Most German Socialists
Support the Government

Amsterdam, June 20 dispatch 10
"The London Observer Messages
from Berlin make il clear that the
schism Is deepening in Germany over
the question of the aims Of the empire
in the war The influential lingo party
is encouraged afresh by the success
in Galicia to demand large territorial
exten sions and TO take the annexation
of Belgium for granted.
The other party is opposing any idea
of annexation and urging that efforts
for peace be made as soon as the oc-
casion arises for honorable settle
ment.
The lingo influence is very strong.
and il is significant that even among
the Socialists there are conflicting
views on tho question. At the head
of a strong minority N the Social
Democratic party are Herren kaut-
sky, Bernstein and Haase. who are
urging that In view Of the now de-
clared policy Of annexation the Social
ist party must alter its attitude on the
war and refuse 10 further cooperate
with other parties unless the latter
make clear that IL ia not the intention
Of Germany to enter on campaign of
conquest against other nationalitles.
Inc majority OF the pOCidllot party =
however. is apparently not prepared to
change its attitude on the war, as de-
clared last August.
A Frankfurt paper. "Das Freie Wort
has interviewed the president Of tho
new German Peace League and the
Bund Neues Vsterland. which were
founded to further the idea of inter
national cooperation among nations
end the political and economic recon-
Citation of civilized countries.
The president declared that the
league is opposed TO any plan OF ar
nexation as the result OF the war.
Asked IL il we're not true that he and
his friends were only small minor
ity. the president replied:
The loudest shouters for war are
people interested in patriotic newspa-
pers. certain editors Of which are per-
sonGlly unfit for military service. and
ell Of those interested in war indus
tries. The league will endesvor to
gather the rest into one body"

TURIES SITTING
RECRUITING RUMORS
Arrest Already Made in Chicago
for Enlisting for Italian
ArmV.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 30.-That Federal
grand juries in a number of sections
of the country are investigating re-
cruiting for the armies of Europe, in
violation of neutrality, was learned at
the Department of Justice to-day. The
scope Of the inquiry. it was stated,
would be revealed only as arrests are
made, as otherwise the inquiries might
be frustrated by the publicity. Already
one arrest has been made in Chicago,
where recruiting for the Serbian army
was going on, and also for the Italian
army.
Return OF reservists to their colors
from this country, however, it was stat
ed, constitutes no violation of neutral
ity, the law intervening only when the
recruiting of others is attempted.

DEFENDS OVERSEAS
TRUSTS NECESSITY
Its President Says Other
wise Holland Would Be
Cut Off from Supplies.
lBy Cable 70 The Tribune ]

London, June 30. NJ. Van Vollen-
haven, president of the Netherlands
Overseas Trust, now in England for the
purpose of settling several small dis
putes with the British government, told
The Tribune correspondent that the
trust arose out of the Declaration of
London and was formed solely for pro-
tectng the interests Of neutral trade.
81 don't think it's true to say that
the United States government does not
officially recognize the trust. We deal
on the same basis with all neutrals.
comprising, as we do. only firms
of high standing we are able to give
guarantees to all the belligerents that
goods consigned to us will indirectly
reach no other destination. If cases
Of difficulty arise, affecting any particu-
lar member, then we take up the case.
IF American firms of known stand
ing consiEn goods to US, then it is
certain that such cargoes won't be
seized and taken to the prize court,
thus preventing all that delay and loss
of time. If, despite this, American
goods consigned to us we're declared
contraband or conditional contraband,
we should take up the matter with the
belhgerent concerned"
Referring 10 the point frequently
raised by the British that American
exports and those of other neutral
countries have enormously increased
since the outbreak of the war. Mr.. Van
Nollenhaven said:
III goods be examined and it be
found that the majority Of them, if now
regarded as contraband, have only re-
Gently been so declared. Even British
coffee passed freely TO Germany until
just recently.
The point has been made that the
British export of coffee TO the Neither
lands during the first five months Of
1914, was 6S.356 hundredweight. but
during a similar period in 1915 was
2lS.573. But then, it must be remem-
bered that it wasn't until May 10 that
coffee was declared contraband, while
in the case of cotton it is still only
partially so.
"Our position is that II any article
is actually declared contraband, then
we guarantee that if it is consigned TO
us il will not reach any belligerent.
Moreover, it must be remembered
that, owing TO the effect Of the war.
Holland is far more dependent on i'm
ported goods than before and. practi-
cally speaking, we only get just what
we actually need and are unable TO
snare our imports for Germany. even
although we so desired, apart from the
fact that We guarantee not to do So"

the British steamer Fa!aba, on which
the note commented as follows;
with regard 70 the sinking OF the
steamer Falaba, by which an American
citizen lost his life. the government
of the United States is surprised TO
find the imperial German government
contending that an effort on the part
OF merchantmen to escape capture
and secure assistance alters the obli-
cation Of the officer seeking to make
the capture in respect of the safety OF
the lives of those on board the mer-
chairman, although the vessel has
ceased her attempt TO escape when
torpedoed.
Attitude of United States.
These are not new circumstances.
They have been in the minds Of states
men and of international jurists
throughout the development OF naval
warfare, and tho government of the
United States does not understand
that they have ever been held TO al
ter the principles Of humanity upon
which IL has insisted. Nothing but
actual forcible resistance or continued
efforts 20 escape by flight when or
dered to stop for the purpose OF VISIT
on the part of the merchantmen has
ever been held TO forfeit the lives OF
her passengers or crew
IL was said at the State Department
that unless the Armenian deliberate
" put herself outside the protection
of the principles enunciated IN this
note, by making repeated efforts 10
escape. no other defence could be
raised by Germany that the United
States could recognize. 1t was s'aIea
positively that the mere fact OF the
vessel being under charter 10 the BTU
ish government, II such should prove
TO be the case, would not alter her
ststrs urless she were actually
british transport under the naval flag
o. the British Empire.
A circumstance in favor OF the sub
f-arine commander is the fact that the
Nlarconi house of the Armenian was
destroyed by a shot, indicating that the
suhnarine was on the surface, APP
parentlv 70 order the merchantmen TO
stop and TO give her crew chance TO
ESCAPE. Officials point out that the
commander of submarine woaIo
hardly go to the trouble TO give warn
ing in this fashion unless he intended
TO give the crew an opportunity 10
take advantage of II, and they are IN
clined TO think the Armenian delio-
erately chose 70 take the risk OF run
ming away.
Should the Armenian prove to have
cleared as an army transport under the
direction and control OF the British
military authorities. Americans ,serv-
ing in her crew took the same risks as
complaints, diplomats say, even II the
ship was unarmed. and the American
government would have. no GROUNDS on
indemnity.
The Armenian was unarmed; other-
wise ii would not have been allowed
by the collector Of the port to leave
Newport News. This is believed 70
dispose Of the suggestion that the cap
tan Of the steamship offered forcible
resistance 70 the submarine. IL Is not
thought she could have cleared as
British government transport without
ths fact being brought TO the attention
OF the authorities here.

London, June 30.-Evidence has peen
placed before tho State Department IN
Washington by the British authorizes
which shows that Germany is carrying
on its work Of forging American pass
por.s in an establishment in Holland

The paper upon which American
passports are printed has been repro
drcsd even to the watermarks, while
the German officers have in their pos
session duplicates Of American seals.

After his arrest Creeckow confessed

The fact that Crceckow is under ar

the American authorities are aware OF
It. The details of his confession are
being kept secret.
Officials Of the British government
acquainted with the case are convinced
that Il constitutes a most serious Of
