Wilson Made Overtures for
peace Possible, but All
Hope Was Put in U-Boats
BiKLiN'? July 19.?The report of the
-teond lub-WOJWit*?? of the commit
?f iaY8Sti?*ti?B on President Wil
.-n-5 peace efforts during the winter
?1&Z ?n* :91T' PreP*red bv Profes?
ar Sinsheimer, former Socialist m?m
w of the Reichstag, draws the con?
tusion that President Wilson's action
jade peace overtures possible, but that I
tfce German government, not availing ?
jcelf <?-" them, instead took a stand for i
??restricted U-boat warfare.
The report made available in full '
fcart rest rday. signed by sis mem-?
fc?rs of the different political parties, j
It is a grave indictment of Germany's I
Military dictator? at the time. The re- I
?Mi-i shows how the economists of '
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg's
?civil government, even Dr. Karl Helf
fench. then Minister of Finance, did
tot believe unrestricted U-boat war
fore could insure Germany victory. As
?the gravest mistake, the report men?
tions the fact that America's resources
?vtre under-estimated completely.
What Was Hop?ed of U-boat?
The report says it was argued that
?the submarines would prevent the
?transportation of American troops, "if
there Tere any. ' Ir further declares '
that the submarines failed to terrorize
W?ficiently neutral shipping; that suf- j
ficient attention was not paid to the
anti-U-boat measures of Germany's
enemies, and, finally, that when
America entered the war the military
authorities failed to make adequate i
provision for its inevitable lengthy
protraction.
That the German public was grossly
Bitlad is a further charge in the re- |
port, which implies that although the |
economic "experts' save adhesion to ;
?unrestricted U-boat warfare at the be- ,
lest of the military leaders, the ex
yerta were rabid party men and did
not include really first class authori?
ties, especially on shipping, who the
report holds should have been con- j
?uited.
"In fact," the reporrf goes on, "no ?
arguments against U-boat warfare were
permitted to be placed at any time" be- I
fore the Reichstag. The report espe
daily mentions the withholding from ?
public knowledge of communications ;
iron Dr. Haniei von Haimhausen, for- !
i?<;r!y Counsellor of the German Em?
bassy at Washington^ Dr. Franz von
Papen, former military attach? to the
eabaasy, and Dr. Heinrich F. Albert,
former commercial attach? to the em?
bassy, who, being familiar with the
American situation, insistently warned
sgcinst unrestricted U-boat warfare.
The report mentions notably von
Paper.'s message to General Erich von
Falkenhayn, former chief of the Ger?
man start, "if you fail to keep the
jCnHed State? out you have lost the
*ar."
Causes of Collapse
The capitulation of the civil govern?
ment's misgivings with regard to what
now has proved to be the mistaken
policy of frightfulnesa and the fact that
the Reichstag was kept in ignorance of
th; true situation were, according to i
the report, the cause of Germany's ?
collapse.
"The historical blame of Germany's ;
political government is," the report !
?continues, "that on' the vital question |
of Germany's existence it allowed to
happen that which in its conviction was
femicious to the country. The blame
*f the military leadership is that,
knowing unrestricted? U-boat warfare
?ould inevitably entail America's en?
try, it played the card."
A minority report issued at the same
time as the majority report consists
Tnainly of arguments to the effect that
President Wilson's efforts at the time
?ere not definite enough and that
there were sufficient reasons to adopt
?unrestricted U-boat warfare.
Favors Increase in Gas
?Rate of Queens Company
Special Master Holds Dollar Is
Insufficient Return on Prop?
erty Valuation
Dollar gas is held to afford an in
?uir.cient return on the valuation of
tre property of the New York and
.Queens Gas Company in & Teport and
Wmion filed yesterday in the United
?tates District Court by Abraham S.
?Gi.oert. special master.
, Mr. Gilbert in a previous report in
[the sun of the Consolidated Gas Com?
pany against the state and county au?
thorities and the Public Service Com
? - ion held that the 80-cent gas
r ?tute of 1906 is confiscatorv and un
tntional. The New York and
Queens Gas Company is an independent
concern, operating in outlying sections
? <h Brooklyn, and since 1910 has been
authorized by law to charge $1 a 1,000
pwhie feet of gas sold to consumers.
. I fir.d that the total reasonable cost
g* the gas delivered to its consumers
fey the New York and Queens Gas Com?
pany during the y?*ar 1919 was at least
jrfl.0880 a 1,000 cubic feet," Mr. Gilbert
g*/8! "from which should be deducted
??.?5 cents a 1.000 cubic feet for mis
"eelianeous operating revenue, making a
?"**? cost of gas delivered to the con?
sumer in 1919 $1.0205 a 1,000 cubic
Meet."
The defendants will file exception?
?to the report, as they did in the Con?
solidated case.

nothing for the loss involved, but it
is a loss, for there is no prospect what- ,
ever of Ireland winning any sort of
freedom without the support, or sane- j
tion at least, of a considerable body of
British opinion."
"The Manchester Guardian," another
Liberal paper equally inclined to fight
Ireland's battles, says:
"It is useless to repeat that every
one outside Ireland knows about the
serious loss of caste anjong nations
which the long sequence of murders is
inflicting upon Ireland. The murderers
probably saturated their minds in
abominable casuistry, -which assumes
that wrong can be turned into right
whenever a body of men sees fit to
assert that there is a 'state of war'
between them and somebody else. The
idea is that such an assertion confers
some mysterious license on those who ]
make it to throw off the ordinary mor- i
ality of all human societies and com?
mit without moral stain what the gen- ?
eral conscience of mankind recognizes ,
as acts of personal dishonor. To any j
one not drunk with the strong waters
of sophistry murders like that of Mr,
Smythe can seem only acts of base j
cruelty founded on an argument in- i
tellectually childish."
The conservative press is naturally j
still more emphatic in denouncing the !
murder. "The Evening Standard," j
after expounding the frightful char- i
aeter of the latest Sinn F?in crime ?
and pointing out that "The Daily Her- |
aid" (Sinn F?in organ) failed to con- |
demn this murder, goes on to say:
"One must express' tiope that the re?
sentment over this detestable crim^
will not deflect the judgment of the
Premier in dealing with the whole
question cf Ireland.
"During the absence of the head of
the government there is a tendency to
drift with the stream, but in this case
we are too dangerously near the rapids
to afford to permit much further delay
in dealing with what is rapidly be?
coming the disintegration of society
in Ireland. It is now clear that the
government bill for the solution of
the Irish problem is no remedy. W?
think it was sincerely intended, but
obviously it won't do. Tho Prime Min?
ister is not generally wanting in per?
ception, and a little consideration of
the facts probably will show him the
desirability in losing no time in stat?
ing the government's last word on Ire?
land.
"If there is any chance of peace, the
country will expect that the Ministers
shall go the extreme limit to get. that
peace. If there is to be war. the coun?
try must first be convinced that war
is inevitable. The government has
rightly stated that it will resist to the
end any proposal to set up an Irish
republic, but, short of that, how far
is it prepared to go?"
The attitude of most, of the Sinn
F?iners in Ireland toward the crime is
one of unrelenting satisfaction. They '
say that the speech of Colonel Smythe]
wherein he is said have advocated the j
shooting of civilians by the police in a ;
campaign to "wipe out the Sinn F?in" j
was never denied,by him, but that he j
merely declared it. was "inaccurately j
reported," and that he therefore de- ?
clared open warfare, and his death fol- j
lowed in due course.
The more moderate element in Ire- !
land, which has been pushing the as- ?
similation of control of Irish affairs I
by the Sinn F?in in ways such as law i
courts and Irish volunteers, feels that |
the murder is a distinct setback for!
its cause. But for the present the
more radical element holds the upper
hand whenever it cares to strike.
Guerilla Tactics Used
CORK, July 19 (By The Associated '
Press.)?The Sinn F?iners in last I
night's reign of terror here used the ?
guerilla tactics which had been out- ;
lined in the plan of campaign of the j
Republican army.
The fighting broke out following a
bayoneting incident in the street, in
At midnight the streets were corn
About 10 o'clock indiscriminate firing
started in virtually all sections of the
city.
The firing caused consternation.
Frightened women and children
hurried into side streets and doorways
and knocked frantically at houses for
admission. Volunteer patrols hurried
to their assistance, but several young
girls and former soldiers already had
been hit by flying bullets and were
taken to the hospital.
The rush of civilians from the prin?
cipal streets was followed by the
volunteers, who warned the people to j
lie down while the volunteer guarde
watched the movements of the |
armored cars.
Most of the casualties occurred in
the northern par; of the city, where :
the infirmary staJi' dealt with the most '
serious cases, retaining the worst and I
sending the other wounded mwa* after ?
giving them treatment.
After midnight the streets were com?
paratively quiet, with the military pa?
trolling them- There was occasional
firing up o 2 o'clock this morning,
however, the patrols once in a while
letting go a volley.
Raiders Burn Military Shipment
DUBLIN, July 19 (By- The Associated i
Press).?A daring raid was carried out. j
by armed men at the Kir.gsbridge term?
inus of the Great Southern Railroad j
this afternoon. The raid resulted in !
the destruction of three railway cars
filled with military stores, which were
being guarded by ten soldiers?
The raiders, armed with revolvers, j
drove up in motor cars. They sur- !
rounded and disarmed the soldiers and j
afterward set tire to the cars. The fire ?
brigade weis summoned, but the men ?
refused to extinguish the flames when
the circumstances of the lire were
learned. Nevertheless the firemen kept
the flames from spreading beyond the
military storei.
DUBLIN, July 19. ? Official denial
was made to-night of a report from
Dublin that two motor lorries loaded
with soldiers had been bombed in the '
streets of Cork and that a number of
soldiers had been injured.

WASHINGTON, July 19.? Forces un?
der General Tuan Chi-jui, former Chin?
ese Premier and Minister of War, and'
leader of the militarists, were severely
defeated in fighting near Peking, the
State Department was informed to-day
by the American Legation at Peking.
Tuan's troops were reported to have
been outflanked by General Wu Pei-fu,
and driven back with serious losses.
The wounded are arriving in Peking.
Contingents under General Chang
Tso-lin, who is opposing Tuan, are
reported to have arrived 6,000 strong
in the fighting zone at Pei-Tang and
Yang-stun. Chang Is military inspect- j
or of Manchuria and military gover?
nor of the province of Feng-Tien. The
arrival of Chang is said to have forced
the withdrawal of Tuan soldiers from
those areas to Lofa, which is on the
railroad between Tien-tsin and Peking.
Steps Taken to Protect Peking
General Wang, commanding the
troops in the city of Peking, is re?
ported to be taking measures to pro?
tect the citv against the soldiers of
Tuan, 8,000 of whom are said to have
returned from the fighting area to the
vicinity of Peking.
Apprehension as to the safety of for

? fighting between the forces of the rival
! factions was lessened to-day by advices
received by the State Department from
the American Legation at Peking.

Two Turk Peace
Envoys Resign
From Cabinet
Fahreddine Bey and Djemal
Pasha Quit Ministries
of Works and Education
Over Treaty Differences
All Members May Retire
Signing of Pact Uncertain;
Tewfik Oppoes Move;
Revolt Is Threatened
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 19 (Bj,
The Associated Press).?Djemal Pasha
Minister of Public Works, and Fahred?
dine Bey, Minister of Education, wh(
were both members of the Turkisl
peace delegation, resigned from th<
Cabinet Sunday.
Tho prospect is that the entire Cab
inet will resign because of the rov
over the peace treaty.
It is extremely uncertain whethe
the Grand Vizier, Damad Ferid Pasha
will be able to sign the peace treaty
as Tewfik Ptsha, another member o
the peace delegation, now also is un
favorable to signature. Tewfik de
clares that the extermination of Tur
key at the hands of the Entente with
out Turkish consent would be prefer
able to extermination with the ap
proval of the Turkish government.
Damad Ferid's position is extreme!
difficult and it appears doubtfu
whether even veith a new Cabinet h
could sign, unless the treaty shoul
be modified more than seems likely.
Spa Reply Is Forwarded
Rcchid Bey, Turkish Minister of th
Interior, who is now in Paris, has foi
warded the reply of the Spa conferenc
with regard to the treaty to Constant
nople, but it has not yet been deciph?
ered. Damad Ferid has not yet ai
cepted the resignations of Djem;
Pasha and Fahreddine Bey.
A circular has been posted on th
deadwalls of Stamboul urging a boj
cott against the powers forcing th
treaty upon Turkey. It exhorts a
Mussulmans to arm themselves wit
pistols, clubs and hatchets and drh
out "the weak leaders who yield to tl
demands of foreigners who are seekir
to ruin Moslem power,"
SMYRNA, Asia Minor, July 19 (?

commissions visiting the Smyrna di
trict and other parts of Turkey o
cupied by the Greek armv are tryir
to quiet the uneasy Moslem populatk
and stem the exodus of Turks, whi<
is assuming alarming proportions.
General Exodus of Turks
British assurances--that there will 1
no repetitions of the massacres whii
occurred when the Greeks original
occupied Smyrna under the Supren
Council's order have not quieted Tur
ish unrest. There is a general exodi
of Turkish families eastward ai
southward into the Italian area at
from Thrace into Bulgaria, while Co
stantinople is crowded with the bett
class of Turkish families. As t
Turks are the actual laborers ai
farmers in the occupied areas, t
exodus is viewed here with alarm.
