Washington, d. c., Aug. 30.-Discus.
sion of President Wilson's rejection of
the pope's peace proposals in diplomatic
circles yesterday revealed that even
some of the entente governments were
unprepared for the prompt fashion in
which the president disposed of matter
OF such tremendous Importance.
There had been no doubt at any time
as to the general nature of the reply,
and the understanding is that the Unit
ed States was generally looked on as
the nation to speak first; but some of
the allied foreign offices, accustomed to
long deliberated moves in diplomacy,
regarded the exchanges that had been
going on between Washington and their
own capitals as barely completed. They
had rather expected further discussion of
the time for dispatching replies.
The entente representatives in Wash
ington realized. however, that President
Wilson must have had some good reason
for acting so quickly. Speculation
ascribes the motive to a desire to i'm
press favorably the great Russian con-
vention at Moscow. while that body still
is in plastic and receptive state 1t
also was suggested that the president
might have wished to anticipate by his
state paper obstructive ac-
tion by the pacifst elements in and out
Of Congress in the United States.
No rejoinder from the Vatican is ex-
pected here in the immediate future.

With added desperation because of the
weeping indictment of their methods, it
$ confidently believed here that the
pirit of revolt will develop steadily and
apidly among the people in Germany,
ringing nearer the day when they will
ssert themselves to the point where
Wilson may feel safe in listen

hat they are from the German people
themselves and not from the overlords

SOAP BOX ORATORS
ARRESTED IN NEH YORK
Police Take Friends of Irish Freedom"
into Custody and Disperse Mob
That Had Gathered.

New York, Aug. 30.--The most serious
street disturbances this city has expert.
enced since soap box" orators became
an issue between the authorities and
critics of the government, occurred last
night at an open-air meeting OF the
Friends of Irish Freedom. Several men
and women were arrested. The police
had to fight their way through turbu.
lent surging crowd in order to get their
prisoners to the night court, where the
uproar increased to such proportions that
police reserves had to be summoned to
disperse the mobs.
Stephen johnson, organizer of the
Friends of Irish Freedom, and John ID.
Moore, ex-secretary, were among those
arrested.
The Friends of Irish Freedom have
been holding nightly meetings at Broad
way and 37th street, but last night when
Moore and number of other speakers
reached the corner they found recruit
ing meeting in progress, and they moved
down to the 35th street corner. The
crowd which had assembled at 37th street
to hear the Friends" paid little heed
to appeals from the young officers for re-
cruits, and when Moore and the others
of the party appeared, they followed him
to the new meeting place.
Meantime the crowd had grown until
the police estimated that fully 5000 per-
sons were packed in the street. johnson
arose to speak He referred to the re-
cruiting party as an "Anglo-Saxon plot
of Mayor Mitchell and the board of mag |
istrates to throttle free speech and de-
fed the police to stop the meeting.
A policeman walked quietly up to the
platform and whispered to johnson that
he was under arrest, and johnson quick
ly shouted the fact to the crowd. He
urged them to keep quiet.
Shaun Conway, another speaker, had
talked only few minutes when he was
arrested. When Conway was removed
from the platform, Moore is said to have
arisen, and waving an American flag,
began his speech, paying particular at
tention to Great Britain. He was arrest
ed and the crowd grew boisterous. A
woman leaped to the platform and, toss
ng aside her hat, launched into an i'm 4
1assioned plea for free speech.
Another woman, who gave her name to
he police as Margaret Curley, took the i
platform, and Immediately the crowd be- I
,an to jeer the police. Miss Curley tried I
o speak, but her voice was drowned by t
he crowd She was finally escorted
rom the stand and placed under arrest. I
The crowd became so turbulent that a e
all was sent for police reserves, and men q
rom two stations soon joined the hun
red and more already there. Their ap- 1
earanee was greeted by further jeering. l
,rawing their night sticks, they charged
he crowd.
The police gradually forced the crowds !.

olice automobiles were driven on the :
