Portland. — Conservatives In the ranks of the Oeruian-sppakiug citizens of Oregon represent the majority sen­ timent In their stand on the position of the United States In the present European conflict. Delegates repr^ sentlng 30,000 members of the Con­ federated German-Speaking Societies of Oregon, met In ninth annual con­ vention in Portland Qunday and adopt­ ed resolutions expressing loyalty to this country, but openly dissenting from the president and his secretary of state on Issues arising from inci­ dents which now have become matters of history. * The convention formally declared a purpose to support the national gov­ ernment In Its foreign relations; that it was unalterably opposed to the United States becoming Involved In war with any of the European belltg erents; declared Ita “sympathy” with the German cause and urged that the A r° erica ns aid or abet In no way the conflict and bloodshed, and maintain­ ed a right to voice their sentiments. |C Germany Intends to ignore visit-end search rights and continue her prac­ tice of torpedoing vessels without warning, placing the lives of non-com batunts in jeopardy, or whether rulea of maritime warfare which have gov erned for centuries wl|| be followed.

It further calls Germany's attention to the fact that the Lusltan is did not attempt any resistance, be lng torpedoed without a moment't warning. The arrival of a communication from the German government express lng regret for the attack on the Amer­ ican steamer Gulflight,- offering to pay indemnity as soon as a claim is pre sented and details arranged, and mak­ ing a further promise to take into con aideratlon any facts which the. United States' may have oa the dropping ol bombs by German airmen on the American steamer Cushing, made un necessary any discussion of these cases in the new note to*Germany. It was said the note to be sent to Emperor William by Count von Bern atorff. the German ambassador, through Meyer Gerhard, an attache ol the German colonial office, as special envoy to carry messages of the etn bassy and to outline the American point ot view to the government ol Berlin, would not delay the dispatch of the American note.
