Reply to Be Delayed An other Week is Now Be lief - Bandit UpIisings Threatened at Fl Paso and Other Texas Points
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Indica tion that Carranza's reply to the Pan American appeal for peace conference will be delayed another week is believed to be shown in a cable from Consul Silliman contain ing communication from Jesus Acuna, Carra 1za's foreign minister, asking whether Secretary Lansing, and the Latin American diplomats acted in their official or private cap acities in addressing the appeal to Mexico. This is the first word from the Carrauza government.
 It is intimated in official circles that the only response to Acuna's question will be in the form of a message to Consul 'Silliman directing lis attention to the fact that Lam sing and all the other conferees at tached their full titles to their sig natures. This, it is pointed out, left no room for doubt Nthat the conferees acted officially Secretary Lansing discussed the Mexican situation with the Argentine ambassador. He also talked with Dr. Juan Ortego, the Guatemalan minister to Mexico, who was ordered from that country by Carranza Later Mexico was the subject of a conference between Lan- sing and the British ambassador.

 This camp. held under government auspices. is successfully demonstrat- ing many things of great moment. Its virtue consisted in the fact that it conveyed it's own impressive lessons in its practical and successful opera tion and results.
 No opportunity should have been furnished for any one to present to the men any matter excepting that which is essential to the necessary training they are to receive. Any thing else could only have the effect of distracting attention from the real nature of the experiment, and divert ing consideration to issues which eX cite controversy. antagonisism and ill., feeling thereby impairing, if not de stroying. what otherwise would have been so effective.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The scream of shells and the roar of cannon rolled over the waters of Long Island sound. The long silent twelve-inch mortars of Fort Totten, guarding the northern entrance to the New York harbor found tongue and sent eighteen TOO pound projectiles hurting toward a target 13,00O yards off shore.
 Conditions of actual warfare were duplicated as far as possible. The hits scored will not be computed, it is said, for several days.
 In the little observatory on Sandy point, six miles away officers directed the sighting of the mortars by tele- phone, computing by mathematical formula the range angle fire and other intricate factors to be considered The artillerymen saw nothing of the target but followed the orders of the comman- der a few feet away in the pit.
 Observers shading their eyes against the glare of the sun on the water saw the target as a dot of the horizon. Its agtual measurements were ten feet high by ten feet wide at the base. The

Deplores Spectacular Fea- ture of Murder Trials - Governors See Big Mill taly Parade of Massa- chusetts Guards
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

BOSTON, Aug. 26-Al demonstra- ton of the preparedness for active military servIce of Massachusetts, quota of the National Guard was given visiting governors and a great throng of citizens in a parade of the entire state militia here today. Yes terday the governors saw tn manu- yrs of a part of the nations naval arm Tomorrow they will consider the general topic of Preparedness and Defense"
 Papers advocating the abolition of the death penalty were read at the session of governors today by Gov ernors Hunt of Arizona and Dunne of Illinois. Others who favored the abolition of the death penalty were former Governor Haines of Maine and Ammons of Colorado. Governor Manning of South Carolina said that when a Iyncking took place in his state the county had to pay $2000 to the family of the victim.
 After a session devoted to the treatment of prisoners and capital punishment the governors were es- corted to the reviewing stand to view the militia parade.
 Governor Walsh, on horseback, Deduet the parade, as COiilHIdhueI in-chief of the sta'e forces Each infantry regiment had a machine gun company. and after these came the field artillery, naval brigade, sig nal and hospital corps and a long baggage train. Senator Henry Cab ct Lodge, Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, retired, were with Governor Walsh. The visiting gov ernors and the former governor were on the reviewing stand while the militamen marched past.
 Governor Hunt, in advocating the abolition of the death penalty, con tended that if arguments for capital punishment as a deterrent were sound then death should be made the penalty for all crimes
 Tt is my unqualified belief he said. that the average execution kindles the flame of brute passion in the human heart and sets up an example of organized violence for great masses of people. In numerous instances when the trial is widely heralded and the murderer meets death bravely, it has the uhanticipat- cd effect of idealizing the criminal"
 Governor Hunt said in part:
 Although it is, at first thought. in conceivable that anyone in this enliSht- ened age would draw upon the old tes lament, which is quite generally re- garded as purely historical narrative of ancient times, for authority to legal ly kill. it is nevertheless, trus that many people quote, as source of justi- fications, that portion of the Mosaic

Ambassador Gerard Also Reports on Conference With Minister von Jagow Which Causes Optimism Among Officials
ASSOCIATED PREss prsPArcH1

WASHINGTON. Aug 26-TWo i'm portant developments in the relations between the United States and Ger many further reduced the tensity ol th situation. Ambassador van Bern storff, told Secretary Lansing the statement presented on Tuesday by the direction of the Berlin foreign office was intended to imply that German submarine commanders had been ord cred to attack no more merchantmen without warning. Amha ssador Ger ard reporting on his conference with Minister von Jagow, confirmed dis patches that Germany even before tine sinking or tine Arabic had adopted a policy designed to settle satisfactorily the whole submarine problem.
 The state department did not make public Ambassador Gerard's dispatch but the optimism immediately reflect ed at the state department and the White House was taken as convincing proof that the situation once threaten - ing break in the friendly relations between the two countries was well on :ts way towards a satisfactory solution
 The more hopeful officials thought the crisis was past and inferred that The views which von Bernstorff has been urging upon Berlin ever since tha sinking of the LUsitania had prevailed with the support of the liberals in Ger many who have been opposing the an i-American policy of the conservatives One fact was outstanding in the whole situation. It was that a further com munication is coming from Germany outlining a policy which it is said is expected to be satisfactory to the United States.
 It is understood that Germany will announce a suspension of her subma- rine warfare on passenger carving ships. and that submarine commanders viii be instructed not to sink any more merchantmen without warning pending a diplomatic discussion of the proposal for a modus vivendi for the relaxation of the British blockade against neutral commerce From sl1ch information as reached here it was ap- pavent the sinking of the Arabic-as- suming the ship was sunk by a sub m1rine-was as much Of surprise to Germany as it was to the rest of The world

Hears That Secretary Gar rison Criticized Major General Wood for Per hitting Such UtteIanceS at Soldiery Camp
ADMINISTER ATION
 IS LEFT OUT
Says Object of Camp is iii Lesson Afforded in Teach ing Our People What the Nation Should Do for Her Sons
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK, Aug. 2G - Colonel Roosevelt, upon being advised that Secretary Garrison mad today sent a telegram to Major General Wood ex- pressing deprecation that opportunity had been given for the Colonel's sen sational speech yesterday. and di- recting that nothing similar be per mitted, said he was entirely responsi- ble for his own remarks at PIatts- burg. He also said he considered the secretary had no right to criticize General Wood.
 The Colonel said that Secretary Garrison knew nearly three weeks ago that he with other citizens and also the president and Secretary Garrison himself had been invited to speak at the military camp. He said: If he desired General Wood to notify IS in advance what we were expected to say or leave unsaid it was clearly his duty to direct the general accord ingly."
 He said that in his speech yester- day he did not mention the president or the administration, but spoke pure ly of the nation and of the people of the United States.
  the Colonel. that the men who paid their expenses in order to go to tnrs camp were citizens deeply interested in the welfare of their country; men who know that the greatest value of this camp lies in the months training but in the object lesson in teaching our people what the nation should dc for her sons by teaching them in time of peace how to do their duty by the nation in time of war"
 The coloneIs statement follows in full:
 Nearly three weeks ago it was an nounced in the public press, the state mcnt being carried prominently in eV- cry big newspaper, that in addition to the president and Secretary Garrison, some scores of ITivatc citizens had been asked to go fo Plattsburs camp, where it was expected they would speak to the men.
 Among the names mentioned in ad- dition to my own were those of forn'ar President Taft. Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell. It is. of course, impos sible that Secretary Garrison can have been ignorant that we were asked and if he desired General Wood to notify us in advance what We were expected to say or leave unsaid it was clearly his duty to direct the general accord ingly.
