IMPOSSIBLE TO FORCE
DARDANELLES, SAYS MEUCKs


NVAS0O &1OBBJ
Vienna, June 11.-"The Turks lost
heavily when the allies first began
the Dardanelles bombardment, but
since then the warships have worn
themselves out and making it impos-
sible to force the Dardanelles," said
Lieutenant Captain Won Meucks, of
the lost German cruiser Emden. He
added that all the allied warships
have been badly damaged and even
the Queen Elizabeth finds it neces-
sary to withdraw from the fighting
line occasionally. He said the Turks
were ideal soldiers and fight splendid
ly. They have plenty of war NUM-
tions and Constantinople is again
normal with it's populace confident
that the city will not be captured.
When the Emden was destroyed Won
Meucks and his comrades took the
British ship Arabia and escaped, sub
sequently reaching Constantinople.

stood, has been instructed to outline
the attitude Of the American govern.
ment in way that will merely sup
plant the statement of the position
in the note. In German quarters nc
| response from the imperial govern
i ment is looked for until after Ger
hard has reached Berlin, perhaps ten
days or a fortnight hence.
One phase of the note which at
tracted much attention in diplomatic
circles was that relating to media
tory steps on the part of the United
States looking toward a reformation
of warfare on the seas generally. In
this connection it is suggested that
the chief difficulty might be an in
sistence by Germany that the allies
refrain from interfering not only
with foodstuffs consigned to her civ
ilian population, but with raw ma
terials of all kinds.
Bryan's Appeal.
Bryan, in an appeal addressed Ito
the American people," last night ask
ed them to hear him before they pass
sentence upon his laying down the
portfolio as secretary of state in the
midst of an International stress.
Confident that the public will
credit him with honorable intentions,
Bryan frankly says that good inten-
lions are not enough and that if the
public verdict is against him, he asks
no mercy, asserting that men in pub
lie life must be willing to bear any
deserved punishment from octracism
to execution"
Note is Old System.
Interpreting the American note to
Germany on submarine warfare,
which he refused to sign, as con-
forming to "the old system of diplo-
matte Standards" the presidents for
which "are written in characters of
blood upon almost every page of hui
man history" and characterizing
himself as the new champion of the
new system of persuasion instead Of
force, as humble follower of the
Prince Of Peace" the former secre-
tary pleads for the United States to
lead the world tout of the black
night of war into the light Of, that
day when swords shall be beaten in-
to ploughshares."
Today Bryan will issue another
statement, in an appeal, he says, to
"German-Americans The nature of
this appeal he would not discuss, but
with the issuance of a third state
ment since his resignation, Bryan
says he will be ready to rest his
case.
"Of course, I shall always be
ready to talk when occasion arises
and l think it necessary" he de-
clared.
