That Secret Document

Washington, June 11.-UP).-N one government can be held direct ly responsible for the World war, secret document prepared by order was the conclusion expressed in the of the senate and hidden away in the Library of congress
 Significant excerpts from this re- port, prepared in 1925-26 by Dr. C. C. Tansill. noted historian, have been made available to the United Press Access to the document itself has been denied by Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of congres, but Tansilrs three-page introduction summarizes his views. He has copy of this introduction, and from this the United Press was able to glean the gist of the report.
 ''Nationalism, imperialism and militarism," were given as the under lying causes of the war. After dis cussing the development of these three forces in Europe prior to the war. Tansill said.
 Tt seems futile, therefore, to at tempt to assess the war guilt of the respective nations of Europe. Such attempts would be purely specula- tive, and would possess no definite value. In recent discussions of this question, many publicists have aban- doned the idea that any particular nation is wholly responsible for the catastrophe of 1914"
 Tansill also argued against the theory that the armed balance of power prior to the war was respon- sible for it's inception
 Discovery of the documents eX- istence has aroused great interest here, particularly at the German em- bassy, where it was looked upon as substantiation of the German po- sition that separations payments are unwarranted

UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN
 AND GERMANY
Three=COrnered Conference on War Debts and Repa= ratiOns = Secret Docu= ment Still ExCites Them
BY FRERERICK KUH limited Press Staff Correspondent

Berlin, June 11.-(UP) A three cornered conference on war debts and separations among the United States, Great Britain and Germany during the forthcoming visit of Sec retary of State Henry l.. Stimson was anticipated in government quarters to-day.
 Arthur Henderson, British foreign secertary, will arrive in Berlin about the same time that Colonel Stimson reaches the German capital, it was learned.
 The presence here of both Tender son and Stimson at the same time, it was indicated, almost inevitably will lead to a consultation among these statesmen and the government lead CTS concerning reparations and war debts.
 The German officials hope that the presence of Henderson will help to impress upon Colonel Stimson the urgency of decisive action. It further was indicated that German diplomats would be instructed to make con- tacts with Secretary of Treasury An drew Mellon, who is reported plan- ming to come to Europe soon.
 The government meanwhile in tends to postpone the declaration oi moratorium until after Colonel Stimson's visit. Stimson is expected in Berlin the week of July 21 to 28 The postponement of the morato- rum, however, will not defect the governments plan to pursue it's real goal. namely, three-year repara- tions holiday.

New York, June Il = (UP) = Trading turned extremely dull on the Stock Exchange today as prices moved uncertainty over a narrow arc. Dealings continued almost en- tirely professional.
 Prices were irregular, the leaders showing minus signs ranging up to a point or so. Utilities were mixed with the majority fractions to a point lower. Rails were unsettled by adverse dividend action by Southern Railway.
 At the end of the fourth hour Steel Common was down to 89 5-8 of 1 5-S; McKeesport Tin Plate S4 off l.; Westinghouse Electric GA 3-4 off 1 IA; Consolidated Gas 92 off Il; Pere Marquette 28 off, 2; and South erh Railway 30 off 2.
 News directly affecting the stock market was as scarce as the market was inactive. several companies changed dividends in addition to Southern Railway. Real Silk Hosi- cry omitted the preferred payment and rescinded stock dividends al- ready declared on common. Warren Brothers placed the stock on a $2 basis against $3 previously paid. Last night Fox reduced from $4 to $2.50. Truscon Steel and Devoe and Ray holds each cut from $1.20 to 60 cents annually.
 Bradstreet's weekly food price in dex to-day was down to $2.14 a drop |of 22.5 per cent from last year and the lowest figure on record since |1916.
