NO INTERVENTION
IN LATEST PLANS
Of THE PRESIDENT
WILSON DELIVERS SPEECH IN
WHICH HE SAYS HE INTENDS
TO SERVE MEXICO.

Detroit, Mich, July 10. President
wilson aroused great enthusiasm at
the Worlds Salesmanship congress to.
day by urging that business men carry
justice and fair dealing into the ports
of the world, particularly those of
Mexico, and thereby establish conf
dence In American principles. His ef-
1orts, he declared, will be to serve all
America by serving Mexico herself
for her best interests without using
force and not to serve the few gentle.
men" who wish to exploit Mexican
possessions.
When the president asked the crowd
what it desired at the end Of all the
present world troubles, it shouted
peace" in one voice and then he add
ed that his wish was Permanent
peace" .
Il hear some men say" he said.
that they want to help Mexico and
the way they propose to help her is
to overwhelm her with force. That is
the wrong way as we'll as the long way
After fighting them you would have
a nation full of justified suspicion
What makes Mexico suspicious is that
she thinks we do not want to serve
but possess her. And she has justifica-
ton for these suspicious in the way
some gentlemen have sought to exploit
her possessions.
II will not serve these gentlemen but
/ will serve all Americans by trying to
serve Mexico herself.
"The way to establish our sovereign
ty is to respect hers 'r ...".
The president declared that the mer-
chant marine, which some are 80 slow
in giving u.s." will be a great help to
the business interests Of the United
States. -.ay
Gives Business Advice.
In order to gain foreign business,
however, he added, it will be necessary
for American business men to adapt
the goods to the demands Of other
countries and not. to force their own
ideas on other markets. Salesmanship
he said, would go hand in hand with
craftsmanship after the close of the
war.
No more patriotic nor enthusiastic
reception has greeted the president
recently than he received here. Thous-
ands of persons lined the streets
through which he passed and when he
entered the hall the entire audience
arose and waved American flags.
Henry Ford sent the president n
expressing confidence he
would keep the United States out Of
war. This afternoon he is to visit an
automobile factory He will leave for
Washington at p m. and will make a
platform speech at the union station in
Toledo on the return trip.

Captain S Story

Baltimore, Nd, July 10. Capt. Ko-
nig's own story of the Deutschland's 8
voyage was told to newspaper men to-
day. He laughed at stories of his being
| chased far off his course by enemy
vessels and declared that during the
entire trip the vessel travelled sub
merged only about ninety miles.
"We came to Hampton Roads by the
straight course from the English chan
nel,' said the captain. I'VE did not
come by way of the Azores. Altogeth-
er from Helgoland to Baltimore we
covered $500 miles. OF that distance,
ninety miles was driven under the sur
face Of the water.
Throughout the trip the officers and
crew were in excellent health and
spirits. Of course, when We were un-
der water for long spells, the air got
very stuffy sometimes but 1t never was
serious The Deutschland is built to
stay under water for four consecutive
days, so you see we never reached any
where near our submersion limit on
this voyage.
"The ship Is much easier to ride in
than a torpedo boat destroyer; much
steadier. Nothing can happen to her
she is so perfectly built.
The German commander talked with
the smiling enthusiasm Of a child and
his eyes glittered.
Crew Is Drilled.
There is little to tell Of the trip"
he continued. 1--WE left Helgoland on
June % and steamed on the surface in

crew for ten days or two weeks, having
proceeded from Bremen to our starting
point. I had never been on submar-
inc voyage.
"Everything went without incident
the first day but on the second day In
the North sea we were in the zone Of
the British cruisers and destroyers.
We sighted their smoke frequently but
only dived when we thought there was
danger of our being detected. OF
course, we were difficult to see because
we were running so low and our ship
gave out no smoke. We did submerge
several times in the North Sea, staying
under sometimes two hours and some
times less. Every time we came to
the surface if all looked we'll we kept
on going. We saw no British battle.

and destroyers or at least what we
took to be British naval vessels.

I'VE did not on the entire trip come
into close proximity with any man Of

very simple. .
From the North sea we went
straight through the English channel

the night of the fourth day we sub

BOWS TO LAW OF SEAS
GERMANY APPEALS TO UNITED
STATES FRIENDSHIP.
kaiser's Government viii Yield II
Great Britain Heeds Interna-
tionaI Regulations.

Washington March 10.-Count voI
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
on instructions from his government
handed to Secretary Lansing or
| Wednesday a long memorandum ex
planning in detail the German position
in regard to armed merchant ships and
the causes leading up to the decision
of the central European powers to tor
pedo without warning all armed mer
! chantmen of their enemies.
The memorandum contains the allie
CATION that Great Britain had taken
advantage OF the contention of the
United States that Americans must be
safe on defensively armed merchant
men, to have those ships act often
sively toward enemy submersibles.
The German government expresses
willingness to operate its submarines
in accordance with international law
prevailing prior to the war, provided
Great Britain does not violate the
same laws.
that as submarines are a new engine
Of warfare, international law as at
present constituted makes no provi.
sion for their use.
The memorandum contends that the
evidence appended to the late German
announcement proves that British
ships armed ostensibly for defense
have been instructed to act, and have
acted extensively, and that they are
not peaceful traders, as the United
States was assured they would be by
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British am.
bassador.
The memorandum also reiterates the
previous declaration that submarine
warfare was begun by Germany in re-
prisal for the announced intention of
Great Britain to starve the civilian
population Of the central empires.
The memorandum also refers to the
long-standing friendship between the
United States and Germany, and ex-
presses the hope that the American
people will, when familiar with the
explanation offered, fully appreciate
the position in which Germany finds
herself as a result of the blockade.
BY way of supporting the contention
that Germany's reprisals are justified,
the memorandum enumerates various
actions Of Great Britain, which have
operated against the interests of neu.
trails and their citizens. These are
cited to show that Great Britain has
violated international law.

HOUSE KILLS MEASURE
M'LEMoRE WARNING RESoLU.
TIoN is DEFEATED.
Big Victory for President Wilson
When the Measure Is Tabled
276 to 142.

Washington, March 9.-The house of
representatives capitulated completely
to the Wilson administration. BY two
test votes early in the day it showed
its confidence in President Wilson and
on Tuesday night 1t crowned day of
chaos and confusion by tabling the
now famous McLemore resolution,
warning Americans off armed ships,
by vote of 276 to 142. The first test
vote resulted in victory for the ad.
ministration adherents, 256 to 100, and
the second resulted in 271 votes for
the Wilson policies against 1873 oppos-
ing. Both votes were on parliamentary
phases of the situation, but they clear
ly forecasted the vote that was to come
in the evening.
Warnings that no nation divided
against itself shall stand" were re.
ceived in solemn silence. Excoriation
of American citizens whose "foolhar-
diness and recklessness" in travelling
on belligerent ships might plunge the
country into war" was cheered.
The final argument and appeal which
aroused the house most was the de-
mand that the country stand firm be-
hind the president In his fight.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Gen. Carranza's re-
quest for permission to send Mexican
troops into American territory to pur-
sue bandits who escaped across the
border will be considered by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing.
1t has been considered practically GER
tain that the reply would be to the
effect that American troops were only
being sent into Mexican territory in
pursuit of the Villa outlaws because
the de factor government of Mexico
did not have sufficient forces on the
scene to deal with the situation and
that whenever bandits should cross
into American territory, where there
was not sufficient American soldiers
to take them into custody, the right
Of entry would be accorded Carranza
troops. This, it is believed, will be
satisfactory to Carranza and make it
possible for him to acquiesce in the
operation of American troops in
Northern Mexico without stirring up
popular resentment among his people
against him.
