GERARD GETS HURRIED
CALL AT PALM BEACH
Message From Washington
Rumored to Have Been
From President
INDORSES OVERMAN BILL

Palm Beach. March 25.-James w.
who is here recuperating from a mastoid
operation, was pulled from the surf Sun
day afternoon and rushed to the Break
ers in a bathrobe 10 answer a longds-
tdrice telephone call from Washington.
Mr.. Gerard declined to give any informa-
tion concerning the message, but there
was a rumor which could not be verified
that he was talking to the President for
the third time since his return from
Germany one year ago. Asked to COM
ment on the German drive, Mr.. Gerard
said:
"If they get through, 1t will wake
this country up. IL they don't, 1t may
still do some good toward that end.
don't know anything more about this
particular battle than you do, but l
know and have always said that Amer
lea has no conception of Germany's s
strength. Germany has her plans all laid
to come over here and make America
pay for this war"
lie remarked he thought a good many
OF the things his Sook forecast had
already taken place.
II am not going to state my views
about the war" he added, they might
be wrong but If ] say anything, | would
like to indorse the Overman bill"
Then he took pencil and wrote this
paragraph:
THE Overman bill, increasing the
power OF the President. should be passed
Autoeracy has one advantage. its eff
cheney in war. That efficiency We must
have No one believes that the Amer
lean people cannot get back after the
war every extraordinary power they may
have given the President in order TO OBJ.
tain that efficiency. No one believes fol
a second that President Wilson will use
those powers to make himself Diaz.'

'The German Government expects the
Russian Government ftly to answer
American Ambassador Francis's state
ment regarding the Russo-German peace
treaty" declared an official statement by
the German Government, wirelessed to
Petrograd today.
" The statement is an open Indictment
to resumption of the war"
Toxic. March 25.
The question Of the dispatch OF an
army to Siberia not only overshadows
every other question in Japan today.
but has created, a national problem not
approached in Importance since the
Rnsso-Japanese War. II Is understood
that Japan. after the frankest exchange
OF views with the Allies is still studying
the question and has not decided upon
Its policy.
Representative opinion among the
Japanese regards the situation as seri-
Gus and as fraught with possibilities of
danger to the safety and national in
terests Of Japan, as well as to the cause
OF the Allies. The chaos in Siberia, with
battles between opposing factions on
the border OF Manchuria, is regarded
of 100000 German and Austrian pris-
oners. who are virtually at liberty, and
\ by recent accounts that German officers
have been seen in the ranks fighting
with the Bolsheviki..
1t is announced that the Japanese
navy Is making careful preparations to
meet the possibility of the Germans
transporting submarines to the Pacific.
The two Japanese warships at Vladi-
vostok, 1t is pointed out. could land
marines In the event OF danger TO the
lives and property of the Japanese
The fact that several Japanese were
among the killed and wounded in recent
Siberian engagements has encourag ged
the press more vigorously to urge gov
ernmental action.
In Japan the war has created a grave
question by the steady rise in the price
OF food and other necessities, causing
increasing hardships to the masses
Although the Siberian situation is Sc.
rious, 1t is not deemed at present to be
critical; but the indications are that
Japan Will remain In state of alertness
and preparedness to meet eventualities
Should Intervention be decided upon 4,
is understood the Powers will not raise
the question of the necessity of Joint
military action and that the japanese
army alone would be intrusted with tn,
campaign. The question of how the Rus
sian people would view the entrance OF
Japanese forces into Siberia forms ar
important aspect of the present situa
ton =. =

Leonard A. Peck. professor OF Ger

ing. He had testified last Friday ana
was recalled today to identify other
articles he had translated Other ex-

to have teen penned by Werner and

roborated by Robert Ferguson. e. H.
Aiken and A. NJ Driscoll EMPLOYED
as weighers in the Postoffice. They
gave testimony that between last April
and September they had weighed many
sacks of mail containing the Tageblatt,
which was meant for out-of-town cir
culation.
Among those who attended the trial
today were Darkows two daughters.
one of whom attends Bryn Mawr Col
lege. She sat in the first row behind
the railing. Mrs. Werner, wife of
Werner. was at his side.
Max Lemke, a compositor for the Tag
eblatt for about six years, was called
as Government witness. He testified
that during the time he worked there
Warner and Darkow held positions as
editors.
After the conclusion of Max Lemke' 5
Testimony during which Judge Dickinson
remarked that compositors knowledge
of the affairs of n paper is often more
real than the EDITORS. Mr. Kane offered
IN evidence the charter of the ageblatt

of war, OF April s; and a government
publication showing the German popu-
lat on of Pennsylvania of 1910. The
first two were admitted by the court,
but the latter was rejected from evil
dence.
Mr.. Kane then ordered the files of
the Tageblatt from April G, to September
10, 1917, which were not admitted. He
offered them instead documentary evil
dence to overt Acts Nos. 81 and 3S
which were admitted. Judge Dickinson
said in answer TO Mr.. kane's conten-
tion that the issues in bulk showed
