The objection to Senator Cores
statement Of the Presidents remarks
was that the Senator seemed To con
vpy the idea that the President was
becoming belligerent and WAS inclined
to the belief that participation in the
war would not he a bad thing for this
country.
On the contrary. the President in
all his talks with members Of Con
gress insisted that war was the last
thing that he wanted and that his
one that would insure peace.
F'irst said by Won Bernstor6.
In referring to representation that
the severing of diplomatic relations

Ambassador. to Secretary Lansing,

When Secretary Lansing was ques.

md the German Ambassador also re-
fused to say anything one way ar the
other. In reply to question Count
Won Bcrnstorfr did deny, however,
that ne had intimated In any way
that Germany would declare war.
II is believed that the Ambassadors
remark TO Secretary Lansing was
merely the expression Of his opinion
as to what the ultimate results OF n

As n result Of the shock given IN
Congress by Senator Cores stnte-

situation In regard to the armed

statement;

ference with the President OF the United

Information, II not the declaration. that
II Germany insisted upon her position the
United states would insist upon her posi-
ton. and that II would result probably
In a breach Of diplomatic relations. and
that q breach of diplomatic relations
would probably be followed by state Of
war, and that a state of war might not
be OF itself and Of necessity An evil to
this republic. but that the Cnitel States,

riers which shall help to keep out the
thousands, Who DR.. Gratz believes
will want and try to forsake their ma
tive country and its heavy problems.
DR.. Gratz declares that he knows
from personal investigation that the
tendency to emigrate from agricul-
tural Hungary will be in strong con-
trast to the tendency in Industrial
Austria and Germany TO stay at home.
The cause for this tendency OF
course, he explains, is to be found in
the fact that the agricultural worker
is not going TO be so fortunately sit
uated after the war as the industrial
man. especially as the worker in Ger
many and a great part Of Austria who
is probably going to find plenty OF
work at wages high enough to onset
the present and prospective high
prices.
Yet he believes, there will be some
tendency on the part Of the skilled
Iaborcr TO go across to the new home.
His hope that this is going to be pre-
vented during a critical period in E'l-
rome lies not only in possible legisla-
ion here but in the repeated indica-
tions from America that it would IKE
10 check the number OF emigTants
