Washington, Dee. 22-Secretary of
State Lansng's S two statements of yes
terday, in Interpretation of President
Wilson s peace note, were forwarded
today to American diplomats abroad.
The evident purpose in thus trans.
mitting the statements, was that there
might be no Misunderstanding or mis-
Interpretation of the text abroad.
The diplomats will be free to inform
foreign offices of these official texts
and it is felt that the second statement
will serve to correct any misconstruc-
tion which might be placed upon the
first.
Dispatch of the two notes will prob
ably obviate the necessity for a supple
mental note, which Lansing said he
would send if his first "verge of war;
remarks were misinterpreted
The fact that the texts are forward
ed TO the diplomats will enable them to
present to the European courts as the
official attitude Of this government the
idea that the United States regards
transgressions on its rights as increas-
ingly grave, but as thus far causing
no consideration of a change in the
neutrality policy.

Will Not Flatly Reject

Washington, Dec. 22.-For the same
reasons that Great Britain and her al
lies did not flatly reject the peace pro
posals of the TeutOnic powers, they will
not flatly turn down the suggestions
made by President Wilson in his peace
messages, was the expressed belief of
some entente diplomats here today.
This opinion was voiced to a United
Press correspondent in intimate and con
fidential talks at two of the most inn
portant entente embassies in Washing
ton.
At these embassies two reasons were
given for the above opinion:
To show officially and formally any
regret over the president S peace sug.
gestions by flatly refusing his request
for specific terms would be playing di
rectly into Germany s plans, since Ger
many then would have opportunity to
reiterate oft repeated protcstations that
the entente allies are responsible fol
prolonging the war.
Such flat rundown would tend to
weaken what sympathy there is now
in the United States for the entente al
lied cause.
These allied diplomats did not hest
tate to admit "chagrin over the pres
ident s suggestion that specification OF
war detectives is necessary. They said
allied speakers have been specifying
their detectives for two years and 0
half and that they ought to be appar
ent to all students of the war. 1t was
this phase of the president s note-one
which seemed to cause more regret than
bitterness-which was particularly EN-
phasized by the diplomats.

London, Dec. 22-The more England
digests President Wilson's peace note,
the more bitter it feels. That was the
conclusion to be drawn from news
paper editorials in the afternoon papers
which went even farther than those
of the morning editions in denunciation
of the American executives move.
The afternoon press was unit in its
resentfulness. This bitterness was
particularly manifested against Will
sons assertion that the objects for
which all bolligercnts were striving
wore nearly the same.
1T is singular indeed, " the Evening
Standard declared, THAT a Statesman
of Wilson perspicacity can labor under
the dolusion that any move of his to
ward peace would be welcomed by the
al.ies. The whole facts of the situation
should warn him that intervention is
Not desired" "

is not ill.," the Globe commented "but

London, Dee. 22.-British official cir
cles refuse to believe that America, in
the note by President Wilson, is asking
the allies to give up all principles and
retract all official utterances regarding
the wars aims that have been so en-
phatically announced heretofore.
American correspondents tonight
met panied wonderment everywhere
among the government authorities over
the peace note. In some quarters con-
fidence was expressed that President
Wilson was aiming primarily to impress
upon Germany that the United States
may be forced eventually to enter the
war on the side of the allies, unless Ger
many accedes to the allies demands.
But as a rule, utter inability to under
stand the motives behind the presi-
dent S note were apparent.

of the Wilson note was the triple mega
tive, in big type, "No! No! Nol* with
the further caption "This Is Britain IS

Another Resolution

Washington, Dec. 22.-Representative
Bailey, Pennsylvania, today introduced
a resolution calling on congress to cen
dorse and approve" the presidents IS act
ion in sending notes to belligerent ma
tions of Europe asking statement of
peace terms.
In the house, Representative Bailey
meNed that that body 60 ON record as
alproving the presidents IS action. The
resolution was referred to the foreign
affairs committee.
In the senate, Senator Hitchcock, Ne
l'taska, offered a substitute to his reso-
lRtion of yesterday. The substitute
Rad:
I" Resolved, That the senate approves
strongly endorses the action taken by
| the president in sending diplomatic
!. otes of December Is to the ma
lions now engaged in war, suggesting
rand recommending that those nations
tote the terms upon which peace might
property be discussed.
Hitchcock said he introduced the sub
stitute because his first resolution had
been sent to the foreign affairs COM
mittee, where it probably would re-
main.
Senator Gallinger objected, asking
that action be deferred until after the
holidays.
Ine Bailey resolution was almost a
verbatim copy of William Jennings Bry-
an s telegram of congratulation to the
president yesterday. 1t was very SINH
lar to that of Hitchcock. He declared
the president has rendered an invaluable
service to "war stricken world, f" and
has afforded the belligerents an oppor-
tunity which it is fervently hoped they
may not disregard.
cit would be a reflection upon the
nations at war to doubt that they know
tine ends for which they are fighting or
TO assume that they have any purpose
which they are unwilling to reveal, the
resolution said
A statement by both sides, it was
said, no matter how divergent, would
clear the way for peace by giving a
basis for negotiations, ''because we he
leve neither side will consent to as
sumo responsibility for continuing the
horrors of this conflict, if
any reasonable terms can sc secured. y
The resolution asked that the presi-
dent be congratulated by congress for
his stand.

Taylor mill, by detectives at six 0 clock
this morning, as the fourth member Of
the gang of bank robbers implicated
in the confession of Oscar Lowe, one OF
the alleged Bothell bandits, a few hours
earlier. Other arrests are expected to-
day.
Ed Hagen, suspended patrolman,
has uncovered operations Of the alleged
band of robbers and was instrumental
in rounding them up early today.

GERMAN CONSUL
ADMITS PURCHASE
OF CONTRABAND
Testi6es That He Expended
Large Sum For German
Government

oan Francisco, Dec. 22.-Franz Bopp,
German consul general here, admitted
ON the witness stand today that he had
purchased contrabrand of war for the
German government and that he had
spent "a great deal of money" in such
purchases during the months succeeding
the declaration of war.
He made these statements in cross
examination by United States District
Attorney Preston during the trial of
himself and associates on charge of
neutrality violations. When Bopp adj
mltted having purchased rubber and
nickel in large quantities, Preston in
sisted that these two products are both
munitions of war, but Bopp denied this.
The district attorney questioned Bopp
at length regarding the so called "se-
cret fund said to have been placed at
the disposition of the consulate by the
Berlin government. This fund is said
to have amounted to 100000 Bopp
said he used ''a great deal" of money,
but wouldn t specify the total
Bopp said that he personally was in
charge Of this fund and that he made
reports regarding disbursements direct
to the Berlin government, sending all
vouchers, etc, there For this reason,
he said, he could not detail the dis.
bursements, as he had not kept any rec,
Ords for himself.
What expense, need or desire did
you have for 100000 in March 1852
Preston asked
That has nothing to do with this
case, y was Bopp S peppery answer.
Asked who had requested the so call
ed "secret fund.- from the German
government, Bopp replied merely: "Ask

finally stated, however, that he needed
such a fund to make extensive purchas
es of rubber and nickel When asked

ritions Of war; he said he had not and
refused to admit that rubber and nickel

"What else did you purchase? " Pres
ton asked
~ will not tell" said the witness.
I BOpp was questioned at length re
garding the employment oG G. G. Grow
ley as consulate agent and he repeated
the testimony given earlier in the weeH
by Vice Consul Won Jchaack. He spoke
with a good deal of contempt Of the
bomb model which Van Setback hat
purchased from Johannes YanKoolbGr
gen for $25. Bopp said the bomb haG
lain around the consulate for a long
time "and we occasionally took it uI
and played with it.
