WASHINGTON, March 26-This gov
ernment has received, it was disclosed
to-day, an amazing article by Count
Johann Won Bernstorff, former German
Ambassador to the United States, in
the form Of an obituary of Colonel E.
M. House, member of the American
delegation to the peace conference
That serious report of the death of
Colonel House could have reached Ber-
lin is not believed here. Colonel House
recently was confined to his rooms in
Paris by illness, but was at no time
dangerously sick.
The assumption, in respect of Count
Won Bernstorf's "recollections' of
Colonel House, with whom he claims to
have had intimate relatioifs," is that
the article, which appeared in the Ber-
lin "Tageblatt," was prepared with the
object of any possible influence it
might have upon both Colonel House
and President Wilson at the peace con-
ference.
The former German Ambassador as
serts Colonel House was the most "sin-
cere and honest pacifst" he ever knew,
and that the Colonel twas just as en-
phatic at London against the lawles
blockade as he was at Berlin against
unrestricted submarine warfare" Both
methods Of carrying on war" he says,
"antagonized the human and compass
sionate heart of Mr.. House" Bern
storff says he "cannot imagine that
Colonel House in the last months of his
life could have thought differently than
before"
Text Of the Article
The complete text of the article as
it appeared in the "rageblatt" follows:
"Count Won Bernstorff who for years
was our Ambassador at Washington, has
sent us at our request the following
recolections of Colonel House, with
whom he was on terms of intimate
friendship:
""rhe report Of the sudden demise of
Colonel House, who was at Paris as n
member Of the American peace delega-
tion, filed me with sorrow, because
during my activities at Washington ]
learned to know him intimately and
with the sincere regard Of friend.
"Coloncl House, who had an unas-
suming home at New York, occupied
very peculiar and influential position
at the White House. He was bound to
the President by very close friendship;
nevertheless, he always refused to nc
cept any public office, in spite OF the
fact that he lived in modest circum-
stances and could have secured any
Cabinet or ambassadorial post he de-
sired. In this manner he remained en-
tirely independent. and was, after Pres
ident Wilson's accession to office. in
March, 1913, his nearest adviser on
home, as we'll as on foreign affairs. AS
such, Colonel House occupied posi-
tion which is unique in American his
tory.
During the war Mr.. Wilson trusted
him with the most important missions
to foreign lands. on which he twice Wis
tied Berlin. During one of his stays
at London Colonel House remarked to
an English Minister'S wife, who was
none too friendly to America, that he
was the eyes and ears of the Pres.-
dent. | know from personal expert

Tyler Brought Here
For Trial ON CHARGE
OF Holding Up Bank
Wife Tells District Attorney
Lewis of Life Here Before
and After East BROOKLYN
Robbery Caused 2 Deaths

Roy Tyler alias Frank McGann, who
has been indicted for the robbery of
the East Brooklyn Savings Bank. when
two bank employees were killed and
$4,000 stolen last December, arrived
here yesterday from St Louis. He was
accompanied by his wife and DR.. and
Mrs. Ralph Harding, of Kansas City,
who were arrested with him in the
West.
These three came East Of their own
accord. Tyler was brought here by
Detectives Charles Eason and Barney
Dowd, of Brooklyn Headquarters, and
Assistant District Attorney Conway.
Until $3.50 last night District Attor-
rey Harry f. Lewis and his assistants
questioned Mrs. Tyler concerning the
whereabouts of her and her husband
the week before and the week after
the robbery. Tyler already has as
serted his innocence and the statement
made by Mrs. Tyler last night is said
to have borne out his story. She gave
the names of several hotels at which
she said they had stopped in the week
preceding and the week following the
hold-up Of the bank.
Mr.. Lewis would not discuss the sit
natlon further last night than to say:
1 am busy examining these four per
cons. I intend to keep at it until 7
am fully satisfied they have given me
al the information | seek"
-, ~ is probable the examination of the
ylers and the Hardings will continue
to-day. George Mccullough, driver of
the taxicab in which the hold-up men
rode to and escaped from the bank,
wEo IS out on $4,000 bail, has been
brought from his home to the Dis
trict Attorneys Office. SO has John
Sulllgan, the taxi starter from whom
the two bandits hired tho car. He has
been in Raymond Street Jail.
Detectives say the statements of the
Hardings and the Tylers are remark
ably similar and constitute complete
allDi for the accused man.
Following the questioning Of Mrs.
Tyler her husband was called into Mr..
LewIs's Office and questioned for two
hours. Tyler reiterated his statement
that he was nowhere near Brooklyn Mt
the time Of the robbery, or for weeks
before or after 1T occurred The list
Of hotels he gave the District Attorney
agreed with that furnished by his wife
previously.
Shortly after midnight Detective
Albert Doody, who was wounded by
one Of the bandits during their escape
from the bank, confronted Tyler in an
effort to identify him. A saloon keeper
named Martin, in whose place the men
had bought drink before the robbery,
also was called in. Mr.. Lewis would
not say whether they had identified
Tyler.
1t could not be learned whether Nc
Cullough and Mulligan had confronted
Tyler.

Legations TO Adjust
Tien-tsin Disturbance
Neither America Nor Japan Elk.
pected to Make Diplomatic
Incident of Episode

WASHINGTON. March 26.--It is
probable, according to official informa-
tion obtained here to-day, that the re-
cent Japanese American disturbance
at Tientsin will be settled by the lega-
tions of Japan and the United States,
respectively, at Peking.
1t is known to be the purpose of
neither the American nor the Japanese
government TO make diplomatic in
cident of the trouble. The Japanese,
as well as the American Legation at
Peking, instructed their secretaries to
proceed to Tien-tsin to make an in
vestigation, and their reports are ex-
pected to form the basis of friendly
settlement by the two legations, with
approval of the Toxic and Washington
governments.
According to official cables just re-
ceived, sensational reports saying the
japanese consul was maltreated by
American soldiers at Tien-tsi were
inventions. The report that the Ameri-
can consul was stoned by japanese also
is declared authoritatively to have been
untrue.

ence how thoroughly and correctly he
has kept his friend informed on condi-
tions in Europe.
Reserve Hard to Break
ut was not easy to become intimate
ly acquainted with Colonel House,
whose provcrbial taciturnity could be
compared to the reticence of old
Moltke. To the majority of his coun-
trymen, but especially to his country
men from the South, Colonel House
was, with all his personal charm and
Southern courtesy, reserved.
Some time was required until
could nearer approach this wise and in
teresting man. We did not reach inti-
mate relations until his rst trip to
Berlin. At that time it was already the
sincere wish of Colonel House to pro-
cure for his great friend the highest
fame of peace arbiter. Later, at the
time of the peace move Of Mr.. Wilson
in the winter of 1916'17-he was his
right hand, and conducted negotiations
with me. 1t remains for the future to
throw clear light over the negotia-
tions which took place then. To-day |
wish to point only to the Presidents
"pcace without victory" programme of
the winter of 1916-I7.
"'By his personality, Mr.. House was
peculiarly fitted to be the champion Of
this idea. l have never known a more
sincere and honest pacifist than he
He abhorred war because it was in con-
tradiction to his ideals of noble
humanity. He frequently spoke with
indignation about men who enriched
themselves through the war, and added
that he would never touch the stocks
Of war industries.
Against Blockade of Germany
"'Ho repeatedly told me that he was
just as emphatic at London against the
lawless blockade as he was at Berlin
against unrestricted submarine war
fare. Both methods of carrying on
war antagonized the humane and COM
could not conceive why women and
children should die either through
drowning or through starvation that
tho objects of impcralistic policies,
which he condemned, should be
achieved.
ain addition to this, he was con-
vinccd that neither method would de-
eide the war, but only create limitlcss
bitterness between the warning par
ties, which would be in the way Of
the coming work for the peace Of the
future. Many OF Colonel Houses
opinions expressed nt that time (nnd
az II German am sorry for this) were
proved to have been correct. As we
now see tho war was in effect, decided
through Americas entrance and the
consequence Of prcponderancc Of ma
tcrial and men.
"'Thcrc are many noble mon, whose
minds have been poisoned through psy-
Geological effect of the war. !, how
ever, canrot imagine that Colonel
House in the last months Of his life
could have thought differently than
before. His judgment was too matter
of fact and unimpassioned We may
say that even now he would have been
the chief champion of the idea of
Just peace and Of a league of nations.
In the deceased, the good cause of
reconciliation of peoples is losing one
