TAFT PLEADS FOR
 RED CROSS CAUSE

San Francisco. August S.-William Howard Taft. pleaded the cause of the American Red Cross in an address today at Red Cross Day at the Panama-P cific exposition. He urged membership of millions, more funds, and neutrality in giving. He praised Americans for their reacy response to calls for relief funds when the European war began. but depre- cated the fact that two-thirds of the funds given were disbursed by relief bodies, organized on the spur of the moment, while the Red Cross stood ready with a trained organization to do the work.
 Mir. Taft said he did not undervalue '.the sweets of publicity and popular ap- plause." in promoting good work. but he thought the desire of donors for publicity was harmful when 1t led to a division of forces and an increase of unnecessary expense. He recounted the work of the Red Cross in the present war and its distribution in money. supplies and paid expert service of $2.00o.000.
 More funds" he said, should be urged, but our people are not as active in giving as they were.'
 He praised the work of Miss Mabel T. Boardman. t

Berlin, August 2S.-(Via London, August say the statement made in an American publication that Germany has lost 50 sub marines is ridiculous, as also is the state ment credited to British sources, placing the number at 3S. The naval men do not deny that the British had successes against the submarines, but say they have been nothing like such figures.
 Several successes announced by the British admiralty are declared as un- founded. For example. the admiralty today stated that the British report of destruction of German submarine off the Belgian coast by a bomb thrown by an aviator is untrue. Upon receipt of the

triumphed, and that every effort will be made to meet the views of President Wilson as expressed to the ambassador in an interview soon after the Lusi tania was destroyed. The German for eign office is believed to be ready tc encourage an informal exchange of views between Count Bernstorff and Secretary Lansing so the drafting of full reply to the last American note on the Lusitania, satisfactory to Wash ington, may be hastened.
 Developments Measuring
 It was stated positively today that whatever the German admiralty report may be in the Arabic case, the Berlin government will give assurances that its submarine commanders had received explicit instructions that no passenger ships be attacked without warning This was in accordance with sugges- tions of Count Bernstorff sent imme- diately after his interview with Presi- dent Wilson. Even should the sub marine commander attempt to justify his action. it is believed the German government will seek to make 1t clear that as national policy the warfare against passenger ships has been sus- pended. Already offers of reparation for American lives lost with the ship have been made informally, and Am bdSSdhCi lhSlolll IttlS lIldt DdGIlnS adjustment of minor details, the fric- tion between the two countries IS .,t an end.
 Out of the relaxing tension of the situation a new hope for peace in Eu- rope has sprung. German obse. vers here have noted that there is a group In each country which sees possibllitis s Iof American mediation behind the peace |. ful adjustment of the American German dispute. With one concession won from the belligerents by diplomatic means the security of the lives of neutrals on the high seas-it is thought pos sible other proposals may follow with ultimate restoration of peace as theif object. The ascendency of the liberal element in Germany, it is said, lends color to that view so far as Germany is concerned
