THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1916. 7 LSS eSS DENIALS FLYING * THICK AND PAST Former Assistant Secretary of War 8Says Never Spoke About Postscript Matter. DR. BAILEY INSISTS HE DID New York, Oct, 30.—Democratic na- tional headquarters made public last night the following telegram sent by Henry C. Breckenridge, former as- sistant secretary of war, to the Phila- delphia Ledger in reply to statements made in a speech by Sanator Lodge quoting him in reference to the alleged elimination of a postscript from the second Lusitania note. Mr, Breckenridge's telegram, filed at San Mateo, Cal, as given out by the committee, follows: 2 “Anyone who quoted me to Senator Lodge as represented in your tele- gram as quoted is a_scoundrel, No member of President Wilson’s cabinet ever threatened him on any subject. The malice that would seek for par- tisan adyantage to emasculate the po- tency of one’s government in a vital interpational affair by the peddling of backstairs gossip is beneath con- tempt.” Houston Sends Denial. Another denial of Senator Lodge’s assertion was contained in a message received at democratic headquarters from David F, Houston, secretary of agriculture, who san: “I have received a telegram from the Philadelphia Public Ledger, re- porting Senator Lodge as having said at Brockton that after the second Lusitania note had been read the pres- ident added a postscript informing the German government that the words ‘strict accountability’ and other strong phrases were not to be taken seriously and that I threatened to resign if the postseript was added. Of course, this 1s a fabrication pure and simple. The president would have been incapable of conceiving such a crooked course. Never Heard of It. “I never heard of such a postseript and did not threaten, and have at no other time, threatened to resign, “I would have been astounded at the reported statement if I had not noted ather irresponsible, unpatriotic and disloyal utterances of republican leaders, especially those raising and dealing with sectionalism. Surely the republican leaders are very desperate and in sad need of issues when they lend themselves to such things.” : Wilson Is Silent, Long Branch, N. J.,, Oct. 29—Re- newal of assertions by Senator Lodge of Mpssachusetts that President Wil- son had eliminated a weakening post- script from the “strict accountabitity” note in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania brought forth no state- ment from President Wilson tonight, officials here taking the position that denials by cabinet members were suf- ficient. The president was informed that former Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge had denied the truth of an interview with him, which Senator Lodge gave as the authority for his charge. » » Garrison Also Mum. . Washington, Oct. 30. — Former Secretary Garrison declined ronight to comment on Senator Lodge's speech or the telegram of Mr. Breckinridge, his former assistant secretary. Mr, Garrison asked whether Mr, Breckinridge had denied the state- ment attributed to him, but declined to discuss the matter further. “f am not being imcrvi‘ewed on any subject,” he said. “I'have no statement of any kind to make.” Bailey Stands Pat, Boston, Mass, Oct, 30—A re- affirmation of the truth of his state- ment that Henry Breckinridge, former assistant secretary of war, had told him that President Wilson had eliminated a postscript from the sec- ond Lusitania note after several mem- bers of his cabinet threatened to re-|” sign if it were included, was made today by Dr. Charles H. Bailey, a pro- fessor at the Tufts Medical school, Dr. Bailey was quoted last night in a letter read at a political meeting in Somerville by Senator Lodge as hav- ing had a cqnversation with Mr. Breckinridge on a train from San Francisco, last July, in which the former assistant secretary of war made the alleged assertion regarding the postscript. According to a statement issued by -the republican state committee, Dr, Bailey replied tonight to an in- quiry he has received from the Phila- delphia Public Ledger that his letter as read by Senator Lodge was "a fair and not at all exaggerated” re- port of his conversation with Breck- inridge, Part Not Denied. The committee’s statement added: “Dr. Bailey said in his reply that he expected there would be denials all around, but that he affirmed the truth of his letter, and called attention to the fact that Breckinridge had made no denial of the most import- ant feature of the letter which said that President Wilson without the knowledge of any member of his NO RELIEF FROM INTENSE ITCHING Tells of “Wonderful Cure” by Resinol. Boston, Mass, Aug. 26.—~"1 had eczema in the worst way for six months. A small pimple on my right wrist kept spreading until it was up to my elbows. It came out in pots and some places were like water blis- ters, no rellef whatever, My fingers were all covered with cracks and pained me very | badly. My hands and arms were all scales. The "burning was so bad it felt as If I had been turned to a blister and the blister rubbed off. I-tried everything I could hear about, Including many prescriptions, but had no rellef. As a last resort I tried Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment. The itching STOPPED AT ONCE. Before 1 had used Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap three days the redness had all gone, 1 could sleep nights—no itching or burning—and I felt like a new woman, People who knew me when 1 had this trouble were surprised at the wonderful cure."

Alluding to the question put by | Baron Charles Beresford to Viscount Grey, the foreign secretary, with re- gard to the German submarine opera- tions, Earl Grey said: Asks About Destroyers. “My Lords, before the secretary of state for foreign affairs answers the ‘questiou, 1 should like to be allowed to ask a supplementary question— namely, whether there is any truth in the statement in the press of Tuesday, October 10, that the commander of the German submarine U-53 asked the commanders of American destroyers Denham and Macdougal to clear out of the way so that he might have room to blow up the ships he was at- tacking, and whether it is true that the American destroyers promptly acceded to the German request? I sin- cerely hope the noble viscount will as- sure the house that there is no truth in the statement that American de- stroyers deliberately moved out of the position in the open sea in order to enable the German submarine to sink the merchant vessels. Departure From Tradition. “Such action on the part of the American war vessels would involve a anrtlin‘x departure from the old tradi- tions of mutual service between Amer- ica and England in the cause of hu- manity. The custom of both British and American sailors in all parts of the world to go spontaneously to each other’s assistance in moments of diffi- culty has been so invariable that I had learned before the war to regard American and British ships as prac- tically ships of one united ?leet for the urpose of safeguarding and promot- ing the highest interests of mankind. ‘I hope I may be permitted to quote one illustration of the day in which this spontaneous mutual service has had far-reaching effects in promoting ENGLISH RECALL AID GIVEN DEWEY De‘bste in House of Lords Brings Out Inveresting Matter of History. abloids ¢ Ttems About “Litde Progress of the Campaign. Let us turn once again to the demo- cratic platform of 1912, four years ago, and read the following: “We demand a return to that sim- plicity and economy which befits a democratic government, and a reduc- tion in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the sub- stance of the people.” Is it sny wonder that the people | are turning to Charles E. Hughes and the republican party? Henry F. Meyer, returned from a tour of the state, reports many indica- tions of Nebraska going for Hughes. “I don't like to delude myself even in politics, but I am convinced Ne- braska will be for Hughes. At a ho- tel in Wood River, for instance, I was in a group of eighteen men, four of whom were democrats and out- spoken for Hughes.” The Riverview Improvement club, at a meeting held in Edward Rose- water school, = indorsed Dr. E. Holovtchiner, R. F. Williams, William A. Foster and R. J. Sutton for the board of education. The so-called “eitizens'” school board ticket was condemned on the charge that it was a “slate” prepared by three men in a dark room. The desperate efforts of democracy to use the forbidden names of frater- nal organization is evidenced by a cir- cular being sent out by G. W. Phillips, dated at Columbus, Neb, ostensibly on letter heads of “Execytive com- mittee of the Nebraska Woodmen." There is nothing on the letters to in- dicate what “Nebraska Woodmen” stands for in this instance, but the letter itself suggests it relates to “Woodcraft,” It does not state|good will between America and Eng- whether this reference is to Wood-|fand, In 1905 I had the honor of men of the World or the Modern and some dis- meeting Admiral Dawe‘v tinguished members of the American senate at dinner in Washington. Manila Incident. “On that occasion Admiral Dewey narrated to me in a voice and with gestures eloquently suggestive of the utmost graefulness the story of the way in which he had received invalu- able assistance from Captain Chiches- ter at Manila at a time of great anxi- ety. Admiral Dewey informed me that the presence at' Manila of the German cruisers with heavier dis- placement than that of American ships caused him to realize the grave char- acter of the danger menacing his country in the event of the German ships beginning the hostile action, of which he at that time had reason to be apprehensive. 'He described how the whole American fleet watched in silent anxiety the visit of the German admiral to Captain Chichester's ship and the intense relief with which the saw, shortly after the German ad- miral's return to his own ship, his majesty’'s ships under Captain Chi- chester's command hoist their anchors and shift their anchorage to a position which placed them in the direct line of fire between the German and the American ships. “No action has ever done more to promote the friendly feelings of one Woodmen of America. The circular is in behalf of the candidacy of Ed- gar Howard of =~ Columbus, who is therein labeled a “friend of Wood- craft.” Chairman Howell of the republican county committee has varied ex- periences, but here is one which prompted him to take a second look at the visitor.

Berlin, Oct. 9~'Summer time," first tried this year in Germany, should not only be retained in future years, but should begin early in April with the gutting back of the clock’s hands one hour, in the opinion of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. The Cham- ber of Commerce, which ‘investigated the working of the new scheme at the request of the. Prussian government, finds that it affected a great saving in {llumination and, probably, a bet- terment of the health of the general working public. It is recommended that hereafter the change be made on the first Sunday in April, as calcu- lated to bring about the least disturh- ance in the business and industrial world. The return to normal time would also be made on the last Sun- day in September.
