ness for war. His other topic was
peace at any reasonable price.
He was the guest OF the Central
Labor Union bodies. whose members
preceded him in short talks. but there
was distinct pro-Gerinan flavor abou,
the meeting. Any references TO men or
measures favoring the German cause
were tempestuously applsuded. Any ref
erences to men or measures unsym-
pathetic to the Teutonic allies were
noisily hissed

when he left Petrograd, he said, and all
freight traffic had been suspended.
Daily Ammunition Ships.
Since Archangel was opened to navi-
cation, DIR. Ward asserted, ammunition
laden ships from England and Canada
have been arriving almost daily.
Thousands of soldiers at Archangel
are busy day and night transferring
munitions to trains. and all railroad
equipment that can be handled is being
operated over the road, the south
bound trains being loaded to capa city.
Il left Petrograd about the middle of
June said DR.. Ward. Despite the
Russian reverses there was no indica-
ton of encouragement. Thousands of
new troops are already in training and
in readiness to be rushed to the front
as soon as the danger of another short
age of munitions is past.
Waiting on Equipment.
'They are simply awaiting ammuni-
ton and equipment. Within ten miles
Of Petrograd over 100000 troops are

While declining to discuss the con-
tents of the dispatch. Mr.. Lansing let
it be known that the proposals con-
tanned in it were similar to those which
already have been discussed In Berlin
press dispatches, indicating a desire to
clarity the situation before making
formal answer.
Mr.. Lansing said there had been no
exchange of views as yet and that no
negotiations had been entered into by
the American government. Mr.. Gerard's s
dispatch has been transmitted to Presl-
dent Wilson, where the decision rests
as to the character of the instructions

Amicable Adjustment Expected.

to learn informally what proposals
would be acceptable to the United
States government, so that when en-
bodied finally in the German reply
they might be acceptable as a basis for
negotiation. created the distinct i'm
preston in official quarters that the
dispute between the two governments
eventually would be amicably resolved.
The message from Mr.. Gerard was
somewhat garbled in transmission. 1t
gave no indication as to the time when
the formal reply would be ready.
What Herr Won Jagow, the German for
eign minister, suggested in his conference
with Ambassador Gerard as means of
meeting the American point Of view on
submarine warfare was not revealed at
the State Department 1t Is known. how
ever, that the aim Of the German gov
ernment is to insure the safety Of Amer
leans travelling on passenger ships, and
at the same time maintain the effective
ness Of the submarine as destroyer OF
ships primarily engaged in contraband
traffic.
Right Claimed by United States.
The United States has claimed the right
for it's citizens to travel on both pas
senger and cargo ships. holding that
Americans who are members Of the crews
Of the latter type Of vessel should be re-
moved to a place Of safety before de-
struction.
Germany, it is understood. has pro.
posed joint system of inspection
through which it shall be established
to the satisfaction of German consuls
in the United States that belligerent
ships sailing from American ports are
primarily engaged in passenger traffic
Details are lacking as to whether Ger
many will consent to the carriage of any
contraband on such vessels or whether
guaranty shall be given that the amount
Of contraband transported is Of a negli-
gible character
As for the treatment of cargo ships
officials are not clear how the Ameri-
can point of view, as expressed in its
recent notes, can be satisfied unless
German submarines, before attacking
undertake to transfer the crew to 9
place of safety in accordance with the
naval prize codes of all nations.
New Difficulties Confronted.
New difficulties have arisen which
now complicate the situation. These
are the cases of the British liners Ar
menian and Anglo-Californian. which
cargo ships. by making repeated efforts
to escape, justified attacks by the Ger
man submarines.
Comparatively no attention is being
given in the informal discussions which
have arisen to the case of ships flying
American flags, as complete immunity
from attack has in effect been guar
anteed such ships by Germany's most
recent note. Officials here are graft
fed that no cases of mistaken attack
have occurred in several weeks.
While no definite assurance has been
given, officials here believe that further
attacks without warning will not be
made against any vessels. whether of
neutral or belligerent character. at
least until a means of insuring the
ga afety of Americans on the high seas
is agreed upon in the present negotia-
tions.
