HAT GERHAHT IS MILITARY AGENT Rumors That u. S. State Department Had Been Tricked Into Issuing Safe Conduct to Officer Are Denied. DENY HE ATTEMPTED TO BUY DISCARDED RIFLES Scc'y of War Garrison Says No Efforts Have Been Made by German Representative to Purchase Old Kragi. WASHINGTON'. Juno 15.. The report that Meyer Gerhart. said to be a special envoy of Count vo i Bcrnstorff, the (!trm;m ambassador, to af(jijaint the kaiser with the true American attitude toward Germany, really is a high official of the German military staff and that the state department was tricked into obtaining safe conduct for him, was not credited generally In high otlicial circles today. It was pointed out that Germany had no need for eleventh hour investigation ly her high oilicials as to the state of military preparedness of this country. Lvery military officer in Lurope, It was stated, is familiar with all the essential facts as to military preparedness of every other nation. The sr. "cost ion that Germany had neglected t obtain such information was received with amusement by officials. Seo'y of War Garrison denied t hall e had ever hacl any correspondence, director or indirect, or any meeting with a Ir. Meyer or a Meyer Gerhard, or a Gerhard, win the reports stated sought to buy u.aO.oo discarded Krap-Jorgenscn rifles from the war department. Ganion Denies Humors. "I know nothing whatever about this story that a Dr. Meyer or Meyer Gerhart or n Gerhard was tryin.tr to buy these rifles on behalf of the German government," said Sec'y Garrison. "1 never heard of the man. except through the newspapers. At the outV l eak of the European war, I realized that if we sold any of these discarded rifle? and any of them jrot into the hand of any of the belligerents we would he unable to convince any n ation that the sale was innocent on our part. "Accordingly. I issued nn order withdrawing all of these rifles from sale during the period of the war. This order did not appear to be taken at face value, by some of the brokers. 1 suppose 5 0 of them have approached us at different times since that date. suggesting tha rifles wore wantd at this, thr.t or the other place outside of the zone of the Kuropean war. As is seemed impossible to convince the brokers that we meant what we said- I had to quit selling them at all." Had No "Safe- Conilmt" Ihr. Meyer Gerhart. the special envoy from the German embassy in Washington to the German foreign office in Berlin, did not receive a rcgular safe conduct frm the British rind French embassies. Instead he carried with him a letter of identification s:pncd bv Sec'y of State Bryan, accrdini: to official announcement at the state department today. The impression of department officials nits that the Finish and French embassies in Washington certified t the signature of Sec'y F.ryan. This letter served all the purposes of an official safe conduct while it relieved the two ambassadors of the responsibility of having issued the document. The letter was issued at the oral request of the Herman p. nd the certification bv ambassador the Fnm-h Tii;d British ambassadors alstf was an oral arrangement. At no time was the identity of Or.

WAR INTERNATIONAL NUISANCE. SAYS BRYAN; WOULD CHANGE RULES

WASHINGTON, June 1G. War is an international nuisance, William Jennings Fryan today declared in the first installment of his views on "the causeless war and its lesons for us." His statement today was headed "the war as it is and its injury to neutrals." It follow?: "I shall tomorrow discuss the origin of the war ahd the reasons which led the nations of Lurope to march as if blindfolded into the eontliet which now rests like a pall over the fairest parts of the old world: today let us consider the war as it is an l the injury it is doing to the neutral nations. "The war is without a precedent in the population represented, in the number of combatants in the field, in daily experiences, in the effectiveness of the implements employed, in the lists of dead and wounded, in tho widespread sulierinp. caused and in the intensity of the hatred aroused. "No class or condition is exempt from the burdens which this war imposes; the rich bear excessive taxation and the poor are sorely oppressed: the resources of today are devoured and the products of the war mortgaged. No age is immune; the first draft was upon the strong and vigorous, but the governments are already calling for those above and below the ordinary enlistment zone. Women Suffer as Well a. Men. "The -war's afflictions are visited upon women as well as upon men upon wives who await in vain a husband's return and upon mothers who must surrender up the sons whose support is the natural reliance of declining year:. Even children are its victims, children innocent of wrong and incapable of doing harm. By war's dread deciee. babes come into the world fatherless at their birth while the bodies of their sires arc burned like worthless stubble in the fields over which the prim reaper has passed. "The most extreme illustrations collected from history to prove the loathsomeness of war are overshadowed by new indictments written daily, the most distressing pictures drawn by the imagination are surpassed by the realities of this inde--Tibible contest. "Surely we behold 'the pestilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday.' "Neutral nations cannot look on with indifference the ties that bind them together are too strong, the relationship too intimate. This is especially true of the United States. We have a composite population every nation of Hurop having contributed liberally to our citizenship. "These, our countrymen. themselves born abroad or immediately descended from foreign born ancestors, cannot but take a likelv interest in RUSSIAN ARMIES TEUTOi A Smashing Assaults by Forces of von Mackenzen Lasting Three Days Compel Czar's Men to Retire. rKTiinoiIAD.

GREEK ARMY HAS ENTERED MANIA.

IS ROME REPOR Action Regarded as Forecast That Nation May Join in the Great War Probe Cunard Responsibility. ROME. June 16. A Greek army has invaded Albania, according to advices received today from Avalona. Greck troops commanded, by Col. Zontos. a cousin of. M. Venizelos. former premier of Greeco, has occupied territory in Albania, half -way between Herat and Elbassan. The foregoing item is regarded as highly significant in view of the recent political victory of the "war party," in the Greek elections. It might possibly be regarded as the forerunner of the formal entry of Greece into the "war. LOXnOX, June 1C. The extent of responsibility resting1 upon the Cunard line, it any, as a result of its policy of economy, was the main issue under consideration, vhen the board of trade inquiry into the destruction of the Ijiisitania, by a Herman submarine i-vff t Vi Ivicli ..met rot Moi' 7 7 woo I V'il lilt 14 UUkil Ull a414J I 9p M (la resumed today at Central Hall, Westminster. 1 A. A. Booth, chairman of the Cun ard line, was tho first witness called by Iord Mersy, who is conducting tho imiuiry and he .admitted upon the stand that the Lusitania was being operated at reduced speed in order to economize on fuel. "It was decided in November to put a policy of economy into force." declared Chairman Booth. 'The , homeward rush of Americans having ceased the company was not making any money upon voyages of its liners. 'Naturally speed is an important factor in avoiding submarines, but the company's view was that, as the Lusitania was one of the fastest liners afloat, she was safe. My understanding is that the submarine which sank the Lusitania did net pursue the ship, but laid in wait for her and was in the ripht position to attack when tho liner passed by. ITnder these conditions it would not have made an difference whether the full boiler capacity of the Lusitania was working at the time." The Canadian sncmnipnt was represented by Barrister Donald Maemaster, who questioned Chairman Booth at length. "I do not remember receiving any message from New York regarding" Herman threats a era in. t the Lusitania." said Chairman Booth in answer to these Interrogations. Chairman Booth then pointed out that the Lusitania could cross tho Liverpool bar only at certain times, on account of the" tide,' and Capt. W. T. Turner of the liner had been warned not to wa.it near the bar bccause of submarine dangers. TO KEEP UP POISON PROBE Owen County IrociMitor Plans for Further Im estimation. PPEN'CI'R. Ind.. Juno Lr,. The failure of the local authorities to establish through their long continued investigation anything more than a general suspicion that the late Coroner Kdwarel Dreschor had some knowledge or connection with Owen county's mysterious '"poisonings" which was aimed at more than a score of persons has led to the fear that the danger from that source has not ended. Deputy Prosecu'or Duncan has completed arrangements with the authorities for a widening of the search for the poison senders and has an nounced his intention of employing i private detectives to co-operate w ith the federal secret service operatives. The county commissioners will be asked to provide for a thorough investigation into the death of at least two persons.

In fact, all advices were do lan d to strengthen the belief now general in official Washington that Bre-'t Wilson and the kaiser will reach an agreement preserving the friendly relations between the two nations and resulting in honorable peace for both.
