BRAZILIANS DENY
PURCHASE OF SHIPS

RIO DE JANEIRo. Aug. 2.-The
brazilian press places little cred
ence in the report from New York
that Brazil is negotiating with EuK-
land for the purchase OF two battle
ships, and il is believed that the
rumor arose through a confused in
depreciation Of the work Of the
Brazilian naval commission. This
now is in France liquidating the
affairs connected with former Ger
man ships leased by Brazil to the
French government.
o. Paiz points out that this rumor
has been circulated many times be-
fore and comments upon the pc
culiar" persistence with which it
recUrs every few months.

NAPLES, Aug. 2.-From every
corner of the civilized world wher-
ever the golden voice of Enrico
Caruso has been heard. from princes
and presidents. rich men and peas
ants, messages Of coincidence to
the great tenor's family and to the
city and country he loved are pour
ing in by wire. mail and cable.
All Naples, all Italy. in fact. is
struck dumb with amazed sorroE at
the passing of a national idol, for
no man in public life meant more to
his countrymen.
Crowds Pray for Him.
His passing was like that of a
king. Great crowds of NNeapolitans
gathered during his last hours and
knelt to pray in the streets for his
recovery, until news came that the
wonderful spirit that had carried
him through the crisis months be-
fore had failed in its last test and
that the voice would be heard no
more.
The profound shock was height
ened by the fact that throughout the
happy weeks since his return to his
beloved HON no hint of the ap-
preaching end came either from the
master singer or his physician. Re-
ports that he was falling. that he
would never sing again. that he had
come home to die. were denied by
his friends and himself.
Had Resumed Singing.

Caruso believed II. too. He ap-
peared to gain in strength. Each
Gay he visited the music room of
his home and hummed over the roles
of the operas in which he hoped to
be heard this winter. Occasionally
his favored friends listened to him
in the very private hearings. with
which he INDUCED his desire to try
the capacity Of his voico. They
came away saying "ne is as good as
ever. A few months of sunshine

PEACE PROPOSALS
WILL Be DEBATED
BY DAHL EIREANN
Members in Jail Likely to
Be Released to At
tend Session.
tSrt cisl catie 20 The Washington Herald
End Chicago Tribune.)
nv JnIIN STEELE

LONDON. Aug. 2-IreIand still
preserves sphinx-like silence on
Great Britain's peace proposals and
it is likely it will continue to do
so for another week or more.
Eamonn de Valera has consulted
practically all of his colleagues Of
Rail Eireann. as well as many local
leaders of the Sim Fein. and all
that remains to be done is to lay
the proposals before a full meeting
of Dali Eireann.
This. a report from Dublin today
said. probably will be done some-
time this week or early next
36 Members Await Release.
1t has been definitely declared
that there will be no partial meet
ing of the Dali, which means that
before such a momentous gather
ing can take place the thirty-six
members now imprisoned or in
termed must be released.
Release OF these men then will
be the final signal that a crisis IN
the negotiations rs approaching.
Mr.. de Valera refuses 10 ask for
mally for their release because this.
h thinks. might be construed as
acknowledge nent OF Great Brftain's
right TO inlprisol them. but II is
an open secret here that Great
Britain is willing to waive that
point and would consider an order
by De Valera summoning TO a full
meeting the men IN jail as a re-
quest for their release.
Would Meet I'm Dublin.
II such a meeting is called n
will be held IN the Mansion House
at Dublin and the session will be
private.
In the meantime It Is reported
that Lloyd George and De Valera
have been in frequent communica-
ton on minor points the messen-
gers being trusted lieutenants who
go and come quietly without rec
oGnition.
Ulster, OF course. is still the crux
Of the problem, but much is hoped
for from Sir James Craig's visit
to London tomorrow.
The British house OF commons Is
becoming impatient over the con-
tinued secrecy IN Irish affairs.
Replying to Col Archer Shee, a
leading Tory. this afternoon, who
had asked whether. in view OF the
fact that De Valera had made the
proposals known at a secret meet
ing of Dali Eireann. Lloyd George
could not do the same at a secret
session of commons. Austen Cham
berlain said merely that the pre-
mier hoped to make a statement
before the end Of the session.

mined not TO permit Silesia TO be-

Of the pIebiscite and will demand
immediate transfer TO Germany Of

Great Britain insists that the

transferred to the debated territory,

hcIent in their present numbers TO
cope with any duties that may
befal them.

France will insist on the imme-

cIates France must advance
stronger reasons for so doing than
have been put forward so far be-
fore Great Britain will assent Ac-

TO participate in the meeting,
France expecting Belgiums sup

RHINE WAR CLOUD
MENACE TOPEACE,
SAYS LORD BRYCE
Declares Versailles Pact
Fails to Satisfy Ma
tiOns.

WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass. Aug. 2,
There is no bIacker cloud preg-
nant with future storm hanging
over Europe now than that which
darkens the banks of the Rhine"
Thus spoke Niscount James
Bryce today in his second lecture
before the Institute of Politics.
He declared the work OF the men
who framed the Versailles treaty
had received in Europe nothing
but censure," and continued:
There is not one of the treaties
of 1890 which is not now already
admitted to need amendment. while
some are seen to lead straight to
future wars. One hears people say,
The sort OF peace that these ne
gotiators have given us is as bad
as was the war.
Says Men Failed.
Popular prejudices. popular pas
sions and cupidities, had to be hon.
task was of unprecedented diff
Guilty. New states had to be
created, territories redistributed.
indemnities secured, and all on a
scale comparatively greater than
any international congress ever be-
fore had attempted. A task SO
great needed not politicians of the
usual type, but supermen. Such
men did not appear"
In melancholy, rather than bitter,
manner Lord Bryce said in regard
to France and Germany:
Dissatisfaction has been freely
expressed in France that the treaty
of Versailles did not detach from
Germany and assign to France, all
the German-speaking lands west of
the Rhine. 1t is argued their pos
session would have secured great
strategical advantages and indus
trial benefits.
Hatred Is Mutual.
But it may be doubtful whether
France would not have suffered
more politically than she could have
gained materially by an error which
Germany committed when she an
nexed Alsace and Lorraine in 1871,
for the population of the territory
taken would have been disaffected
and no German would have ceased
to plan and work for the recovery
CT German lands.
Some have argued that as
France desired to keep Germany
weak lest she should again become
formidable. it might have been a
more promising policy to dismem
ber Germany in the hope that
the dismemberment would revive
the old particularistic spirit among
the German populations and thus
keep the southern states, such as
Bavaria, from trying to reunite.
This war has shown one unprec-
edented feature painful in the
prospect II opens. The victors bear
as much resentment against the
vanquished as the vanquished do
against the victors."

CHASER IS FREED
ON BOOZE CHARGE

The police lost the first stage of
the fight. to fix the responsibility
for thes shipment of twenty-six bar
rels of whisky, valued at $4,000.
which was seized on February 13 in
the New Jersey avenue freight
yards, when United States Commits
sioner Isaac r. Hit yesterday
freed Isadore CHASER, automobile
supplies dealer, of 203o Georgia ave-
nue. northwest, of a charge of IL
legally possessing intoxicating liq-
uor and an additional charge of
conspiracy to ship liquor into the
District.
Glasser stated that the unjust and
unfounded charge against him had
seriously injured his business. He
denied any connection with the ship
ment of liquor, which the police
claim had been consigned to him
from, Philadelphia, Pa, concealed in
old tires in freight car.
The whisky is still in the custody
of the police and its final disposi-
tion is yet to be determined.
