President Wilson, in Address
Before League to Enforce

of League of Nations.

TO ACT AS PEACEMAKER
Secret Councils, Out of Which
. War Springs Suddenly,
Must Go, He Says.
'.Washington, May 27. (U. P.)
President Wilson tonight unreservedly
indorsed the formation of a permanent
league of nations having for Its pur
pose the enforcement of peace.
The indorsement was given In his
loner expected address at the banquet
of the .League to Knforce Peace. He
followed ex-Presiflent Taft. It came
sm a climax of u two-day nesslon which
this afternoon heard Theodore Mar
burg, ex-minister to Helglum, urfre
congress to pass a resolution favoring
ending Taft abroad after the war to
sound out the allies on organization of
a peace enforcement league of world
powers.
Secret Diplomacy Mast Oo.
The president made it plain such an
organization would follow out the
fundamental belit-r that every people
has a right to choose the sovereignty
under which they shall live, and, too,
Jhe ald, tho age-old methods of secret
diplomacy which he held responsible
toe tht present war could not exist
under such a league.
1 The president's brief speech was
Irequently interrupted by prolonged
applause. It contained an outline of
the president's position as to the pos
sibility of mediation.
"Ths eyes of the world." he Bald,
"are- turned eagerly, more and more
eagerly, toward the hope of peace. The
longer the war lasts, the more deeply
do we become concerned that it should
be brought to an end and the world
be permitted to resume Its normal life
and course again."

and to prevent any war begun either
contrary to treaty covenants or with

guarantee of territorial ingrity and
political independence."
Hew Diplomacy Demandad,
.The president said one of the great
lessons the war has taught is. that
the peace of the world must henceforth
depend upon a new and more whole
some diplomacy "which would prevent
a war springing suddenly out of a se
cret council," without warning to th
world, without discussion and without
Shy of the deliberate movements of
counsel with which it would seem
natural to approach such a stupendous
tlMi.
"It Is clear," he continued, "that
nations must in the future be gov
erned by the Name high code of honor
that Is demanded of individuals."

'He said that If the war had ac
complished nothing else, it had a I
least disclosed a great moral neces

ligerent nations that "the principle of

ect, and that at the heart of that
ommon object must lie the inviolable
ights of peoples ana of mankind. "

at 8:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from injuries received an hour earlier
in a fall from the porch of his home
at the Mordaunt apartments, Eigh
teenth and Everett streets.
Mr. Wursweller had been In poor
health for about six months and was
subject to attacks of dizziness. As he
stood looking over the railing yester
day afternoon, he was seized with ver
tigo and pitched head first from the
balcony to the sidewalk, more than 30
feet below.

called and he was hurried to the hos
pital. .
The injuries at first did not appear
serious. He was conscious until a
minute before life suddenly left.
Death is thought to have resulted
from an internal hemorrhage.
Mrs. Wursweller and their son were
down town and did not learn of the
accident until after he had passed
away. The body was at once removed
to the Edward Holman undertaking
establishment and the funeral proD
ably will take place Monday. No in
quest will be held, a satisfactory in
vestigation having been made by tha
coroner's office.
Albert Wurzweller's friends in east
ern Oregon were numbered by . the
thousand. For years he was located
at Pendleton and at Joseph In Wallowa
county.
Forged Way to Top.
He was about 54 years old. In 1882,
as a lad, he arrived in Pendleton, an
immigrant from Germany, and at once
began to make good. Rising through
clerkships he in time became proprie
tor of the largest merchandise house
in Pendleton. In 1896 he left there to
locate in the same business at Joseph.
In 1911 he virtually retired, coming to
Portland -with his family to reside.
He made large investments, however,
in Crook county stock land and the
holdings of his brother, William Wurs
weller, and himself amounted to many
thousands of acres. His brother has
been actively managing this business,
one of the largest In central Oregon.
William Wursweller was located at
Frineville yesterday afternoon, and
and will arrive in Portland this morn
ing. Besides this brother, two sisters,
Mrs. Samuel Rothchild of San Fran
cisco and a Mrs. Falk, residing In Ger
many, survive. Mrs. Rothchild Is ill
and will not be able to attend the
funeral.
Member of Many Orders.
Milton Wurzweiler. the son, had Just
returned in the last few days from
California, where he was a student at
Leland Stanford university. Mr.
Wurzweiler was a nephew of Reuben
Alexander of Pendleton and has many
other more distant relatives in the
northwest.
He had been a member of the Ma
sonic fraternity for many years and
had received the Scottish Rite and
Shrlner degrees. He was also a mem
ber of the Odd Fellows, the Elks and
the Woodmen of the World, and all of
these organizations probably will par
ticipate in the funeral ceremonies,
Mrs. Wurzweiler was prostrated by
the shock of the tragedy. She 1b a sis
ter of Jerome Friedman and is prom
inent in the activities of the federated
women's clubs of the state. The
Wurzwellers had lived at the Mor
daunt apartments practically ever
since coming to Portland.

the Belgian and French governments.
"The commercial rehablirtation of
Belgium, the country tiat has suffered
the greatest througl. the European
war, will be a Herculean task," said
Mr. Hill.
"There will, of necessity, be a great
amount of money needed for replacing
Belgium in its former position, and the
United States will probably be looked
to to furnish the greatest part of it."
In speaking of King Albert Mr. Hill
said: "They've mistreated and rob
bed him, but he will come back. He's
too big a man to be defeated. 1 intend
to do everything in my power to help
him financially or otherwise for he is
the biggest man save, of course, J. J.
Hill, in his own peculiar line that I
ever met. The world will know this

Submarine Off
Oregon Coast
Diver Sighted From Florence,
Nationality Is Not Established.
Eugene, Or.. May 27. A telephone
message from Florence this afternoon
was to the effect that the lighthouse
keeper at Heceta Head light, '10 miles
up the coast from that town, and
others at the station, plainly saw a
submarine pass there during the aft
ernoon going north.
They said that the undersea vessel
first appeared upon the surface of
the ocean for 15 or 20 minutes and
then submerged, the periscope only
showing.
There were half a dosen people at
the lighthouse and In that neighbor
hood at the time, and all watched
the S-essel for half an hour or more.
Those who had field glasses watched
the periscope until the vessel reached
a point where It was impossible to
further discern it.
There was much speculation as to
the nationality of the vessel, as there
was no mark upon It to distinguish It.
In view of the fact that the British
cruisers have recently been seen in
the vicinity of San Francisco bay,
probably looking for a German sub
marine, it is believed by people at
the lighthouse, and at Florence, that
the vessel seen this afternoon may be
German, operating from a base some
where in Mexico or South Ajnerica.
Ran Francisco, May 11. (U. P.)
The submarine sighted off Heceta
Head today probably was the United
States submarine H-S on her way to
Bremerton. She left Mare Island navy
yard Thursday night. Going out of
the harbor she crashed Into Dyke No.
9 on the Vallejo side of the channel
and was hauled out of danger by the
monitor Cheyenne.
The H-3 went aground at Monterey,
and again at San Diego several months
ago. She is in command of Lieutenant
Bogurch.
Reported From Florence.
Florence, Or., May 27. Word Just
received here from Heceta lighthouse
is that a submarine passed there,
steaming north. The nationality of
the submarine could not be deter
mined. The vessel was seen first on
the surface, then submerged, the perl
scope only showing thereafter.
