NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, -‘YELLOW PERIL’ CRY OF GERMANY VAIN .Ishii Hears Phrases of Friendship In U.S. Senate WELCOME BY SAULSBURY “Japan Has Removed Only Threat to Peace and Prosperity In Eastern Asia by Capture of Tsing Tau and German Islands, He Declares. Washington, Aug. 30.—In present- ing Viscount Ishii, specil ambassador and head of the Japanese mission, to the senate today, Senator Salsbury of *’Delaware, president pro tempore of the senate and acting in the absence of Vice President Marshall, declared the occasion ‘“symbolizes complete international fraternity which com- mon consciousness of international honor has brought about.” Referring to German propaganda, Senator Saulsbury said evil attempts had been made to breed distrust and hatred among friends of the United “States. “Japan”, he continued, “joins our great young nation in pledging anew a continuance of our old friendship which the trouble makers of the earth have tried so hard to interrupt. “We now know industriously in- sidious attempts have been made by the Prussian masters of the German sypeople to bring about distrust and hatred in the world. We know what evil attempts they have made to breed hatred and distrust of us among our friends, and we welcome this op- portunity to heartily congratulate our old friends wha honor us today, that by the capture of Tsing Tau and the German Isands in the Pacific, Japan has completely removed from the far eastern world the only threat, as we *Ydelieve, to peace and prosperity, the only threat to lasting peace in eastern Asia. “The yellow peril was made in Ger- many and Shangtung was seizedf the Slav peril was made in Germany, and Serbia was overwhelmed and Russia was invaded. But the thick- willed, smug, self-centered supermen -af Germany entering their last at- tempt at conquest have roused a real peril—a real peril to themselves— and the free nations who believe in international honor, in the binding force of treaties, and in the pledged word are grimly though so sorrow- fully engaged In creating, perfecting and bringing to successful issue an .Alliance for the benefit of all earth's “people, which will protect the rights of nations, small and great, and en- able them to lead their lives in peace and lead them unafraid.” Wonder If Ishii Will Get Steel. Tokio, Aug. 27.—Great interest is being shown in Japan in regard to what Viscount Ishii, head of the Japanese mission to the United States, will be able to accomplish regarding obtaining of relief for Japan's indus- tries from the embargo on steel. The newspapers take the view that Japan, a member of the entente, is en- titled to steel for her own national .Rurposes. A statement prepared on behalf of shipbuilders urges the delivery of 400,000 tons of steel ordered before the placing of the embargo. Con- tracts have been let for the con- struction of steamships from this steel. Kaiser An Insane Despoiler. Viscount Ishil addressed the sen- afe in part as follows: “No words at my comfand can give adequate expression to the pro- found appreciation I have of this honor you confer upon us. We know full well the exalted dignity and the proud traditions of this illustrious branch of the great legislature of the United States and in the name of my country, my mission, and myself I #hank you most sincerely. I grasp this occasion to say to you that the whole people of Japan Yeartily welcome and profoundly ap- preciate the entrance of this mighty nation of yours into the struggle against the insane despoiler of our elvilization. We all know that you did not undertake this solemn task son the impulse of the moment, but that you threw your mighty weight into the struggle only after excerising a most admirable patience with a firm determination that this world shall be made free from the threat of aggression from that black shadow of a military despotism wielded by a nation taught with the mother’s milk -that human right must yleld to bru- tal might. “To us the fact that you are now on the side of the Allies in this titan- tic struggle constitutes already a great moral victory for our common cause, which we belleve to be the cause of right and justice, for the strong as for the weak, for the great as for the small.” S TO BOMB FRANKFORT. Entente Aviators Unsucocessful tempt to Attack German City Amsterdam, Aug. 30.—An Entente aerlal squadron attempted to attack Frankfort-on-the-Main last Sunday the Berlin TAgeblatt reports.

AMERICA FIGHTING FOR GERMAN PEOPLE Secretary Daniels Says Battle is Not Alone for Democracy of Other Lands. Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 30.—Sec- retary Daniels, speaking here today at the breaking of ground for the government armor plate and projec- tile plant, declared that America is fighting not only for the democratic nations of the world, but is waging “the battle of the people of the Ger- man empire themselves.” “Germany began this war for a place in the sun,” said the secretary. “It has conducted it with the idea that it must have the place in the sun—and the only place. We believe that there can be no place in the sunshine for any nation on earth un- derneath the ominous shadow of the Prussian eagle, no sunshine even for the people of Germany themselves.” Mr. Daniels asserted that “in pre- paring for a terrible war the navy is taking the surest means to bring about an early and effective peace.” The secretary declared that the government had been dilatory in pro- viding for its, war needs. Had atten- tion been given to the far sighted ad- vocates of preparedness, he said, the country would not have entered the war with wholly inadequate facilities. NEW YORK CHEERS IT3 SOLDIERS ON WAY Roars of Encouragement Greet 27th Division, . U. S. A. on Parade. New York, Aug. 30.—Pride, patrio- tic fervor and the emotion that go with farewell greeting seemed to grip with a common intensity the two millions of people who watched the rank upon rank of khaki swing by. The troops, New York state’s former National Guard, now the 27th division of the United States army, marched before leaving fqr their preliminary traning at Spartur\‘)urg, 8. C., so that the city might givs: them a *“send off” worthy of their ultimate mission. They called forth roars of cheers that were almost continuous for the more than 6 hours it took the division to march from 116th street to Washing- ton square. Unless it may be the unpublished number already in France this divi- sion formed the largest number of American troops yet mobilized since the United States entered the war. Fifth avenue, scene of many par- ades, never before was so packed with | humanity as it was today. For five miles, two solid lines of people were banked eight and ten deep against shop window and houses, bulging a half black at every cross street and held from overflowing by a thin but efficient cordon of police. The thor- oughfare itself was a blaze with the stars and stripe and flags of the Allies, while every spectator, it seemed, car- riad a flag or wore a patriotic em- blem. Governor Whitman, Mayor Mitchel, city officials, Rear Admiral Usher and other navy officers, and officers of the Allies, Col,, Theodore®Roosevelt, Lord Northcliffe, Major Gen. J. Franklin Bell mayors of over 560 New York state cities, and foreign consul gen- erals, reviewed the parade from the balcony of the Union League club, GOT 30 PRISONERS ALONE. St. Louis Boy Decorated for Work at Verdun. Paris, Aug. 30.—Allen, son of Rich- ard Blown of St. Louis, who joined the Foreign Legion in April, has writ- ten to his father that he has been awarded a war cross with palm for taking 30 prisoners single handed in the fighting at Verdun. He was wounded slightly in the hand. Mr. Blown has considerably exceed- ed the expectation of his father who said at the time of his boy’s enlist- ment: “I want my son to account for five Germans.” l ABSCONDER ARRIVES, Willinm A. Kennedy Reaches York on Spanish Steamer. New York, Aug. 30.—William A.

Kennedy walved extradition and made the trip from Spain to Havana in custody of the captain of the ship. At Havana he was met by represent atives of the New York district at- torney’s office.

ANSWER PLEASING “No Peace Wlth Hohenzollerns” Satiskies Manchester Guardian RIGHT, PALL MALL GAZETTE French Editors Unable to Comment Without Complete Text Before Them German Committee Awaits Replies From Prussia’s Allies. London, Aug. 30.—“The text of President Wilson's reply to the Pope's peace overtures is not before us as we write, but everybody in the United States had already received it by yes- terday noon and summaries and com- ments from American newspapers leave us in no doubt about its char- acter,” says the Manchester Guardian. After declaring that the position of the president is clear and logical, the newspaper gives several extracts from Premier Lloyd George’s speech at Glasgow last June, which, it says, are much the same in spirit as Mr. Wil- son’s message to the Pope, continu- ing: “President Wilson's policy comes very near to the formula ‘no peace with the Hohenzollerns’ but it would be unfair not to recognize the very narrow but deep gulf that separates him from that formula. The way in which he prefers to put his policy is the guarantee of the German people. Guarantees given by the government, holding the views it does, cannot be durable. “Mr. Wilson has no desire to dic- tate to the German people their form of government, but as a good man he has faith in the honesty and sin- cerity of the democracy. He is not concerned to insist that Germany must form a government like our own, but only to assert the principle that in dealing with an autocracy like that of Germany we must in self- defense exact more severe guaran- tees than if we were dealing, not with a clique whose political vices have been made notorious by the war, but with a free people, which, in the mass, are never dishonorable, never cynical, never treacherous.” “In poing bevond the ruling caste to the German people dsays the Pall Mall Ga-ette, on may appear to some to be over sanguine but for ourselves,” the paper continues, ‘‘we believe he right, because we sec no alternative but complete military victor ‘When the enemy learn, as they must sooner or -, that it is the abomin- able doctrine of blood and iron which | stands between them and their deliv- erances, we believe clouds will have that lerns.” The Westminster Gazette says the reply strikes the right note for the allies and continues: “Firm, defiant against the German system, but not threatening ostracism and ruin if that system be dis-estab- lished, it may not succeed. The Ger- man people and their system may be too much at one for any disintegra- tion from within. But there is no reason why we should perpetually stoke up the fire-eaters who are try- ing to persuade the German peoples that the allies are bent on conquest and destruction and do nothing to help the growth of moderate opinion.” Paris Fails to Receive Note.

BETTER BUSIN VORWAERTS EXPOSES | OFFER TO RUSSIA Socialist Organ Insists Separate Peace Proposal Was Tendered to Government at Petrograd. | Copenhagen, Apg. 80.—The state- ment that an offer of a separate peace was made to Russia recently by the German government is published in the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin. It is brought out by the assertion of Premlier Kerensky in his Speech at the Moscow conference that Russia “a little time ago” re- plied indignantly to a proposal to conclude a separate peace and that a few days ago”, we witnessed another attempt equally base, directed agalinst our Allies”. In this connection, the semi-official Nord Deutsche Allegimine Zeitung again ig detected by the German press in an attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the world and the Ger- man public by ostensibly denying Premier Kerensky's account of the overtures to Russla and its allies which is characterized as in reality being no denial at all. The Tage- blatt, the Vorwaerts and Vossiche Zeitung- call attention to a trick of the semi-official organ in denying that such overtures were made by Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg, whereas, M.

Unfortunately he has not done this, the Vorwaerts asserts, but has permitted the opponents of the resolution to claim it for their own. PRESIDENT ENDORSES SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT Expresses Hope New York Will Give Handsome Majority. Aug. 30.—A letter Ison and a telegram rd, sadar to Gerntany, indorsing the fight of New York state woman suffragists obtain the enfranchisement of through a constitutional | amendment at the state elections in November, were reead today before the New Work State Woman Suffrage Party, in conference here, by Mrs. Norman DeR Whitehouse, the chair- man. President Wilson's letter fol- lows: “I learn with sincere pleasure of your impression of a growing senti- ment in the State of New York in favor of woman suffrage and I shall look forward with the greatest interest to the results of the state conference which you are planning to hold in Saratoga. May I not express the hope that that conference will lead to a very widespread interest in your campaign and that your efforts will be crowned with the most substantial and satisfac- tory success. “I hope that the voters of the state of New York will rally to the support of woman suffrage by a handsome ma- jority. It would be a splendid vindi- cation of the principle of the cause in which we all believe.” Mr. Gerard in his telegram said the great number of women employed in manufacturing trades and commerce have a right to vote on matters which now affect them as vitally as men and that “the war will add ta their num- ber.” The s“quiet, dignified woman’ | should not be deprived if a right to vote ‘“because of the misbehaviour of a reckless minority’” of militant suffra- gettes, Mr. Gerard declared. He said that the ‘“propartion of hot heads among women {s not greater than among men.” LIBERTY LOAN PAID UP Flows Into Fed- Saratoga, N.

Hartford, Aug. 30.—Connecticut towns and cities are called upon by Governor Holcomb in‘a proclamation issued by the state’s chief executive today to arrange exc s and cere- monies in.honor of the men soon to leave for training camps who have been chosen to fight under. their country’s flag under the selective service law.
