PAY TRIBUTE TO FR0HMAN
Many Stage Folk and Authors Attend
Funeral Of Lusitania Victim In
New York.

New York. May 25.-Every familiar
figure OF the New York Rialto was to
be seen paying a last tribute to the
memory of Charles Frohman in Tenn
pie Emanuel, Fifth avenue and For
ty-third street. Throughout England
and America the Frohman theaters
and attractions remained closed for
the day as mark of respect.
The funeral of the Lusitania victim,
who was Americas foremost play pro-
ducer, brought together such a gath
ering Of notable stage folk, authors
and persons prominent in the intellec-
tual and artistic life of the metropolis
as is seldom to be seen. The exer.
cises were simple. as Mr.. F'rohman
had wished. They followed an earlier
private service at the home of Daniel
Frohman.

the allies Germany would throw up
the sponge. Now that Italy has cast
its lot with the allies, Germany seems
as far as ever from conceding event
ual defeat.
"The action of Italy will only pro-
long the war and postpone German
victory" said one of the most promi-
nent officials of the German embassy
at Washington. Germany is fighting
a war Of defense, and will be success.
full in keeping her territory free of
invaders, no matter how many enc
mics combine against it.
"The question of peace is only the
question of Germany's enemies per-
ceiving and realizing the futility OF
further wasting of men and money to
attain their ends"
The Germans and Austrians are con-
fident that Italy will cause them little
trouble. They say that the Austrian
Notifications and 100000 men will be
sufficient to check the Italian attempt
to invade Austria. Austrian and Ger
man Ofnc1alS pronounce the 1ortlnca-
tions on the Italian frontier impreg-
nable.
American military experts are spec
ulating upon the possibility that Ger
many will invade Switzerland in order
to combat Italy more effectively.
Switzerland unquestionably would con-
slider such invasion a violation of neu'
trality analogous to the German inva.
sion of Belgium in the effort to out.
flank the French.
The charge has been made that Aus
trian and German plans for the inva-
sion of Switzerland we're drawn up
more than a year ago.
Inasmuch, however, as Switzerland
has an army of 100000 and strategic
position on the German frontier, it is
regarded as unlikely that the kaiser
will permit any disregard of Swiss
neutrality.

DELEGATES FROM 1s NATIONS
Wilson Welcomes Representatives OF
RepubIics-Conference for Union

Labors to Aid All.

Washington, May 26.-Some Of the
obstacles which war across the Allan
tic has thrown into the paths of in
dustrial and commercial prosperity
and the march of trade in the western
hemisphere were outlined at the first
session Of the Pan-American Financial
conference.
The outstanding thought of the con-
ference, as it was expressed by many
speakers, was the crying need for i'm
provement of transportation, for re-
adjustment of methods of financial ex-
change and for uniformity of laws
north and south of the equator in re-
lation to subjects which Vitally affect
international relations
Wilson Welcomes Delegates.
Steps were taken at the close of the
day to pave the way for uniform sta
tutes through the appointment of Il
committee with a representative from
each invited nation and several repre-
sentatives of the United States.
President Wilson, who welcomed the
delegates to this country, dwelt upon
the need for development of transpor-
tation, and Secretaries Bryan. Red
field and McAdoo, and Postmaster
General Burleson later added their rec
concentrations for steamship lines. in
dependent of Europe, to ply between
all the principal ports of the Amer
icas.
Expression of this idea eliminated
In the promise of Secretary McAdoo
to select a committee of representa-
tives Of the United States and Of South
American countries including Argen-
tina, Brazil, Chile and possibly others,
to take up the question of steamship
lines, either cooperative under the
governments or under private control.
Represent Eighteen Republics.
Besides delegations from 1S Latin
American republics participating in
the conference, which is to continue
throughout the week, are members OF
President Wilson's cabinet, the Fed
eral Reserve board, the Federal Trade
| commission, treasury officials and
more than 100 representatives of great
| American banks, industrial corpora
| tions and commercial houses. Tho
American business men and financters
were named by Secretary McAdoo as
official representatives OF the United
States at the conference.
The opening day was devoted chiefly
to speech making.
| President Wilson began an unequiy-
ocal declaration that the conference
was not for the exploitation of the
| invited nations, but for a union of in
terests in which the United States
will not try to make use of the
others, but to labor to the advantage
| of all.
Way to Permanent Peace.
1T would be a very great thing"
said the President, IF the Americas
could add to the distinction which they
already wear of showing the way to
peace, to permanent peace. The way
to peace, for us, at any rate, is mani
fest. 1t is the kind of rivalry that
does not involve aggression. 1t is
the knowledge that men can be OF
| the greatest service to one another
when the jealousy between them is
merely jealousy of excellence. and
when the basis of their intercourse
is friendship"

tions His Capacity.

London, May A.-The British peo
pie have been talking of nothing but
who should be members Of the new
coalition cabinet. They were forgot
ten, however, in the controversy over
Lord Kitchener.
The Times and the Daily Mail have
attacked the competency of the wal
ministry and the impeachment of the
Daily Mail was particularly fierce. An
upheaval Of popular resentment
against these newspapers and their
dominating spirit, Lord Northcliffe
quickly followed.
The stock exchange men held an
excited meeting, formally burned
copies of the Times and the Daily
Mail and adopted resolutions support
ing Lord Kitchener Other meetings
Of protest are being planned and a
large section of the press has come
to his support.
The Pail Mall Gazette says the at
tacks made on Kitchener have rem
dered him more powerful and popular
than ever. The criticism Of Lord
Kitchener appears to have had it's first
inspiration in a message last week
from the Times military expert al
British headquarters in France. The
expert asserted that the British Of
fensive has been crippled by lach
of high explosive shells and called
for more shells.
When the proposed reorganization
of the government was announced
several newspapers suggested in con
siderate terms that i'm attempting tC
raise and organize great volunteer
armies and at the same time manage
the equipment and supplies thereof
the war minister had taken upon his
shoulders a heavier burden than any
man could carry.
They proposed that organization
and supply should be made separate
departments, and opinion settled upon
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
exchequer, for the latter work.
Some of the newspapers discussed
the possibility of Lord Kitchener be
ing made commander-in-chief of the
armies in the field. The Daily Mail
however, attacked Lord Kitchener's
South African record as a fightins
general and questioned his capacity
to command an army in the European
war.

Paris, May 24.-German aviators

the German aviators dropped three

All three bombs were ineffective and
virtually no damage was done. The

if it is to keep it's place among the

Garrison told the pacifists gathered
here for the annual conference on in,
ternational arbitration, in a brilliant
speech, carefully argued and bristling
with striking epigrams.
He declared the real problem OF
American national defense is to. get
the people to look the facts squarely
in the face. Only united nation can
accomplish anything in arming for the

will also serve to make its effects more

If we would respect ourselves and de-
serve the respect of others, and have
that courage without which man is
useless, We must not shink from or
shirk our problem because of any Of
its repellent or repulsive features"
Taking Military Precautions.
"A great deal of inattention and
considerable opposition is based upon
the statement and belief that if na-
tion takes military precautions and
makes military preparation it invites
what it seeks to prevent or repel.
This contention does not seem to have
any foundation in reason or in fact.
1t certainly is not so in any other like
situation, either in our spiritual or our
physical life. Those who entertain
and give expression to this feeling
would be shocked, l am sure, IL sim.
liar attitude to that which they have
in this matter were applied to other
like matters.
No Safety In Weakness.
They, however, who deprecate the
taking of these precautions and the
making of these preparations urge
still further opposition somewhat akin
to that just disposed of. They say:
If you are strong enough to fight you
are more likely to fight; or, stated in
the negative, If your nation is not pre-,
pared for war, your nasoa will be less
likely to be involved in war.
THE question is, how do you justi-
| fy your trust that other nations which
are strong will refrain from misusing
their strength against us if you fear
that we, if strong, would misuse our
strength against other nations? There
is no basis for any such unjust an.
imadversion against our nation and
