WILSON INJUNCTION CITED Tory Press Disseminating Anti- American Propaganda; Japa nese Reported favored. BY JOSEPH "W. GRIGG. tCopyrieht by the New York World. Pub' lished by arrangement.) LONDON. May 25. (Special Cable.) President Wilson's injunction to con gress to provide retaliatory means to combat discrimination against Ameri can trade, is viewed by free traders as America's answer to the spoonfed sys tern of restricting American manufac turers in the British markets, and also its answer to the policy of imperial preference. The government has promised definite policy regarding imports by September and the matter is being pressed hard by the. free traders. A serious fight is developing against the government's present embargo policy and the resultant bolstering up of high prices. Cnt-Throat Tactics Decried. Beside that faction of big business here which sees in American trade de velopment the worst ogre of the future, there exists a saner business element which is aware that the best way to meet American trade development is not in trybig to attack American trade at all angles, but in mobilizing every business effort to obtain Britain's share of the after-war trade. One of the chief spokesmen of the eaner British element decried to me to day the bad feeling cropping up be tween business men in both countries at the disposal of Poland, which would be allowed to have its own railway connection with that city. LUDENDDRFF ASSERTS GERMAX PROPOSALS REJECTED Han Requests Regarding Saar Basin Held Impossible. WASHINGTON, May 24. The state department tonight made public the text of notes exchanged by Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the Ger man peace delegation, and M. Clemen ceau, president of the peace conference. relative to final disposition or the &arr basin and disposition of its coal prod ucts. The question was first touched in a note by the German delegation dated May 13 and later was made the subject of a distinct communication. May 16. The reply to both notes was handed to the Germans yesterday. The text of the notes shows the sug gestions of the Germans for viva voce discussion of questions concerning the amount of coal to be supplied France and Belgium and the transportation of such supplies, that the concerns nam aged in norttiern France participate by "shares to an extent agreed upon in such German coal mines as are charged with the delivery of coal" and that. In lieu of actual control by the associated be instituted. All were repowers . powers a system of economic guaran tees be instituted. All were rejected summarily. To the proposal that shares In the Saar mines be issued to damagea French concerns, the reply asserts that such shares "situated in German terri tory and subject to German explolta tion would be of doubtful value to French holders and would create confu sion of French and German interests. The most surprising of the proposi tions put forward in regard to the Saar basin is based on an expressed fear that the surplus of coal over and above home reouirements would not suffice for the quantities which the treaty of peace has fixed, and the suggestion is made that the consumption of coal in Germany, France and Belgium be ra tioned in due proportion. M. Clemenceau replied "that no ar rangement of the kind put forward could give to France the security and certainty which she would receive from the full exploitation and free owner ship of the mines of the Saar." The only real concession made to the Germans is to allay the apprehension expressed by Count Brockdorff-Rantzau as to Germany's ability to effect the payment agreed upon. The concession as made In the reply is for the substitution of the following for the present clause governing such and declared that hundreds of big ' payments in the treaty manufacturers believe there is room in the world for both American and British development without the .adop tion of cut-throat tactics. Tory Press Is Violent. There is a certain portion of the tory press which almost daily is disseminat ing anti-American trade propaganda, declaring that America is trying "to scoop the pool" by dumpiag an avalanche of manufactured goods in Great Britain. This portion of the press insists on the most rigid of anti dumping measures. American business interests here have come to the conclusion that certain classes of Japanese goods are admit ted where American goods are re stricted. They point out that figures furnished in parliament last week showed that Japanese manufacturers' imports dur ing the first four months of this year were nearly seven times as great as in 1914. Startling Comparison Made. Parliament was reminded that prices have greatly increased since the war began. Nevertheless the increase cred ited to the Japanese and the decrease charged to the American manufactur rs furnished a startling comparison. Free traders predict a bitter trade war between England and the United States if the British embargoes are not lifted. "The obligation of Germany to make uch payment shall be taken into ac count by the reparation commission nd for the purpose of this payment Germany may create a prior charge upon her assets or revenues upon such etailed terms as shall be agreed to by the reparation commission. If, nevertheless, Germany, after period of one year from the date of which the payment becomes due shall not have effected the said payment, the may be given by the league of nations and, if necessary, by liquidation of that portion of the mines in question." In replying to the German note, M. book, too, is a sorely sensitive subject.

The council of four has completed the Austrian treaty with the excep tion of financial clauses and the south ern boundary, on which some details are still to be straightened out.

BERLIN, May 24. (By the Associated Press.) "The cabinet and Count von Brockdorff Rantzau are in full accord with respect to the general outline and the specific proposals and counter pro posals which will make up the Ger man reply," according to an official statement made today after the return of Phillip Scheidemann, Mathias Erz berger and Count von Bernstorff from Spa. Dr. Bernhard Dernburg remains in Spa. Spa Meeting; Brief. The German answer would be ready Friday, as the only work that is in complete is the co-ordination of text and the technical production of tie document which probably will be type written. The Spa conference, it was especially emphasized this morning, proceeded smoothly and consumed only a few hours, with the result that the under standing between Count von Brock dorff-Rantzau . and the delegates ac companying him, on the one hand, and the Scheidemann and his assistants on the other, disposes definitely of all rumors of serious friction inside the cabinet and among the peace delegates. COPENHAGEN. May 25. Dr. Karl Renner, Austrian chancellor and head of the German-Austrian peace delega tion, has addressed a note to Premier Clemenceau complaining over the delay of the peace conference in submitting the peace terms, which he says "is arousing grave anxiety regarding the maintenance of the peace and order in our fatherland. The note also calls attention to the expense of keeping the delegation abroad and appeals to the peace con f renew to open negotiations as speedi ly as possible. BERLIN, May 24.

America won. the war, according to Field Marshal Ludendorff. who ex pressed, his authoritative opinion very explicitly to me as follows: France and England would have been beaten in 1918 but for America. General Ludendorff's keen, logical analysis led to the laconic statement that "America proved to be the decisive military factor of the war. he Amer ican Treserves swung the decision They alone made it possible to pull the worn-out French and British divisions out of the line and to reorganize over fresh offensive armies." Ludendorff Stands Probe. The loss of the war was a sensitively sore subject about which to question Ludendorff. The correspondent bad to be quick about it, like performing surgical operation without an anaes thetic. But Ludendorff stood the brie probe gamely, not betraying a quiver o emotion. His attitude toward life ap pears to be stand up and talk of the past with stoic dignity as becomes an old soldier. I gathered the distinct impression that Ludendorff has no special love fo America or Americans , but on the other hand is honest enough not to af feet a fake pan-Americanism, prefer ring to regard America as a worthy foe unfortunately encountered on th battlefield. "I have no reason for wanting to flatter Americans, be said to me, "and neither have I any reason for with holding my Just verdict of hate either." Hope Seen In America. Bitter as the realization may be to him, personally, he sees that Germany's sole salvation perhaps lies in regain ing the friendship and in not encourag ing the enmity of America. "Tt in m v wish that the two countries reparation commission shall do so in . may find eacn other again," Ludendorff ccoraance witn sucn instructions as i ..m occurred if the church had been doing its duty," declared Dr. Reid. "The war came as the result of half-baked re- igion disseminated among individuals who had closed their eyes and ears and ceased to grow. Christ was professed, but his professors had no conception of the brotherhood of man. The failure of the church has been Its failure to properly teach those who enter the church. After baptism those who have entered the church in late years nave folded their arms and mere ly bided the time when they should spend eternity in blirs. In reality en tering the church should be entering the school where the will of God is taught. "Ninety per cent of the teachings of the gospel have to do with human relations and the brotherhood of man. For self-preservation, if for no other reason, it behooves us to follow Christ's command and teach his gospel throughout the world. The year's de velopments have put nations into our care. For them we have assumed re sponsibility." Dr. Reid explained the Inter-churcn world movement as a programme of co operative effort which will not require organic union of the various denomi nations. He quoted from the reports ot the Northern Baptist convention and the national Presbyterian assembly, both held last week, to show the atti tude of these two denominations toward closer denominational union. He took for his text the 20th and 21st verses of the 17th chapter of John, emphasis ing Christ's plea, "all may be one, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." This is the true Lord's prayer, said Dr. Reid. "The one that we commonly call the Lord's prayer is in reality the disciple's prayer, but this prayer is truly the greatest in the world. "John wrote his epistle some time after the other disciples had written theirs, and in it he endeavored to lay special stress on matters which might be misunderstood. Christ's reappear ance is among the messages empha sized. John clearly states that Christ's promise of reappearance was not in the blood and flesh way. but in the spir itual sense. Thfe burden of Christ's pe tition is the plea for unity of his fol lowers in him and he in his followers. "The church has overlooked this mes sage in late times when frequent over lappings of denominational work have caused jealousy and hard feelings. We have wasted much in home missions and in the earlier days in foreign mis sions. Now has come to the church the challenge to eliminate waste and com petition and unite. Union does not mean union of doctrine, form of gov ernment or worship, but it does mean co-operative effort based on the one great principle of i the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God." Dr. Reid was former pastor of Trln- ty Presbyterian church in ban Francisco. WILSON CRITICISED; PASTOR MED Medford Congregation Ac claims Anti-Wet Sermon.

He v. Mr. Boozer Tells Hearers Why President's Pro-Liquor Message Thought "Colossal Blunder." MEDTORD. Or., May 25. (Special.) mac f resident Wilson committed colossal blunder in recommending the repeal of the beer and wine ban, was the statement of Rev. L. Myron Boozer preaching at the Presbyterian church here today. "A Colossal Blunder" waa the subject chosen for the morning service and its announcement raised a tremendous furore earlier in the week, some parishioners threatened to resign One member had announced he would ppeal to federal authorities to preven the address on the ground of violation of the espionage act and great pressure was brought to bear upon the pastor to abandon his intention. Rev. Boozer, however, disregarded ail opposition and his determination was rewarded by a record-breaking congregation. In opening his remarks Rev. Boozer declared there waa no political partian- shlp Involved and he deprecated the fact that Wilson partisians should op pose a fair discussion of an issue as Important as that of prohibition. There were five main points made by the speaker, first, the executive act was colossal blunder because it failed properly to estimate the temper of the American public mistaking a noisy mi nority for the sentiment of the ma jority: second, the appeal will tend to slacken the splendid efficiency and so cial stability of the country; third, the request will be so interpreted by the enemies of sobriety as to lead to ex cesses and a Justification of indulgence in light Intoxicants which the speaker maintained were as insidious in their effect as the stronger ones; fourth. coming during the period of reconstruc tion, when high morale and finest qual ities of citizenship are demanded, the appeal will endanger the proper solu tion of pressing social and industrial problems; fifth, that the president in making this appeal has played into the hands of America's enemies, the brew ery interests being involved with the German-American alliance which dur ing the war worked increasingly to promote the success of the central pow ers and hinder the cause of America and her allies. The speaker was frequently inter- urpted by applause. CECIL B. DE MILLE'S MASTERPIECE is now playing to crowded houses here.
