by the American embassy at Rome.
The Communipaw was owned by

MILITARY ACTIVITY CAUSE
OF REQUEST FOR RECALLS
Landing Explains to German Govern.
neat Reasons Why This Nation
Wants Attaches to Leave.

Secretary Lansing has communicat-
ed to Germany through Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
the reasons which caused the United
States government to request the i'm
mediate withdrawal Of Capt. Karl
Boyd and Capt. Franz Won Papen,
respectively naval and military at
taehes Of the embassy.
In the communication, Mr.. Lansing g
is understood to have stated that the
naval and military activities of the
attaches constituted the principal Of
ferses. 1t is said that there was no
discussion of facts relating to the
reasons for the state departments re-
quest nor any disclosure Of the de-
partment's information.
Whether Germany expected a dis
cussion of the effects has not been
made public. Officials have been
awaiting with interest TO see wheth-
or the Berlin foreign office will be
satisfied with the broad and general
reasons. The opinion seems to pre-
vail that Germany might, with the
reasons before it, instruct the ambas-
sador to send the attaches away with
oat further delay. In some quarters,
however, it was thought another COM
might come from Berlin.

be expected to do otherwise than to
demand that tho imperial and roya!
government denounco the sinking OF
the Ancona az an illegal and inde-
fensible act: tl.at the officer who per
petuatad the deed be punished. and
that reparation by the payment OF an
indemnity be made for the citizens OF
the United States who were killed or
injured by the attack on the vessel.
The government of the United
States expects that the Austro-Hln-
garion government, cppreciating the
gravity Of tie c:se. will accede to its
demand promptly and it -ests this ex-
pectstion on the belief that the Aus
tro-Hungsrian government will not
sanction or defend IN act which is
condemned by the world as inhumane
and harbarous. which is ab+cTrent to
all civilized n,tions. and which has
caused the death Of innocent Ameri-
can citizens.

WILSON TELLS COMMITTEE
DEMOCRATS SURE TO WIN
President Talks Informally With Ma
tional ComHittoemon and
Sees Victory Ahead

President Wilson told members ot
| the Democratic national committee al
a luncheon in the Senate dining room
| of the White House Wednesday thai
the Republicans had no issue for the
next campaign except the tariff and
that Democracy was certain to win.
Our constructive work has start
ed an Irresistible movement, which
can not be stopped" he declared
Amy one who tells you otherwise Is
talking through his hat"
Mr.. Wilson said nothing to tndi-
cate whether he would again be z
candidate for tho presidency.
Throughout his entire talk, which
dealt with subjects ranging from
Democratic chances Of victory to fea-
lures CT the Isolated" life Of chief
executive, the president was infor-
NAL. Taking his place at the head
Of the table, he thrust his hands into
his trouser pockets, east aside what
he termed his dress parade" Ian
guase and talked freely and conf
dentially.
Democrats Of all factions greeted
his remarks enthusiastically. They
left the White House in buoyant
spirits, declaring that his e1tiEism
had inspired them with new conf
dence. 1t was tho frSt tino, eon-
mitteenca said, that their body had
teen received as whole in the White
House. They expressed regret that
the text Of the prssidnt's speech
would not DO given out, a. they re-
garded it ~ q vigorous eaRpaisL
argument.
At the outset the president said he
wanted the members to feel that they
were part Of big family, Of which
he was . member He asked wheth-
or any one present could suggest any
campaign argument other than the
tariff, which the Democratic eppoei-
ton could advance, and they shook
their heads. Nobody knew 1T this
time, he added, what sort Of tariff
measure must be framed to meet
changed conditions resulting from
the war
Discussing parties and policies
generally, the president insisted that
the Democratic view was that the
majority should rule, while that Of
their opponents was that board of
trustees" should act for the people.
Touching upon the Mexican prob
lem, he said this same majority rule
should apply in Mexico as woll a. this
country, without regard to the wishes
OF persons residing in other eoun-
tries, who hold Mexican property. He
expressed the belief that in due time
peace would come in Mexico, when
the people were thoroughly tired OF
raising disturbances.

Physical Force" Does Not

CHICAGO, Aug. SO.-"The applica-
ton of physical force will neither es-
tablish nor maintain just and fair
relations between the employers and
the employed" This Is the outstand-
ing conclusion reached by Luke
Grant on the controversy between the
National EreCtors association and the
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Ironworkersl in re-
port made public by the Industrial
Relations Commission.
Many incidents may be cited in the
industrial world, the report de-
clared. where the use of physical
force has for a time won an advan-
tage for the side that used it. Such
gains, however are temporary and
do not make for a permanent indus

Grant held that the abuse Of pow
er was not always on the side of the
employer and declared that where
unions are in complete control, abus-
es is as apt to develop as when the
employers exercise absolute power.

AMERICAN MARKET FAR BELOW
LIVERPOOL EVEN WHEN HIGH
CHARTERS DEDUCTED.

Today's wire reports show a further
drop in the wheat market both in
Chicago and Portland, indicating the
bearish efforts still continue. The
Liverpool market remains strong,
there being a difference of So cents
between the top Liverpool price and
the Portland bid price for club. The
ocean freight. figured at so shillings
means so cents a bushel. Hence
there is a spread of some 36 cents aft
er the high charters have been ac-
counted for. This estimate however
does not take in insurance, handling
charges or the exchange cost. An
other feature of the story is the pos
sibility the Liverpool prices may IN
reality be higher than reported, as is
true in the Portland market,
