SIAM CRANARY
Action May Have Direct.
Effect Upon Attitude
of China Towards
Germany

New York, July 23.-The announcement
that Siam has declared state of war
with Germany carries greater signif-
canoe than might at first be supposed,
according to a statement made here today
by John Barrett, director of the Pan
American Union. formerly United States
minister to Siam.
Slams chief importance in the present
war crisis is that it Is practically the
granary or source of food supply for
China, and it's action may have a direct
effect upon China's attitude toward Ger
many" said Mr. Barrett. 1T also gives
the Allies now for the first time an un-
broken favorable coast line all the way
from China to the Mediterranean, for
Siam was the only neutral territory In
that entire distance"

DR.. M|CHAELIS
IS Subject Of Debate in
u. S. Senate
Sreech Not Written by Chancellor but
Bid to U. S. for Peace Says Lewis
King Sharply Differs

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Lewis
declared in the Senate today that IN
his opinion the recent speech of DR..
Michaelis, the new chancellor of Ger
many. was a direct invitation to the
United States to use its influence Tor
peace.
He said he believed the central pow
ers would be willing to accept peace
without victory.
II interpret it to mean that the mere
asking for peace by the allies would
be the occasion for Germany agreeing
TO discussing terms" said he. Senator
Lewis said he believed that the speech
was peculiarly directed to the Unit
ed States" and added his opinion that
it was not written by the chancellor.
In a spirited reply Senator King of
Utah declared it folly to discuss peace
and contended that DR.. Mlchaeils
spec oh was not susceptible TO 1ena :
ter Lewis construction.
1T was tribute to Bethmann-
Hollweg," said Senator King, AN en-
dorsement of the policy of blood, cru
city, rapacity and wickedness which
has characterized the German prose
cution Of the war. 1t endorsed the
ruthless submarine policy and boasts
of it's infamous success. 1t seems 10
me that the senator in q desire TO seek
peace has been intent on reading into
the speech sentiments never express
ed BY the German chancellor
