GERMAN SUBMARINES'"
SEND 48 VESSELS TO
j BOTTOM IN TEN DAYS
Greatest Fleet of Divers Since
f War .Opened Operating All
Around British Isles,
' 1 TInited Pms Leased Wire.)
London, June 12. The greatest fleet
of German submarines assembled since
. the beginning of the war is now op
e rating around the British Isles. In the
rast-10 days 48 vessels are known to
heve-been sunk In the rar sonet" pro-
claimed by the -German admiralty, in-
shipping circles it was stated tonight
that unquestionably some smaller yes-
- sels ttmaecountet for - have been' ' sent
- to the bottom'- by submarines. It is
i rossible that the! r cf ewe either sank
with their ships or that "their small
boats capsized; while they? were at
tempting to reach shore. ;
1 Of ' todays yictlma the largest "was
the -3027-ton Canadian steamer Leuctra,
bound for English ports from Buenos
Aires1 and torpedoed off the East coast.
She was f rom the port of St. Johns,
- K. B.i and had ; been engaged ' in ' the
. Atlantic ' trade.- Her, crew of 28 was
landed, on the East coast. '
Tbe ;L.euctra was torpedoed without
'warning and sank within less than half
. an hour. Her crow took- to the boats
and was picked up an hour later by
the Bteamer -William Mason. '
Hew Submarine Fleet.
From several reliable sources' the
report has been confirmed - that since
: the beginning of the war Germany has
p launched a flotilla of submarines, sur
' - passing - both!: in crtri sing radius and
speed any thingr, heretofore designed by
. any naval power. The report that the
, German submarine that torpedoed the
- Majestic and Triumph at the Darda-
nellts actually TQJdo the 5000 mile
V -Journey, to Constantinople by . water is
v now; accepted as true,
r pesidte the Increasing activities of
the YW boats, it is asserted tonight
that s the new tampalgn - ta terrorize
British and neutral shipping has been
a. complete failure. Sailings and ar
rivals at British points show no fall
ing off and Insurance companies have
made no .public announcement "of any
increase- In insurance rates on ships
: tod cargoes traversing the submarine
, sons.' H -, ,
; Urivea Prom Channel.
Otl the oontrarj', it was pointed out
here, tonight that indiscriminate tt
tacks on cargo ships bound for ISng-
land is steadily increasing the hostility
K to Germany in neutral conntries.
,:, ,The , admiralty .has made public no
more details concerning the sinking of
- the German submarine, reported by
- First Jrd 6f the Aamiralty Balfour.
; It la-no secret; however, that the ad
i mlralty leeU measures -already 'infuse
and others-about to be resorted to.
v. eventually will curb the operations of
the submarines. . .
la the last 10 days the German syb
- tacrslblles have been active, princinallv
r . til the North sea ajid off the southwest
' coast of Ireland, near where'the Lusi
tania was sunk. This is taken to mean
! here that counter measures- taken by
the admiralty, have made It extremely
. " difficult for the. Eubmarines to Der

DISTINCTIVE FEATURE
Thousands Surged Through

Proves Pleasing.
By unanimous verdict f the peeplc
of , Portland the ISJB'Rose Festival
that came to a close Friday night was
the greatest and lnost successful " In
the - nine years ? that' formal .annual
homage, has been paid to the rose.
This broad statement does not mean
that other festivals, have not been suc
cesses, but it means that the 1915 of
fering progressed - more toward the
Ideal. ...I;--' '
The principal reason for this success
lies in the fact that every man. woman
and child entered into the spirit of the
occasion. Cooperation j between the
board of Roue Festival governors, the
actual participants - in me program
events "and the people at large -made
for ev democratic season ot . rejoicing
and fiesta where all rubbed elbows in
eial ting Portland's flower, the rose.v -
That .everything came .off as - plan
ned without a; hitch, that' the great
throngs had a good time,' that they be
came thoroughly imbued with the fes
tival spirit, that visitors went" home
with as feeling- of admiration for Port
land and love for Its roses was due
largely- te the fact- thai representative
board of 13 governors gave unsparing
ly of their energies, their talents and
their business ability- at a great per
sona.! sacrifice. f ? i : - -
That the festival differed radically
in tone and spirit .from-previous fes
tivals -was ue to the fact,, that the
go-ftrnors ' hitched their wagon to a
star, risking jpopular disapproval and

BRYAN DEN1ESCHARGE
OF INCONSISTENCY
FAILING TO SIGN NOTE
Former Secretary Issues An-
y other . Statement Defend
ing His Position.
' IThlt1 Tree leased Wlre.l . . -Washington,-June
12. Former. Secre
tary of State Bryan tonight denied all
allegations that he was -inconsistent in
lieJlPVMh uote. t Uefmany,
the Xusitanta communication, andT"' in
refusing to sign the rejoUtder Jiov be
fore the kaiser and his government.:
He carefully explained that when he
signed; the two first note he. was ex
pecting ; that, the United States 'would
take steps which Would make it .easy
for Germany Mo comply, v The steps
he desired were acceptance of tne ar
bitration plan: agreement to i warn
American eltisensi? to keep off steam
ers carrying munitions, and sending a
note to Great Britain . protesting
against; ber restricting the freedom ;of
the seas. He stuck to his Ideas up. to
the last, he said, and when they final
ly were rejected there was nothing for
him to do. and remain consistent,, nut
to refuse to sign the final note.
Incidentally, Bryan confirmed the
report that the latest note was modi
fied after h had-tendered , his -resignation,
.but he explained " that the
modifications -were not sufficient for
him to have withdrawn his 'resigna
tion. '
, Toophole Given Germaoiy. . :
The chief modification; in the note,
it was learned tonight, was " to open
a loophole for Germany - In. connec
tion with the LiUsltania. As original
ly drawn, the rejoinder In disposing
of all German contentions that the
liner was an armed auxiliary cruisfcr,
carrying munitions, illegally, and
transporting Canadian reservists, cha--acterized
them as irraveiant. At Bry
an's '-suggestion, it was understood,
there was finally written' - into the
note the : following paragraph :
"If the Imperial German government
should deem Itself to be in possession
of convincing evidence that the offi
cials of the government of the United
States did not perform these duties (in
spection of ocean steamers to enforce
their observation of neutrality) with
thoroughness, ' the government of the
United States sincerely hopes that it
vill submit that evidence for consider
ation." v
. ?Wtiile -this was a distinct concession
to Germanyllnasmuch as it saved her
pride, Bryan distinctly states tonight
that the note did not go far enough at
any time to warrant him signing it., (
auvsrs Hsvspspsr OrlUcs.
- Mjp attention has been 'called to sv
number of newspaper articles and edi
torials which, in varying language,
ask the question:
"Why did Mr; Bryan sign the first
note . to Germany and refuse, to sign
the secondT -
The argument presented in the ques
tion is based upon the supposition that
the two notes were substantially, the
same and the second note simply re
Iterated the demands contained in he
first. They then' declare it inconsis
tent to sign the. one and then, to refuse
to sign the ether The difference be
tween the nates is evident enough" to
make an answer t unnecessary,, but.
lest silence on .the' subject be taken,
as an admission -of Inconsistency.' the
following explanation Is given;
' The notes must be -considered in
connection with circumstances under
which they were sentf The first rtote
presented, the case of ; this government
on evidence ; which; we thenr had. i ' It
was like" the? plaintiff's 'Statement 'iii

the .facts a be presents them. did
not sgree entirely with the lan guage
of the" first note, but the -"dAfference
was not so material as to justif y a re
fusal to sign it. Then, too, at- that
time I, was hoping that certain things
would be done which would make it
easier for Germany to acquiesce to our
demands. - The three things which X
had In mind, which.' in tny judgment
would have helped the siuatlon, were:
. "First, i an -announcement on -' our
part .that we were willing to apply the
principle embodied . in -our4 80- arbitra

practical mandate which President
Wilson sent, to all the Mexican revc.
lutlonary leaders to get together an 1
save the country from starvation, wan
made. public by the state department
this evening. '
The statement Is regarded as a bid
for recognition. Carransa asserts that
opposition to his government practi
cally has been overthrown and that
nine-tenths of the population of tha
whole country is now under his au
thority. 'Vf V'; .'.- :-..'
Wants to Hold r lection.
He expects, he says. In; at short time
to regain control of Mexico City and
promises that when he. does he wiit
convoke elections for the selection of
a national congress. The congress so
elected will then Issue a call for the
election of a president and to the pres
ident so chosen he will resign his au
thority ss first chief of the revolution.
Meanwhile he calls upon! all faction
to submit to his authority. He does
not promise that . ha will hot be a can

The sUtement of Carranza in about
8000 words In length, but the firmt
1000 words are devoted to the raum
which gave rise to the constitutional -1st-
movement, ' In his . historical re
view Carraasstmakee tast interest
ing reference to the activity of former
American Ambassador Henry lantt
Wilson. Speaking of the assassination
of Madero, be says: I
' "Thin treason was consummated' by
General Haerta upon pretext of rpar
lng the city of Mexico the horrors of
war, and with the cooperation of a
group of foreigners favored by the olj
regime who surrounded Henry Lnnu
Wilson." ' V j

The important part of hi statement
is 'that he discusses present conditions
In Mexico and outlines his policy for
the future. He says: i j -
"With reference to our foreign rela
tione, notwithstanding ihat one of
my-first acts was the , sending of a
telegraphic note to the department of
state of the American government. In
forming it of my attitude facing re
bellion and usurpation, j one of the
greatest difficulties which has hind
ered our labors has been the luck of a
mutual understanding lietween. th
government which lvhsve tlie honor
to represent and the governments of
the other nations, especially that, of
the United States. .
Will Protect Poreigners.
I think, therefore, that the time hat
come, to call the attention of tbe rai
tions which still persist in armed re
sistance against the constitutionalist
government to the futility; of their la
titude.. Consequently, I exhort lhms
factions to submit themselves to ths
Constitutionalist government. In or
der to realize the purpoae above tah.d,
I have thought It necessary to inform
the nation of the" political! course that
the Constitutionalist government win
observe in the execution of the pro
gram of social reform contained In thu
decree of the twelfth of December,
1914. . " I
. "Wrst The Constitutionalist gov ernment
will grant the foreigners resi

they are entitled, according; to nurlaw
and will amply protect their lives anl
