"psychopathic piano. an invention of
Professor R. VI. Yerkes. Of Harvard
The piano" has been adopted at the
Psychopathic Hospital. for which Pro-
fessor Yerkes is psychologist. and is
used TO test applicants for employ
ment. IL has twelve keys. only one
of which sounds when pressed. The
rerson tested has TO select from groups
cf three until the right key is pressed.
The operator Of the machine. with a
stop watch. notes the time taken by
the subject. The intelligent person
reasons out quickly which keys he has
touched before.
Out of sixty applicants for work 81
per cent were found normal and i per
cent low in mentality.
In the tests for animals little doors
are used instead Of keys. Ore door
out of twelve leads 10 food. and the

SECRECY TO SHIELD
MORGAN'S CITY TRIPS
He Will Come to Town on His
Yacht and Closed Auto Will .
Take Him to Office.

Glen Cove, Long Island, Aug Ia
j. P. Morgan will return to his desk
in Manhattan Monday, having fully
recovered from the wounds inflicted
early last month by Holt, who killed
himself in the Mineola Jail.
Extraordinary precautions are to be
taken to safeguard Mr.. Morgan. His
assailant appeared to be we'll &C
Quainted with the fnancier's habits,
displaying familiarity with his daily
route from the time he left Fast Is
land, his country home. All this is
to be changed.
His steam yacht, the Corsair, will
carry him each day from Fast Is
land 70 Manhattan. The landing place
will not be made known. A limousine
will meet the yacht. After Mr.
Morgan is seated in the car the
curtains will be drawn so that its
occupant cannot be seen and he will
be driven TO his Office in Wall Street.
There is no danger whatever of any
crank reaching Mr. Morgan while he
is embarking on the Corsair, as East
Island is heavily guarded and the
private boat basin is unapproachable

John Hildenbrandt, fifty-three, re-
tired German merchant, was killed by

down the fire escape from the roof and
cut THEN way into Hildenbrandts
apartment through the window. They
found him alone and asleep. While stlil
on the bed they struck him with
blackjack, but he chased them into the
hall. Just as they made their get
away one of the intruders shot him.
His slayers took s75 and the dead mans
watch.
This was the fifth robbery in two
hours on the block between l17th Street

night.
At 8 o'clock last evening Mrs. Hiiu-
enbrant. with her son John H. ana
daughter Sophie, went out to take a

Plea to Mexico Made Public;
More Troops Go to Brownsville


or aid in any way the bloody strife will not re-
main unmoved. No one can doubt that each ana
every one of them, measuring in his own con-
science his share in the responsibilities Of past
misfortune and looking forward to his share in
the glory Of the pacihcation and reconstruction
of the country, will respond, nobly and resolute-
ly, to this friendly appeal and give their best
efforts to opening the way to some saving action.
We, the undersigned, believe that if the men
directing the armed movements in Mexico
whether political or military thiefs-should agree
to meet either in person or by delegates TAR from
the sound Of cannon, and with no other inspira-
ton save the thought Of their afflicted land, there
10 exchange ideas and to determine the tate OF
the country-from such action would undoubted-
y result the strong and unyieldng agreement
requisite to the creation OF provisional govern
ment which should adopt the first steps neces-
sary to the constitutional reconstruction OF the
country and to issue the first and most essential OF
them all, the immediate call to general elections
An adequate place within the Mexican from
tiers, which for the purpose fright be neutrazed,
should serve as the seat OF the conference and IN
order to bring about conference OF this nature
the undersigned or any of them, will willingly,
upon invitation act as intermediates to arrange
the time place and other details OF such confer
ence, if this action can in any way aid the Mex
lean people.
The undersigned expect reply to this COM
municaton within reasonable time, and con-
slider that such time would be ten days after
the commune aton is delivered, subject to pro-
rogation for cause.

lights and shadows! Notwth standing
so much heroic ardor. notwithstand-
ing so many sublime flames, the per-
feet mingling of SOULS and of blood
was not attained. A veritable national
consciousness was not formed.
In accepting the risks of the war.
in throwing themselves with all their
ardor into the turmoil, the Italian peo-
pie know that more important than
the territorial unity to be attained
they will find real unity of conscience
and virtue.
Know Their Tasks.
They know also that their task, in
truth. is much more arduous than that
of bringing about the death throes
of the two-headed vulture. For Italy
as well as for France, for our distant
brothers in Dacia Trajan, as well AS
for all nations of Mediterranean cult
ure, it is necessary to tght supreme
fight against the imminent menace o.:
servitude and determination.
This war is no; a simple conflict Of
interests vague and scattered. 1t is
much deeper, and, will say. almost
more divine -wiping out the flight Of
time and the development of man
through his brutal and primordial nat
ure II is warning of races, con-
flict of irreconcilable powers-a trial
by blood, which the enemies of our
Latin world have precipitated in ac-
cordance with the most ancient law
of iron.
Latin culture is as necessary for
the nobility of the world as organs
are necessary to a living creature. On
the fatal sea-where Greece awoke
beauty, Rome justice and Judea holi-
ness we cannot await the advent Of
the Teuton. If the great legends Of
the Caucasus and of Calvary disap-
pear from the Mediterranean OF the
future it is not the brutal race that
will create the cycle of MYTHS.
Where then will the attributes Of
the new life find the marks of per-
fcction? Every one of US knows and
every one affirms the immortality of
his blood by all the aspirations of his
perishable force. This is why this war
is just, this is why | demand in the
hour of danger the honor of this brave
prophecyi

Sidelights on War
in Italy's Green Book

London, Aug Il. Instructive side
lights, says The Daily News are
thrown on the progress OF events lead
ing up 10 the outbreak of hostllitles
between Italy and Austria in the ltal-
ian green book, now issued in English.
While negotiations between two powers
then still allies were in progress the
Italian ministers in the capitals OF the
belligerent countries notified their
government that a separate peace be-
tween Austria and Russia was IN con-
temptation on the initiative OF Aus
tria.
The Italian Ambassador, telegraph
ing from Petrograd to Rome on March
%, said: 81 learn from an unim-
pugnable source that a serious at
tempt at peace has been addressed 70
the Russian government by some one
ypeaking in the name of the Austro-
hungarian government"
From Nish, the present capital Of
Serbia, the Italian representative tele-
graphed April 10 to his government:
According 70 confidential informa-
ton. a separate peace between Aus
tria-Hungary and Russia might Ce
possible"
Three days later the Italian Minis
ter at the Bulgarian capital tele-
graphed: "Rumors are in circulation
of d possible separate Austro-Russian
peace. In Viennese political circles
there is talk of peace between Aus
tgia-Hungary and Russia. and even
that it is with the object Of being free
to deal with Italy"
Most important of all was a tele-
gram from the Italian Ambass ador in
Berlin to his government, dated April
Is, as follows: "Rumors OF a move
ment toward separate peace between
Germany and Austria-Hungary and
Russia are persistently maintained and
constantly gaining ground"

Germans RidiCule
Russian Peace Talk

London, Aug. IA. Reports that Ger
many has made overtures to Russia TOR
a separate peace by Offering her a free
use of the Dardanelles are ridiculed by
the Hamburg "Nachrichten," according
to Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam.
Germany does not own the Darda-
nelles. and therefore cannot offer them
to anybody" declares the paper. They
are the property of the Turks, who for
five months have proved that they know
how to defend them. The German En-
pire does not betray its allies"

KAISER WILLING
TO END STRIFE,
HE TELLS POPE
Reply to Peace Letter
States Allies Must Make
First Move.

Paris. Aug. 1.-THE Kaiser, replying
to the peace letter of Pope Benedict AN'
declares his willingness to accept peace
negotiations, provided the nations with
which Germany is at war make the
first overtures. Austria has taken a
similar stand, a dispatch to Fournier's
News Agency from Rome adds.
Pope Benedict's appeal, addressed to
the belligerent nations, was issued on
July %. It asked for an exchange OF
views in which "the rights and Just
asnirations" Of :he various peoples
could be considered as far as possible,
and thus put TO an end the terrible
combat. as has been the case previously
under similar circumstances"
The letter invited "the true trlends
Of peace in the world to extend their
hands to hasten the end of war which
for wear has transformed Europe INTO
an enormous battlefield" and declared
that he should be blessed who hrst
extends the olive branch and tenders
his hand 10 the enemy in offering MN
reasonable conditions OF peace.
From The Hague comes the report
that the Netherlands Anti-War Coun-
ell has presented an address to Jonk..
heer DR.. John Loudon, Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, asking his cooperation
in the formation of permanent con,
ference of representatives OF neutral
powers to work in the interests Oh
peace. ., .
The Anti-War Council also issued a
manifesto. printed in Dutch. English
French. German and Russian, exhorting
all belligerent peoples 10 proclaim their
desire for peace.
Signed by number Of learned pro
fessors. the document states IN homeIy
phraseology that it realizes that war
ring nations may ask would-be peace
makers:
what the deuce enters neutral
heads that they mix in others AFFAIRS
while refusing to assume share OF the
common BURDEN" -
Nevertheless, it is pointed OUT the
only victory that will insure a lasting
peace must be a moral victory OF the
people. who are urged not necessarily
to love an enemy as ones self, or even
to love ones neighbor as ones sell, put
as the manifesto il sists, merely to re
spect thy neighbOr like thyselt.

Loss of U.30, Off Mouth of the

Officials Are Silent.

Berlin. Aug. 1.-THE Admiralty de-

marine U30 had been sunk off Ger
man port by accident. in consequence
of a defect in operation. but subse-
quently had been raised Official in

the fate of the crew. As the German
navy has a special ship for raising
sunken craft and other facilities for
coping with such emergencies. the re-
port may quite possibly be true.
A dispatch from Amsterdam on July
said the U-30 had been sunk off the
mouth of the Ems and raised thirty
six hours later, one member of the
crew losing his life.
New-York tribune., 1915-08-15

The Mexican people are informed that the
following communication has been sent to many
prominent persons in Mexico who possess au-
thority or military power within the republic;
Washington, August II.
The undersigned the Secretary OF State of the
United States the Ambassadors Extraordinary
and Plenipotentary Of Brazil, Chill and Argen-
tina, and the Envoy Extraordinary and Ministers
Plenpotentiary of Bolivia Uruguay and Guate-
mala, accredited to the government OF the United
States of America, acting severally and inde-
pendenty, unanimously send to you the follow
ing communications
Inspired by the most sincere spirit OF Amer
can fraternity, and convinced that they rightly
interpret the earnest wish Of the entire continent,
they have met informally at the suggestion of the
slider the Mexican situation so to ascertain
whether their friendly and disinterested help
could be successfully employed to re-estabsh
peace and constitutional order in sister re-
public.
In the heat of the frghtful struggle which for
so long has stepped in blood the Mexican soil,
doubtless all may we'll have lost sight Of the
dssolving effects Of the strife upon the most vital
conditions of the national existence, not only
upon the life and liberty OF the inhabitants, but
on the prestige and security OF the country. We
cannot doubt. however-no one can doubt-that
in the presence of sympathetic appeal from
their brothers of America, recalling to them these
disastrous effects, asking them to save their
motherland from abyss-lo one can doubt we
repeat, that the patriotism Of the men who lead
