GERMANS OBJECT
TO JOHN r. MOTT

Violating Neutrality.

BERLIN, via London. July 30.-German

ference announce publicly that they no
longer consider DR.. John r. Mott of New

BRIBES OFFERED TO

Residents of Alien Districts
Try to "Fix" the Doctor.

One of the members of a draft exemp-

foreign born citizens are numerous de-
clared last night that large number
Of men notified to appear for physical
examination have openly offered bribes
to board members to exempt them from

lstered men with direct offers of money
This doctor has also had men call
on him at his Office" said the board
member. I'm one case a man offered
considerable sum II the physician would
declare him UNIT when he appeared for
examination. This man was backed up
by his parents, who said that II what
was offered was not enough they would
furnish more"
Most Of the attempts at bribery have
been made by foreign born citizens,
It was reported last night that In the
foreign districts OF the city many men
are approaching registered men and tell

FLANDERS GUNS

Houses Tremble as Result of

Special Gable Despatch 10 The srx.


LONDON. July 30.-Reports from the
front unanimously declare that all Of
the superlatives which have been hith-
erto used in describing artillery opera
tions are hopelessly inadequate to i'm
press the magnitude Of the present bonn
bardment on the British front
Such assurances are entirely unneces-
sary in London, for the reason that the
reverberations from the Flanders battle
field are heard every night when the
roar OF the city's traffic subsidies. There
are curious debates constantly to be
heard as to whether the people really
hear or feel the reverbera:ions, which
frequently make houses treLSble as from
the shocks of far distant earthquake.
The effect makes a powerful appeal 20
the Imagination. Most people insist that
they feel the shocks rather than hear
the reports.
1t is pointed out that the people who
think they really hear the cannon are
probably wrong, for the reason that the
sound would probably be disspated by
the flight of 120 miles over the land and
sea

ERZBERGER ACTS ALONE.
Omcial Germany Does Not share
His Hope of Peace.

BERLIN, Sunday, via London. July 80.
The German official world apparently
is not inclined to share the optimism
which Matthias ErzberGer exhibited in
the recent interview he gave in Zurich
and which burst in upon Berlin to-day.

Regarding the ErzberRer interview the
Cologne Gazette observes:
After this interview Herr Erzberger
cannot longer be taken seriously. How
ever for the sake of the public interest
we would urgently request him to dis
continue playing the role of Providence
| to the German people"
The Berlin TdOes Zeitun0 says: Herr
Erzberger talks much, but in the long
run everything cannot be overlooked"
Germdnid continues to defend the
Centrist leader against attacks from
within the ranks OF his own party, as

wholly in accord with the Pope's recent

PEACE TALK AIM
T0DECEIVE U.
London Press Believes Idea Is
to Delay Americas Prep
aration for War.
Special Gable DespGtcn to TIE suy

LONDON, July 30.--That the Austro-
German peace talk is intended primarily
to delay Americas preparations for war
seemed to be the prevailing opinion OF
the British press to-day. Although the
attack upon France has stirred up GER
tain amount of resentment, the inter-
views of DR.. Georg Michaelis, the Ger
man Imperial Chancellor, and Count
Czernin, the Austrian Foreign Minister,
are not taken seriously as bona hde
peace moves.
Without an offer to evacuate and re-
store conquered territories the two inter-
views, apparently issued in colluslon, are
considered worse than futile so far as
possibility OF real results Is concerned.
Many OF the papers treat the statements
of DR.. Michaels and Count Czernin as
signs of weakness.
DisavowaI Is Urged.
The Daily Neps. discussing the Chan
cellor's accusations against France, says
that although the statements are value
less as evidence, they should not be left
unanswered, and calls for a clear cut
disavowal at the coming conference of
the Allies. The paper scores the ig-
norance or the folly of Sir Edward Car
sons threat to drive the Germans be-
yond the Rhine"
The Chronicle opposes taking away
any actual German soil. but says the
aim OF France probably Is merely to re-
store the old German frontier by taking
a narrow strip on the German side of
the Rhine for strategic reasons. While
not absolutely defending such a policy,
the Chronicle intimates plainly that it
would not oppose It,
Foreign once View.
The British Foreign Office does not re-
gard seriously the alleged exposure by
the German Chancellor of an imperialis-
tic pact between France and Russia, be-
fore the Russian revolution. guarantee
ing France important territorial gains
west of the Rhine.
IAN explanation of course is not due
from London, because ii Is an entirely
French concern" said Foreign Office
official to-day. "Michaels manifestly
was compelled to make an attempt to
distract the German peoples attention
from the really sensational revelations
of the Berlin conference of July 8, 1914,
! when 1t was decided secretly to force
, war, That revelation, II it could be
| forced upon the attention OF the Ger
man public, undoubtedly would produce
| the most important result. The German
| Government deems 1t necessary to give
| the people something else to think
| about.
THE present charges and counter
| charges between the political authorities
| OF both sides is merely intellectual spar
| ring, killing time pending military de-
velopments on which now any political
development necessarily depends"
