Writes Former Fitchburg, Mass., Oct. 30.JSgnator Henry Cabot Lodge in the Course of a campaign speech here tonight, read a letter from John Temple Lloyd Jef- fries, of Boston, in which the writer stated that Henry Breckinridge, for- mer assistant secretary of war, had several times made to him remarks similar to those attributed to him by Dr. Charles H. Bailey, of Tufts col- lege,” concerning the alleged elimina- tion by President Wilson of a weak- ening postscript from the ‘“strict ac- countability” note to Germany. A letter from Dr.sBailey regarding a convercation he had with Mr. Breck- inridge on the :Zbject was read by Senator Lodge at a public meeting Saturday night and the senator, in his address tonight, said he presented the letter from Mr. Jeffries, “as addi- tional evidence.’ .The letter follows: Letter from Bailey. . “Dear Senator Lodge:—I have noted in Boston papers your remarks con- necting President Wilson with a post- script to one of the so-called Lusi- tania notes. According to the papers you state that the effect of this post- script was to vitiate the force of the note, or purposely to inform the im- perial government that vigor displayed in earlier parts of the note was de- signed for Anglo-American consump- tion solely. According to the press ac- counts this postscript was added ra- ther surreptiously and under star charfiber .proceedings and was with- drawn only because the few manly members of the cabinet happened to discover its existence by luck and na- turally threatened to turn the govern- ment upside down. “I assure you, I decply regret being drawn down into this affair, but I cannot sit idly by and see you called a liar when I know your state- ments are true. “My friend, Major Breckinridge, several times made to me marks similar to those reported by Professor Bailey. I cannot swear to every min- ute detail, for my memory is only hu- man; but the general substance of your statement is correct to my per- sonal knowledge. “As I have telegraphed to Major Breckinridge to tell him of my pro- mefBOSE1 action, and as his remarks wero not...secret. and -as Professor -Lailey has already involved the major, I feel obliged to state that I know your statement is true. With regard to Major Breckinridge, he is one of the finést examples of the American g tleman and his distin hed fami has been famous for chivalry in the south for years. statement {also is unquestionably true beyond any possibility of doubt. “Believe me, dear Senator Lodsgs, yours truly, “John Temple Lloyd Jeffrie: Comments by Lodge. “The writer of this letter, Mr. John Jeffries,” Senator Lodge said, “is a member of a very well known family {in Boston, a gentleman of honor and of the highest character and well known to me pe lly. The e dence that Mr. Breckinridge made the statement to him about the postscript I therefore think cannot be suci iully controverted and if Mr. Breck: inridge made the statement, it can be absolutely believed. Mr. Breckinridge has published one or two telegrams in which he refers to Dr. Bailey and myself which its His in is not a ve impo; tant,” but he char: his own conversation, whi Bailey re- ported, as ‘backs ip’ He does himself a great injustice by this, b cause he was a member of the V son administration and a most exce! lent assistant secretary of war. He denies that there w: ny threat of resignation by Mr. Gai n or other: but he entirely fails to deny the e: sential point, which was that the postseript was written and that he and Mr. Garrison saw it. Mr. Garri- son said yesterday in Washington: t. being interviewed on any sub. re no statement of any kind that he also refuses to deny xistence of the postscribt, which he certainly would done if it had been a mere fabric by Dr. Bai- ley. Dr. Bailey i gentleman the highest charact: standing & veracity. 1 have no doubt ‘that he stated the conversation in substance with absolute truth.” DENIAL FROM BRYAN OF WEAK POSTSCRIPT Takes It for Granted That President Wilson Will Deal With Matter. Omaha, Neb.,, Oct. 30.—Willlam J. Bryan, former secretary of state, de- nied here tonight that there was any truth in the story that a postscript had been written to the Lusitania note advising the German government the strong language of the note should not be taken seriously amd that later the postscript was withdrawn. “I take it for granted,” Mr. Bryan said, “that the president will deal with the matter as he deems wise, if indeed attention meeds be paid it after Breckinridge’s nenial.” Mr. Bryan would make no further comment except to call attenton 1o e fact that his resignation was not tend- ered at the time the first Lusitania note, to which the alleged postscript was attached, was written, but at the time the second note was written, which was nearly a month later. WILSON BRANDS LODGE'S STATEMENT AS UNTRUE That He Had Considered Adding a Weakening Postscript to Lusitania Note. Long Branch, N.

The president telegraphed to Walter | never discussed Marina Not Under ~>.0ks Statement| Charter to British STEAMER WAS ENGAGED’ IN REG- ULAR TRADE AS A FREIGHTER HAD HORSES FOR ALLIES Seventy of Crew of 104 Are Missing— Many of the Men Were Americans— Much Depends Upon Whether Ship Was Torepdoed Without Warning. ‘Washington, Oct. 30.—Preliminary reports of the sinking by German sub- marines of the British steamcrs Marina and Rowanmore, partly manned by Americans, were too incomplete to- night to enable officiais at the state department to form an opinion as to whether there had been a violaticn of neutral rignts or of pledges given the United Stales by Germany. Secretary Lansing declined to comment further than to admit that the reports appear- €d more serious than the usual routine despatches announcing the destruction of belligerent merchantment and that full information would be awaited with interest. Present Situation Grave. On its face, the case of the Marina, reported by Consul Frost at Queens- town, preserits the gravest situation that has arisen since the sinking of the channel liner Sussex, which brought the American and German governments to the verge of a break. Although he cautioned that his infor- mation was “purely provisional” the consul cabled that the Marina, a “horse transport, with a ed crew of British and Americans,” was I ported sunk without warning by Ger man submarine gunfire, 100 miles west of Cape Clear, and that.70 of the crew of 104 were missing. Press despatches have indicated t the missing men might reach shore in their boats later. Another message from Mr. Frost said members of the crew of the Rowan- more, including Americans, bad been shelléd in their boats while abandoning the ship after being chased by a sub- marine for 50 minutes. There were no casualties. Not Under Charter to British. Aceording to the agents in this coun- try of the Marina’s owners, the Don- aldson line, the vessel, with American horse tenders abos not under charter to the British gov- ernment as a transport, but was en- gaged in her regular trade as a freighter and carried horses for the entente allies as a part er general cargo. Under such circumstances she would be enttiled to all the immunities | of any other belligerent owned mer- chantman, and an enemy destroying her and her contraband cargo would be required-to make due provision for the safety of the ship's company unless she was sunk In the act of attempting to escape. Apparently all depends upon the ac- curacy of the first teports; whether the Marina actually was attacked without warning or whether she is to be recorded as only another of the scores of B carriers that have gone to the bottom as the result of thelr skippers’ desperate efforts to out- run enemy shells.
