for the Confederacy. Lnaltanln Warnlns; Not Justification. Discussing the submarine question, the Emperor and Chancellor spoke of the warning given in the Lusitania case. Finally I said: "If the Chan cellor warns me not to go out on the Wilhelmplatz, where I have a perfect right to go, the fact that he gave the warning does not justffy him in killing me if 1 disregard his warning and go where I have a right to go." The con versation then became more general; we finally left the garden and went into the chateau, where the Emperor's aids and guests were impatiently wait ing for lunch. The President, during my visit to America in 1916. Impressed upon me his great Interest in the Belgians deported to Germany. The action of Germany in thus carrying a great part of the male population of Belgium Into virtual slavery had roused great indignation in America. As the revered cardinal par ley said to me a few days before my departure. "You have to go back to the times of the Medes and the Persians to find a like example of a whole people carried into bondage.' Mr. Grew had made representations about this to the Chancellor, and on my return I immediately took up the question. 1 was Informed that It was a mili tary measure: that Ludendorff had feared that the British would break through and overrun Belgium, and that the military did not propose to have a hostile population at their backs who might cut the rail lines of communica tion, telephones and telegraphs, and that for this reason the deportation had been decided on. I was, however, told that I might have permission to visit these Belgians. The passes, how ever, which alone made such visiting possible, were not delivered until a lew days before I left Germany. Rules of War Violated. SJpveral of these Belgians who were put to work in Berlin managed to get away and came to see me. They gave me a harrowing account of how they had been seized in Belgium and made to work in Germany at making muni tions to be used, probably, against their own friends. I said to the Chan cellor: "There are Belgians employed in making shells contrary to all rules of war and The Hague conventions. He said: "I do not believe it." I said: "My automobile is at the door. I can take you to where 30 Belgians are working on the manufacture of shells in four minutes." But he did not find time to sro. Americans must understand that the Germans will stop at nothing to win this war. and that the only thing they resneet 1 force. While I was in America Von Jagow had fallen, as had. been predicted by his enemies in Berlin, and had given place to Zimmermann. I remained a day In Copenhagen In order to arrange for the transportation to Germany of the three tons of food which I had brought from New York and also in order to lunch with Count Rantzau. the German Minister, a most able diplomat. Mr. Grew Is Praised. Therefore the President's peace note arrived in Berlin Just ahead of me and was delivered by Mr. Grew a few hours before my arrival. Joseph C. Grew, of Boston, was next in command during all my stay in Berlin. He most ably carried on the work of the embassy durine- mv absence on the trip to Amer lea in the Autumn of, 1916. and at all times was of the greatest assistance to me. I hope to see him go far in his career. This note was dated December 18 1916. and was addressed by the Secre tary of State to the American Ambas sadors at the capitals of the belliger ent powers. It commenced as follows: "The President directs me to send you the following communication to h presented immediately to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the government to which you are accredited: Peace Suggestions Made. "The President of the United States has instructed, me to suggest to the (here is Inserted a designation of the government addressed) a course of ac tion in regard to the present war which he hopes that the government will take under consideration as suggested in the most friendly spirit," etc. In the note which was sent to the central powers it was stated: "The suggestion which I am instruct ed to make the President has long had it in mind to offer. He is somewhat embarrassed to offer it at this particu lar time because it may now seem to have been prompted by a desire to play a part In connection with the recent overtures of the central powers." Of course the President thus referred to the address made by Bethmann Hollwcg in the Reichstag In December, in which, after reviewing generally the military situation, the Chancellor said: "In a deep moral and religious sense of duty toward this nation, and beyond it toward humanity, the Emperor now considers that the moment has come for official action toward peace. His Majesty, therefore, in complete har mony and in common with- our allies, decided to propose to the hostile pow ers to enter peace negotiations." German Kote Sent Out. And the Chancellor continued, saying that a note to this effect had been transmitted that morning to all hostile powers through the represenatives of these powers to whom the interests and rights of Germany in the enemy states had been intrusted, and that, therefore, the representatives of Spain, the United States and Switzerland had been asked to forward the note. Coincidentally with this speech of the Chancellor's, which was December 12, 1916, the Emperor sent a message to the commanding Generals reading as follows: "Soldiers: in agreement with the sovereigns of my allies, and with the consciousness of victory, I have made an offer of peace to the enemy. Whether It will be accepted is still un certain. Until that moment arrives you will fight on." I return to the President's note. The President suggested that early occasion be sought to call out from all the nations now at war an avowal of their respective views as to the terms upon which the war might be con cluded, and the arrangements which would be deemed satisfactory as a. guarantee against its renewal. He called the attention of the world to the fact that, according to the state ments of the statesmen of the bellig erent powers, the objects which all sides had in mind seemed to be the same. And the President finally said that he was not proposing peace or even offering mediation, but merely proposing that soundings be taken in order that all nations might know how near the haven of peace might be for which all mankind longed. Shortly after the publication of this note Secretary Lansing gave an inter view to the representatives of the American press in which he stated that America was very near war. This In terview he later explained. Keellns of FVtendfihlp Expressed. As soon as possible after my return to Berlin I had interviews with Zim mermann and the Chancellor. Zimmer mann said that we were such personal friends that he was sure that we could continue the work as we had in the past in a frank and open manner, put ting all the cards upon the table and working together in the interests of peace. I, of course, agreed to this and it seemed, on the surface, as if everything would go smoothly. Although the torpedoing of the Ma rina, without warning, while I was in the United States, had resulted in the death of a number of Americans on board, nevertheless, there seemed to be an inclination on the part of the Government and people of the United States to forget this incident provided Germany would continue to keep her pledges given in the Sussex note. Dur ing all the period of the war in Ger many I had been on good terms with the members of the government, namely, the Chancellor, von Jagow, Zimmermann and the other officials of the Foreign office, as well as with Helfferich. Doctor Solf. the. Colonial Minister; Kaempf. the president of the Reichstag; and a number of influential men of Germany such as von Gwinner. of the Deutsche Bank; Gutmann, of the Dresdner Bank; Dr. Walter Rathenau, who for a long time was at the head of the department for the supply and conservation of raw mate rials; General von Kessel, Over Com mander of the Mark of Brandenburg in spite of many tiffs with him over the treatment of prisoners: Theodor Wolff, editor of the Tageblatt: Pro fessor Stein, Maximilian Harden and many others. Chancellor In Attacked. TTor a long time the fight waged by the Chancellor was America's fight and a fight for peace, co much so that the newspapers fcrhich attacked the Chan cellor were the same ones that had attacked President Wilson. America and Americans in general, and very often included me in their attacks, During every crisis between America and Germany I had acted with von Jagow and Zimmermann in a most con fidential way, looking .forward always to one object, namely, the preservation of peace between our respective coun tries. Many suggestions were made which, I think, up to that time, mate rially aided In the preservation of peace. The Chancellor and the Foreign Of fice, however, through sheer weakness, did nothing to prevent the insults to our flag and President perpetrated by the League of Truth, although both under the law and the regulations of the State of Siege this gang could not operate without the consent of the authorities. MINERS ORDERED TO WORK Union Official Agrees With Oper ators That Contract Is Broken. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 15. Fol lowing a meeting of the Illinois dis trict executive board of the United Mine Workers, Frank Farrington. dis trict president, tonight sent telegrams to the presidents of 58 local miners' unions ordering the striking miners to resume work immediately under pen alty of suspension from the union. Farrington's action was taken as a result of the ultimatum issued yester day by the state mine operators, which charged the unions with breaking a wage agreement by the strike.

Delay Occurs Only In Two Pennsylvania Districts, "Where Local Fight Hampers) President. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Preparation for mobilization of the first of the Na tional Army forces beginning Septem ber 5, are going forward without seri ous delay, according to information reaching the office of Provost Marshal- General Crowder. There are only a few districts where any loss of time in getting the first 30 per cent of the men entrained for their cantonments is ex pected. Some delay may occur in Pennsyl vania. Two district exemption boards in that have not been appointed by the President and the local selection boards in these two areas cannot mus ter their men or complete any step of mobilization until the district boards have acted on the lists awaiting consid eration. Delay in appointment is due, it is understood, to the necessity for in vestigating local differences of opinion as to who should compose the board. Except for these cases the organiza tion work of the Provost Marshal-Gen eral's office has been virtually com pleted. Only minor supplemental rul ings are expected from now on, as all the many points that have arisen have been ironed out and a definite policy established for the local and district boards to fit almost any circumstances.
