; ' Interfere, and it made use of that right

"preening- the button." and the Rrltish
denials of these German endeavors are
. an afterthought and contrary to all evi
dence and willfully untrue. Germany
maintained. Austria-Hungary's position to

did not know the terms of the note of

what Ms English countrymen would My
to this. But Germany urged moderation
I - unto Austria-Hungary to a point that the
German chancellor had to confess "he was
, . afraid that hla language waa not any
more palatahlo at the Uallplals" (mean
ing the Austrian foreign office), and I
am glad to publish here now for the first

. patches sent from the Berlin foreign of
flee to the Auatru-IIunsarian ally; the
dispatch la quoted from the London West
minster Gaaette of August 1, In the book,
"TI10 Plpiomattc History of the War,' by
M. V. Price, M, A., an English professor,
a professor not only of science, but of
. truth. It. reads as follows:
i "BERLIN, July 30. 1114. To the German
, Ambassador tn Vienna: The report of
Count Pourtalea does not harmonise with
1 the account which your excellency has
given of the attitude of the' Austro-IIungarlan
government.
"Apparently there la a misunderstand
ing, which I beg you to clear Up.
"We ran not expect Austria-Hungary to
negotiate with Bervia, with which it la in
a state of war. '
"The refusal, however, to exchange
views with Ft. Petersburg woud be a
grave mistake.
"We are indeed ready to fulfill our duty.
"As an ally we must, however, refuse
to be drawn Into a worldT'eonflagratlon
through Austria-Hungary not rejecting
our advice.
"Your exeellenoy will txpiees til's t
Count Berchtold with all emphasis and
great seriousness.
"RETi I M A N N-IIOLLW KO. '
When the'Brltlsh foreign office waa yet
in a mora balanced mind, it repeatedly
asknowlsdgad the good services that Ger
many had rendered In order to exhort
Austria-Hungary to moderation, but rlm-e
in consequence of a number of misfor
tunes, the very well known English char
acteristic, that they are very poor sports
and very bad losers, has taken hold of
their mind, they constantly tried to per
vert the public opinion.
Blr Edward Grey fully Joined the Ocr
man viewpoint, and he told the French
ambassador (see Knaiend's White Paper
No. 87) on July : "In the present case
the dispute between Austria and Horvla
waa not one In which we felt called to
take a hand. Even If the queatlon became
one between Austria and Russia we
should not feel called upon to take a
hand In It. It would then be a question
of the supremacy of Teuton or Slav a
atruggle for supremacy in the Ualkana;
and our Idea had always been' to avoid
telng drawn Into war Viet a Balkan
question."
Tbla Is exactly Gunnaoy's viewpoint
and it Is Impossible for Kir Edward Gtvy
to take exception to this, or for Mr. 'Car
negie cither.

made known beforehand (see England's
"rt hlto Paper No. !).
"Mr. Busonof Informed the French am
bassador and myself (British ambassa
dor) this morning of his conversation
with the Austrian ambassador. He went
on to say that during the Balkan crista
(that la 1811) he had made It clear to the
Austrian government that war with Rus
sia must Inevitably follow an Austrian
stuck on Bervia. It was clear that Aus
trian domination of Servia waa as Intol
erable for Russia as the dependence of
the Netherlands oil Germany would be to.
Great Britain. It wai in fact, tor Rus-
sla a question of life and death." '
By the way, here la an Interesting In-
terpretatlon from the Russian source why
England la, fighting for Belgium.
If It was a matter of life and death that
Borvla should not' be punished by any
military measure for what It had dope,
then the proposal of The Hague tribunal
waa certainly a farce. Two of the mem
bers, France 'and England, were the
aworn allies of Russia', and the third,
Italy, whs then as uncertain a factor in
the situation as it Is now, unable to
budge In favor of Germany and Austria
Hungary because of its long roast line
being under the British and French gunst
gars t'oafrremee. Weald Hare Aided
Preirllo for Wee.
That such a tribunal, which In America
la called a "packed Jury," would not have
agreed In the end, and that It would only
have given to Germany's enemies the pos
sibility to more thoroughly prepare for
war, stood to reason. And that la why
Germany always preferred a settlement
by direct communication between Austria,
and Russia. The German emperor has
repeatedly wired to that effect, and so
baa the German chancellor, as stated in
the telegraphic dispatch 'of Hlr M. de
Bunsen to Blr Edward Grey front Vienna,
July 30, given in England's White Paper
No. 1M. from which 1 quote!
"The French ambassador hears from
Berlin that tho German antbassudor at
Vienna is hitrurf"l to speak horluuvly
to the Auttro-HungarlRn government
against ai ling In a manner calculated o
provoke a European war."
But then it Is claimed that at a certain
moment Austria-Hungary did accept the
proposal of a conference. As proof is
adduced the English While Paper No. 1U,
August I:
"LONtHJN (Foreign Office). August 1.

Austria, In which rase Auatrlu would! ,le that no feeling of gratitude

mobilisation" 1
It will be "seeu .lu the first place that
this newa of an acceptance of media
tion came from no responsible suuroe. It
was simply "hearsay." It demanded fur
ther that the Austrian action should go
on, and this was rejected by the White
Paper No. US. wherein Mr. fcasonof said
that-an attack on Bervia' would lead to
war with Russia.
Ho I maintain that Mr. Carnegie Is com
pletely mistaken as to the German share

as a matter of Tact, Rumla. for more
than eighty years, has been arming to
break through to Constantinople. Eng
land aid so In order to break German
prosperity and German trade. It Is Just
as useless, as also perfectly unwise, to
aaddle the responsibility on any one na
tion, especially on Germany,
unwise because we naturally cannot
take much stock In Mr. Carnegle'a pro
posals: they have all the tendency of un
duly favoring the allies' cause. Thie Is
ef course excusable in a man who has
been born and now Uvea a lartre n.e nr
the year tn BcoUand, but it does not serve
to the peace of the world. I regret that
Mr. Carnegie Is making himself more and
more unfit for the noble task that he has
et himself. Impartiality and neutrality
are the primary requirements for a medl
ator. No statement that Mr. Carnegie makes
to further his Ideaa Is without some
thruate against Germany, whereby he
makes himself, contrary to the president s
policy, and perhaps quite unconsciously
to himself, an English agent, The same
holds good tn regard to Mr. Carnegie's
denouncement of Oermany breaking Bel
gium's neutrality and thereby committing
a very criminal act Matters of life and
oeatn wiu never be Bottled by arbitra
tion. No man of honor will arbitrate
with a man who haa broken up his home,
kicked his father or betrayed his daugh
ter, and no award that any arbitration
eourt could give could be satisfactory to
the feeling of the person violated. And
this also applies to every sound minded
and manly feeling people, and there Is no
Jury In the United States that would not
acquit of the charge of murder a man
who has acted In defense of his house
ia any of the casea mentioned.

alum Treaty Violation.
Now It Is the question whether this was
a matter of life and death, and I am
again fortunate to be able to bring to
the knowledge of the public for the first
time the utterances from the British for
eign office that somehow or other never
has been able to find ita way Into the
American papers. It ia contained In the
English White Paper (edited September
W. 1M4), article vt of the prefare. of
which I quote the following statement:
"Germany's poeltlon must be under
stood. It had fulfilled Its treaty obliga
tions In the past; Its action now was not
wanton. Belgium was of supreme military
Importance in a war with France; If such
a mar occurred. It would be one of life
and death', Germany feared that, if it
did not occupy Belgium, France mltfht
do so."
This official Billish utterance tells all
of Mr. Carnegie's contentious to the
ground.
I An tot duubt the periect sincerity of
Mr. Carnegie. He has a well deserved
reputation as a wellwtsher to mankind

BITTER FIGHT ON
FLOOR OF SENATE
(Continued from Page One.)
the floor early tonight apparently much
refreshed and ready for another long
distance argument should his services
prove necessary.
Throughout the long day seeslon and
ns night, fell again, the situation waa
tense. Many of the senators slept In
their seats after the long watches through
last night; others stretched on the solas
circling the senate chamber, - others
formed team relays, offensive and de
fensive to crowd the measure to a vote,
or to head It back. There was little sharp
parliamentary fencing. In the main it
was steady speech-making, with here and
there a flash of wit or bitterness.
Senator Lodge again gave warning that
the buying of belligerent ships would
precipitate grave international complica
tions with Great Britain, France and Rus
sia, and would "Start this nation on the
highway of war."
Kern Glre Notice.
During the day it was tho expectation
on both sides of the chamber that the
contest would be carried through the
night and into Sunday. But at 4 o'clock
Senator Kent, leader of the administra
tion forces, gave notice that the' battle
would be suspended until Monday.
At the er.me time there came the an
nouncement from the democrat confer
ence rooms that the bill would be kept
before the senate continuously all next
week without adpoumment or recess
until the measure was passed thus re
suming the endurance test after the truce
of tonight.
