WISi'S RELIEF PUN STOPPED BV ALLIES

Refuse to Permit Supplies to Go Through to Poland, Serbia or Roumahia,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—The unooippromising attitude of Euruueah countries, in "the negotiations through which the United States had hoped to extend relief work In the war zones is causing keen disappointment .among officials here. France and Great Britain again have declared in vigorous terms their unwillingness to recede from the regulations which have operated to exclude American relief supplies from Poland and Serbia. Turkey, in a note refusing to permit a neut&l commission to undertake to feed and clothe the war sufferers in Syria apparently has endeavored to forestall any further humanitarian ef forts in that field.

At the same time officials are con fronted with"a deadlock in the negotiations for permission to pass Red Cross supplies through the allied blockade lines into Germany and Austria and there have been intimations ttyat Belgium, now fed and clothed al most wholly by American charity soon might feel the weight of new restrictions dictated by the military necessities of great powers whose armies cccupy her soil.

Officials realise that as a general -principle regulations of such character

lie almost

ative of

made

pressed

entirely within the prerog

the warring states and have

their appeals on the higher

ground

of humanity. If all that the permits is to be exacted, however,

they say

nothing can be done.

Gloomy as the outlook is, officials

have

not abandoned hope that a more •^ulmane view may be eventually im

upon the belligerents.

CARSON IS AROUSED.

Calls German.* Barbarians, and Wants World to Boycott Them. PARIS. Aug. 12.—Sir Edward Carson in an interview in today's Matin declares that the Germans are barbarians, and should be treated as such. "In peace as in war," Sir Edward is quoted as saying, "the German is a barbarian and we should treat him as such. Let all the allied governments declare forthwith to the German people: 'Even when we shall have signed peace we shall not send any diplomatic representative to Berlin nor receive any diplomatic representative of Germany in our capitals, long as you Germans shall not have yourselves punished all those who have been guilty of murder, all those who have violated international laws which were set up in the interest of humanity during past centuries which have witnessed the progress of civilization.' "There is still another reason which makes such action necessary.., Neutral powers have passively looked on at the violation of customs of law established by-all nations. They have been powerless or unwilling to protest. If then a special penalty does not show clearly that these laws cannot be transgressed, that these usages cannot bt violated with. imp.unity, we must renounce in future all hope of introducing into war rules of humanity and henceforth no nation in the world would see any use in sending reprpsentatives to a Hague convention or any diplomatic conference."

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Funeral arrangements for Br. John B. Murphy, the noted surgeon, whose death occurred yesterday at Mackinac Island, will be completed today upon the arrival of. the body, accompanied \by Mrs. Murphy, shortly after noon.

Dr. i* K McArthur and Dr. James E, Keefe, who attended the surgeon, said that shortly before their patient became unconscious, he told them he, knew his true condition he had diagnosed his own case and he wanted an autopsy held to prove he was correct. He said further that his trouble originally had been caused by an affection of the, throat which later had extended to the heart.

Murphy, who was one oij the world's most renowned surgeons, died yesterday at a hotel here while on a summer outing. An attack of heart disease was the Immediate cause of death. Dr., Murphy" had been ih poor health for several months, and some had ascribed his condition to the poisoned soup partaken of at the banquet given toi Archbishop Mundelein at the University clubi of Chicago, last winter. His wife was with him at the time of death.

Dr. Murphy reached prominence in every branch of surgery, but he may be called the founder of the present system of intestinal surgery. It was the "Murphy button," a metal capsule for uniting, severed intestines, that in t"he early nineties' brought its inventor into prominence.

Of recent years, Dr. Murphy was best knbwri for his work ih joint surgery. He was a pioneer in operations for appendicitis, and was the first man to make ah artificial joint out of natural tissue. He was one of the first to transplant bone in one body or from one body to another. He was the first to excise portions of the lung.

means than arbitration is generally regarded as small.

Prior to the arrival of the mediators at the assembly hall of the brotherhoods a statement Was made in behalf of thl railroad managers that they were irrevocably firm on the principles of arbitration. The reason given was that, if they gave up the principle, the power of the railroads to deal with their employes would be bnoken and that hereafter they would be at the mercy of the four brotherhoods. "The situation has reached a stage where the question of hours and wages is secondary," said the railroads' spokesman. '""W e demand arbitration and we will fight for this principle to a finish. Rather than giving it up I will put all my rolling stock into my freight yards and close up my road."
