Chicago The first session of the
National convention of the Friends of
Peace, which opened here Monday,
waa given over largely to the women
delegates as a sentimental acknowl
edgement of tha part women must play
in tha peace movement, but a number
of men speakers launched vigorous at
tacks on what they called the "jingo
press" and manufacturers who ara
shipping munitions to belligerent na
tions. These attacks were greeted by
applause.
A ripple of applause also greeted
the reading of a bulletin announcing
that tha Allan liner Hesperian had
been torpedoed by a German subma
rine, but immediately a storm of hisses
drowned out tha applause. Tha bulle
tin read by Henry Weiasman, of Chi
cago, chairman of tha reaolutiona com
mittee, contained tha erroneous state
ment that 600 Uvea bad been lost.
Later another bulletin stating no
lives had been lost waa read and the
delegates broke into applause that
lasted several minutes.
Mr. Weiasman said tha action of the
submarine confirmed bis opinion that
reports declaring Germany had acced
ed to the demands of tha United States
regsrding submarine warfare had been
published solely to keep people from
attending the convention of tha
Friends of Peace, and that tha "jingo
press" had lent its efforts to the move
ment with that end in view.
Rev. D. C. Berkemeier, of Mount
Vernon, N. Y., charged that tha influ

Hesperian, with 350 passengers and a

out warning by a German submarine
off the Irish coast just aa darkness
falling Saturday evening. Although the
torpedo found its mark, the vessel re
mained afloat and, according to a
statement issued by the company,
every one aboard waa saved.
NO submarine was seen and It was
too dark to observe the wake of a tor

agree that tha attack waa made- by a

opinion on the force of tha shock and
the great volume of water thrown into
tha air.

Washington, t C Strained rela
tions between tha United States and
Germ say over submarine warfare ap
parently passed Into history Thursday
after Count voa Berastorft, tha Gar
man ambassador, Informed Secretary
Lansing la writing that prior to Us
sinking of the Arabia aia governmeat
had decided that lis submarines
should sink M more liners without
warning.
Oral assurancee to thts effect had
been glvea by the embassador last
week. But It waa not until Count von
Berastorff. after a call at tha state
department, returned to the embassy
and aent a letter to Mr. Lansing quot
ing Instructions from Berlin concern
ing an answer to be made to the last
Americas note on the einktng of the
Lueltaala that officials frankly admit
ted their gratification over tha chang
ed position of tha Imperial govern
ment Secretary Lansing said tn a formal
statement that tha letter "appears to
be a recoiniUoa of the fundamental
principle for which we hare ooatead
ed." He Immediately aent the com
munication to tha white house, and
discussed It ta a cheerful vein.
Everywhere la administration cir
cles there was a visible relaxation ot
tha tension which hsd existed aver
since the Lnaitanta tragedy, though
leeaened by tha earlier assurancee of
Count von Bemstorft and advices
from Ambasaador Oerard aa to tha at
titude ot offlclala la Berlin.
Tha aext step. It ta said authorita
tively, will be n formal eommunlca
Uoa from the German government dis
avowing tha dee traction of the Arabic
and tendering regret and reparation
tor American Uvea lost In tha disaster
If the attack waa made by n Oennaa
submarine.
Even If the submarine which tor
pedoed the liner subsequently was
sunk by a British man-of-war, aa baa
been auggeeted both from Berlin and
London, tha Berlin foreign office la
expected to aend ita disavowal aa soon
aa a reasonable time has passed with
out a report from Ita commander.
Once the aituation growing out of
tha Arable Incident haa been disposed
of, the response to the loog-onaaawer-ed
American note on tha Lnsltasla
will be dispatched, and If Germany's
explanations and proposals tn this
case are accepted by the United

Lutsk, which, with those of Dubno
and Kovno, forma n fortified triangle
on Russian territory juet north of tha
Galictaa frontier, was captured by the
Anstriana Thursday, according to the
omciai report from Vienna. It Is to
thia direction that the Auatro-Oerman
offensive hss been, tha moat aggres
sive during the past few daya, tha ob
ject being to separate the Russian
army which baa been retreating
through the Pripet marshes from that
operating la Oallcia. Tha latter forces
inflicted, ao the Russians claim, a
rather severe defeat on tha Invaders.
Tha capture of Lutsk, however, is
likely to compel the Russians, despite
their victory, to evacuate that part of
Oallcia still held by them; otherwise
their flank there would be seriously
threatened.

Hop Crop Disappointing
Portland Hop growers In Oregon
ara keenly disappointed over the smalt
crop that ia being harvested thia year.
Early in tha season it appeared to be a
big yield of 140,000 or 160,000 bales.
bat it la doubtful now If tha crop wilt
exceed 100.000 bales.
Soma well posted authorities believe
it may fall to 85.000 or 80.000 bales.
Last year Oregon produced 117,000
bales of hops.
The vines mads a good start la the
spring and gavs promise of a record
yield per acre Early la ths summer,
however, tha wet wsathsr brought en
a severe attack of hop lies, and In
spits of all ths efforts of ths growers
they could not master the plague.
Spraying was resorted to promptly
by most of the farmers, and some
yards were gone over four or five
timee. At first It seemed as if tha
attack bad been checked, bat the
weather waa against the growers, and
the vermin reappeared, ,.,
Not only in Oregon Is the crop com
ing down below expectations, but the
entire American crop will be much leas
than wsa figured upon. ' .
In Washington hops ara doing tetter

year ia lessened by ths plowing np of
