Comment I'm Paris.

Paris, Sept 6-Great prominence IS
given by the morning papers 20 the
torpedoing Of the Hesperian, but all
declare themselves at a loss to find a
theory to account for such a proceed
ing by German submarine. six days
after Ambassador Won Bernstorfr's
solemn assurances 20 the United
States that no more liners would be
torpedoed unless they tried to ram the
underwater craft or attempted to es-
cape, neither of which the Hesperian
appears 10 have done.
1T remains TO be seen" says the
Petit Parisien, how American opin-
ion win take the event. In all Hkeli-
hood the torpedOinE OF the Hesperian
viii bring back the state Of tension
which Ambassador Won Bernstorff fiat
tered himself had been dispeIled for
Americans will realize that fllusory
promises Of the imperial ambassador
furnish not the slightest additional
guarantee to those Of them who are
called upon TO cross the Atlantic"

DENY POPE SENT
WILSON LETTER
Italian Journal Declares No Direct
Message Concerning Peace Was
Given to President

Rome, Sept. tyia Paris The GiOr-
male D'Italia says; Having obtained
authoritative information, we are able
to state that TAG gqIae sent to Presi-
dent Wilson no Autograph letter, no
message concerning peace, and not
even the original copy Of the ponhfi-
cal letter to the heads Of the bellIger-
ent peoples"
This newspaper says further that
Washington reports that Cardinal Glib
bons presented 10 President Wilson a
letter from the pope are open to doubt,
especially in view Of the fact that the
Observatore Romano, the organ Of the
vatican, suppressed that portion of
Washington dispatches which related
to the message Cardinal Gibbons is
said to have presented to the presi-
dent.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 6--The ap-
parent conflict between Rome and
dispatches regarding Pope
Benedict's peace message TO President
Wilson is regarded here as resting
solely over whether the pope actually
a personal message to the
president
Cardinal Gibbons on his visit to the
White house last Thursday said he had
delivered a message from the pope to
the president, but could not divulge its
contents. It was learned that the mes
sage which came as a Cablegram from
Rome addressed to the cardinal last
Monday contained CONGRATULATIONS Of
Pope Benedict to President Wilson for
his efforts on behalf Of peace and eX-
pressed the views of the Vatican which
are well known. Thus, TECHNICALLY the
message was to Cardinal Gibbons. al
though he was commanded to express
certain views to President Wilson
That is the course generally pursued
In diplomatic relations.
In Catholic circles here it is believed
the Vatican intended Cardinal Gibbons
should express to the president what
he knew to be the pontih's position and
that the pope, while probably believing
that the time was not one for a direct
personal communication, took the op-
oortunity for preparing the way for
such message. It is believed here
that the statements from Rome we're
prompted by requests for the text Of
what was believed there to have been
a formal communication from the yati-
can to the White house and that they
were not intended as denials Of the
story as it has been published in this
country.

Austrian Ambassador i'd.
Inits He Had Plan to Tie
Up Munition Plants.

Lenox. Mass. Sept, 6-Dr. Constan-
tin 7. Dumba. the Austro-Hungarian

Archibald, detained in England, the
American correspondent, was a dis
patch bearer to his government, and
that the letter written in New York

eign Minister Burlan in Vienna.
DR.. Dumba also confesses that an
attempt 10 embarrass the munition
plants by calling out men Of Austro-
Hungarian citizenship had been dis
cussed, and that likely. in the event
this is done, a labor employment bu-
reau will have to be organized to take
care Of the unemployed Hungarians,
and it was this proposal that Archi-
bald carried with him.
DR. Dumba says there has been no
conspiracy and that articles looking
toward calling out all Of the men Of
Austro- ngarian citizenship from
plants making war supplies had been
printed In newspapers published in
foreign languages in New York and
elsewhere,
As the responsible head of his gov
ernmeut in the United States he has
sought to show the men OF Hungarian
birth and citizens Of Austria Hungary
that employment in arms and munition
plants, where the product Il TO be
used by the allies, is a felony in their
country, and that workers IN plants
are liable in Hungary to long
terms Of imprisonment or penal servi-
ude for rendering vital assistance to
their enemies.
