STATEMENT BY
THOMAS ROBINS

New York. May Gas the official
spokesman of the naval consulting board.
Thomas Robins, gave out this statement
Saturday night in reference to Mr.. Saun-
ders announcement;
If Mr.. Saunders is correctly quoted as
saying that some American genius <has
perfected an invention which will clear
the waters of submarines, he must have
knowledge of some invention which is rot
known to me or to the other members OF
the board. We are still searching for ex-
actly that kind of invention"
In later statement Mr.. Saunders reit-
Grated the belief that the plans formulat-
ed would prove effective in dealing with
submarines, but made it plain that he
was merely voicing hts personal opinion.

The conflict is now settled and we
must go on quietly with our work. We

The crisis occurred on account of a

without committing himself def

dicated, included military offensive

call for the transportation and landing

upon actual tests which have proved

The Naval operations would under the
plan be directed toward bottling up the

be blockaded and penetrated and its

DR.. Durpba's View Of
U. S. Entry to War
Calls President obstinate An.
glophile Autocrat"

Amsterdam (via London. Nay e.
THE entire fault for Americas entry
into the war lies with President Will
son. who Is an obstinate Anslophils
autocrat dled with doetrinary stub
borness.". writes DR. Constantine The.
odor Dumba. former Austro- Hungarian
May number Of the oesterreichische
Rundschau. a copy Of which has been
received here.
DR.. Dumba begins his article by say
ing that before all else President Will
son wanted to prevent q disturbance
Of the balance Of power, in Europe in
favor Of the Central Powers. Presi-
dent Wilson. he adds. was convinced
that the sharpened submarine warfare
would carry the hunger blockade to
England and bring the Entente to its
knees by the destruction Of cargo space.
The writer further credits President
Wilson with the apprehension that the
Central Powers would create a virtual
self-supporting midEuropean Bloc. ex-
tending to Asia Minor and Mesopota-
mia. which he says. in Presidents viii
sons eyes would be more dangerous
and more powerful than Great Britain.
Thence the United States has Joined in
the war.
DR.. Dumba says the United States
was particularly anxious to- secure
Great Britain's support against Japan
over-lordship in the Pacific. Further
more. the entry Oft the United States
into the war was a plausible pretext
for the creation Of a. big army and fl
nally by her action she has acquired
