Berlin Fears Rupture
With Three NeutraIs

LONDON, June 5.-A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Amsterdam says:
1.-The German newspapers. While ad-
hitting that the fall Of Przemysl is a
satisfactory achievement. warn the public
against attaching exaggerated Importance
to it. declaring that this event Is over
shadowed in importance by the threat
ening situation created by the atti-
tude Of the United States, Rumania and
Bulgaria.
Private messages from Berlin are
pessimistic and a rupture with the
three countries is feared at an early
date"
The Morning Post naval correspond
ent in an article today discusses the
situation existing between the United
States and Germany as result OF
Germany's submarine warfare.
THE action of the Germans in sink
ing merchant vessels without having
previously sent a boarding omcer on
them" says the correspondent. is un-
doubtedly contrary to the law Of ma
tions. The issue between America and
Germany, therefore, is reduced to the
simple question whether neutral ma
tons will permit such actions as Ger
many's to pass without appealing to
the arbitrament OF war.
in this respect the United States has
In its keeping the present and future

times. This conference will discuss the
best methods of bringing this pressurs
to bear.
The congressional committee of the
National American Woman Suffrage AS
sociatinn has recently completed an or
ganzation with the various state socie-
ties whereby it will be possible to bring
pressure to bear upon congressman in
their own home districts.
Mrs. George a. Mosshart, chairman of
the Washington Woman Suffrage Coun-
Gil which is the local auxiliary of the
national congressional committee. said
today in reference to this matter:
Much confusion was occasioned in
the suffrage campaign in the western
states by the fact that the Congress
sional Union sent into the congression-
al districts nonresident workers who
were unacquainted with the local sit
uation and hostile to all democratic
candidates, though certain democratic
candidates were at that time and al
ways had been among the stanchest
friends of suffrage in Congress. The
national association has now COM
pleted an organization under which
every state has its own congressional
chairman and every congressional dis
trict has a woman in charge. who il
kept constantly supplied with informa-
ton from the Washington Office"
