Mr- lMmunds's letter Is In part as fol

l matter what might be the risks of
military collision. In the face of this
poltlon the Imminence of war faded
ami vanished as Hnmetlmes does a storm

"The.e historic facts compel n con
tract between the Administration of
which Mr. Olney was n very eminent

called neutrality.
"When the .Innocent and peaceful

with atrocities then hitherto unknown
among nations that even called them

have been told that we could have no

national law as well as or humanity,
and had they continued In such a course
hir representatives would have been

K'jih action would have been In no

"In President Cleveland's ndmlnlstra

and that any violation of It by the
strikers or their friends would be re

peace and order prevailed.

GERARD AND WILSON
TO MEET THIS WEEK
Ambassador Will Inform Pres
ident as to Situation in
Germany.
Lono Branch, N. J.. Oct. 15. Presi
dent Wilson will Inform himself fully of
the situation In Germany nnd the feeling
of that country toward the United States
through Ambassador Gerard, who Is to
visit him at Shadow Lawn this week.
Thomas D. McCarthy, formerly secretary
to the Ambassador, now United States
Marshal In New York, vlrtted Joseph
Tumulty, the President's recretary, to
day to arrange n meeting.
The conference probably will be to
morrow or Tuesday, because on Wednes
day the President leaves for Chicago It
had been Intended that he should make
only one speech, but requests for more
addresses have been m ide by the Chi
cago managers, so It Is probable the
President will comply. He Is to partici
pate In several entertainments
The reply of Great Urltaln and Franco
to the United States protest on the
seizure of neutral malls was rend care
fully by Mr. Wilson, hut he refused to
comment on any of Its phases. Senitor
Hushes of New Jersey was one of the
callers at the summer White House.
To-night a birthday dinner for Mrs,
Wilson was held In Shadow I-awti. The
President presented her with the dia
mond and platinum brooch he pur
chased here yesterday.

WILSON ACCUSED OF
STEERING INTO WAR
Clinlrmnn Wlllcox Issues
Statement Dealing With
Situation in Mexico.
SAYS ANARCHY EXISTS
Trouble Over Monroe Doctrine
Seen if Policy Isn't Changed
at Once.
Washington, Oct. 18. A charts that
tho course President Wilson Is steering
will end In war la made the basis of a
statement Issued here to-night by Will
iam II. Wlllcox, chairman of the Repub
lican National Committee.
"Any man," says tho Republican
chairman, "who may have been favor
ably disposed toward President Wilson
by the contention that 'he has kept us
out of war If he will but survey the po
sltlon of the United States nnd think for
himself will be convinced that Mr, Wil
son Is following a cnurso which must
Inevitably lead this nation Into war.
"That Mr. Wilson's courso In Mexico
must Inevitably result In a situation
which will make war not only with
Mexico hut with European nations un
escapable must be evident to any one
who will give the subject careful consid
eration. '
"It must be evident to Intelligent men
that existing conditions In Mexico can
not endure. Throughout that half set
tled but once prosperous republic abso
luto anarchy exists. Tho rights of no
man lire respected. Might nlone pre
vails. Carranxa, with the aid of the
United States. Is now In control of Mex
ico city, but his authority Is constantly
disputed and defied.
VIIU Stilt a Menace.
"Villa still lives and constitutes a per
sistent menace to Carranxa, as he will to
any one else who becomes head of the
do facto Governmant. Mexico has been
developed almost entirely by foreign
capital and rarely does a week pass that
the Ambassadors of foreign Powers do
not knock at tho door of the White
limine demanding for their citizens In
Mexico u protection which Carranta
cannot give them If he would, a reim
bursement for losses which Carranxa Is
unable to make If ha would.
"So great has been the Injury worked
upon the persons and property of for
eigners that Mexico has become the
debtor of every European nation, and
she nccr can n.iv her 1aM nmii v.u.
has been converted Into order, until an-
.n-n nas given place to Just and an
Uinriiatlve government and Mexico's
'va-t natural wealth can bo utlllied to
support her people and pay he debts.
No progress has leeh made under Car
ranza. It Is futile to contend there
has. Secretary Ijinslng's last long
communication to Carrnnz.i affords suf
tlclent evldenco of that fact. Conditions
are srowlng worse dally.
"What then Is to become of this situa
tion? Whit has been the outcome of
similar conditions In the Philippines and
Tuba. In llnytl and Santo Domingo?
The people of those countries have been
unable to establish order themselves,
and In each It has been necessary for
the United States, by force of arms,
to icstore order and establish a govern

Charles H. Sherrlll, organizer of New
York's preparedness parado last May.
declared last night that he had been In- j
formed In Mayor Mltchel s otllce th.it
the effort of tho national Administration
to stop the parade was not the first In
stance of the President's Interference
w'lth preparedness demonstrations, but
that Mr. Wilson previously had Indicated
his displeasure at the Mayor's activities
In behalf of adequate defence.
The Sherrlll statement was a part of !
the controversy with Mayor Mltehel over 1
what happened and what was wild at a
conference In the Mayor's olllce before
the parade last May. The Mayor has
denied that nny pressure was brought to '
bear by Washington to stop tho parade
out of deference to the feelings nf tier-
man Americans, while Mr. Sherrlll h
Insisted that he was told It was the
Administration's desire that the parade
be called off.
I rearet that the Mayor does not
remember the conference which took
place at his ofllce last spring, a fort

INSULT TO THE VOTERS
rinn for "Ten Thousand Club"
to Raise Fund for Demo
crats Assailed.
A group of prominent Jw Issued a
statement last night protesting against
tho Intrusion of religion In politics and
repudiating the efforts of some of their
faith to corral tho Jewish vote for Presi
dent Wilson in the coming election.
Mention Is mado In tho statement of
some of the activities In behalf of the Ad
ministration dnce the appointment of
Eouls I). P.randulM as n Justice of the
United States Suptftne Court and partic
ular criticism Is leveled nt the "Ten
Thousand Club," which was to be formed
by the Jews of America, each to con
tribute a dollar to tho Democratic cam
paign fund. Appeals to race or creed are
branded as an Insult to tho Intelligence
of the voters.
The statement follows :
"We, tho undersigned, earnestly pro
tect against drawing religion Into
politics. .
"Wide publicity recently has been
given to a direct nppenl calling upon the
Jews of America' to form a 'Ten Thou
sand Club' nnd to contribute one dollar
each to a fund In aid of the campaign for
tho reelection of President Wilson. The
appeal purports to recite In detail vari
ous olllclal acts declared to havo been
favorable to the Jewish people. The
sponsors of this appeal seem to have had
tome misgivings us to mo propriety of
their course, as they later attempted to
exnlaln that the address 'was prepared
for publication In the Yiddish press and
for the guidance of their readers.'

Encouraging Reports Flow
Into National Headquarters
Busy Week for Women.
Heports from the middle West which
havo been coming Into national Itepub

yesterday by the campaign managers
that there nppenrcd little to fear from
tho States which are normally Repub

ipeaklng tour confident thnt the States
which went to Wilson In 1912 because
of the Itcpubllcan split will nil bo back
In the O. O. P. column with substantial
majorities.
It Is conceded that there la no way
to estimate accurately how the women's
vote In Illinois will go. The Democrats
have claimed It for their party, but the I
itepubllcan leaders here have not been
Impressed by their arguments.
Word came from Missouri that that
State was not even "doubtful," so suro
wns It to go for Hughes. , Sherman P.
