GREEK WAR PARTY FIRM
LONDON. Aug. 23,
The Haitian situation reachea the acute
Mag tods.'. Servla U expected to make
known, possibly before night, whether she
will cede Macedonia to Bulgaria. M,
Venltelos It to be sworn In at Athena aa
the new Greek Premier, and It la believed
M Foreign Mlnlater ,he will make, a def-
atte aiatfment or, me courae ureece in-
wnaaj to puue.
No 'hint hat come from Nlah aa to the
eeut-M of the Servian Government. Ber
Ian diplomat! here characterized the
Bulgarian demands na exorbitant, but Im
portant Influencca are known to have
! been at work at tne Herb capital during
the laat week. It la believed possible,
however, that ltaly'a declaration of war
nawer.
Bulgaria haa made ro fresh move to
' Indicate whether ahe Intenda to Join (he
Allies. Her military preparations are al
most complete and aho la awaiting Ser
, Yla'a aoawer. from varloua sources the
' newa baa reached London that neither
Turkey nor her Auatro-German alllea aro
' quite ao confident of keeping Bulgaria
neutral aa they were a fortnight ago,
though Italian reporta that the Bulgare
were massing troopa on the Turkish fron
tier have received little credence here.
Lntll Servla and Bulgaria maKe ineir
decisions no change la expected at Athena
r Bucharest. Diplomatic clrclea here
express the conviction that the new Greek
Cabinet will favor maintenance of
Ex Oreece'a neutrality until new develop
ment in the Hainan situation mane 11
appear certain Greece will gain by en-
' ferine" 'the -war.
DMpatohes from sources not always re
liable reported today that Rumania had
been selxed by the war fever. ltaly'a
war declaration against Turkey waa aald
to have aroused wild enthusiasm at Bu
' charett. Rumors that Germany had
threatened force unlets Rumania permit
ted the passage of ammunition to Tur
key were also said to have fanned the
war flame In the Rumanian capital.
That the Turkish munitions situation Is
becoming more eertous from the Turkish
standpoint, particularly since the Alllea
have landed more troops at. the Dardanel
les, -Is believed here, and It Is thought
possible that the Austro-Germana are at
tempting to coerce Rumania. But dlplo
. mata here, take no stock In reporta that
Rumania's alleged friendliness for Italy
will cause Rumania to Join In the war on
I Turkey. They pointed out that Rumania
P failed to enter the war when Italy de-
r- eureii.agamsi Austria, inougn, it was gen
erally .peuevea at me lime mat me two

Continued from I'age One
Moltke aud ten other Teutijn warships In
the Gulf of Riga was taken by the popu
lace aa a Divine answer to their prayers
for victory, offered up In great religious
demonstrations one week ago. With this
news came word from the War Ofllce that
. von Hlndtnburg'a attempt to turn the
Russian right flank haa met with stubborn
resistance that haa, brought the Germans
to a halt.
The newspapers headed reports of the
Ruralan naval victory with lines auch aa
"A Great German Rout," and demanded
to know If German newspapers would
continue their talk of a separate peace
' wth Russia. They printed prominently
' the statements of Foreign Minister Sax-
anoff to Petrograd newspaper publishers
yesterday with reference to peoccumors.
"These rumors of a separate peace are
due to repeated enemy overtures to
Franco and Russia," said the Foreign
Minister. "These have been totally ie-
Jected.
"The enemy's attempta to sow discord
among the Allies Is predestined to com
plete failure. The ties binding the Allies
are only strengthened thereby and their
confidence in the ultimate uttalnment of
their common, ends .la-.unwavering."

group, but the members of this group,
It was generally agreed, could hardly, by
the greatest stretch of the Imagination,
be accepted as possibilities In (he role of

The official records at the White House
show that If such a "conversation" oc
curred between the mysterious M. P. and
the President If It ever occurred as de
scribed must have taken place between
July 19 and July 13. The President re
turned to Washington from Cornish, N.
H., on July 19 and left the capital for
his summer home In New Hampshire
four days later.
On -those days the President saw these
persons:
July 19--Secretary Lansing, H. H. Clark,
of Los Angeles.
July ID Senator Bankhead, of Alabama;
Representative Trlbble, of Georgia, and
the members of the Cabinet.

PALMER DENIES GIVING
AID TO GERMAN CAUSE
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer In
a statement made last night flatly de
nied - that he had discussed with the
President any of the matters quoted In
John Simon's "conversation."
Mr. Palmer said "the whole thing looks
to me like a cock and hull yarn. 1
have heard about this thing before, and
the matter contained In the Slmor) con
versation, therefore, does' not surprise
me.
"So far as I am concerned I never
have had any connection with (he Ger
man Government In any way, nor with
Its agents, so far as I know. I do not
know the man who la named as John

the high seas and the cotton situation
aa a particular detail of the latter con
troversy. NO NEW VIEWS DIVULGED.
The things the Chief Executive was
represented to have aald to "M. P.'," pre
sumably, as Implied by the New York
World, for transmission to German
"higher-ups." did not. In essentials, re
veal any views the Administration was
not generally known to have held.
That such statements should have beert
made to "M. P." assuming him to have
been acting In any sense for the Ger
man Government was a different matter,
however.
The statement that the President wouT3
"bind hlnuelf" to carry his British pro
test to the "uttermost" if the Lusltama
case were adjusted satisfactorily with
Germany was also deemed a most sur
prising form of expression.
"LEAK" FROM INSIDE.
The same view was taken of the state
ment that the President "Indicated his
willingness to discuss the note to Ger
manythe note sent July a with "M. P.'
and 'eventually to no Influence ft tbat
there will be: an agreement for Its .re
ceptlon,' " and "also to be ready to In
fluence the press 'through a wink.' "
A statement from the White House con
cerning the World story was considered
n reasonable ptobnblllty.
It was pointed out that President Wil
son has confined appointments to his
most trusted advisers since the German
situation became acute, except where cer-
I tain persona have .been received to tender
invitations and tire like. The lattor have
had no opportunity for general conversa
tion. Therefore, If the allegations be
true, the "leak" must have been from an
irue, me "leax" must nave been from an
unusually confidential Administration
source.

portation means would lighten the trans

That you nre in a position to
delay the delivery of the order to the
prejudice of the hostile country ordering
them will In no measure relieve you from
lability.
The World already -has revealed .In a
aeries of articles based upon the moat in
teresting features of correspondence be
tween the active promoters of the Ger
man propaganda:
That they financed nnd subsidized pub
lications licensed by the lawa of the
United States as American publications.
WORKED SECRETLY IS CHARGED
That these German officials and agents
secretly wprked to fabricate sentiment
In this country through. 'the prcas, lecture
platforms, moving pictures and the or
ganization of so-called "Peace Societies"
favorable to Its cause.
"That German officials and their agents
had a hand In the promotion of strikes
In munition and other Industrial plants
In the United States.
"That while protesting against the
hlpmcnt of arms to the allied govern
ments with which It Is. at war Germany
was planning nnd financing plants to
manufacture arms and .secure supplies of
the same character for Its own use.
That while promoting ' a nation-wide
agitation among the citizens of the United
States designed to permit the Importa
tion of Gerrnan wares into America the
German Government was actually con
spiring to withhold such ahlpmenta In
order to Intensify the feeling In this coun
try against the British blockade of Ger
man ports.
Wilson on July 22, In fact, I probably
did see him about that time. I certainly
did not discuss with him anything re
motcly resembling the Impression related
In the Simon-Levy report.
"I do not believe that Simon or Levy
or whoever made this report Intended to
refer to me. The whole thing, so far aa
I am concerned, at least, Is unworthy of
serious consideration."
"Doesn't It resemble. In a general way.

waa asked.
"Yes, )n some respects It la like the

HANOVER, pa,,. An M Hanover is
bending to the task today of removing
the debris left in the wake of the cyclonic
storm which swept across the town late
Saturday night. The damage Is esti
mated at more than $500,000.
Linemen were rushed here yesterday
to straighten telephone poles and tie the
wires so as to put the town In communi
cation with tho .oujslde," world. ;
Tho windstorm Saturday night' was
preceded, by a downpour of rain. This
drove many of the shoppers' to shelter
and proved to be providential, for the
bricks and timbers were hurled In every
direction.
The storm raged for only a brief period
and covered an area of about 400 square
yards. '
Private residences were unroofed and
churches, public 'buildings, stores nnd
manufacturing plants were wrecked.
Telephone lines and trolley wires were
torn Mowli Telephone, poles' were snnppd
and man" bautlful 'ornamental shade
trees, ' (he pride of . tfie town, were up
rooted. 'The borough, which was being
primed, f or a centennial celebration In
the early part of September. Waa; made
to look like'1 a Western prairie after 'a
storm. '
The worst damage probably was done
to the Hanover Glovo Factory, owned
and operated by George D. Gift. The
large three-story brjck building Is a
complete wreck. The second story was
entirely blown oft and the structure
wrecked so that It will have to be re
built. ..Jtfony of the. bricks and timbers
were carried for squares. The Ipsa may
reach J10.000.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.
Tho United" States Government tin
waited today for an explanation of all
of tho circumstances surrounding tn
sinking of the White Star liner Arabic
off Queentown by a German submarine,
with a loss, of two American lives. The
inrormation so far available was de.
scribed by Secretary of State Lansing .
"Involved." He stated that the exaet
cause the Information so far furnished
by Ambassador Page was fragmentary
nu nouung nrnnuo or certain has Trt m
been established." ' l
THE SITUATION.
From Administration sources It ..
established that the situation as far as
Germany and the Arabic's sinking is con
cerned Is rs follows:
One. United States Government at the
time the Lusltnnla was sunk decided on
a course of action to be followed should
German submnrlnea subsequently create
a similar situation. If the final but'eome
of the present Investigation shows that
the sinking of the Arabic was such a "de
liberately unfriendly act," then the Ad
ministration will launch that program,
the first step of which Is the breaking off
of friendly diplomatic and commercial
relations.
Two. Such" drastic action will bo taken
only when the evidence shall have estab
lished beyond the slightest question that
America's Inalienable rights have been
violated through the sinking of ho
Arabic.
Three. Thf evidence must bo conclusive
from American and not from British
sources, nnd the report of the German
submarlno commander who sank the
AVhlte Star liner must "Jibe" with the
evldenco that Is amassed by Ambassador
I'age ni ivonoon. j
Four. That until nil of the evidence Is at '. 1
hand and has been "digested" the re
sponsible officials of this Government will
maintain nn "open mind policy" on the
entire event. j :
There was no attempt to disguise "the
fact that all of the Information so far
received Indicated that the slnklnc of th "
Arabic was flagrant violation of the
rights of noncombatnnts on board. And, slVt'.
ii uiai is mo nnai decision Dy mis Gov- not'
ernmt ntehen Germany will bo given a
oner opportunity io disavow the act be- "
fore any further steps nre taken. .W
BRITISH SIDE RECEIVED. o"I
The State Department has received the'!'
statement of the British Admlrnlty cov-'hu
enng us Knowledge or the sinking. These Sn.
statements wCro volunteered to Am
bassador Page, Secretary Lanslnz was'L
careful, to explain today, and will be1''
considered only Incidentally. The reason "
that thete has been delay, the Secretary 1?1
said, In getting all of the Information
here, was that the passengers on the S
Arabic left Oueenstown nttnnst Immcrff.

FLOATING MINE HINTE0
AT AS THE CAUSE
Continued from Page One
nnd London and passed through the hands
of the British censor.
Count Reventlow today broke the edi
torial silence regarding the sinking of the
Arobtp. His article emphasized that It
has not yet been proved that the Arabic
was sunk by a German submarine, but
commented on tho report that the Jlner's
captain furnished life belts to the pas
sengers and crew, Possibly this was
done, he suggested, because the Arabic's
captain planned to ram tho submarine.
"Should It be proved that tho subma
rlno destroyed the Arabic and that
Americans were drowned," wrote Count
Reventlow, "we see only a new proof pf
the rightfulness of the position taken by
Germany, who has repeatedly warned
neutrals embarking on ships passing
through the war zone. It shows also the
disregard of these warnings by the
united Statea after having tried through
threats to force Germany to give up- her
aubmorlne war on commerce.
"This, we bellove. Is the undivided at
tltudcj and Judgment of the German peo
Pie If It Is established that a submarine
sank the Arabic."
The continued German victories against
the Russians absorb the attention of the
German press. Dispatches regarding the
Arabjo sinking are printed, on the Inside
pages,tnlthough they contain speculation
of English correspondents that a break
between the United States and Germany
Is probable.
