TAKES STAND AGAINST

England Refuses Passports to So
ciaist Delegates-In Line
With United States.

Especial CabIexram to The Sunday Star

sCopyrisht. 1917. by Press Publishing Company
New York World.)
LONDON. June 2.-The Star CORE
spondent can state that no passports
50 far have been promised British So
cialists to attend the Stockholm con-
ference. but they have been told that
they can send delegates to the inerna-
tfonal socialist congress called on Rus
sian initiative.
The British government never would
have permitted the delegates facilities
for attending any conference orisinat-
ing in Germany or Austria or subject to
pro-GerTnan influence. but the Stock
holm gathering. whatever its origin.
has assumed a new complexion and it is
certain the Wilhelmstrasse never would
have intrigued for it IL Germany could
have foreseen how ii would be likely to
come out in practice.
OF course. the Russian congress was
on an entirely different footing from
the outset. and when 1t became clear
that II British delegates were refused
passports the insinuation would be
made that Great Britains war objects
would not bear discussion, the conclu-
sion evidently was reached here that
might be more regrettable than to al
low British delegates properly accred-
tied by responsible socialist organiza-
tions to give their views on peace be-
fore the congress.
Not to Represent Government.
They will not represent the British

known attitude of the entente powers
toward peace. 1t is pretty certain, also.
that they Will mot permit themselves
to become involved IN any pro- German
intrigue, and will not commit even
themselves to q premature peace, or
any terms such as Germany has been
putting forward.
For one thing, their position in this
country afterward would. be impossible
e they did anything Of the kind. But
there Is no reason to suspect them of
any such idea The suggestion, there
fore, that the granting of passports by
the British government indicates any
change whatever in its attitude toward
peace Is completely unfounded
The declarations of the entente powers
remain absolutely unaltered. They have
no responsibility for these socialist
In permitting delegates to attend them
have merely chosen the lesser Of two
evils.
Nothing to Fear From Discussion.
They have nothing to fear from a dis
cusston OF their war aims. but 1t prob
ably will be found before the conference
II ended. officials hero believe, that Ger
many viii not have the same experience.
In any case. no discussion. either at
Stockholm or at Petrograd, will throw
any responsibility on the entente gov
ernments.

standing between President Wilson and

sian. but to the Stockholm conference,
and at that time both the British and

AMERICANS ARE FREE

Teuton Undersecretary Of Foreign

Making Is Charged.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN. June Q. via London.f June
:. 3.23 a.m.-The German govern1hente
desire to facilitate the departure OF
Americans wishing to leave Germany
was reiterated today by Baron Won Dem
Bussche e-Haddenhausen. undersecfetary
for foreign affairs. in statement 70 tne
Associated Press
"Rumors that we are Intentionally de.
tanning citizens of your country arc
wholly without foundation. said the
baron 1--WE are aware that such asser-
ttons continually are being made ap-
parently with the purpose of infiuenc.
ing the United States government into
adopting reprisals. On the other hano,
unconf1rmed stories reaching US through
familiar misunderstanding sources TO
the effect that Germans in the United
States are being molested will fail Of
their object to trap US into taking
similar action. which appears the sole
purpose Of these canards.
Must Meet Regulations.
"As has been explained repeatedly.
citizens of all neutral and hostile coun-
conform to fixed police and military
passport regulations. restrictions which
also rigidly apply to our own citizens
desiring to cross the frontiers or leave
on vacation trips. 1t is quite plain that
the routine ceremonies involved IN the
issuance Of such permits not only are
time Consuming. but frequently are at
tended by petty annoyances which are
apt to be misinterpreted.
mot only are Americans perfectly free
to leave Germany. but they will be ac-
corded the same official accommodations
that we extend to subjects of other coun-
tries as well as to our own people. In
this respect the same restrictions are tm-
posed here as in other warning countries,
and 1t is quite plain that there can be no
exceptions to the established regulations
is uniform and positive: only In that way
can Determinations be avoided. In iso-
lated instances there may be unavoidabie
delay due to the desire of the authorities
to make personal investigation Of the ap-
plicant's reservation, which is quite nat
ural under war conditions.

Sees Victory for Germany.

George Roberts. NJ. p. has announced
his intention of not going to either
Petrograd or Stockholm. and one vet
eran socialist leader proclaims that
allied participation in the conferences
viii mean the greatest victory that Ger
many has yet won.
The radical Star takes a more hope
full view. After expressing it's sym
pathy with the logical French view
that no one party has any right to
meet the Germans in conference while
German soldiers are outraging French
soil. the paper says:
I'VE are nevertheless convinced that
1t is q mistake to veto the interna-
tionale. Let it meet, and II it can pave
the way for the overthrow Of the Prus-
sian autocracy. let 1t do so. It Is not
absolutely certain that the interna-
ttonale will fail to organize democracy
In Germany against the emperor Let
1t have Its chance to do so.
"Let Democracy's Wind Blow"
What the people did in Russia the
people sooner or later will do in Ger
many. in free Britain and in free
France. There is no need to fear de-
blow freely at Leeds and at stockholm
or Christiania. Germany. and Germany
alone. has any reason to fear the result.
The mention Of Chrtstiania arises from
the report that. in order to disassociate
the conference called by the Russians
from that which Germany has sought
to have held at Stockholm. the Nor
wegtan capital will be selected. instead
Of the Swedish. as the meeting place
of the intsrnationale after the dele
gates visit Petrograd."
The reference to Leeds is connected
with the difficulties the organizers Of
tomorrow's meeting in the Yorkshire
wool center met In the matter Of an as
sembly hall. The hall originally en-
gagged was refused to them when the
text Of the resolutions which it was
proposed to put before the meeting WAS
published this morning. and deiuncia-
tory articles are being printed in some
papers of ''the handful Of cranks and

Sd of the German inspired

observed that most German in

The efforts to beguile Rus

been unavailing.
The Zimmerman proposal
for an invasion of the United
States by Mexico and Japan
got nowhere.
The chief drawback about
all the Berlin scheming is that
crafty it lacks in SINGER
ity. 1t means betrayal of those
with whom the kaiser deals.
a stupid nation is able to
see this and they become
wary of any efforts from Ber-

DON'T WASTE BREAD

NJ READ is one of the items
I'D most commonly wasted
in many American house
holds, say the specialists of the
United States Department of
Agriculture. This waste is
probably due to the fact that
many housekeepers do not
think of bread as costing much
and are careless about its use
or do not know what to do with
the odds and ends frequently
found in the bread box.
Good, fresh bread has a
spong texture, which in time
disappears, leaving the bread
dry and crumbly, the moisture
gradually passing out through
the crust. Bread a little too
stale to be appetizirg, but not
yet hard, may be freshened by
putting it into the oven for a
few minutes. The heat seems
to drive the moisture from the
crust back into the center of
the loaf, making the crust more
crisp and the crumb a little
more spongy. Some house
keepers moisten the surface OF
the bread and sometimes cover
1t before putting it into the
oven, but others think that
moistening Injuries the texture
of the crust without improving
the crumb.
Rolls or biscuits which have
a greater surface in proportion
to their size dry out more rap
idly than loaves of bread. 1t
is good planning, therefore, not
to provide more than will be
used at a meal or at least a
day after baking. For similar
reasons. bread stays fresh
longer in the loaf than after it
is sliced. No more than will
be needed should be cut for
any one meal, and one loaf
should be used up before the
next is cut into. When the
needs freshening it is a
good plan to cut the required
and put them into the
oven for a few minutes just be-
fore serving.
