SAYS WAiMS WRONG SUYINfl Of NATION WORSE TRAN SMPLEAIIROER BRYAN EXPLAINS CAUSE Kx-8®crct»rjr Says Prmeat War ia the “Oauaelaw War" and Shows That Karh Ruler Declared He W'anted no War—Preparedness Drought < Convulsion In Kurope, He Argues. William Jennings Bryan's promis ed second Installment of his "Causo- les* War” essay was issued Tuesday. After denouncing the strife raging In Europe and declaring that all wars are waged for selfish ends, he directs pointed shafts at those who advo cate preparedness as the best in surance for peace. He also praises President Wilson’s efforts for peace. The statement follows: "The conflict now raging In Eu rope has been described as the ‘cause less war,’ but since no one could be bold enoifh to lay the blame for such an unholy situation upon ant overruling Providence, It must And Its origin in acts for which man. and man alone, is responsible. "ft is not a race war; on the con trary, the racers are quite inexpli cably mixed. Latin joins with Saxon; the Frank is the ally of the Slav; while in the opposing ranks, Teuton and Turk fight side by side. "Neither Is It a religious war. On the Bosporus the Cross and the Crescent make common cause, Pro testant kaiser and Catholic emperor have linked their fortunes together and hurl their veteran legions against an army in which are indiscriminate ly mingled communicants of the Greek Church, of the Church of Rome and of the Church of England. •Tfor yet Is It a rivalry between families. The leading actors in this unprecedented tragedy are related by blood, but kinship acemn to be a neg llglble factor—It explains neither friendship nor enmities. No race, re ligion or family, each with many wars to answer for,' can plead not guilty In the present inquiry. So far as can be judged, there appears upon the surface no cause that by aay known standard can be regard ed as adequate for such a cataclysm as we are now witnessing. . "The notes that passed from then cellery to chancellery were couched In most friendly language. Those notes could not have been Intended to deceive. Sovereigns visited each other and wars received with every ice of cordiality and good will, hospitality could not have been **Bsrh ruler declared that lie <ti<! not want war. WoaM they all aay Ihia If an adequate rauee for war had actually existed? They have all de nied responsibility for the war. Would they have done co If they had regarded the war as either necessary •r desirable? "It Is inconceivable It would be a gross libel on them—one and nil— to charge such n wanton disregard of their sacred duty. “What, then, was the cause? If I have correctly analysed the situa tion, the war Is ?. natural result of a false philosophy. Theories of life a T e invisible, but they control for good or for evil. They enter our very being, and may be as deadly to the moral man as germs of disease, taken into the body, are deadly to the physical man. The fundamental principle of this philosophy Is that might makes right •"Conquest is the word used to de scribe the means employed for secur ing the thing desired, if the force is employed by a nation, rnd.conquest violates the comniandmbrils—thou shalt not steal and thou shall not kill. “B> what sophistry can rulers con vince themselves that, while |»etlti Unuuy Is criminal, grand larceny Is patriotic; that, while It is reprehen. sIMe for one man to kill another for his money, it Is glorious for one na tion to put hi the sword the Inhabi tants of another nation in order to extend boundaries? “It is a mockery of moral distinc tions to hang one man for taking the life of another, either for money or in revenge, and then make a hero of another man who wades ‘through slaughter to a throne and shuts the doors of mercy on mankind.’ "As in the case of the individual, the violation of the commandments -—‘Thou shalt not covet,’ ‘Thou shalt not steal’ and ‘Thou shalt not kill’—- are ^usually traceable to the viola tion of the first and great command ment, ‘Thou shalt have no other gods before Me'^-that is, to the putting of self before service of Lhe Creator. "The violation of the command ments by nations is not always, but usually, due to selfishness-Mhe put ting of supposed material advantages before obedience to the divine law. “War is occasionally altruistic in purpose, and the soldier always ex hibits unselfishness of a high order; but, as a rule, conflicts are wagecV (or selfish ends. "If I have made it clear that the doctrine that might makes right is the most common cause of war, we may pass to the consideration of a _ maxim quite sure to be applied in • war, namely, that ‘like cores like,* the theory upon which retaliation rests. “The two are so closely allied that * ft is almost inevitable that those who ^‘Indoree the former will resort to the latter—one represents the spirit-of evil,'the other Its most familiar mani festation. Retaliation is rivalry In Wrongdoing—ft neck and neck race toward the bottomless pit. And yet there are many believers In ike gos- >el of force who have brought tbem- eelves to think that eruelty could be by greater ernelty—that the to win as antagonist away > to to sarpMs him ▲benrdtty of ab- for arming itself, and wbat >• the pretext? There was • time'*when men openly advocated war so n thing to be desired; commended it to em generation aa a sort of tonic do tone up the moral system and prevent de generacy, but we have passed that day. Now all Join la the chorus for pence, »And how, according to the Jingoes, shaft peace be insured? " ‘By preparedness/ say these sons of Mars. Prepare all, prepare and equip yourselves with the mdst mod ern Implements of destruction; arm, drill, get ready and then stand with finger on a hair trigger musket and preserve peace—yes, preserve It until some one, by accident or design, gives the signal. Then fall upon each other with cries for blood. Pre paredness is the kindling, opportuni ty is the match. ‘‘We dare not trust the peace of the world to those who spend their time in getting ready for wars which should never come. Half the energy employed in preparing for war would effectually prevent war if used in propagating the principles which make for peace. "Instead of preventing war, pre paredness provokes war, because it Is ImiMissible to coerce the people into bearing the burdens incident to increasing and continuous prepara tion without cultivating hatred as if It were a national virtue. There must be some one to fear; some oth er preparing nation that must be represented as plotting for war. "Hate sets up sham standards of honor and converts every wound into a festering sore; hate misunder stands; hate ntlslnterprets; bate ma ligns Us supposed adversary, while every lontractor, every battleship builder and manufacturer of muni tions of war applauds. "How can preparedness prevent war if all prepare? Each step taken by one nation toward more complete preparedness excites the other na tions to additional purchases and new levies until all have exhausted their productive Industries and menaced their moral progress. “The doctrine that iireparednenn s 111 prevent war will not stand the tent of logic, and the conflagration In Europe shows that it falls when tested by experience. . "If any nation is without excuse /pr enterlng into a mad rivalry-with. Hie belligerent nations in prepara tion for war. It Is the United States. We are protected on each side by thousands of miles of ocean and this possession is worth more to us than any number of battleships. We have an additional protection In the fact, known to every one. that wo have the men with whom to form an army of dqfenee if we are ever attacked and it Is also known that we have the money, too, more money than we ever would have had if all the sur plus earnings of the people had been Invested In armament. We not only do not need additional preparation, bat we are fortunate in not having it Blare it seems impossible for a nation to have what is called preparedness without having along with It a dis position to use Its preparedness on the slightest provocation. “The leading participants in the present war are the nations that were best prepared, and I fear It would have been difficult for us to keep out of this war If we had been as well prepared as they. "Happy for <>ur nation that we have at this time a president who be lieves In setting the whole world a good example. Instead of following the bad example which it sets in this matter. What an unspeakable mis fortune It would hrvo been if, in such an hour as this, this nation had been under the leadership of a presi dent Inflamed by the false philosophy which has plunged Europe into the abyss of war.” ' 'H ADVANCE DOES ON TEUTONS TAKE 122,000 CAP* TW^mE^UNEf MEDIATION BRYAN’S PLEA; MAY END EUROPEAN WAR ient Is- RUSSIANS FALLING BACK Tided and Concluding Mtatenv Washington Friday. Former Secretary. Bryan, In the third and concluding section of his statement on "tho causeless war,” is sued Friday, suggests mediation as the “way out.” An .jp preventative of war, Mr. Bryan proposes universal extension of his Investigation com mission peace treaty plan. “Medlntlop,’’ the statement says, “is the means provided by the inter national agreement, through which the telligerent nations can be brought into conference; time for investigation of all disputes is the means by which future wars can be averted, r.nd the cultivation of inter national friendship is the means by which the desire for war can be root ed out.” In elaborating his plan for restora tion of peace, Mr. Bryan urges that neutral nations in advocating peace crystalize sentiment in fpvor ot peace into a coercive force and offer medi ation jointly or severally; that the warring nations join in a treaty to Russian retirement northward into provide for investigation “by a per- Poland would divert Occ. Linslngen’r manent international commission of Herious Fighting In Front of Lem berg Attracts Attention of World’s Onlookers—Russians Admit Ix»ss of Villages In Baltic Provinces— Germans Claim 40,000 IMsoners. The fight in Galicii has developed nothing to stem the Austro-German advance toward Lemberg, and Ber lin claims the Russians are retreat ing over their own frontier toward Tarnogrod, four miles from the Gall <;ian border. This means an invasion of Russian territory at a new point, but, ac cording to military observers in Lon don, it may spell ultimate advantage for the Russians in that a general attempt to crush the Russian front near Zurawna, which would sever the communications of tho Russian army in southeastern Galicia and Buko- wina. The military writers say the real danger zone from the Russian standpoint is in the Zurawna district and along tho Dniester. According to Berlin the Austro- German forces have battered through Nlemerow, thirty miles northwest of Lemberg, and are advancing toward Jaworow, which is only twenty-five miles west of the Gr.llcian capital. Three great masses of Austro-Ger- mans are sweeping from the. San to ward the capital, and the prediction is made that the decisive battle, if one is fought, will take place In the vicinity of Grodek, where military observers believe the Russians should benefit by tho lake country. mtnim imi g Tire TTnTomjrec'"or tffe Austro-German succc ses In Galicia, acclaim what Is styled the Grand Duke Nicholas’ elusive strategy in | shifting his front from north and south to northwest and southeast. This manoeuvre, it Is asserted, has deflected the Austro-German blow to some extent, and at tho same time denied to {hom a full test of strength. Gen. von Markensen. according to dispatches, has given himself a fort night In which to capture Lemberg, and it would seem that, at the rate his anJ co-ordinato forces are going forward, this time limit will be ample If the Russians are unable to initiate a staffer resistance than, they are showing now. Vienna reports: “In Galicia the Russians, despite their obstinate re sistance, could not withstand the gen eral attack by the allied armies. Hot ly pursued by our victorious troops, the remainder of the defeated Rus sian corpe are retreating across New- know. Lubacsow -nd Javorow “South of the l^mberg railroad the army of Gen. Boehm-Ermolli Tuesday night stormed tho Rnaslan positions on the entire front, driving the enemy across Badowa-Wisznla and Rudki. " South of Dniester the fighting proceeds near the bridgehead.

Constantinople reports Thursday via Berlin, by wireless' to Sayville, Friday: An Inspection of the Turkish positions at Avi Rurnu, on the west coast of Gallipoli peninsula, made by a correspondent of the Associated Press, shows that the British have lost mostiof the ground formerly held in that district.

The British troops have little water, and they are without shelter from the sun. The correspondent was reliably in formed that the British fleet has tak en refuge from German submarines in Kefala Bay. on the northeast coast of Imbros Island, about ten miles from the Gallipoli coast. The Brit- ihs ships could be seen from heights on shore at anchor in tlje bay. On three occasions the Turks have been successful in exploding mines under British vessels in their place of refuge. ; * Turkey Wants Separate Peace.

In the evening the Rus sians everywhere had been driven from their positionr. near Gieplice. north of Sieniawa. in the Lubsyow in the Lubsyow-Suwalawka sector, southwest of Niemerow and west of Sodowa-Wiczenia. The enemy is be ing pursued. "Gen. Maczenzen’s army has cap tured upwards of forty thousand men and sixty-nine guns since June 12. "Between the Dniester marshes and Zurawna the Russians have gain ed some ground, but tho general sit uation there has not changed.” Petrograd reports Tuesday: “The German ttacha for the past three days around the village of Litzkoff near the Windau river have been un successful and the fighting Tuesday ended in our favor.. In the region of Popcliary our troops crossed the Ven- ta. In pursuing the enemy our cav alry sabred hundreds of Germans and made some dozens of prisoners. “The fighting near Shavlicon tinues with various fortunes. Some villages fell Into the enemy’s hands.

With a big list to port r.nd ajl her pumps working at full pressure, the steamer Turnwell steamed into tho port of Milford Haven, Wales, Thurs day after having surrendered to a German Bubmarine. tho crew of which had exploded bombs in her hold. The escape of the ste-.mer was due to the fact that the submarine's cap tain did not remain long enough by the Turnwell to make sure of the ef fectiveness of the bombs. The Turnwell, which Is a vessel of forty-two hundred sixty-four tons, left Liverpool June 15 for New York. She was Overhauled by the subma rine thirty miles off the Pembroke shire coast Wednesday and her crew ordered to take to their boats. The Germans boarded the Turn- well, exploded the bombs and then hurriedly put off, having sighted the Britisl coasting steamer Trafford, a vessel of two hundred and thirty- Jour tons, which they pursued and sank. The Turnwell’s crew then re turned to their ship, plugged the holes m;,de by the bombs as best they could, started the pumps and made all possible speed for the near est port.- On the way the Turnwell picked up the crew of the Trafford.
