TO SEE (F
PEACE IS - DESIRED
American Diplomats Gather
Information Regarding At
titude of Belligerents.
LABOR HEAD IS ACTIVE, TOO
Samuel Gompers Causes Interest
in Official Circles by Statement
Regarding Confidential Com
munication, From Abroad.
WASHINGTON, Sept- 4 President
TO'llson will continue to get aii informa
tion obtainable through American
diplomatic officers abroad regarding
the attitude toward peace of the na
tions at war.'
The United States will make no
further effort to bring about peace
in Europe until it has received
information that its good offices
will be welcomed by booh sides
in the conflict. This was stated au
thoritatively here Friday in official dis
cussions of the' message from Pope
Benedict, delivered to President Wilson
yesterday by Cardinal Gibbons, as an
nounced yesterday in The Oregonian.
The Pope's message will not be made
public by this Government although
there would be no objection if Cardinal
Gibbons gives It out. Enough of the
contents of the message is known,
however, to give basis for indicating
that Austria, Germany and Turkey are
not averse to discussing 'peace.
In Catholic circles here it was re
ported tonight that the Pope was hope
ful that the United States might make
an effort to get the warring powers to
sign an agreement to enter a peace
conference. Leading Catholics usually
well informed regarding affairs at the
Vatican expressed belief that the finan
cial condition of the principal belliger
ents would force them to consider peace
proposals before the opening of another
Winter campaign.
Interest was shown in official cir
cles In a statement made by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, in a letter sent
yesterday to an organization known as
the Friends of Peace, that labor lead
ers were keeping in constant touch
with workingmen in the nations at
war. Mr. Gompers added that the
American Federation of Labor at .the
proper time would do everything pos
sible to aid in the accomplishment of
peace.
Mr. Gompers has seen Presdent Wil
son within the last week, but today he
refused to say whether the question of
peace had been discussed. He explained
that the communications received from
labor leaders abroad were naturally of
eurh a confidential character that he
could not make them public.
BniTAJjr SCORN'S PEACE terms
Every Englishman Prefers Death to
Indemnity Payment, Is Reply.
CHICAGO. Sept. 4. (Special.) The
Herald is in receipt of a letter from
London which throws a strong light
on the British attitude regarding
peace plans. Jt gives for the first
time Sir Edward Grey's response to
tentative suggestions made about six
weeks ago.
The communication says:
"The position of Sir Edward Grey.
Minister for Foreign Affairs in Great
Britain, in reference to peace terms
of Germany which called for the pay
ment of a heavy indemnity by Great
Britain and France in compensation
for the evacuation of Belgium and
Northern France, was set forth by him
a few weeks ago In response to such
e. proposal.
"The proposal was Informally pre
sented to Sir Edward, but it was known
to have come directly, from and with
the authority of the German govern
ment. On the highest authority it
can be said that the proposal drew
forth the following as the reply of Sir
Edward:
"1. A country to commit a great
crime and then to be paid for com
mitting it would create a precedent
that would be fatal to the fundamental
principles of civilization and interna
tional law.
"2. Payment by Great Britain and
France of an enormous indemnity to
Germany would put thera in the posi
tion of being financially tributary to
Germany and would prevent them from
providing for their national defense,
and this in turn would make them po
litically tributary to Germany. Every
Englishman would sooner die than ac
cept German dictation in Europe.
"S. The very worst and most disas
trous war would be preferable to such a
peace."

GERMAN PRESS PLEASED
SUBMARINE CHANGE, HOWEVER,
I'S.VOTICBD BV MANY PAPERS.
Chief Editor of Tageblatt Says Conflict
With United States Would
Have Been Illogical.
BERLIN, Via London. Sept. 4. The
news of the settlement of the crisis
between Germany and the United
States by reason of Germany modifying
her submarine campaign has as yet
evoked comparatively little comment
in the German press. Public attention
has been conceniratea principally on
the victories In the east and rumors ot
an impending new campaign, so that
little discussion on the American sit
uation 13 being heard.
The Tageblatt and the Frankfurter
Zeitung. however, print leading edito
rial articles which evince hearty sat
isfaction that a conflict with the United
States has been avoided, and express
the hope that the relations between
the two countries from now on will
continue to Improve.
The chief editor of the Tageblatt,
Theodore Wolff, after pointing out that
the situation has been far graver than
was generally assumed In Germany,
argues that the understanding with the
United States was highly desirable, not
only because of the effect which a
break would have had on the Balkan
situation, with its delicate negotia
tions, but because there could be noth
ing more illogical for Germany Imag
inable than a conflict with' the United
States over such a question.
"The submarine Issue," Herr Wolff
says, "which is capable of exercising a
decisive effect upon the final outcome
of the war, could scarcely have been
modified, but the concession that pas
Benger steamers will be torpedoed only
after a warning and after noncombat
ants' safety has been assured, certainly
will not affect so vitally the result."
Kerr Wolff says he hopes and expects
the American people will accept the
attitude of the German government as
trustworthy proof of Its peaceful and
friendly disposition. He hopes, too.
that the American Government will
take into consideration in future steps
against England.
FACTORY SITE . OFFERED
C. LEWIS MEAD TO GIVE FREE
LAND TO PERFUME PLANT.
Manufacturers to Be Invited by Realty
Board, aud Bonus In Location
to Be Promised.
In announcing his programme for
the coming Fall season, F. E. Taylor,
president of the Portland Realty Board,
said at Friday's luncheon at the Com
mercial Club that he hoped to at
tract new industries to Portland by
offering free factory sites. Immediate
ly C. Lewis Mead offered the choice of
East Side and West Side locations for
the establishment of a perfume factory
to utilize the famous Portland rose and
make Portland the Cologne of America.
"I would suggest that this Board re
quest the Chamber of Commerce to
communicate this offer to some of the
leading perfume manufacturers in both
Germany and France.'.' said Mr. Mead,
and. at the same time, ascertain the
choicest variety of Portland rose to
use in the manufacture of perfume.
This type of rose could be propagated
by the city park officials and planted
along the parkings in various resi
dence districts.
"If such an industry were estab
lished in Portland the school children
would have steady employment gather
ing blooms in the Summer months."
At the suggestion of Mr. Mead, the
Realty Board elected S. Benson to hon
orary membership.
President Taylor announced that he
hoped to bring the Board in closer
touch with the property owner by ex
tending honorary memberships to other
leading citizens. A committee of ten
realty men will be appointed to handle
this feature of the board programme.
President Taylor. Secretary Cowgill,
as well as Dean Vincent and J. D. Lee,
who attended the recent convention of
the National Association of Real Estate
Exchanges at Los Angeles, gave re
ports on the convention.

SERBIA AGREES TO
CEDE TO BULGARIA
Reservation Is That Part of
Own Country Touch
Border of Greece.
MORE IS ASKED BY SOFIA
Latter Government In Statement
Stands Out for All Macedonia
and Says War of Uncertain
Outcome Not Desired.
ATHENS, via Paris. Sept. 4. It is
announced here that Serbia has ac
cepted in principle the entente pro
posals for . territorial concessions to
Bulgaria, with the reservation that
the new Serbian frontier remain in
contact with Greece in some part.
. SOFIA. Bulgaria. Sent. 1. via Lon
don. Sept. 4. Despite the fact that a
decision of the Bulgarian govern
ment regarding the Macedonian ques
tion is generally considered imminent,
as it Is realized on all sides that the
time is not far distant when this issue
must culminate in more than diplo
matic conversations, there . are no
signs of excitement here, the capital
remaining in its usual quiet state.
At the Foreign Office today the fol
lowing statement was made to the
Associated Press correspondent:
"The Bulgarian government is en
gaged In formulating Its reply to the
Serbian government, although Serbia's
statement has not yet been received,
being guided in this by an intimation
recently given by the quadruple en
tente. Tnrklnh Negotiations Go On.
"Meanwhile, the Bulgarian govern
ment is .continuing Its negotiations
with the TurkiBh government concern
ing the cession of the Lyptmets-Adri-
anople-Dedeaghatch railroad line and
certain adjacent territories of great
starteglc importance. The prospects
of a quick and satisfactory settlement
are good, although hitherto the Turk
ish government has required much
time in reaching decisions on matters
contributory to the main issue.
"The Bulgarian government Is not in
clined to embark upon an adventurous
career. Now as heretofore, the Bul
garian government is guided by three
factors:
t irst Non-acceptance of the treatv
of Bucharest, which was not ratified by
the national assembly and which is not
acceptable to Bulgaria so long as it
remains unrevlsed.
"Second The unwillingness ot the
Bulgarian people to engage in a war
the outcome of which is at all doubt
ful.
All nt Macedonia Wanted.
"Third The absolute necessity of
convincing the Bulgarian people that
whatever action is undertaken for a
result to be achieved will be such that
no betrayal afterwards will be pos
sible."
From other governmental sources it
was learned that Bulgaria wants all
of Macedonia and not only those parts
made the subject of recent notes by
the quadruple entente.
Meanwhile the entente Dowers insist
that Bulgaria earn these parts by
making war on Turkey, while the
proposals or the central powers never
went further than to assure the free
passage through Bulgaria of materials
needed by Turkey.
MICHIGAN ALUMNI MEET
PORTLAND COMMITTEE TO AID IN
RA1SI.NQ 91,000,000 FOR UNION.
Plan Outlined at Gathering; Called by
Paclfle Coast Organiser and
Purpose Set Forth.
To organize a Portland committee
that will do its share in raising of a
Jl.000,00.0 fund for the University of
Michigan Union, 25 former students of
the Michigan school met Edward H.
Saier, Pacific Coast organize of the
union, at a luncheon at the OreKon
grille Friday to hear of the monster
plan the union has fostered.
The University of Michigan Union,
an idea in 1302, grew to a small active
body by 1904 and three years later be
came such a factor in university life
that the former residence of Judge
Cooley was taken for . headquarters.
Since that time the union has steadily
grown and now has an active, partici
pating membership- of more than 3000
students.
The union exists for a three-fold pur.
pose. "The campus melting pot" is
what Mr. Saier pleases to call it. It is
the center of activity for all student
functions outside athletics, xurnishinsr
a wholesome meeting place and an en
vironment that cannot be gained else
where, it provides a place where the
student and the instructor meet on
common ground and it insures a wel
come for home-coming alumni.
To raise this fund, organisers have
been sent all over the United States
and 187 committees will be formed in
as many cities to raise the union fund.
The former Michigan men who yes
terday met with Mr. Saier laid plans
for the election of a committee to meet
at tue Oregon grille with Mr. Saier
next Tuesday noon.

road executives in the country, visited
Portland Friday on his way to the fair.

Mr. Delano insists that he is touring
the Coast country on pleasure, al
though he does not hestitate to discuss
the financial situation. He was much
interested yesterday in the fluctua
tion in the foreign exchange market,
but he predicted an early readjust
ment that will restore conditions to a
basis approximating the normal.
While In Portland Mr. Delano visited
his friend A. L. Mills, president of the
First National Bank, who was a class

EARLY DAYS -RECALLED
Lang Syne Society Has Family
Party and Tales Are Told.
Portland may be a city of electric
lights, paved streets traveled by thou
sands of automobiles and lined with 12
and 14-story buildings, but to the mem
bers of the Lang Syne Society it is
loved most as a small village of two
or three frame dwellings huddled to
gether on Front and First streets and
entirely surrounded by animal-infested
forests. i
The members of the Lan k Syne So
ciety are those business men ot Port
land who were in business in this city
before 1891. Such men as J. K. Gill,
General C F. Beebe, James F. Failing.
George H. Himea, F. E. Beach. Frank
Dayton and 400 others form the Lang
Syne Society.
Friday night at the Portland Heights
clubhouse these men and their wives
met and talked of the time when Port
land was a village of a few hundred
people. No formal programme had been
arranged. It was a big family party.
J. K Gill, the president of the society,
presided and called attention to the
fact that the society was but three
years old and should be a mighty fac
tor in keeping Portland's oldest citizens
closer together. Mr. Gill recalled how
he was warned by all his business
friends that if he removed his store
from Front street to First street he
would surely fail.
G. A. Mooney, formerly of this city
but now in business in New Tork, told
of his first endeavors to establish a
millinery store in this city.
George H. Himes exhibited pictures
of Portland from its one-cabin begin
ning to the present time.
At the conclusion of the' pictures
light refreshments were served.

Portland theatrical man who "busted"
the trust a few years ago, and J. B.
(Jack) Lewis, of Seattle, were married

the Corner" In New York, but the news
of it has only reached Portland. Their

land and Seattle, New York and Chi
cago, is co-lessee with Mr. Lewis - in
"The Birth of a Nation" film and Mr.
Lewis telegraphed him a few days ago:
"Will film show? I'll get married if It
does; can't otherwise. Can I afford to
take a wife?"
Mr. McCormick telegraphed back:
You may take a couple of them If
you think best. The film is going to
do big business."
Mr. Lewis Is well known In Portland

number of theatrical . enterprises,
among which were "The Rose of Pana
ma," "The Candy Shop" and "The En
chantress" featuring Kitty Gordon.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will be in Port
land today or tomorrow, en route to Se
attle to live.
POLITICIAN'S VIEWS UNIQUE

PHILADELPHIA. Sect- 1. If vou are
25 years -old, born or naturalized an
American citizen, not dispossessed of
the right to vote by conviction or high
treason or something else: if you are
all this and you yearn for fame and
power, and If you have bulky oodles of
money, and if you don't care how you
spend it, listen to the buzz of the little
Mayoralty bee:
A certain citizen, who owns and con
trols one (1) vote, and holds no alle

Opportunity. the most . persistent
knocker the world has ever known, the
only knocker who makes a -living out
of knocking. In effect, this Citizen
Opportunity saith, in a letter to the
Mayor:
"Trot out the man who can kill mos
quitoes In Philadelphia. Trot, pace,
single step, gallop or canter him out,
I say. Bring him forward. Produce
him. Let the spotlight shine upon him.
Call an officer and get his nama and
address. Shout lame from the house
tops, and never mind the rest.
And when the dawn of another elec
tion day shall have appeared, I shall go
forth clothed with a righteous deter
mination and the usual garments re
quired in civilized communities and
vote for him as Mayor -of this here City
of Philadelphia. Not only will I do it.
but I Know many more mosauito-eored
citizens who will go forth in the same
way and cast their ballots for him."
Ridiculously simple, isn't it? All vou
have to do is be able to kill off all the
mosquitoes in Philadelphia. And if you
don't know how this may be done, ask
tne health officials. They will explain
that all you need is money and the
ability, in the parlance of the street,
to loosen up.
So many barrels of petroleum, bought
for so many dollars at wholesale rates:
so many ditches to drain off swamps;
so many loads of dirt to fill in the
same, and your campaign pledges are
redeemed.
As for the campaign, it is bulginir
with possibilities. Think of a. float
containing the effigy of a mosquito.
magnuiea io.ouo times. You could
stand on the float with a long dagger
in your nana ana. as you exhorted the
multitude to vote for you, stab the

SENATOR TELLS JACKSON CLUB OF
HELPLESSNESS IN ATTACK.
"Any Little Nation Could Land on Oar
Shores and Exact Tribute," Is
Declaration Wilson Landed.
"If there are any persons in this
audience who do not want the United
States to have a good ,Navy, who do
not want this country to be prepared
in any way .for war, who do not want
us to have fortresses and enough
trained soldiers to defend ourselves
against attack, I wish to congratulate
them, for that is exactly the condi
tion that exists today," said United
States Senator Harry Lane, in an In
formal talk before the Jackson CluD
last night.
"We would be helpless if the con
queror in the European war chose to
attack us," said the Senator. "We
could not even repel the attack of
any little nation that was equipped
with any kind of a fighting force.
They could land on our shores and ex
act tribute, or do anything elso they
wanted to.
"Something must be done to
strengthen our defenses, that is cer
tain. We must be more prepared. I
am on a committee that has something
to do with our defenses, and I tell you
the condition is absolutely pitiful."
The Senator declared that he was
not in favor of a large standing army.
"But I do want to see enough of
our young men trained in arms," he
added, "so that if the time does come
when they are needed we will have
an army of trained soldiers large
enough to defend ourselves.
"It should be against the law for
these men to have anything to do with
settling local disturbances. That should
be made treason. Let them be pre
pared for National defense, not for ag
gression nor anything else but defense
at our own borders."
Frederick V. Holman addressed the

Both he and Senator Lane paid high

and thought that probably her sister
had lost a picture, which had fallen
into some person's hands, who, for
some obscure reason, had treasured it.
She pointed out that her sister's name
was not "Nell," but It was suggested
that often good friends called each
other by names that were not their

died. She left two young children.
The young man who fell in battle and

Mrs. Rayner's sister said she never
knew any Canadian, and she did not
know that Mrs, Rayner had ever known
any one from Canada, either.

taken at the Lipp studio in this city.

TURKS LOOK FOR WORST
GERMAN SUCCESS DOUBTED NOW IN
CONSTANTINOPLE, SAYS REPORT.
Kaiser's Officers No Longer Arrive ta
Train Troops and Failure of
Roumnnla Deal Expected.
PARIS, Sept. 4 A dispatch to the
Havas Agency from Bucharest, dated
September 1, says:
"Constantinople telegrams say that
the committee on union and progress
Is beginning to have doubts as to the
tinal victory of Germany and is con
sidering the consequences of defeat. It
has given orders that Greeks and
Bulgarians be treated with all con
sideration. Other foreigners. Including
belligerents, are closely watched, but
are not being molested.
"No more German artillery engineer
ing officers are arriving and attempts
are being made to train Turkish officers-
to replace them. These attempts
are meeting with only little success.
- "The great fear in Turkish official
circles is that Bulgaria will refuse the
agreement proposed, and that Germany
will fail In her negotiations with
Roumanla for the- transit of munitions.
The opinion in Constantinople generally
Inclines to pessimism."
