SUPPOSED FLIGHT OF
SHAH ONLY A RUMOR
No Official News Received Here Re-
gardins Escape of Persian Head
From Teheran.

Neither the Persian Legation nor the
State Department has received any dis
patches confirming reports published yes
terday that the Shah Of Persia has fed
Teheran in fear Of intrigues on the part
of Teuton and entente allies agents.
II has been understood here for sew
eral DAYS that the Russians were moving
in considerable force upon Teheran. the
capital of Persia. The Russian govern
ment announced recently that the activi-
ties Of German agents, particularly In
relation to the Persian government, COM
PEELED 1t to take action The British gov
ernment has also charged recently that
British subjects in Persia had been muir
dered at the instigation OF German and
Turkish agents.
Very little positive information has
reached Washington from Persia in re-
cent months. II is regarded as newt
able. however. that all Of Persia would
sooner or later be drawn into the more
or less active theater of war, and 1t has
been expected that Russia and Great
Britain would tighten their already con-
siderable hold upon Persia and the
Persian government.

AS BAR TO WAR
Barrett, Says Asquith Stated
Organization Would Have
Averted Strife.
PAN-AMERICA LIKES u. S.
Latin Nations More Friendly to U. S,
Than We Are to Them. Speaker
Tells National Body.

Premier Asquith told the British cabinet
at a recent meeting that. had there beer
a pan-European union, Identical with the
Pan American Union, with its head
quarters In any capital in Europe. there
would have been no war. John Barrett
director of the Pan-American Union, said
at a meeting Of the Columbia Historical
Society at the ballroom of the Shorehan
Hotel last night
II believe / am not violating conf
dence when 1 say that / have just re-
ceived a letter from Winston Churchill,
said Mr.. Barrett. He told me that
cabinet just before the letter was written
was involved in q general discussion Of
the cause that led to the war.
Mr.. Asqrith said: If there had been
a pan-European union, such as that oi
the Americas. with ITS capital at London.
Paris, Berlin. Rome. Vienna or Petrograd,
there would have been no war
Mr. Barrett has been an Intimate friend
OF Mr.. Churchill for years, and has hunt
ed with him in India and Africa
In his address, Mr.. Barrett refuted as
a positive lie" the statements that the
Central and South American nations are
lunfriendly to the United States.
They have the same demagogues. the
same sensational newspapers. the same
essayists searching for something to
write about. that We have here" he said
who talk about the American colossus.
The Latin-American nations say more
good OF US than We do Of them. We
are the friends OF 90 per cent OF the Teo'
ple-in Mexico. too, where the lnoiar
poems love the American more than any
other man
Another false belief is that the Eu'
ropean nations surpass US In Latin
American trade. In 1913, the year be-
fore the war started. when all trade was
normal, the United States did an export
and import trade with these nations oi
$3.50, 600, 900. Great Britain was next with
$40, 10000. Then Germany came with
$40, ,00O, ,OoO-iess than one-haf Of our
trade
las regards intervention in Mexico,
may say that have no sympathy with
any one who advocates 1t. The SOW.
ereignty OF Mexico is as dear to II as oul
sovereignty is dear to US. We should
have won nothing but hate had We in
terfered in its problems by means OF
arms"
DR., James Dudley Morgan, president
introduced Mr.. Barrett Following Mr.
Barrett's address. the pan-Americar
question was discussed by Allen Clarke
former Chief Justice OF the Court OF
Claims Stanton PeelIe, Mrs. Bacon Foster
and Miss Alice James.
James F. Hood presented to the So
ciety a wooden mantle from the cottage
