expectation here to-night. It Is pointed
out. however, that regardless of the pop

guided by the law nnd the principles '
which It has sought to maintain In Its
notes to (lermany.
It Is not doubled that public opinion their motives misconstrued,

this will prove a fact looming largo In
the public mind.
Finally, It Is expected that If subse
quent reports show that the Armenian
was under charter, to the British Oov
crnment many Americans will agree
with the vleiv that Hermany wilt un
doubtedly take-, .namely, .'thnt she. wax
practically nn auxiliary transport of tho
British Government.
Do Not nxprrt Pressure.
In view of these probabilities, there
fore. It Is believed that the Administra
tion will not bo subjected to such pres
sure of public opinion In this case as In
previous cates Involving Americans.
Jluwevcr, It Is felt In ofllclal quarters
that this Government Is already so far
committed to a definite position In re
gard to tho Herman submarine opera
tions that It will have no choice ns to
what It shall do, unless most extenuat
ing circumstances are developed In Jmtl
flcatlon of tho sinking or the Armenian.
For example, the Tresldent said to Hcr
many on May 13 :
It the United States Government
icsumcs, on the contrary', that the
Imperial Herman Government accept,
lis of course, the rule that the lives of
noncombntnnts, whether they be of
neutral cltlztnshlp or citizens of one
of the nations at wnr, cannot lawfully
or rightfully bo put In Jeopardy by tho
capture or destruction of an unarmed
merchantman, and recognize also, as
all other nations do, the obligation to
take the usual precaution of visit and
search to ascertain whether a sus
pected merchantman Is In fact of
belligerent nationality or Is In fact
carylng contraband of war under a
neutral flag.
Former Notes Cover Case.
Similar phraseology Is used In the
note to Germany of June 9. The sen
tence quoted Is regarded here as cover
ing the Armenian case completely, un
less It Is established that she was In the
proper sense of the term a Government
hip and as committing the Tresldent to
make representations In this case as In
the previous cases.
The views expressed here to-night In
dicate that Of rmany will ha.ve to prove
that the Armenian was in charge of
naval officers and was flying the naval
ensign of Great Britain to establish her
status as a Government or public ship
to the satisfaction of this Government.
Those most familiar with American
precedents, while cautious In expressing
an. opinion, did not Incline to the view
that charter by the British Government
would make her a Government ship.
Proof that the Armenian was armed and
used guns against the Oermnn sub
marine would be regarded here as a cir
cumstance affording more Justification
for her destruction than the fact that
he may have been under British char
tar. The queatlon as to whether or not she
was armed Is a matter on which the Col
leotor of the Port at Newport News
hould have Information. It has been the
understanding here that none of the ves
aela engaged In carrying horses from
Newport New to England and France
had any armament.
The British Government early in the
war gave the United States to under
stand that none of Its vessels using
American ports would carry any guns
jvhatever. even for defence. If thn Ar.
'tienlan carried guns for offence she
ould not have been allowed to sail.

CLEARANCE REGULAR.

NnwronT Nr.ws. Va., June 30. Tho
'Armenian left here on June 1 with a
cargo of mules valued at $284,400 and
horse feed nnd sea storea valued at
something like 112,000.
An examination of the clearance pa
pers filed at the custom house dis
closes tho fact that the clearance was
regular In every way. They show that
the steamer carried 1,771 bales of hay,
valued at 2,674 ; 870 bags of bran,
valued at 11,110; 450 bags of oats valued
at 11,440 and other articles of horse
feed. The steamer's store list shows
thnt. she carried nothing but the usual
food eaten at sea.
It is believed here that the Armenian
was under charter the British Govern
ment. The shipping agents, however,
decline to discuss that matter.
The crew totalled 160. Klghty-seven

IxiNtKiN, June 30. The visit of the
German Imperlnl Chancellor, von Beth-wiann-Hollwcg.
nnd the Foreign Minister,
Dr. Gottlieb von Jagow, to Vienna, and
various reports as to the course Bu
manla will pursue; have created tho
greatest Interest here.
Thero remains no doubt that tho
two Herman diplomatists went to
Vienna to confer with the Austria.)
Government respecting the exigencies
of the Balkan situation, esptclttlly as
It concerns Itumanla, nnd to decide upon
a dcllnlto policy toward the Ilumanlan
price of neutrality.
But whether the German Chancellor
and Foreign Minister left Vienna In
perfect accord with the Austrian offi
cials In a matter for doubt, Despatches
from Home have It thnt the Germans
told their Austrian allies flatly that Oer
many will have nothing to do with a
war against Itumam.i. In other word?,
according to this version, If Austria
Hungary Is not ready to cedo to Hu
mania tho provlnoo of Transylvania,
Austria will have to face a war with
Humanla unaided by Herman support.
On the other hand, both Chnnccllor
von llethmann-Hollwtg and Dr. von
Jagow nre quoted In Berlin despatches
ns saying that tho Rumanian question
has been settled and no fear of Inter-
ventlon from that one of the Halkr.i
States need be feared. Positive us nto
the asiertlons of these two dlplomatlsti
In this respect, there seems to be some
reason to doubt the accuracy of their
prophecies, for It Is scarcely believed
that Austrla-Hunxary will give up
Transylvania without a right.
From Home It Is reported on sup
posedly good authority that Austria
Hungary has sought to appease Hu
manla by offering immediate autonomy
to the Itumanlans In Transylvania. Thlii
offer, the same report says, has boon
Hilly refused by the Itumanlans, who
propose to annex the province or nc
cept tho Husslnn proposals and enter the
war on the side of the Allies.
It Is known that Kmperor Francis
Joseph has written an autograph letter
to the King of Humanla striving to
nvert Rumanian Intervention. There is
little doubt In the minds of political ob-
servers here, however, that Humanla's
I eventtlnl nlttnnrn with Hi. AIIUa l l.
evltable.
In nny event It nppenrs now that tin
entire Balkan situation Is nearer a gen
eral upheaval than at any time since
the wnr began. No one belittles the
Importance of the course Humanla may
finally adopt, nnd It Is a matter of com
mon knowledge here that while the diplo
matists of Germany are doing all in
their power to prevent Rumanian Inter
vention, the representatives of the
allied Powers are putting forth equal
efforts to secure Just that end.
The following despatch has been re
ceived from Berlin respecting the recent
visit of Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl-weg
at Vienna :
"The conversations between Chancel
lor von Bethminn-Ilollweg and Foreign
Minister on Jagow with the Austrian
statesmen did not concern, ns was re
ported, the question of the American
note, but dealt exclusively with the Bal
kan situation.
"The German Minister at Bucharest,
Von Denhtifscher, formerly the German
Ambasador nt Washington, and the
AuMrlnn Minister, Count Margholln, th
Cnnervntlve leader, have held a confer
ence. Afterward Count Margholln con
ferred with the Humanlaii Premier and
Minister of War. J. G. Hrntlano.
"Both Chancellor von Hethmnnii-Holl-weg
nnd Dr. von Jhkow have returned
fmm Vlennt after their conversitlonn
with leading Austrian statemen and
both expect that Humanla will remain

LEAGUE OF PEACE
DEFINES ITS AIMS

TAFT HEPTjTES TO BRYAN
The League to Knforce Pence, n
newly formed organization of which ex
President Taft Is the head, hns ndopled
a programme following a meeting of
Its executive committee, Herbert S.
Houston of Doubledny, Page & Co.
announced yesterday,
President Lowell of Harvard Is clmlr
mnn of tho league's executive com
mittee, which remained in session nt
tho City Club until 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. President Lowell left for
Cambridge, nfter having ngreed with
other members' of the committee and
with tho t'lilted States Chnmher of
Commerce thnt the league should light
hnrd from now on for tho adoption by
tho nations of this plnn:
First, an International court to try
all Justiciable questions,
Second, n council of conciliation
for tho consideration of non-Justlcln-ble
questions.
Third, tho use of Joint economic:
pressure and military force ngalnst n
signatory beginning hostilities con
trary to tho terms of the alliance.
Fourth, the formulation and adop
tion of a coda of International law,
Mr, Tnft was mndo honorary chair
man of tho executive committee nnd the
other members besides President Lowell
are Theodore Marburg of Baltimore, ex
Minister to Belgium, nnd Hamilton
Holt, editor of the ndeiirmeitf, vice-
chairmen: Mr. Houston, treasurer, nnd
Wllllnm II. Short of New York, secre
tary. Ah the newly elected president of the
Assoclnted Advertising Clubs of the
World, Mr. Houston has Interested .that
organization in the league's plans.
The Immediate work of the league
will be a campaign of education through
out tho country to Inform the public
of the league's purposes. As soon us a
favorable opportunity presents Itself
Mr. Marburg will launch tho campaign
abroad.
Speaking of tho nlms of the league
nnd of Mr. Bryan's criticism of It. Mr.
Tnft said nfter the executive commit
tee meeting ;
"1 observe that Mr. Brynn has at
tneked our league and has made the
sharp l.iue upon which we ought to bo
wllllni to go before tho country, our
puiposu should be to create such a sen
timent In favor of tho simple basis that
wo present, that the President, the Sec
retary of State and the diplomatic rep
resentatives of this country will feel
Justified In presenting such u basis tn n
future conference of world Poworn as an
expression of real American public
opinion.
"The men who Hiilisrrlhed to tin.
Independence Hnll resolutions were I
neither peace nt any price men, nor
were they militarists. The fact that
they wished to tnke a middle course
does not In thn slightest degree diminish
their Just claim to a proper feeling nf
patriotism and h high sense of national
responsibility. We do not Impeach the
motives of those who advocate a purely
paclflc polcy of complete defenceless
ncss. or of those who believe that the
times require us to maintain what Is
equivalent to a large standing army
and navy equal to that of any nation.
Wo believe tho time has arrived, or
will have come when the war Is over,
for the nations of the world, Including
the United States, to unite in a defen
sive league which shall enforce peace
by the resistance to any aggression by
one member of the league upon another
until submission of Iho question to n
court or a board of conciliation."
Kx.PresIdent Andrew D. White of
Cornell, formerly Ambassador to Ger
many, wrote one of many letters of In
dorsement that were lead at the meet
ing of the executive committee Dr.
White said, "The more I study your
league of peace communication the more
I like It."
