GERMANS PARADE
CONTEMPT FOR U. S,
Our Desire That They Should
Wage War Humanely Called
"PrepOsterous Presumption"
lBy Cable 10 The Tribune. ]

London, June 1.-THE Times pub
fishes an article b. an American dated
I'm Germany June" on German
hatred of America. The writer says
in part:
THE average German of to-day
holds the American to be a money
grubbing coward. No pretence even is
made of hiding his feeling of contempt
for the American people, who, it IS
alleged, under the cloak of neutrality,
supply one belligerent with the sinews
of war and acquiesce in the starving
of the other.
ut must be acknowledged that the
situation of Americans in Germany is
becoming intolerabc. The relations
between the United States and Ger
many arc strained to the breaking
point, yet this does not seem to be
understood by Germany.
American notes, American protests
against the violations of the laws of
war and American public opinion are
all dismissed with sneer. Bluff is
the inclusive term used in referring to
even the most recent serious and firm
demands of the American people as
admirably expressed in President Will
sons first Lustania note. The idea
that Germany should be brought to ac-
count by the United States and COM
PEELED 10 make war more humanely
seems to the average German prepos-
ferrous presumption. That America, the
one country whose military strength
is negligible, and whose professed
humanity a mere sentimental sham,
should dare to dictate terms is sub
ject of mirth, but the laugh rings hol-
low now, when great city like Ham
burg flies flags of rejoicing to cele-
brate the sinking of the Lusitania and
its American passengers.
THE German Foreign Office, which
is utterly discredited in the eyes of all
Germans and treated de haut en- bas
by the military authorities, appears to
hope that it may be able to revive in
part its lost prestige by compelling the
United States to recede from the posi-
ton taken up"

Paris, June 10. The conduct Of the
war came under discussion in the
Chamber Of Deputies to-day on bill
proposed by VI. Dalbiez respecting the
proper assignment of men at the front
OF in the services supplying the army.
Deputy Durafour affirmed that
France possessed manufactures, a
corps Of engineers and workmen of the
fist quality. adding: "No adversary
could resist if we knew how 10 utilize
these resources. Germany before the
wal had $4,000 workmen at Essen.
iron the decree of mobilization the
number was increased 20 10000. What
happened IN France was that the work
men were taken out of the factories
b. the mobilization and sent to the
ficnt and their places inadequately
supplied By women and those who
could not be Modified This was be-
cause the government was absorbed IN
the problem of strength at the front.
when the government saw its mis-
take" he said, land undertook to rem
edy it it's methods were arbitrary, and
the error was made of allowing un-
trained men to come back from the
front among expert workmen."
VI. Durafour alluded to intrigues to
obtain exemption, and cited some eX
amples. Thus, the story grew that
workmen generally in the factories
were simply those who were evading
service at the front. The mission Of
the men in the factories, he said, is
as sacred as that of the combatants,
and he declared that it is still notorious
that there are insufficient workmen
engaged in the industries supplying the
army.
The Minister Of War, Alexandra
Milerand, in reply recalled the trying
circumstances at the opening of the
war, when, in absolute necessity. he
was forced to call upon all industrial
workers for the hurried manufacture
of munitions and war material, de-
scribing how he had to hunt through
all the depots and use every possible
means to find the necessary trained
workmen.
The number Of men taken into the
munitions branch of the service, he an
nounced, was 650.635.

LANSING DISCARDS
SECRECY OF BRYAN
Acting Secretary of State Adopts
Policy of Open Dealing
with Newspaper Men.


Washington. June 10. When Robert
Lansing, Acting Secretary If State
met the representatives of the press
to-day it was evident that the policy
of extreme secretiveness which marked
Mr.. Bryan's career as premier was 20
be discarded.
1t had been regarded here as one OF
the chief faults of the retired Secre-
tary of State that he sought the conf.
dence of no one and left himself at
the mercy of any accidental misinter-
probation of his few cryptic utter
ances. 1t is believed the newer re-
lation will be productive of fewer mis-
statements in the press. because it is
felt that the necessity for speculation
has disappeared.
Mr.. Lansing's first notification was
that the buttonholng of diplomatic
visitors to the State Department must
be discontinued. He explained that
the practice resulted in annoyance to
the ambassadors. ministers and other
diplomats. while little or no good was
accomplished, because no foreign rep
resentative ever would or could feel
privileged to speak with freedom un-
der such circumstances.
In compensation for shutting off this
privilege the Secretary promised that
all of his conferences with diplomats
which admitted of explanation to the
public would be reported This change
was most welcome. Mr.. Bryan's at
titude was that any conference with
a foreign diplomat was a matter OF
such grave secrecy that even to ques-
ton him about it was improper.
Secretary Lansing answers questions
directly or not at all. The familiar
Bryan statement that "the matter was
under con sideration" or 1.-The depart;
ment has the matter in mind" vas alb
sent from Mr. Lansing's dealings with
the newspaper men.

Ambassador of the United States Of

Office No. 1921, on the subject of the

NIT that, as the American government

vessel mentioned constitutes a viola
tion of the treaties concluded between
Prussia and the United States at an
earlier date and now applicable to the
relations between the German Empire

treaties did not have the intention OF

parties engaged in war of the right of
stopping the supply of contraband to
his enemy when he recognizes the sup

"On the contrary, Article 10 of the
Prussien American treaty of July IL.

at war the right TO stop the carrying OF
contraband and to detain the contra
band. 1t follows, then, that il it can

ties of the club for the coming sum
mer. A letter has been received from
James r. Taylor OF Burlington, presl-
dent OF the state organization, which
urges all sections To complete their
work on the trails this summer so that
the work can be finished throughout
the state by this fall Although tie
Bennington section of the trail nas
been entirely laid out, there are por
tons of it which need clearing and
the local members wish to have this
accomplished as soon as possible.
The question of shelters was con-
sidered and it is hoped that shelters
can be erected in at least three diff
ferent parts OF the trail: one in the
vicinity OF Sucker Pond, one near Lit
tie Pond, and one at Somerset Dam.
If this plan is carried out it Will
make the shelters at such convenient
distances apart as to make the trail
divided up into easy stages. in con-
nection with this matter, it was sug
gested that club headquarters be pro-
cured in Woodford for the use of all
club members. This would prove es-
pecially pleasing to those in the club
who desire to fish or hunt in that Vi
entity.
Excursions have been planned both
for the near future and for later il.
the summer. Two such trips which
will be enjoyed within a few weeks
are hike to sugar orchard toward
Pownal. and a trip to Hotchkiss Clear

the months of June. July and August
