Newspaper Page TextI | Confidential Advices Received at . 2 i Capital Show There Is Little Fear of a Renewal of Subma v ‘rine Warfare by Germany, (By International News Service.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—Confi dential advices reccived in Washing ton coincident with Ambassador Ger ard’'s departure for this country give assurance that there is no basis for the report that the German Govern ment is contemplating a renewal of submarine warfare in violation of the pledges given in the Sussex case. Some of the more responsible offi cjals of the State Department who have been studying Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg’'s speech have de cided that the construction placed upon it by certain other officlals was unjustified and incorrect. The sen tence in the Chancellor’'s speech which seemed to bear out the theory that Germany was about to enter upon a new and relentless submarine cam paign, was: “A German statesman who would hesitate to use against this enemy every available Instrument of battle that would shorten this war should be hanged.” U-Boat War Impossible. This sentence was explained today as follows: “The Chancellor means that Ger meny must do evervthing possible to win. But Germany realizes that a renewal of submarine operations against ships carrying passengers would bring on war with the United States. Therefore, submarine war fare on the old lines does not come within the category of things possi- Dle. The submarine, for use against passenger lines, is not an ‘available weapon.’” A studied effort is being made in England to embroil the United States in trouble with Germany over the submarine question. The latest in stance of this is a statement by Lord Robert Ce>il, the British War Trade Minister, in which he charges that Germany !s directly violating her pledges to the United States. It can be authoritatively stated that no case in which these pledges have been shown to be violated has been report ed to this Government since the pledgss were given. The twice cabled report that Am bassador Gerard is returning to this country to discuss the renewed threat of relentless submarine war is spe cifically denied at the State Depart ment. Gerard Would Stay. It was pointed out today that if the United States feared a submarine erisis the Ambassador would not be leaving his post. The fact that he is coming here is the very best evi dence that the relations of Germany and the United States are now on a better basis than they have been in any recent time. The Examiner is'informed that Mr Gerard has been trying for ten months t» get away for a rest, which he needs badly. While he is coming here merely for & vacation, he will certainly discuss the situation abroad and the possi bility of bringing about peace. Although England and France pro fees not to want to discuss peace, there are conditions possible under which they might be forced to con gider it. A neutral diplomat put the situation thus to The Examiner cor respondent: “Suppose the United States should say to England: ““Unless you cease your {llegal in terference with our malls and com merce we shall place an embargo on the shipments of supplies’ England would have t» yield to the demands of the United States. If an embargo were put into effect she would be ready to discuss terms of peace within three weeks.” DEATHS AND FUNERALS Thomas J. Karr, 7-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

By WILLIAM HOSTER. BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 30.—Charles E. Hughes tonight charged President Wilson with sacrifice of American business interests in foreign lands, and submitted proofs. Citing Mex ico, he said: “It is sald by the administration that they desire to open the door for American enterprise. “What is the inducement for our merchants and business men to go to foreign countries and engage in American enterprises if they and their investments are treated as our citizens and their properties were permitted to be treated in Mexico? “.ve have heard criticised,” con tinued Mr. Hughes, “those whe had taken advantage of opportunities and made investments in Mexico, but I have not discovered that any line was drawn between the innocent and those that were not admitted to be inno cent in permitting our citizens to be left to the ravages of revolution and perhaps to be destroyed. “If any have forfeited their rights under international law, let them be singted out and dealt with. But I stand here to assert that American trade will not be maintained accord ing to the ambitions and just aspira tions of our people, and we shall not stand before the world as we should with International esteem and the confidence of the nation, unless we protect at all events American lives American property and American commerce throughout the world.” He denounced the administration’s veto of the six-power loan to China and contrasted the pretensions of friendship for the Latin American States with Mr. Bryan’s handling of the Santo Domingan affair. This new line of attack was devel oped here tonight in an address be fore 6,000 people in the auditorium, with which the Republican presiden tlal candidate brought the Middle Western and New York State cam paign tours to a close. , % ""'/Z//')'/'/'/;/} . )2 J /;"':l. % j / (W<} R | ‘ e | /: \ /ﬂ ’. / & | oz |=\/) 1 - AT SN\ == Prepare Your Children’s Lunch With |4I”IIIWIIUIIIIIIIIIII'I ’ G 9 Dawson’s Pure Apple Jelly —AND — PURE PICKLES /A 7 i\ '9' ' ; { Department pro- |3 \-_""] W =l - 1 Pawsog | i gft?&\“ #l nounces it absolutely E el | <&l .
