FOREIGN DIPLOMATS
OvERSTEP PROPERTY
Representatives Of Belligerent
Countries Displease State
Department.

Washington. Sept. 14.-That certain
members of the diplomatic corps here,
in their efforts to influence public opin-
ion through newspaper interviews and
inspired stories, have overstepped the
ounds of diplomatic propriety and are
guilty of i~ndiscretions is the feeling
among officials of the state depart
ment.
This is not a situation which has
sprun up owe night. The comment of
the foreign ambassadors, published by
the press, has been closely followed at
the state department and in more in
stances than one there has been keen
resentment at the character of the ut
terances.
1t would not cause surprise, it is said.
if Mr.. Bryan, secretary of state, should
intimate to some of the diplomatists
that their emarks are out of place.
An official said yesterday:
II do not know how Mr.. Bryan feels
about this, but I do know that other
secretaries of state, less patient tina
Mr.. Bryan, would already have put
an n to these tactics.'
1t is said hat in some instances GER
tain of the diplomatic representatives
have gone so far as to question the
neutrality and good faith Of the United
States. Moreover, the unusual curse
has been followed of making yelled crit
icism of the United States in the press
without calling the matter to h at
tention of the state department. This is
resented.

millions would need food until the next

In many places. whole villages have
been blotted out. inhabitants and ALL"
SAYS the report. 1.-The loss of life may
never be known, but the suffering
caused is appalling. The West river
still, at the end of July, is very high,
the fields and lands are under several
feet of water. Banks require rebuild
ing. houses re-erecting. fields to be
pumped dry for planting. Taxes are
RENTED and other government aid is
given. but even thus. the people have
lost all. and stand helpless.
"At the first we hoped the water
might recede more rapidly and the
fields be available for the second plant
ing. This now appear not to be pos
sible. In such event the people face
a 10 or IL months famine.
This is only the beginning. What
the near future has in store only God
knows. Help is needed now. Delay
cannot be long if these people are to
be saved"
