A birthday dinner in honor of Mrs. N. Moore was given last Thursday at the home of Mir. and Mrs. A. H. Treadway, It was a fitting tribute of love and respect. The old ladies were honored guests which was also a notable tribute of respect for those classed old. The appella- ton of old would have seemed a misfit to the blind for pleasant ness and flashes of jollity were as cheery as from the matured young. The day was one long to be remembered by all present, and who of the guests will ever forget Mrs. Moore's birthday is the 24th of August?

London "Nation" Says u. S. Only
Can Stop Future Wars.

London, Oct. 6.-"The Weekly Ma
ton" in a long article warmly defend
ing the attitude Of the United States
during the war and regretting that her
hints at mediation" have only met
with cold neglect says active interven-
tion on the side of the Entente Allies
would have brought almost insoiupis
problems for the United States.
The newspaper declares, however,
that the United States has shown its
sympathy with the Entente Allies IN
many ways, especially in tolerance OF
our innovations of sea law and treat
ment Of neutrals."
Agreeing that to dictate peace would
bring no real settlement of the prob
lens confronting humanity, the news
paper contends that the entry OF the
United States into a league Of peace
is the only means for insurng the bal
ance of force on the side Of the law
abiding nations.

against civilization" says the news
rapcr. "if when the moment Of settle
ment arrives we refuse the aid OF the
only power which can bring healing

BERNST0RFF
DENIES RUM0R
mot Word OfTruth,' y
German Envoy
Asserts.
From the Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, Oct. 6.-Denial Of the
report that Ambassador Gerard was
bringing q German offer Of peace was
made tonight by Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador. He
said:
at is a pure invention. There is not
q word Of truth in it."
The ambassador evidently had COM
municated with his government and re-
ceived a reply branding the story as
fiction. He hinted that he knew where
the story came from and its purpose.
Officials of the German Embassy
charge that British sources inspired
the story to encourage the men in the
trenches. This trick of the game also
serves financial purposes, it was inti-
mated.
Acting Secretary of State Polk
said emphatically to-day. that the de-
partment had merely granted Mr.. Ge-
rard the customary sixty days leave
at his own refuest, and that it was
highly improbable that ne had any OF
fetal mission of which the State De-
partment was not informed.
As soon as Mr.. Gerard arrives he is
expected to report at the State Depart
ment, and undoubtedly he will see the
President also, officials say. All the
questions in which his embassy has
been concerned will be discussed, in
cluding the probabilities of an early
peace.
While the department does not be-
lieye Mr.. Gerard would accept so i'm
portant q mission without notifying
his government, it is realized that
available means Of communication be-
tween Washington and Berlin are very
hazardous where delicate subjects are
involved. The ambassador, it is felt,
might be especially reluctant to at
tempt TO communicate with the depart
ment regarding a matter as important
as peace proposal, withstne risk tha'
his messages might fall into the hands
of the Allies.
Officials at the department said to-
day that only a specific request for
mediation by one of the belligerents
would bring about any effort by this
country TO effect a European peace.
In the absence Of Secretary Lansing
who is i'll at home, high officials of the
department said no action would be
taken by this government unless actu-
ally requested. even il q direct offer
were to come from one side. Doubt
was expressed whether . willingness
to receive mediation would not have TO
come from both sides before this coun-
try would act 1t Is felt both groups
of belligerents have been so rigid in
their attitude that any advance by a
neutral would have to be extremely
cautious.

BANKERS PLEAD
FOR BAMBRICK
Ask Whitman to Stay tx.
ecution, Set for
To-day.

Two hundred leading bankers and
fnanciers late last night forwarded a
telegram to Governor Whitman ask
ing him to stay the execution OF Thomas
Rambrick. sentenced to die in the
electric chair at o'clock this morning.
This action was taken after Warden
Osborne had expressed his belief IN
Bambrick's innocence at the DINER Oh
the Industrial Finance Corporation in
the Hotel Astor.
After he had concluded, f. IL
Chomely Jones moved that the assem-
blage 90 on record asking the Governor
for a stay Of execution. This was
quickly seconded by James Barker and
carried. The message then was dis
matched. Theodore n. Vail and Her
bert L. Satterlee were among the hrst
names signed to the telegram.
Governor Whitman in Albany yes
.ordav refused to stay the sentence
"Bambrick was captured Immediate
" after the shooting while attempting
IN escape" said the Governor, ana
rovolver was found in his pocket, IN
which were two empty shells and three
uncxpIoded cartridges. From positive
and direct testimony OF the patroirneh
who overcame him and placed him
under arrest, it is impossible to see
how the Jury could have arrived al
anv other verdict than murder IN the
first degree.
az have this day listened to argu-
ments by the counsel for Bambrick 1or
the commutation of his sentence 10
life imprisonment, and no evidence has
been submitted to me which would
iustifv me in interfering in this case
The Governor made public letter
rocoived October from the District
Attorney Of New York County, statinS
that his Office had no recommendation
TO offer IN the Bambrick case.
"Karlin," says the District Attor,

this Office to join him in an applica-
ton for commutation Of the sentence.

was also shot by a person who has
never been apprehended. Mr.. Karlln's
theory is that if the sentence is com
muted the person who shot Bishop
may be apprehended and brought to
Justice. We feel that we hav, ample
and sufficient evidence to convict Rlley
Of the shooting of lyman without any
further aid.
"Karlins application on behalf OF
Bambrck is entirely a matter for Tx
ecutive judgment, and this once mas
no recommendation TO offer"
Osborne was told by Governor
Whitman at o'clock yesterday after
noon that he had declined to interfere
in the case of Thomas Bambrick
