M'ADOO AND MACHADO
CAUSE OF MUCH ADO
Former Secretary of Treasury,
Latter Mentioned as President
Of Republic Of Portugal.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
has been press-agented in many ways
and many wise. He has seen his name
in the public prints so often that 1t
carries with IT no sensation. He Is used
to the glamour OF publicity and of
public life. For a decade. the name
of McAdoo has been blazoned to an
American public that dotes on engin-
eering achievement and politics.
Consequently. the Secretary has come
to accept with outward sangfrod at
least. many yarns that have been con-
nected with his name.
But. alas. the famed last straw has
been heaved on. Mr.. McAdoo Is search

Item: Nominated for Pres ldent Of Por-

Of darn. With anger he determined to
run down this yarn.
Then he laughed. and this is why:
Being Of a logical turn OF mind. the
Secretary started to trace this story
back over the track by which It ha d
reached him. He rang for the clipping
assistant. With a emile he was shown

LANSING RADICAL,
BRYAN ALLIES CRY
Friends Of Peace Say Secretary
Of State Is Likely to Plunge
U. S. Into War.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-The Friends OF
Peace, who have championed William
jennings Bryan since he resigned as
Secretary Of state. have issued a state
ment attacking Secretary Of State
Lansing. Mr.. Lansing Is accused of be-
ing a man whose radicalism is liable
to plunge this nation into war;
The statement demands that tie Sec
retary employ more conservatism and
deliberation in his official acts. or if by
nature he is deprived or such qualities
that he surrenders his high post to one
possessing them. and whose official acts
therefore will not be a menace to the
peace and prosperity Of this country al
such q critical period.
Just at this juncture." the statement
goes on to say. the country needs q
Secretary whose conduct Is calcula ted &c
avoid war. not to precipitate It, II
needs a man of high statesnanship In
ira! in his views. not partisan or mill
tant. one who is friend OF the masses
not OF the classes"
The Friends Of Peace give severa
reasons for the need Of "a high order OF
veal" in the conduct of the Secretary Of
State. They charge that there Is
strong evidence of a deliberate plot to
involve this nation in the European
war" that the same subtle influence
which dragged the Italian kingdom into
the war against the peoples will Is at
work in America and along Identical
lines"
The Friends Of Peace. who held the
meeting IN Madison Square Garden a
few weeks ago and had Mr.. Bryan as
their chief speaker, are planning a con-
ventlon in Chicago on September and
9, at which an attack vii! re made on

strong contingent Of American export
ers want from President Wilson in
answer to Great Britain's refusal to
modify her order in council.
Expressions here today by these in
terests representatives left no doubt
that a combined effort would be made to
force the Chief Executives hand, not
only with a view to freedom Of the
plishing It in the shortest possible order.
Demand q Time Limit.
With the latest British note not yet
officially made public. the exporters
plans were not fully formulated in de-
tail, but Of their general purport there
was no question. The cotton growers
are the strongest single group behind
the movement. The meat packers are
behind them. individually smaller but
formidable In the aggregate. representa-
tives of this combination professed con-
hdence OF putting their program through
In one way or another.
Their plan Is said to be to demand
that the allies cease all interference
with teir shipments to neutral Euro
pean ports. In the event OF a refusal.
they want an extra session Of Congress
to put an embargo on American ship
ments of all kinds to the allied nations
Their business has already suffered
so seriously. they say, that they do not
purpose to wait indefinitely for British
compliance with their wishes. It is for
this reason that they seek a time limit
amounting TO an ultimatum--in the
Presidents next message to London.
To Make 1t a "Live ISSUE"
Failing to get an extra session. they
admit there will be nothing for them
to do but await the regular reassembling
of Congress in December. They declare
thev VIII make their fight then, how
ever. It compelled to wait so long, with
all possible energy.
Arrangements were known today to
be already in hand for an aggressive
publicity campaign to promote their
plans. Their view is that Germanys
submarine activities. by involving the
loss OF American lives. overshauowed
the damage done by the allies block
ade, which meant loss only OF property.
They make the point, however, that
Germany, in practice If not in theory.
bowed to American wishes relative to
submarine warfare, while the British
refuse the slightest concession either in
theory or In practice.
The purpose Of the press campaign
will be to imprcss this on the Ameri-
can public's mind. 1t Is not pretended
that the proposed embargo is a new
idea. Its advocates say they are going
to make 1t a live issue now, however,
and. unless the British come to terms
quickly. to make last ditch struggle

Members Of Congress Expected

Veate Department officials began to.
day the study Of three notes from
Great Britain which are SO unsatisfac.
tory that the British blockade contro.
versy assumed the gravest Importance.
England. offering no modification OF
her order in council. suggests no relief
for the congestion in American ship
ping. Instead. she insists that her order
in council is in agreement with !nterna-
tional law. and at great length defends
what Germany calls a ''starve-us-out"
blockade.
The British notes probably will be
made public tomorrow morning. Mean
while. no effort is made in official cir
cles to Conceal that the notes fail to
meet the issues raised by this Govern
nent and the persistent protests of
American shippers and importers.
