By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BBnutf, July ii
Germany Is willing to make further
concessions to safeguard American trnv
elers In the "war zone," tho Foreign Of
fice Informed me today. She wilt not
1 abandon her submarine policy, but she
trill consent to placing several great
German liners under the American flag
for tho remainder of the war In addition
to granting Immunity from submarine
attacks to four English liners, as pro
posed In her latest note to Washington.
1 The suggestion mado waa that tho big
Hamburg-American liners Imperator and
ICaleerln Auguste Victoria and the Korth
German Lloyd liner Oeorge Washington
(be placed at the disposal of tho Ameri
can Government for transporting neutrals
through the zona of submarine opera
tions. , "Of course, you understand this matter
would rest with tho ships' owners," said
Under Foreign Secretary Zimmerman.
"but Germany -would be willing to placd
,at aervlca of American travelers hero
'the largest liners If the American Gov
'ernment cares to suggest It. If America
.desires to place them under the Ameri
Scan flag, we shall certainly agree."
! NEUTRAL OIIBW8.
I Germany, It was Intimated at tho For
eign Office. Is willing to turn over these
interned passenger ships without finan
cial gain and with neutral crews, from
,tho captain down. The chief reason that
Americana desire to travel aboard Eng
rail liners, it was pointed out. probably
is because better accommodations can be
,aecured In the majority of cases. Should
the German liners be operated under the
American flag neutral passengers could
.travel aboard fast, luxurious ships In the
iknowledge that they -were safo from sub
marine attack. Furthermore, It was
.pointed out, the soiling schedules would
"not ba interrupted, as has been tho case
with English liners, because tho ships
were commandeered by the Government
for use as transports.
In official circles hero regret was ex
pressed today that the English transa
ction of the German reply does not exactly
"interpret tho spirit pf the German text.
The general opinion waa that the German
(original was more friendly In tone than
The translation sent to America. Under
'Secretary Zimmerman commented par
ticularly on the translation of that sen
tence which In the English version waa
.Triads to read as follows:
' "The Imperial Government cherishes
'the, deflnlto hope that some way will be
found, when peace Is concluded, or per
haps earlier, to regulate the law of marl
itlme war In a. manner guaranteeing tho
ifreedom of the seas, and will welcome It
with gratitude and satisfaction, If It can
-work hand In hand with the American
Government on that occasion."
Too Late for Lleenso Merc, Mr. Bam
berger and Mfg. Wells Go to
Wilmington.
A gftod-tooltlng oouplo asked for two
rooms at the Beltevue-Stratfsrri. Tho
clerk was eemewhat surprised, and,
glancing at the register saw that they
were Oseac Bamberger, New York city.
and Mrs Jessie D. Wells, Peeksklll, N V.
Before the clerk could revtr, the
woman asked very quietly "Can you tell
ua where we can gel married The
License Bureau Is closed ' And this
was true, as It was rather late n the
day. The clerk suggested Wilmington,
and the couple were married there a
little later by the Itev. Df, Wolfe They
obtained their license after hours through
an Influential friend.
The mother of the bride Is Mrs Stewart
rrasler, of Lansdowne, Pa., and she was
notified of the marriage by phone yester
day Mr Bamberger, who Is a New York
broker, explained that they intended to
get man-red In September, but disliking
showy church wedding, came here to
have a quiet ceremony Tho couple
started today for Long Beach where they
will spend their honeymoon.

Resolutions asking President Wilson to
forbid tho exportation of arms and am

belligerents wero prepared today by a
committee authorized to send a telegram
to tho President on behnlf of tho State
Federation of German Catholic Societies,
In session at St. Paul's Hall, 5th street

far from neutral.
The chairman of the Committee on

reotor of St. Ignatius Church. Another
resolution, which will bo acted on to
morrow, was adopted This puts tho fed
eration on record m opposed to prohibi

liberty of conscience.
John Nickel, a Pittsburgh delegate,
who was stricken with apoplexy on the
way to this city yesterday, was taken
to the Hahnemann Hospital, where ho
died this morning. Resolutions of sym
pathy with his family were adopted. Mr
Nickel lived at U23 Pcnn avenue. Pitts

United States Into the European war was
deplored by City Solicitor Michael J
Ryan In the course of an address before
the Federation at the Metropolitan Opera
House, lost night More than 3000 mem
bers attended and applauded vigorously
when speakers demanded that this coun
try Immediately placo an embargo on all
exportation or arms and munitions.
Mr. Ryan declared that the world was
tired of war and would come at last to
tho Pope to seek true neutrality and a
spirit of benevolence that would deal alike
with all nations. He declared that al
though tho society met under a German
name, every member was a real Ameri
can. Joseph Frcy, president of the Central
Vcreln of New York, indorsed the views
of, Mr. Ryan, and added, "We object to
being called German-Americans or hyphe
nated Americans. We are real lovers of
this country and don't like being regarded
as second raters But It Is no trason
because of our feeling of loyalty to our
fatherland to demand that the United
States stop sending nrearms abroad. This
Is within our rights as American citizens.
Leaders of Councils today refused to
pledge their unqualified efforts to obtain
earlv nctlon by Councils toward n start
In tho construction of the proposed Con
vention Hall, which must be constructed
within the next ten months If Philadelphia
Is to get the Republican National Conven
tion next year.
Both Senator Penrose and Conness-
man Vare, In pledging their support to
the movement to secure the convenUon
for this city, pointed out the necessity
for early action toward securing n suit
able hall. The National Commltteo would
not select Philadelphia, they said, unless
a suitable halt and a fund sufficient to
defray the expenses of the gathering are
assured.
The Chamber of Commerce directors.
who are taking hold of tho movement to
bring the convention to Philadelphia,
have consulted engineers and have learn
ed that If Councils act when that body
reconvenes In September, the proposed
new convention hall could be started In
tlmo to have the building ready for hold
ing the assembly in June.
John P. Connelly, chairman of Councils'
Finance Committee, and the Organization
leader In Common Council, absolutely
refused to pledge his support.
"I want to see tho Republican National
Convention come to Philadelphia," ho
said "It Is hard to predict what Coun
cils might do regarding tho Convention
Hall. No special meeting of Councils
has been called to consider the mat
ter now, and anything la liable to happen
berore councils meet again In September.
I would not like to say now that I would
make an effort to have Councils act on the
convention hall immediately after they
reconvene, because something might hap
pen between now and then to alter the
situation. On the other hand. I will not
say that early action will not bo token, as
circumstances may make It advisable to
take Immediate action on the matter when
Councils meet next September."
Charles P. Seger, chairman of the sub
committee on Finance, refused to discuss
the convention hall. Ho said. hnwvr
that he, like Connelly, would like to see

ENGLISH PAPER INSISTS
LONDON, July 12.
j That abandonment by the United States
tof Its demands on Germany would cause
fi. break In the friendship between Eng
jlend and America Is the declaration made
by the Evening Standard In an editorial
today. Other papers reiterate their caus
tic comment upon the German reply to
President Wilson's note, declaring It aa
"Impudent" and the concessions It offers
as "Idiotic."
. The Impression In British official circles
da that the United States will carry no
hnore diplomatic correspondence with Ger
jmany Over the submarine warfare, but
wlll stand by Its demands and break off
relations If the Germans commit any act
which the Washington Government re
gards as violating them,
i In Its editorial conveying a veiled threat
!to America the Evening Standard savs-.
"The German note la too crude even to
provoke disgust. Assurances are given
'after a, fashion, but their acceptance
iwould make America the vassal of Oer
many and politically her accomplice In
pnurder,
"President Wlison. having first 'de
manded security for Americans as their
legal right, cannot accept It as concession
from tho Germans in partial mitigation,
jwlthout eating- his own words. Should
America now abandon her legal stand
point the cordiality of Anglo-American
delations would be cpmpromlsed for a
ieentury."
j The Fall Mall Gazette says:
. "The note Is the most Impudent docu
ment ever forwarded by one great Power
to another If the argument Is imminent
and unconvincing the German offer can
Jonly be described as Idiotic. Germany
liow makes plain her Intention of sinking
.all vessels save those to which she offers
afe conduct"
The Westminister Gazette says:
1 "To the German people the nola Is
X triumphant vindication of the subma
rine commander. There Is no argument
possible with a Government which enters
this plea, or with a people which en
thusiastically supports It. It Is all a
piece of the outrages in France and Bel
gium "
; The Globe says: "The note means that
j&aterlca must become an accessory be
jfflre the fact In Germany's crimes, or
Americana will continue to be murdered
by CUrman agents. No sophistry can dts
julse the Impudence of this demand "
The Btar says- "The German reply
Stands high In all reeords aa a ovnieai
piece of effrontery. Americans are doubt
less aware that If one gives way to a
blacamalter one, one will have to sub
wit many time. President Wilson. we
ffo nvt doubt, will take ueh aetlon as the
interests and dignity of America demand."

LONDON", July 12.The squabble be
tween Lord Maldane and David Lloyd
George, the Minister of Munitions, found
its way into Parliament today. Premier
Asquith was Interpolated in the House
of Commons as to whether he agreed
with Mr. Lloyd-George's criticism of
Lord Haldane, but the Premier refused
to make any statement.
The British political situation has de
veloped Into a scandal as a result of the
Intrigues both In and out of the Gov
ernment. It Is charged by some of tho
newspapers that Lord Northcllffe la
working for the downfall of Lord Kitch
ener, the Secretary of State for War and
Foreign Minister Grey.
Lord Haldane's political enemies are
criticising him for his well-known admir
ation for the Germans before the war be
gan. It was this criticism that led to
Lord Haldane's retirement from the post
of Lord High Chancellor In the Cabinet
recenuy.
MEXICO CITT, July 12. Corronza

capital today. While the largest part of
the victorious army Is pursuing the
Zapata forces, now In full retreat, and

Arbitrators in $50,000
Slander Suit Hear Argu
ments in Private Coun
sel in Sharp Controversy
Over Methods.
WILKES-BARRE, Fa., July 11 Arbi
trators In the J50.000 slander suit of Coun
cilman W. J. Cullen, of Hazteton. against
Evangelist Henry W. Stough, decided to
shut the doors to the public, when argu
ment warf heard today In the private
chambers of Judge P. A, O'Boyle. There
was room only for tho Interested parties
of tho suit
Paul J, Sherwood, one of Stough's law
jcrs, announced that he waa opposed to
-star chamber" sessions ana saia no
would not make his argument In private.
He left tho room, but came back and sold
he was witting to go on.
Sherwood declared there was no cause
for action, because the plaintiff's state
ment and all the evidence showed tho
slander to have been a privileged com
munication, uttered In good falUj by one
Interested for the welfare of society, nnd
hence was not actionable. Thero could
be no dander where nn attack Is made
In good faith, ho said, and he quoted
decisions from Justice Paxon, that where
criticism is made on proper occasion and
with a proper notlco thcro Is no causo
for action. Ho also quoted State decisions
to show that a communication may bo
delivered for tho welfaro of society.
Probablo cause was shown, Mr, Sherwood
asserted when Doctor Stough received
word from Mayor Harvey that Cullen and
tho other plaintiffs In tho slander suits
wero responsible for vlco conditions in
Hazlcton. Ho said Doctor Stough had
mado Investigations and, from reports, ho
had ground for probable cause.
Mr. Sherwood referred to Luzerne
County as tho third black political spot
In tho State. First honors wore glvon
Philadelphia County and second place to
Allegheny County.
Shcrwocd attacked District Attorney
John H. Blgelow, and alleged that as a
county ofllclal he permitted liquor Inter
ests to violate tho law. This statement
created a tilt among counsel, but soon
passed over.
Jamca Scarlet, of Danville, also of
counsel for Stough, said the statements
on which tho suit was based did not snow
slander per so and held that there can
be no award of damages. Scarlet said
In the great uplift movement In the na
tion, In tho pulpit, tn the press, from tho
rcstrum, and In private, the "invisible
government" controlled by politicians Is
always open to attack and asserts that
where there Is suspicion there Is also
probable cause.
District Attorney Blgelow pointed out
as slander certain words spoken from the
pulpit of the Hazleton tabernacle Hold
ing the four plaintiffs responsible for
disorderly houses, he said, was a suf
ficient cause for an action for slander.
Blgelow bitterly attacked the evangelist
and charged that he had hidden behind
a poor memory. He described Stough
as a preacher looking for reward, who
"worships the god of gold and who cares
not uhom he harms so long as the golden
stream pours In "
After Blgelow finished counsel on each
sldo submitted briefs to tho arbitrators.
Tho board has seven days In which to
ftle an award, after they have agreed, but
they have unlimited time In which to de
liberate on testimony and the arguments.

candidate for Mayor who will be assured
of the united support of all elements In

any friction In tho Republican machine.
"When the time comes to name a candi
date for Mayor, there will be no factional
