Ambassador Gerard at Berlin today
notified the state department OF the de-

delivery had been reported IN news dis

Dumba Calls on Bryan.
DR.. Constantine Dumba, the Austri-
an ambassador, a a long conference
today with Secretary Bryan and other
state department officials. While the
ambassador would not discuss the OBJ
1eGt OF his can, the impression pre-
vailed in well informed circles that he
had ~endeavOred to sound out feeling
with a view toward assisting in a
peaceful settlement Of the situation
with Germany.
1t is known that the Austrian am
baSsador m Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, have been In close
consultation for several days, and that
Austria is watching within deep interest
The course of events between tho
United States and her ally, throwing
her influence in the direction Of pre-
venting n rupture in friendly rela-
lions.
The seriousness OF the sinking OF tho
Lusitania, the intense feeling 1t has
aroused in the United States, and the
country wide support which has been
given to President Wilson's note are
facts which both the Austrian and
German ambassadors are understood to
have communicated to their respective
governments. 1t was believed also that
they had cautioned extreme care for
the present at least IN the submarine
warfare to avoid any act which would
further intensity feeling in the United
States.
That the United States Is standing
firmly on the absolute justice, both
from a legal and a humane point OF
view Of its position, and therefore a
nothing to arbitrate, was the interpre-
tation which many officials gave as the
enswer to suggestions that Germany
would offer to ATbitrats the 0aANeAhSS~

said.

dent received Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commanding the department Of the
east, Admiral Fletcher. and the rank
ing officers of the Atlantic fleet, who
were in full uniform, and Cornelius
Vanderbilt, chairman Of the citizens
committee.
In his room the president received a
number of kilograms from Washington
relating to the foreign situation. 1t
was said they contained nothing re-
qutring his immediate attention.
There were about 500 guests at the
luncheon, which was held on the 18th
floor Of the building. Among those at
the table with the president were: Sec
rotary Daniels, Secretary Redield, Ad-
miral Fletcher, Major General Wood,
Rear Admiral Usher, Rear Admiral
Benson and Joseph II. Choate.
Two woman suffragists eluded the
heavy guard stationed in the hotel and
succeeded in reaching the floor where
the president was al luncheon. They
managed to see Secretary Tumulty and
gave him a letter to be delivered to
the president.
MI. Tumulty was walking away
from the door, n Of the women ex-

Mr.. Tumulty told the women they
were impolite and would receive no

When the president left the room
where the luncheon was held the two
women, who had returned, stepped out
Of an ante-room and, confronting him,
exclaimed:
Votes for women! Votes for women!
Mr.. President, we have a message for
you" They got no further in their
appeal. Four secret service men seized
them quickly and took them away.
The president smiled.

RIGGS BANK HELPED
NEEDY POLITICIANS
Played No Favorites as Between
Parties-Three Iowans
Among Borrowers.

Washington d. c.. May 1S.-The
controversy between the Riggs bank
and Secretary McAdoo and Comptrol-
Ter williams has partly taken on the
form of a war OF words and state
ments. The bank in its latest state
ments defends 1T course in making
loans to officials. a v II did not try
to influence them and also that in the
answer flied by the treasury officials
in court they list only loans to certain
republicans. whereas they have loaned
to republicans and democratic officials
and congressman.
Three Iowans are involved in the
borrowings from the bank. They are:
Leslie NJ, Shaw, Robert Il. Armstrong,
former assistant secretary of the
treasury, and A. +. Slater, formerly
Of Sioux City, for a time an assistant
Of the treasurer. All their loans were
repaid. The Shaw, Armstrong and
Slater loans were obtained while in
office, but have nothing tn do with the
actual proceedings in court at this
time, except that they are brought forth
by treasury officials to shed light on
the banks methods.

London. May 1S.-Another sudden
thrust at the German line-this time
north of La Bassee has been made by
the allies, and according to French and
British official reports has been at
ended with conspicuous success. The
claim of the British hat the German
Ine was broken down over the greater
part Of a two-mile section is disputed
powever, by the German war office
which says all attacks of the allies were
repulsed. h operations now in pro-
gress are characterized as the most
important Of any since last fall.
Field Marshal Sir John French has
broken his silence In regard to the
movements of the British army north
west Of LaBassee with the announce
ment Of an advance of nearly a mile in
20 the German line. This, together with
ihe continuance of the French thrusts
both north of Ypres and southwest of
IA BasSe constitutes the outstanding
feature of the military situation today.
Military commentators here regard
he British advance as a genuine break
IF the German line, which If maintained
u mean a retreat for a considerable
IeCtiOn of the invaders forces.
Recapture Of the bridge over the
User canal at ~Steenstraete by the
French deprives the Germans of their
last connection with the west side of
,he waterway. German assaults on the
British position at Ypres seem to have
spent themselves at least for a moment
as Field Marshal French reports all has
been quiet there for the past 4S hours.
