There Is going on at the present time In Europe a struggle whleja ar rests the. attention of the world; great nations are engaged in the mightiest conflict of history.- Men are being ? mowed down and trampled under , foot like grass; cities are being destroyed; fertile valleys laid waste; families have been broken, husbands and ath- era gone forth to war never to. return. The farmer has become the soldier; the bayonet has replaced the ulckle; Instead of peace we have war. In the face of this terrible spectacle, as a nation we stand for peace, with all that peace means in happy contrast to the horrors of war. Let ua u lndt- -i. vlduals and eltlzwis work together to i spread the doctrine of peace, with a determination to enforce it so far as ''f each, individually, may have opportu nity. Let us realize the fact that peace will come ultimately only as we be come unselfish, only as each man con siders his brother's interest as well aa I Ills own. To that end, I hereby request the people of the city of Portland to Join in observing the wck of October 4th to 10th as "Peace week." and that San 1 day, October 4, be especially set aside as a day of pray for peace.

' SEIZURE OF AMERICAN IS CONFERENCE SUBJECT Copper Bound for Germany Taken as Contraband; All Foodstuffs to Holland Safe (United Press Leased WlreJ -' 'Washington, Oct. 1- It was learned from an official source here today that Sir Edward Grey, England's for eign minister, and Ambassador Page either today or 'tomorrow will discuss In London questions arising ' from Great "Britain's announced intention of seizing goods which may be classed as conditional contraband of war even when such shipments are carried in American ships and consigned to neu tral porta The first case to be con sidered here by the state department Is the j seizure of shipments of copper, conslghed to Germany. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, called at the state depart ment j yesterday and explained that two cargoes of copper shipped from the United States to the Krupp gun works c in Germany via Holland had been Seized and diverted to England. He said it was, believed the copper was to be used In the construction of torpedoes and that It came distinctly under the classification .of conditional contraband. Payment for the full val ue of the cargoes has been remitted to the American shippers and it is understood that a similar course would be pursued in such cases in the future. , England notified the United States that it would not Interfere with ship ments of foodstuffs from America to Holland in neutral bottoms. After a conference here today be tween Ambassador Spring-Rice and Secretary of State Bryan, the state department Issued the following state ment: "It Js understood the British gov ernment Intends to revise the procla mation regarding contraband and that meanwhile, in neutral ships, goods such as foodstuffs consigned to Hol land will not be treated as contra band." It wag understood that whenever the British raise the question of the des tination of American goods, the show ing of clearance papers to Holland ports will be considered sufficient. It was denied that Ambassador Spring Rlce had advised the state department that England Intended to seize condi tional contraband destined for Ger many and Austria even though such consignments are carried In American hips and consigned to neutral ports. Ambassador Page cabled the state department that his conference In London today with Foreign Minister Grey was "quite satisfactory." This was interpreted as meaning that Eng land .had granted concessions or assur ances preventing embarrassing results.

The Irish constabulary was said to be investigating the posting of a pla card in the Dungs n.non district which read: "Germany is nothing to us in her self, but she isn't our enemy. Our blood and our miseries are not upon her head. But who can forbear ad miration at the spectacle of the Ger manic people, whom England has ringed about with enemies, standing alone, undaunted and defiant against the world in arms. If they fall, they win fall as. nobly as ever people fell, and we Celts may not forbear to hon or a race that knew how to live and how to die as men. We,' too, in Ire land, were once .men.
