LAKE MoHoNK CONFERENCE
INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
Will Consider How Profit May Be Had
from the European War.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, May 18-Be-
cause the present war is unprecedented
in its extent, the Lake Mohonk confer
ence on international arbitration which
opens here tomorrow will disregard its
time -honored rule against the discus
sion of existing conflicts and consider
how the cause for which the confer
ence has labored for the past 21 years
may profit by the results of the strug-
gle now raging. Between 200 and 300
diplomats, college presidents, experts
on economics and international law,
leading business men and others here
tonight were almost unanimous in
their opinion that one of the first les
sons taught by the war was the need
of workable plan of settling interna-
tiona1 disputes without recourse to
arms.
The topics to be considered during
the three days of the conference deal
with the methods by which the war
may be turned to account. Speakers
were advised. however, that there
should be no discussion of the causes
and conduct of the war in the form of
direct criticism of specific policies or
acts of any belligerent or group of
belligerents.

What Austria
Comedies TO Italy
BY GERMAN I'M
PERIAL CHANCELLOR.
SPEECH IN REICHSTAG
Declares That the Vienna Cabinet Flad
Offered to Surrender Territory to
Ensure an Enduring Peace with
Italy.

Berlin, via London, May IS, 1853 p.
m.-"You are aware" said DR.. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, the imperial chan
cellor. speaking in the reichstag today,
that the relations between Italy and
Austria Hungary within the last
month have been strongly strained.
From the speech made yesterday by
Count Tisza you will have gathered
that the Vienna cabinet in a sincere
effort to ensure enduring peace be-
and to take into account the lasting
great vital interests of both empires,
had resolved on far-reaching conces-
sions to Italy of territorial nature.
Concessions Made.
81 consider it proper to indicate
these concessions to you:
First, part of the Tyrol inhabited
by Italians was to be ceded to Italy.
Second, the western bank of the
Isonzo insofar as the population was
purely Italian, and the town of Gra-
disca, likewise was to be ceded to
Italy.
Third, Trieste was to be made an
istration which would insure the 1tal-
ian character of the city, and to have
an Italian university.
Fourth, Italian sovereignty to Av-
Iona "a seaport of Albania) and a
sphere of interest belonging thereto,
to be recognized.
Fifth, Austria Hungary declared her
political disinterestedness regarding
Albania.
sixth. the national interests of
Italians in Austria to be particularly
respected.
Seventh, Austria-Hungary to grant
amnesty to political military prisoners
belonging to the ceded territory
Italy's Wishes Assured Consideration.
Eighth, the further wishes of Italy
regarding the general question to be
assured every consideration.
Ninth, AustriaHungary, after the
confirmation of the agreement, to give
solemn declaration concerning the
concessions.
Tenth, mixed committees for the
regulation of the details of the con-
cessions to be appointed.
Eleventh, after the conclusion of
the agreement, Austro Hungarian SOL

tories, shall not further participate in

chancellor, that Germany, in order

Vienna cabinet, to give a full guaran-

BRITISH ARE TO USE
ASPHYXIATlNG GASES.
Kitchener Says Germans Will Be Me-
With Their Own "Diaboical Methoe
of Attack"

London, May 18, 500 p. m.-Earl
Kitchener gave a general review of
the situation in the war zone before
the house of lords adjourned for the
Whitsuntide holidays. Speaking of
the British offensive, he said the ac-
ton at Neuve Chapelle was fought
with great gal1antry, which enabled
US to occupy positions of considerable
military Importance previously held
by the enemy
the allied front near Ypres, Earl Kit
chener said:
I'm this attack the enemy employed
vast quantities of poisonous gases and
our soldiers and our French allies were
utterly unpreprared for this diaboli-
cal method of attack, which undoubt-
edly has been long and carefully pre-
pared"
Earl Kitchener at this point an
nounced the determination of the al
lies to resort to similar methods of
warfare.
''The Germans" said Lord Kitchen
er, have persisted in the use of these
asphyxiating gases whenever wind ia
Vored or other opportunity occurred
and His Majesty's government, no less
than the French government, feel that
our troops must be adequately pro-
tected by the employment of similar
methods so as to remove the enormous
and unjustifiable disadvantage which
must exist for them if we take no
steps to meet on his own ground the
enemy who is responsible for the in
PRODUCTION of this pernicious practice -
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1915-05-19

The imperial German chancellor. in
outlining in the reichstag the conces-
sions which Austria Hungary had Of
fered to Italy, conditional on Italian
neutrality, referred to the strained re-
lations between Italy and Austria and
declared: With its parliament, the
Italian people will now decide whether
it will reach the fulfillment of all its
national aspirations in the widest ex-
tent in a peaceful manner, or whether
it will plunge the country into war.
"' will not give up the hope
entirely that the scale of peace will
he heavier than the scale of war. q
. If the alliance is torn by one of the
three partners, we shall know, together
with the other partner, how to meet
the new danger with dauntless conf
dence and courage"
Italy as yet has made no decision.
The parliament is to meet Thursday,
and it is possible that action may be
delayed until that time. Meanwhile,
the German and Austrian ambassador
have been in conference with the Ital-
ian foreign minister. Special trains
are waiting to carry them out of the
country, if their departure becomes
necessary. One report has it that the
ambassadors have demanded their
passport. In London matters of su-
ton of coalition government and
Earl Kitcheners call for 300. 900 addi
tional men to form neW|armies.
The British secretary for war, speak
ing in the house of lords, announced
that as the Germans had persisted in
the use of asphyxiating gases, the
British and French governments were
of the opinion that their troops must
be adequately protected by the en-
ployment of similar methods"
In the war zones, reports of the ac-
tionS contain no outstanding feature.
In fact, rains and mists have inter-
fered seriously with the operations in
Flanders and France, where, during
the past week, a most determined
movement by the French and British
has been making Roadway.
A fierce battle is going on in Galicia,
the fortress of Przemysl being the OBJ
jective of great German and Austrian
armies. The western forts of Przemysl
have been heavily bombarded and be-
tween that stronghold, which is now
held by the Russians, and the Dniester
river, the Austro-German armies, at
tacking with the utmost determina-
tion, captured several Russian trench
es, although "at the cost of enormous
sacrifices" according to the Russian
statement.

RUMORS IN LONDON OF
A COALITION GOVERNMENT
Reports That Great Britain is Con-
fronted With Momentous Problems.

London, May 1S. 6.06 p. m-Per-
sistent rumors were in circulation in
the lobby of the house of commons to-
night that a coalition government was
about to be formed.
Unionist leaders held a conference
with Premier Asquith this afternoon
and it was said that the question of
coalition was settled.
Aco 0rding to these reports, the al
locution of officers has not been fl
nally determined. 1t is rumored that
A. ]. Balfour, former premier, will
succeed Winston Spencer Churchill as
first lord of the admiralty, the lat
ter taking some other office
All during the day there were re-
ports that the government had sud-
denly found itself confronted with
problems of momentous Importance
Announcements of the cancellation of
the cabinet council, which had been
summoned to meet at noon, of the
poStponement of Chancellor Llold
Georges projected tour of the county
to stimulate the output of munitions
of war and of approaching visits of
Mr.. Churchill and other ministers to
Mr.. Asquith all served to give color
to these reports.
Official information is still lacking
however, whether the cabinet is con-
sidering a, coalition government and
some well-informed persons advise
suspension of judgment until Premier
Asquith sees fit to take the country
into his confidence.

INDUSTRIAL AND SOCIAL
CONDITIONS IN AMERICA
Discussed by c. S. Darrow Before In
dustrial Relations Commission.

Washington, May 1S.-CIarence S.
Darrow, who defended the Mcnamara
brothers in the Los Angeles dynamit-
ing case, discussed industrial and So
cial conditions in America today be-
fore the industrial relations commits
sion- He expressed the hope that j.
B. Mcnamara, serving a life prison
sentence, would be pardoned and said
the pardon ought to come soon.
Mcnamara thought he was doing
something for the common good when
he blew up the Los Angeles Tines
said the lawyer.
"He risked his life because he be-
lieved in a cause and, looking at it
from his own standpoint, he was a
martyr"
Darrow told the commission that the
day was soon coming when hospitals
would be substituted for prisons that
punishment was barbarism, that blood
shed was essential to progress and al
ways had been, and that American lib
erty was theoretical delusion. The
people of England. he declared, had
more liberty than those of America.

EVENTS WHICH MAY
DELAY GERMAN REPLY
Austro- italian Situation May Absorb
Attention of Government.

Washington, May 1S.-Two import
ant factors, it became known tonight,
are working to delay for another
week Germany's reply to the Ameri-
can note of May 13 sent as a conse-
quence of the Lusitania disaster.
First the next fe wdays are expected
to decide whether Germany will be
confronted with a new military situa-
ton by the entrance of Italy into the
war and cutting off of all supplies
through the Mediterranean.
Second, interested diplomatists here
believe the interim of delay will re-
veal whether the United States of it's
own initiative will send a general pro-
test to the allies with respect to their
alleged violations of international law
by interfering with commerce between
American ports and neutral countries
of Europe.
Officials here generally think the
Austro-I Italian situation may absorb
the attention of the German govern
ment during this week and delay the
final composition of the reply. Such
information as the United States gov
ernment recently has received is of a
positive nature indicating that Italy
will soon enter the war, though in
Austro- German quarters here there is
still confidence that a break will be
aVerted.
1t is realized that should Italy be-
come a belligerent, Germany would lose
all hope of securing foodstuffs or other
supplies through the Mediterranean
and if Rumania followed Italys lead,
as predicted, the wheat supply from
Southwestern Europe would be cut off.
In such circumstances of almost COM
plete desolation, it was explained in
diplomatic quarters that Germany
would find the submarine even more
invaluable a weapon for reducing en-
emy supplies and commerce.

American solidarity based on right, on
jutice and on reciprocal tolerance,
that would be an example to the rest

FOR DISMISSAL OF INJUNCTION
AGAINST TREASURY OFFICIALS S
Arguments Continued in District Su-
Preme Court at Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Argument on
the motion of counsel for Secretary
McAdoo, Comptroller of the Currency
Williams and Treasurer Burke to dis
miss the temporary injunction against
the treasury officials secured by the
Riggs National bank continued today
before Justice Mccoy in the district
supreme court.
Frank j. Hogan concluded a lengthy
address against the motion on behalf
of the bank and Louis D. Brandeis
briefly outlined the governments con-
tention that the injunction should be
dismissed. Samuel Untermyer will
conclude the argument for the motion
tomorrow and will be followed by
Former Senator Bailey, who will close
for the bank.
While Mr.. Hogan was speaking, JUS
t1ce Mccoy remarked that he had seen
in the case as presented no evidence
OF a conspiracy between the secretary
and comptroller against the bank The
attorney replied that the record show
ed that the two officials worked to-
gether all down the line" but sug-
gested that the point was not material
to the present question at issue.
Mr.. Hogan argued at length in sup
port of the claim that the case pre-
sented was one proper for the consid-
GRAFTON of a court of equity and as
serted that an injunction was the
proper means OF reneL Tor the PLAIN
tiffs.
In reply Mr.. Brandeis contended that
on at least two points the petition for
injunctiVe relief had no standing in a
court of equity. He declared the court
could not properly enjoin the treasury
officials from Withholding as a penalty
provided by law interest due to the
bank on bonds deposited for circula-
ton security and that the secretary of
the treasury could not be restrained
in the use of his discretion under the
law in proposing to disapprove appli-
cations of banks to have the Riggs
bank designated a reserve depository
