WILL INSIST 0N
 OPEN DOOR POLICY
SECRETARY BRYAN STATED THIS WILL BE POLICY OF UNITED
 STATES TOWARD CHINA.

Washington, April 20-While de clinng to discuss in detail the Ameri- can policy toward the Japanese-Chi- nese negotiations, Secretary Bryan told inquirers today that the United States government still stood firmly on the announcement made at the beginning of the Wilson administra- ton of it's purpose to support the policy of the open door and freedom of commercial opportunity in the far east
 Sir Edward Grey's statement of a similar character in the British par liament today indicated to officials that Great Britain's position had un- dergone no change and that the principle of the open door would con tinue to be the aim of the powers.
 The Japanese government itself has given the United States, as we'll as the other powers. assurances that it is not it's purpose to violate in any way either the open door policy or China's territorial integrity.
 How far the present demands on China by Japan may be considered as infringing upon these principles is a question which can be answered only ny knowledge of the details of the negotiations, something officials here are unwilling to discuss because of the injunction of secrecy placed upon the matter by the Japanese govern ment
 Officials here. however, have re- gently appeared optimistic over the progress of the negotiations, in1icat- ing a belief that the difficulties at Picking may be satisfactorily ad' iusted without requiring further diplo- matic correspondence between the United States and Japan.
 Secretary Bryan declined to com. ment on the denial issued at Picking by American Minister l%ainsch of re- ports that the United States would not lend it's moral assistance to China in the present situation. Presi- dent Wilson, however, already has de- clared such reports to be without foundation, announcing that the United States has not indicated it's position in one way or another.

and controlled by it's members, and by them alone; one that Is our ser want and not our master.
 So we are here today. democrats land radicals, vets and drys. dffe. ing on every subject on which men think; but all as one in demanding, that so far as is humanely possible. no trace of partisanship ard no hint of propaganda shall be found in our news report
 Furnished with the news. we are .Quite able and more than willing. in .dividually. to supply the necessary views Thus by easy steps | have come to the fact that because of it's traditions and it's code, and perhaps also because of the neyer-ceasing watchfulness of nine hundred mem. bers, it has come to pass that few people on earth are capable of giv-
 ing the management of the Associ- ated Press any points on maintain fng strict, though benevolent, neu- 1rality on all questions on which we can be neutral and still be what we are-loyal Americans.
 We point with pride to the years and the occasions through waich we have balanced on every discoverable fence
 I've know. too-none better that the genuine neutral, the honest neutral, is always the target of every partisan, and we find some solace that this fact is now being demon strated to the world at large.
 Today, however, We willingly lower our crest to one who has dem onstrated in these agonizing times his mastership of the principles of true neutrality, and who, fully realz- ing the dreadful consequences of any departure from these principles, has nobly borne his terrible burden of responsibility in guarding the peace the welfare and the dignity of our common country.
 Our distinguished guest who so honoTs us today may surely know that in the perplexities and trials of these days so black for humanity he has our thorough, loyal and affec- tionate support.
 God grant him continuing success in his hign aims of the peace prog ress of the people of the United States.
 At these annual gatherings it is our custom to offer but one toast. ask you to drink to the health of Woodrow Wilsony the president of the United States"

brilliant cutting out operation in the Dardanelles, Young officers and seamen from the British shils vOlun- teered for the dangerous task of de- stroying the submarine E-lj, which stranded under the Turkish guns and which it was essential should not fall into the hands of the Turks. They did their work well and all that was left of the craft was tangled mass of iron, from which the Turks are not likely to learn any of the secrets of the latest British submarine. Al though the plucky crews in their lit- tie boats were subjected to a heavy fire, they escaped with the loss of one man.
 The Austro4Italian situation is still shrOuded in mystery. A German wire less dispatch says that the recent frontier incident has been settled but dispatches by way of Paris describe the position as hopeless. It also is re- ported tonight that martial law has been proclaimed in Trent, owing to disorderes.

STRETCHED HIS CAREER AND TOLD OF HIS ORGANIZING THE
 ROUGH RIDERS.
AT EASE IN WITNESS CHAIR
The Colonel Swore That MT Barnes Told Him 1t Was Essential to Pro- tect Big Business Interests to Get Campaign Contributions.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 20. Theo dore Roosevelt former president of the United States, went on the wit ness stand in the supreme court here today and testified in an effort to prove his contention that he was jus. tified in causing the publication ot the statement upon which William Barnes sued him to recover $50,OO0 for alleged libel Under oath he said that the former chairman of the re- publican state committee had urged him not to antagonize men of large business who contributed to both the democratic and republican parties so that they would be protected
 Mir Barnes told aim. Colonel Roosevelt swore, that it was essential to protect big business interests, and that unless they were protected they would not make contributions to the party failing to protect them, and that without such contributions it was i'm. possible to carry on the organization Without organization leaders and bosses, the former president quoted Mir. Barnes as saying, party govern. ment would be impossible
 Colonel Roosevelt also quoted Mr. Barnes as telling him that the peo- pie are not fit to govern themselves. They have got to be governed by the party organization and you cannot run an organization you cannot have leaders unless you have money
 Colonel Roosevelt was called to the stand and as a witness for the pla h. tiff after a technical question of proper identification of the plaintiff and defendant had been brought up by the lawyers, He was asked just one question That was whether he was the defendant in the affirmative and was then made a witness in his own behalf.
 lie sketched his political career and with considerable pride discussed the regiment of Rough Riders he organ ized for service in the Spanish war. He told where the recruits came from. where they gathered, where they went and just what they did He even described the first brush with the Spanish forces and would have related orders he had given the men under him had not counsel for the plaintiff objected. Then he gave de- tailed testimony about his relations with the late Senator Thomas C. Platt, with Mr Barnes, and converse. tions he had with both those men on various occasions. He will continue his testimony tomorrow.
 Colonel Roosevelt talked to the counsel for both sides, offered sag- gestions and entered into a discus sion of more than one point with Justice William $. Andrews, presid- ing. whom he addressed as Judge" He was entirely at his ease in the witness chair He stretched his arms over the back of his chair, crossed first one leg and then the other, and adjusted and re-adjusJed his glasses from time to time
 He cut all his words off shortly eX- cept when he mentioned the name of MT Barnes. He drew out the name of his opponent and put pecul iar pronunciation upon the last syllable.
 MT. Barnes himself appeared to be very much interested in the first part

HEAD OF ASSOCIATED PRESS LAUDS WILSON FOR HIS
 WAR POLICY.
GUEST AT ANNUAL LUNCHEON
Annual Toast Was Drunk to Health
 of Woodrow Wilson, President of
 the United states-President De- clares Great Distinction Awaits Us.
MsEMzxTsss.

New York. April 20.-Presdent
 Wilson today gave a definite stato
 ment of the neutrality which is guid, Ming his administration during the war in Europe He chose the occa. sion of the annual luncneon of the Associated Press for what he said
 he regarded as a statement of gray. est importance to the American peo ple. The influence of the newspaper in moulding public opinion, Mr. Will son said, prompted him to make clear his ideas of true neutrality. and
 in doing so to impress upon his hear CTS the importance of adhering 'strictly to truthfulness and honesty
 in the dissemination of the news.
 MT Wilson seemed to weigh each word he uttered. Tine importance at. taChed to his statement was reflected pn a request that no attempt be made ito paraphrase his speech or to give dt publicity until the official White House stenograpler had transcribed it in full.
 As the only great nation not en- gagged in the war or suffering under the immediate influence of the war zone, Mir Wilson declared that great distinction awaited the United States when the hour of 7eadiust- ment should come, provided this nation should prove to the world it's self-control and se'f-mastery. The past has been difficult, he pointed Out, but the future would be more difficult. America, the president said, would never attempt to sit in judgement upon another nation. No nation was fit to do that. ne added But America. free from hampering ambitions as world power, free of lust for territory. calm, cool and without selfinterest, must be ap- pealed to to assist in the reconstruct ing processes of peace.
 The neutrality of the United States MT Wilson said, had a higher basis | than a petty desire to keep ont of trouble.
 There is something so much 1 greater to do than fight" he said, | "Let us think of America before we think of Europe in order that Amer. ica may be fit to be Europes friend | when the day of tested friendship | eomes. The test of friendship is not sympathy with one side or the other, but getting ready to help both sides when the struggle is over.'
 The president, greeted with cheers when he appeared at the luncheon. constantly was interrupted by ap- plause and expressions of approval
 Mr. Wilson was introduced by President Frank B. Moves. of the Associated Press, and was the only Speaker at the luncheon.
 We are gathered here today" Mir. Moves said, the membership of what I believe is in scope and importance of activities the greatest co-opera- tive, non-profiting organization in the world The function of the Asso- ciated Press is to furnish it's mem beys a service of world news that shall be untainted and without bias of any sort To insure this we have formed an organization that is owned
