will arise again to protect Germany in
her greatest crisis. This company of

Report From Bucharest.
The latest story is told in report
to the State department from William
Whiting Andrews, secretary of the To-
cation at Bucharest, and letter from
Foreign Minister Porumbaru, Of Ru-
mania. $
Parcels and boxes taken into the
German consulate at Bucharest with
display Of great precaation aroused the
suspicious of the Roumanian govern
ment. On August q, 1916, the evening
prior to the date of Roumania's de-
claration of war. some of the cases
were taken to the German legation, To-
Gated In a different building from the
consulate.
Convinced that the boxes were not,
taken away from the legation by the
German diplomatic mission on its de-
parture from Bucharest, the Rouman-
Ian authorities later ordered the POI
lice to find and examine their con-
tents. The police communicated with
American Minister Vopicka, then in
charge of German interests, who re-
luctantly assigned Secretary Andrews
to observe the search. The boxes
we're found buried in the garden OF
the German legation.
Mr.. Andrews report says:
The protection of the United States
was in this manner shamefully abused
and exploited. It this instance, at
least, the German government cannot
have recourse to its usual system Of
denial"

Further Discussion Loc..ins

Washington, Sept. 24.-Unless it Is
forced by a fresh appeal from Pope
Benedict, there will be no further
discussion Of peace at this time by
the United States and It's Allies.
This was clearly Indicated both at
the State department and by Allied
diplomats after publication of the I'M.
official texts of the replies Of Ger
many and Austria to the papal appeal
There was nothing unexpected in eth
er response, although the Austrian
note aroused some interest because
OF its apparent sincerity:
Question Austria's Reply.
Notwithstanding the apparent sin
certify of Austria's reply some diplo-
mats hold the opinion that Germany
was responsible to a large extent for
its character. Many government Of
tictals, however, appeared to think
that Austria's response was the cry
OF government sickened by warfare
and perhaps indicated growing spirit
Of revolt against German domination.
May Be Using Austria.
Those who held that Germany was
responsible for Austria's attitude
pointed out that It was not improba-
BILE that Germany, herself wearfed and
weakened, was using Austria to force
further the wedges of peace while she
remained in the background to IL
such advantage as may come to the
one not too eager to yield.
Officials of this government have
dot changed their conviction that while
the Pope was actuated by the noblest
motives the governments Of the Teu-
tonic powers are nevertheless taking
full advantage Of it to further skill

has only falsity for It's basis.

WASHINGTON, Oct. of

the pledge of Viscount Ishii, head
of the Japanese mission, for an

important utterance from the

The statement of Japan's rep

night In a formal prepared speech,
suggesting that its full weight and
Importance had been considered
in advance.
The time chosen for the pro-
nouncement was the climax of the
missions visit to New York, after
tour covering various cities.
Viscount Ishii had given no hint
OF Japan's policy in previous
speeches.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Unit

ant victory Of the war, thru TIL
acknowledgment of Viscount Ish4
that Americas trade rights 4
China will not be interferred viii
by Japan and that Japan pledge
herself to preserve China's indd

This American success will ranl
second only to the overthrow d

Had the United States remained
neutral, there would have been nj

such gigantic war preparations q
America is now putting foruhk
Japan would not have been iml
pressed by the immense pOwe1

standings probably would have
continued to the end OF tranof

the result has been to chanei

BY no possibility could the head
OF the Japanese mission havx
pledged his country to the open

1t is apparent Viscount Ishii had
been in intimate communicated
