 'IIt is very surprising to me, it is even a source of modification, that a conference like this should have been so long delayed. that it should never have occurred before, that it should have required a crisis of the world to show the Americans how truly they were neighbors to one another If there is any one happy circumstance. gentlemen, arising out of the distress ing circumstances of the war it is that which has revealed us to one another, it has shown us what it means to be fneighbors And can not help harboring the hope, the very high hope, that by this commerce of
 minds with one another as well as commerce in goods, we may show the world the path to peace.
 +I am. so keenIy aware that the basis of personal friendship is the competition in excellence that I am perfectly certain that this is the only basis for the friendship of nations, this handsome rivalry. this rivalry in which there is no dislike; this rivalry in which there is nothing but the hope of common elevation in great enterprises which we can undertake in common.
 There is one thing that stands in our way among others-for you are more cOnVefSant with the circum- stances than I am; the things I have chiefly in mind is that physical lack of means of communication, the lack of vehicles; the lack of ships; the lack of established routes of trade; the lack of those things which are absolutely necessary if we are to have true conn 1ncrcia1 and intimate commercial rela- tions with one another; and am per fectly clear in my judgment that if private ca apital cannot soon enter upon the adventure of establishing these physical means of communication, the government must undertake to do so. we cannot indefinitely stand apart and need each other for the lack of what can easily be supplied. and if one instrunentality cannot supply it then another must be found which will sup ply it. We cannot know each other unless we see each other; we cannot l deal with each other unless we com nunicate with each other. So soon as we communicate and are upon a farni- liar footing of intercourse with one another, we shall understand one an

STOCK MARKET

New York, May 4.AOpening.-It- aly's formal entrance into the Euro pean conflict was met by another im-
 mediate rise in war shares at the opening of today's market. CrucibIe steel, last weeks sensational feature, opened with an exchange of 5000 shares at S4 to 34 3-4, new high price and gain of ? s3-4 over last Saturday. Bethlehem Steel, Westinghouse and other issues coming within 9he scope of war contracts, rose 1 to points. United States Steel was in good de-
 nand, advancing a, point, and metal shares gained material fractions or more. Investment railways joined the rise in more moderate degree, but re- hected confident absorption.
 Noon-More mature conside erati on of the latest war developments seemed to invite realizing sales after the early advance and the market suffered a severe reversal before the end of the first hour. Bethlehem Steel made a maximum decline of nine points, Westingh ouse 5 1-2 and 5CrucibIe Steel 3. Bonds were irregular.

BRITISH ENTERTAIN
GERMAN PRISONERS
Captain of Emden Meets King and
Won Trpitz's Son Is Guest of
Winston Churchill

New York. German prisoners of
war in Great Britain or at least some
of them of aristocratic connections are
being feted in London, according to q
dispatch to the New York Tribune,
which says:
Personal friendship and business and
financial interests are linking together
in the most curious and remarkable
way Englishmen and Germans.
Among the German prisoners of war
in England are officers who number
among their English friends not only
some of the smartest people in society,
but people of the greatest prominence
in the political world, by whom since
their arrival as prisoners they have
been constantly entertained.
son of the German admiral, has been
entertained BY Lord Haldane and Mr..
Winston Churchill, who are intimate
friends of the Tirpitz family. The sum-
mer before the war broke out Lieuten-
ant Won Tirpitz was the guest in Lon
don of Mr.. and Mrs. Winston Churchill.
Lieutenant Won Tirpitz partnered Mrs.
Winston Churchill in a lawn tennis
tournament at the Queens club and
with her won the mixed doubles.
Two days after his arrival in Eng
land as a prisoner of war he was again
Mr.. Churchill's guest and later became
the guest of Lord Haldane and has
since been the guest of Lord Lonsdale
and of number of people in the smart

CRUISERS COAL ON THE RUN

The British cruisers which are
guarding the steamship lanes against
German raiders do not dare to relax
their vigilance for an instant. 1t is
dangerous for them to stop to take on
the necessary coal, and so an ingenious
method has been devised to enable
them to take coal on the run. The col
lier that is to supply a cruiser with
coal gets into touch with her by wire
less and meets her at the appointed
spot. The collier pulls up behind the
cruiser and when about four hundred
feet astern two hawsers are passed
from the warship and one fastened on
either side to be used as tow lines.
Another cable is stretched from the
masthead of the collier to the deck of
the warship. The warship steams
ahead at the rate of ten or twelve
knots an hour, followed by the collier.
Great bags holding a ton of coal are
hoisted to the masthead of the collier
and attached to a carrier that allows
them to run rapidly down to the deck
of the cruiser, where the load is auto
matically released. The carrier is then
drawn back to the collier. BY this
means coal is loaded onto a moving
warship at the rate of sixty tons an
hour.-The American Boy. .t-r

German Newspaper Says
America Is Trying to
Assist Great Britain

Berlin, via London, June 30.-A
Reuter- dispatch contains a summary
OF the United States note asking Ger
many to reconsider her refusal to
settle by direct negotiations the claim
arising from the sinking of the Ameri-
can ship William P. Frye, printed
without comment by the Berlin news
papers, with the exception of the
Rundschau. This paper introduces its
article by saying:
Along with the Lusitania incident,
which, II is true. is settled so far as we
arc concerned, but is to be looked over
again for Americas sake. comes an
exchange of opinions concerning the
sinking of the ship Frye"
The Runschau asks what more
America wants than an offer to paw
damages. The paper answer its own
question by saying: 1T wants here to
influence the German method of ma
rine warfare in favor of England and
absolutely nothing ei1s can be said"

ANIMAL PICTURES AT
THE COLONIAL

For the last time tonight, sports
men and lovers of the great out of
doors will find entertainment of un-
usual quality at the Colonial, where
Salisbury's pictures of wild Life in
America" are being shown. In many
ways they are as thrilling and inter
esting as the Rainey African Jungle
Pictures these have the added value
Of acquainting Americans with birds
and animals of this country in their
native haunts. Many of the pictures
were taken within a few feet of the
unconscious bird or animal, the men
of the expedition waiting for days in
the blinds erected for hiding the cam
era until the opportunity for making
the picture desired presented itself.
The work of the well-trained pointer
dogs af1eld over the game birds is a
most beautiful picture to watch mas
much as the dog pointing" has long
been a favorite subject of the most
noted artists both of this country and
Others. One reel shows the hunter
firing at a Flushing pheasant, the dogs
in working attitude and the game
dropping when struck by the shot.
This picture has been reproduced in
all the leading sporting magazines in
the country.
In the words of Rex Beach, the
noted author, they are "Unquestion-
ably the greatest hunting, fishing and
outdoor pictures ever produced"
Thursday Friday and Saturday
there will be an entire change of pro-
gram both in vaudeville and pictures.

exploits as commander of the Emden
gained him the frank admiration OF
many English naval officers.
Captain Won Muller some little while
ago met King George at a dinner given
at his majesty's special request to en-
able him to meet the German captain.
There were difficulties about asking
the captain to Buckingham palace, but
vited Captain Won Muller to a dinner
