WIFE PLEADS
FOR SULLIVAN
Asks State Department to
Act in Behalf of Former
u. S. Diplomat.
ARRESTED BY BRITISH IN
CONNECTION WITH REVOLT

The wife of James NJ. Sullivan, former
United States Minister to Santo Domingo,
who has been arrested in connection with
the Dublin rebellion, yesterday appealed
to Secretary Lansing to have the State
Department use its good offices in his
behalf
Sullivan's arrest presents a new case,
for this Is the first time during the pres
ent European war that an American has
been arrested in any of the beIlIgerent
countries charged with treason.
Secretary Lansing stated the depart
ment had not yet acted, but it was in
dicated that the government would do
all 1t could. 1t Is said that Ambassador
Page will be instructed to look into the
case and make such appeals to the Brit
ish government as may be proper.
Mr.. Sullivan, with his wife and son,
left New York last July for a visit to
his mother at his birthplace at Limerick,
Ireland. He sailed shortly after he had
been allowed to resign as Minister to
Santo Domingo following an adverse re-
port by Congressional committee, on
his official conduct there.
Mr.. Sullivan first came to notice as
attorney for Jack Rose in the Rosenthal
murder case. 1t was always understood
he was a personal appointee of William
]. Bryan to the santo Domingo post.

BARRETT FOR
BIGGER FORCE
Pan-American Head Urges
Large Army and Navy to En-
force Monroe Doctrine.
TALKS PREPAREDNESS TO
WOMEN AT MILITARY CAMP
Says U. S. Must Be Ready to Protect
Not Only This Country. But South
and Central America, Too.

An urgent plea for preparedness,
adequate to protect on both land and
sea not only the United States, but
South and Central America, was made by
John Barrett, director general of the Pan
American Union, in an address at the
National Service School camp yesterday
afternoon.
''Pan-American preparedness" he said,
is matter of immeasurable Importance
to the United States. Upon It may de-
pend the very existence Of every Amert-
can nation. without It, the Monroe
Doctrine may become a scrap Of paper
a bundle of meaningless words.
Unless the United States army and
navy shall be adequate to enforce re-
spect for the Monroe Doctrine wherever
called upon, 1t will have no significance
beyond the confines OF the United States
Without the actual power Of enforcement
back of it, it will be neither applicable
or respected outside OF the United States.
Whats the use of the Monroe Doctrine
unless 1t means just as much in London,
In Berlin. in Paris, in Madrid. in Pstro-
gard. and in Tokyo, as 1t does In Wash
ington."
silver Lining TO CIoud.-
Mr. Barrett asserted that the twenty
one nations of the western hemisphere
are entering upon an extraordinary era
Of New pan-Americanism. He said the
European war has done more to produce
this result than any other event since the
declaration Of the Monroe Doctrine in
1923, and that the silver lining Of the
European war cloud for the Americas Is
the impetus and inspiration which It has
given to pan-American solidarity, CO.
operation, and commerce"
The speaker said that IN urging pan
American preparedness he did not mean
that every American republic should
equip itself equal to the task of repelling
foreign invasion. for that would be too
great a burden, but that the United
States should be sufficiently prepared to
protect the republics If they should be
in danger Of attack from a European or
Asiatic foe
while it is the sincere belief Of most
students Of pan-Americanism," he said
that no European nation, or group Of
nations will ever question the Monroe

BREAK FEARED
OVER ANSWER
Forecast of Note by Gerard
Causes Apprehension
in Capital.
PRESIDENT DECLARED
TO BE VERY IMPATIENT
Apparent "Quibbling" on Part Of
Germany Excites Unfavorable
Comment in Various Quarters.

Prior to the receipt OF Germany's re
ply, Ambassador Gerard at Berlin sent a
forecast OF the note, and while he re-
garded Il as favorable, the forecast was
so involved and indefinite that neither
President Wilson nor Secretary OF State
Lansing were able TO form clear con-
ception Of what Germsny's position really
was. This, in itself, made an unfavorable
impression on the President, who insists
upon definite and unequivocable assur-
ances that the submarine menace to non
combstants Immediately cease.
In some quarters a break in diplomatic
relations is regarded as almost newt
able.
Secretary Lansing said Yesterday after
noon that Mr.. Gerard's dispatch was so
badly garbled that it was impossible for
him to say what it meant. He did not
know whether to regard it as favorable
or otherwise Later the Secretary said
that the Ambassadors ''Esrbled dis
patch" had been Strengthened out. But
he still was unable to understand IT, The
same information came from the White
House.
President Impatient.
The Presidents attitude was represent
ed as being almost impatient. The pre-
lIminary reports from Berlin conveyed
the impression that Germany did not
fully realize the gravity Of the situa-
ton which caused the President to dis
patch his recent note. 1t was asserted
emphatically that the President would
not consider any proposals made by Ger
many conditional upon steps being taken
by the United States TO bring the British
blockade within the confines OF interna-
tional law. This was one Of the con-
ditions which has been mentioned in un-
official dispatches Of the last few days
as a probable provision Of the German
note
The Presidents determination 10 act
drastically as soon as an unsatisfa ctory
reply from Berlin was received was re-
hected yesterday in a conference he held
with Chairman Hay,.of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. The Prcsi-
dent is understood TO have expressed the
wish that the conference committee OF
the House and Senate on the army bill
should expedite its deliberations instead
Of delaying longer over the pros and cons
Of the House plan for Federalizing the
militia and the Senate plan for a national
volunteer force.
Officials believe that the Presidents S
first step after the severance Of dlplo-
matte relations would be to call upon
Congress to pass the army and navy pro-
gram as emergency measures.

 The Mission of the Church. pr. Cross sermon on ''The Mission of the Church" dealt mainly with the relative duties of the church m ref orcnce to the community. He spoke of inc oft used term "The Kingdom of Godn and declared that it is much more fitting to use the term The Family of God inasmuch as God is recognized as the Father and all Christian people are members of His great family.' The preacher pointed out that oftimes church does not attain it's fullest efficiency in a com munitv because it waits for the com to como: to the church.
