official statement, has struck the Rus

forcd a passage of the Wlndau River.
This stream is a barrier to Riga, the
great Russiin naval base, and an ob

Military experts estimate that nearly two

Uncle Sam Trying Plan to Make
''Eye" Of Submarines Invisible
New York. July J6 A novel method of rendering the periscope of a
submarine Invisible to an enemy ship ot sea. Is being experimentally tried
out on the submarine K-6. now in dry dockxln the Brooklyn Navy Tard,
and will soon be given a practical test
The idea of making It impossible, or nearl so. for the periscope of
a submarine to be detected bv a hostile ship was conceived by Lieut.
Joseph o Fisher, of the K-, commanding officer of the Fourth division
submarine flotilla of the Atlantic Fleet
Lieut Fisher's plin. ii wa stated t an Xpert in the yard today,
consists in painting the periscope of a submiiine with i series of parallel
stripes In the arintis colors of the spectrum, and has for Its basis the
theory that Inasmuch as a white ray of light, when refracted Is broken
up Into the several colors, the'inverse should also be true, and the colors
of the periscope when refracted should be converted into a white ray
and thus become invisible.
Stripes of yellow, red. blue and preen, in the order named, have been
painted upon the periscope of the K-G. If the test of I.ieut. Fisher's Idea
Is successful all of the submarines will he likewise painted up.

Austria Says U. S. Policy of
Neutrality Is a Failure
Protest to America, Said to Have Backing of Turkey, Ques
tions Effectiveness of Washington's Stand Note
Made Public for First Time.
Vienna (via Iindon), July lfi Follow
ing Is the jiM text of Austria-Hungary's
protest to the United States against the
shipment of arms, said to have the back
ing of Turkey, now published for the first
time in America:
"The special attention of the Jinstro
Hungarian government has from the be
ginning been drawn to the marked con
sequences of the fact that for a con-
continued traffic in war materials car-
ned on on a large scale, while both Aus-
tria-Hungary and Germany have been
completely excluded from the American
markets.
"Although the Aiistrn-Hungarlan gov
ernment is perfectly convinced that
the attitude obserxed bv the American
government in this connection has been
Inspired solely by a desire to maintain
the strictest neutrality and to keep with
in the regulations set forth by existing
international treaties, the question arises
whether the situation which has arisen
out of the war. doubtless without any
Intention on the part of the American
government. Is not of such a nature that
the real intentions of the Washington
Cabinet have been, as a matter of fact,
frustrated and even reversed.
"If this question I answered In the
affirmative and the view of the Austro
Hungnrlan government Is that It must
undoubtedly be so answered another re
quest arises directly from It. viz. whether
it Is not possible and, indeed, necessary
that measures be taken to insure that
the desire of the American government
to observe strict Impartiality toward all
the belligerent parties shall be satisfied.
The Austro-Huncarian government, with
out hesitation and without reservation,
answers this question also in the affirma
tive. "All authorities on the subject of Inter
national law maintain that a neutral
government Is not permitted to allow un
hindered traffic in contraband of war If
such traffic is of such a kind, or reaches
such proportions, as to compromise the
neutrality of the government In question.
On whatever basis of scientific criteria
the supposed legitimacy of contraband
traffic be founded, it must nevertheless
be concluded that the export of war ma
terial from the United States, as It has
taken place during the present war. Is
not In conformity with claims of strict
neutrality.
j i ioiiows equally tnat there Is no
reason whatever why the right can be
denied to the American government to
put an end to this flagrant and formid
able export of war material by the pro
hibition of such exports, more particu
larly In view of the fact that It Is well
known that only one of the belligerent
parties can take advantage of this ex
port. The American government can In
no way lie blamed If It exerts this ad
mitted right and decides to pass a spe
cial act with the view of maintaining Its
position In conformity with the claims of
International law.

Mrs. Edison Wants Husband to
Serve His Country in Bigger Way
In discussing yesterday his conference with Mr. Edison at Orange.
N. J... Secretary of the Navy Daniels said:
"Sir. Edison Is Impressed with the Idea that warfare is changing
and that the United States must keep step with the times. We discussed
the plan In a general way. and Mr. Edison gave It as his opinion that the
great engineers of the country would be glad to give their services to
the country as proposed."
The Secretary of the Navy was asked what Mrs. Edison thought of
the suggestion that her husband should assume the responsibility of
heading the Board of Inventions.
"Mrs. Edison Is a patriotic woman." replied Mr. Daniels. "Assured
that through the board Mr. Edison would have opportunity to serve his
country In a bigger way than ever before, she readily assented to the
suggestion that Mr. Edison should take the chairmanship."
Secretary Daniels said that It was Mr. Edison's Idea that the work
of the proposed board should be largely advisory.

German Ambassador Holds
Conference with Secre'
tary Lansing.
ny .IOSKPH P. A-sMSf.
Secretary of State Lansing esterday
listened to the following Informal pro
posals bv the German Ambassador In
the course of a conference at the State
Department lasting an hour
First-That the I'nlted States permit
diplomatic exchanges over Germany's
submarine warfare to continue for the
present without definite conclusion.
Second-That the I'nlted States accept
oral assurances that lives and property
of neutral Ainei leans traveling on the
high seas would receive the considera
tion due under international law.
Third That the government of the
United States definitely offer its services
In an effort to mediate between Great
Britain and Germany with a view to
mutual concessions looking to the re
establlshment of the freedom of thp seas.
The Secretary expressed his Interest In
what the Amhasador had to communicate
and promisd to convey the hitter's views
to the President Ho could not commit
himself, however, on any essential point.
Secretary I. .-limine Reticent.
Secretary lousing would not discuss
the conference yesterday bejond stations
that the conversations had to do with
the lafst German notn on the Lusitania
matter, and th.it the Ambassador had
not expressed a desire to talk with Presi
dent Wilson prior to the sending of this
government's reply
It was stated authoritatively jeslerday.
however, that this government could re-
eive and accept oral assurances through
the German Ambassador without the ne
cessity of making such assurances public
or having them reduced to writing, pro
viding such assurances were given on
Instructions from thj German foreign
office. This means that the first two
propositions above enumerated could be
accepted by this government If such a
course will not threaten to stultify the
United States as the defender of Inter
national law. If, as pointed out In The
Herald yesterday, such a course should
involve a definite and final statement of
what our action would be in the event
of further injuries to Americans from
German submarines, and the negotiations
then "were suspended pending a more
auspicious time for conclusive exchanges,
many believe the position of this govern
ment would be sufficiently strong.
The third proposition that this govern
ment seek to mediate the submarine
question between Great Britain and Ger
manywill not. it is confidently believed,
appeal to President Wilson In the least.
In the matter of the nonobservance of
International law protecting the freedom
of the seas, tho United States Is essen
tially one of three parties at Interest,
a'd not therefore In a position to act as
mediator until Its Interest In the quarrel
shall have been eliminated.
This Is the position which the President
has taken consistently from the first
suggestion of this sort. He wants to
clear the skirts of this government of
any suggestion of a pending controversy
with Germany, before taking up with
Great Britain what this government
looks upon as Illegal Interference with
Its neutral commerce.
In view of this desire on the part of
the President. It Is considered doubtful
If he would agree to even a suspension
of negotiations with Germany short of
a definite conclusion one way or an
other. But It is certain that he wllf not
permit the Invasion of American rights
bv Germany to place this government In
the position of pulling German chestnuts
from the English nre.

NOTE FROM BERLIN IS
SEEN IN NEW LIGHT
Experts' Reports on Nebraskan Made
Just Before German Apology

Some officials here regard as a remark
able coincidence the receipt of the Ger
man memorandum acknowledging re

time that experts from this government
had completed an Investigation to deter
mine whether the attack was made with
a torpedo
Pieces of metal found In the damaged
hull of the Nebraskan were examined by
naval experts liere. The conclusion
reached -was that not only was the Ne-
DrasKan torpedoed, but that It was a
German torpe which struck her.
It is now stated that the reports of the
experts to this effect were completed but
very recently Just about lorsr enough be
foro the receipt of the German memo

Berlin. The Berlin memorandum and the

Holt, who attempted to blow up- the
National Capitol and who made a.des
perate attempt to assassinate J. P 'Mor
gan, had also been regarded as insane.
Authorities are of the opinion Chat In
these times monomaniacs, excltwi by the
horrors of the war, are doably dan
gerous. Weinschenk has been In Washington
for five or six months. Apparently he Is
a monomaniac on the iiestIon of this
government's alleged favoritism to Great
Britain. He Is decidedly pro-German.
For a number of months he has been
publishing his International Information
Bureau bulletin. It has been issued at
frequent Intervals, but at no regular
time. The bulletin was printed In large
numbers, and was sent broadcast over
the country. He sent copies to newspa
pers and to persons of great prominence,
both In official and private life.
Article Were Forceful.
The articles were clearly and force
fully written and showed signs of literary
finish. The government was denounced
roundly. The Germans were upheld.
Some of the newspapers referred to his
publications in their columns, scoring
his radical views. Yesterday morning
the New York Sun ran a lengthy edi
torial calling attention to his propa
ganda and denouncing him for his rabid
ideas.
Secret Service men stationed at the
White House got hold of copies of tho
bulletin and became interested In the
publisher. It is said that a short time
ago he sent several letters of a rather
threatening nature to President Wilson.
This led the Secret Service men to be
lieve that Weinschenk was dangerous.

arrest of the publisher.
Weinschenk Is said to have sympathiz
ed deeply with Frank Holt, the Cornell
professor who shot J. P. Morgan, laid
a bomb in the Capitol, and also brought
about an explosion on a ship carrying
ammunition to Great Britain. It Is not
believed, however, that he had any di
rect dealings with Holt. When ques
tioned concerning Holt, he said: "I too
might have done something to bring my
self prominently before tho public had
It not been that my publication kept me
so busy."
He has traveled considerably and came
to Washington from London, where he is
said to have spent COO.OM in publishing
a bulletin similar to the one established
here. He says he has branch offices In
Germany. Switzerland and England. He

The police believe that the arrest of
Weinschenk was most opportune. They
say an Insane notion to do bodily harm
or to damage property was likely to have
struck the publisher at any time.
