National Peace Council Says
Nine Allied Ships Are
Loading.
LANSING GETS CHARGES
Complaint Alleges Vessels Are
Transports and Violate
Neutrality.

WAsurNGroS, July S.--That not less
than nine ships are taking on cargoes
of ammunition and other war supplies
at or near New York city in violation OF
the neutrality Of the United states was
the charge lodged with Secretary OF
state LANSING to-day by Lahor's Ma
tional Peace Council This is the or
ganization. headed ny Representatives
Buchanan and Fowler of Illinois, when
recently has been active in urging lesis-
lation prohibiting the expectation or
war munitions
These so-called peace advocates give
the names Of the vessels which they say
are violating the neutrality OF the
United states and they call upon Sec
retary Lansing for public investiga-
t1on by Government officials.
The peace council gives the grounds
on which 1t bases its charges, but state
Department officials and other legal au-
,horities were unable to see how any or
these grounds were applicable in the
cases cited.
The most striking feature OF the COM
munication Is the evidence it seems 10
bear on its face of beinc move in the
interest of Germany. In the first place
official Washington was surprised at the
detailed information presented In regard
to shipments of war munitions.
II is believed such information could
have been acquired only at considerable
expense and probably through the EN-
ploymsnt of secret agents.

vAsutNoroN. July S.--Bascd on in

Berlin the conclusion was reached here
to-day that the note which Germany is
about 10 send to the United States con-

the views Of this Government regarding

Since the Administration has decided
that II cannot discuss informally with
the German Government certain pro-

Of Germany's concessions, the feeling is
general in Washington that the situation

German reply about to be given to Mr..

the situation has shaped itself in the last
few days. For several weeks reports
from Berlin have repeatedly indicated
that no very substantial concessions
were to be expected from the German
Government.
Nevertheless in the face of these re-

the German Government would at least
submit something which might furnish
