BRYAN URGES PAPERS
TO WARN AMERICANS
FROM DANGER ZONE
CommOner in Signed Statement Urges Peace at
All Hazards for United States-War Would
Bring On Untold Misery and Loss of Life

Chicago. August 22.-william ].
Bryan tonight gave out the following
signed statement:
Il have read the editorial opinions
concerning the sinking of the Arabic,
as those opinions were reproduced in
Saturday mornings papers. but they
seem to me to avoid the most import
ant question. The real question is not
whether American citizens have. under
international law, a right to travel
through the danger zone in ships OF
The question just. now is whether an
American citizen should permit his con-
venience or even his rights above his
nations welfare. II American citizens
refuse to consider their own safety
or the safety of the nation. then a
second question arises. namely. wheth-
CT the government should permit a
few persons to drag the country into
this Unparalleled war.
"Our government has made its pro-
test and there is no doubt that the
position taken is aboundantly support
ed by precedent, but that does not nee
cssarily mean that we are going to

1t is time for the unneutral por-
ton of the press of the United States
to lay aside its bias and unite In help
Ing the President to keep the country
out of war.
The pro o-ally papers are insisting
uron war with Germany for the bene-
lit OF the allies and the pro German
papers are insisting upon an embargo
on arms and ammunition for the BEN
gift of Germany. II these two groups
OF papers would join together and

iting American passenger ships from

Times dispatch from Petrograd con-
firms the announcement of NJ. Rod

Russian victory In the Gulf of Riga and
the sinking of the German battle cruis-

The naval battle between German
and Russian warships in the Gulf of
Riga has ended in the, German fleet

vivors of the steamer Dunsley, torpedoed
by German submarine just before the
White Star liner Arabic was sunk, de-
clare the German craft hid behind the
Dunsley's hulk to sink the larger vessel.
They .assert they had been ordered off
their ship and were in life boats when
the submarine concealed herself from the
approaching Arabic.
The survivors say the submarine srb-
merged. went around the Dunsley's stern
and then launched the fatal torpedo.

The President will decide tomorrow
whether a cabinet meeting will be

seemed impossible that the cabinet
would be summoned before fl

received. Secretary Lansing, Attorney
General Gregory, and Postmaster GEN
cral Burleson were the only members
Iii the city today, though most of the
other cabinet officers could reach

Confidence in Pesident
Telegrams received at the White
House bearing on the Arabic expressed
varying opinions Some of the senders
advised drastic action, others coun-
seled patience. and virtually all ex-
pressed confidence in the President.
Severances of diplomatic relations
with Germany is being discussed as the
step that would follow determination
that the sinking of the Arabic was de-
liberately unfriendly. Whether such
an action would be taken without
first consulting Congress is matter
Of speculation. Some identified with
the administration believe that Con-
gress should be called together before
anything is done that might lead to

The first actual story of all
that transpired on the death
ride of Leo M. Frank from Mil
ledgeville to Marietta between
midnight and dawn last Tues
day morning became available
to the Associated Press today
The recital did not come
through second or third hands,
but in a manner which seem
ingly placed its authenticity
beyond all question. The mar
rator, however, will not be a
witness before the Cobb county
grand jury, which on Septem-
ber / will be asked to under
take a thorough investigation
Of the lynching of the man al
>leged to have been the slayer
Of little Mary Phagan.
Ii also became known today that
Governor Nat E. Harris during the
past few days has received several
anonymous threatening letters pur
porting to warn him not to go "too
far In his investigation of the lynch
ing. The governor is not inclined to
take the letters at all seriously, but
looks upon them as the outgrowth OF
tile disturbed sentiment of the mo-
ment.

which preceded the finding of Frank

the biggest oak tree in the vicinity of

phases of the tragic incident which

way prior to the actual lynching
Stories that he may have met violent
death before being hanged to- the Frey
oak are without foundation.
Frank Walked to His Death
T. Frank walked distance of 200
yards from the automobile to the death
tree without a faltering step; without
ing perhaps that his body might never
, reach his relatives he asked that the
wedding ring he wore be delivered to
a newspaper man with the solemn
promise that 1t would be turned over
TO his wife. The wish was carried out.
5. Frank was told from-the start
that he was to be executed as the
courts had directed that he be and

GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good for
Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard plaster
burned and blistered while it acted.
You can now get the relief and help
that mustard plasters gave, without the
plaster and without the blister.
: MUSTEROLE does it. 1t is a clean,
white ointment, made with oil of mus.
tard. 1t is scientifically prepared, so
that it works wonders, and yet does not
blister the tenderest skin.
Just massage MUSTEROLE in with
the inger-tips gently. See how quickly
it brings relief-how speedily the pain
disappears.
And there is nothing like MUSTER
OLE for Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Ton
silitis, Group, Stiff Neck, Asthma, Neu-
ralgia. Headache, Congestion. Pleurisy,
Rheumatism, Lumbago, Pains and Aches
of Back or Joints, Sprains, Sore Mus
