WILSON OFFERS "GOOD OFFICES" THE UNITED STATES WOULD ASSIST IN THE SECURING OF PEACE POWERS NOTIFIED If Germany Accepts a Solution V Satisfactory to AU IVBay Be \ Reached Without War ti tl (B*r Associated Press.) Washington, August >>?-President Wilsen toduy formally offered the ser vicos of the United States government VJ the warring nations of Europe should they desire to discuss terms of peace. He tendered what technically is phrased aa "good offices," which, if accepted in principle, would bo follow ed by a conference of representatives of the powers ot Europe, in which the United States would play the role of mediator. Under The Hague convention, to which all European nations except Servia are signatories, a neutral nat ion is urged in time of international conflict, to tender her. good offices to contending powers. Acting under the terms of The Hague convention, the president cabled Emperor William o? Germany; Emperor Nicholas, of Hus sta; Emperor Francis Joseph, of Aus tria; King George, of Great Britain and President Poincare, of France as follows: "As official head of one of the pow ers signatory to The Hague conven lion, 1 feel it to be my privilege ano my diity under article 3 of that con vention to say to you in a spirit of most earnest friendship that I should welcome an opportunity to act in the interest ot European peace either now or at any' other time that might be thought more suitable, as occasion to serve you and all concerned In a way that would, afford me lasting cause for gratitude and happiness. (Signed) "Woodrow Wilson." The proffer of good offices was for warded vby- Secretary Bryan to the American embassies in the nations In volved and throgh them transmitted io the governments. May Have Ko Effect. It was said at the white house no intimations had been received that such an offer would be favorably re ceived. President Wilson took the po sition that the European war waa so stupendous and that ita effect on the entire world was liable to bs so last ing that the United States, as one of the few large neutral powers, could 'not do otherwise than at least offer to be the means for bringing about , peace. The proffer of good offices was not sent to the governments of Servia and Montenegro because -those countries are not parties to Tho Hague conven tion. . Late today Secretary Bryan sum moned all European diplomata in the city and gave them a copy of the tele gram in the hope that they would transmit it to their, governments and urge acceptance of the tender. The Austrian ambassador, representatives . of the British, Russian, German and French embaasles and Belgian lega tion, called at the department^ i HUH Clone Too F?r. Mr. Bryan delivered Abe message to representatives of the legation of the Netherlands and other countries - not directly involved aa a matter of Infor matlon to their foreign offices. Some of the diplomata told newspaper men they believed ' the situation had gone ? too far to be halted by mediation. The Austrian' ambassador thought, now ever, a sudden turn in the war might influence an acceptance. The offer of the United States wa* made after many days or careful con alderatloh. by the "President and cabi net. From the first the: Idea has been . 'lo the minds of administration officials , out as long- aa European nations, were endeavoring to adjust the' situation Mr. Wilson thought lt waa the trad! ?ional duty of the American govern ment not to lnterfore. ?When virtually all Europe suddenly became Involved andHhe United States JU4 For ??ure?

He wrote the brief ote, sent it to Secretary Bryan, who rornptly approved, and late last night ie messages were sent to Europe. Up t0 the Km per or I From the character of inquiries lade by American diplomats of their wn Initiative, the prospect for an ac cidence by som? of the European na ntis was considered bright. Great ritaln and her allies, it is believed, dil accept, but no assurance - lins ame from Germany. Should the cm eror agree, it Is thought the entire ?tuation would be settled by paclUc leans and a great war averted. The central theme of mediation, bich is to suspend hostilities wit limit casing military preparations and dis hes peuce in a conciliatory spirit is noodled in 20 peace treaties drafted >. Secretary Bryan which were re orted favorably by the senate com illtee on foreign relations today. Ae on was taken ut this time with the ope of exerting a moral influence for eace in the present situation. The -eatles would provide an internatiou 1 commission to investigate causes isputes within a period of six months r more before resorting to arms. Tiie president and Mr. Bryan waited might answers to their messages to lurope, which difficulties in communi atlon may delay several days. Some ountrles, it was pointed out, may pur. osely delay their answers until later i the conflict. .The president's offer ?aves it open to them to accept, if not ow, ut any time as the situation de elops. John Barrett, director general of lie Pan-American Union, told thc resident he could count on the hearty upport of South American nations in mvarding mediation.

Senator Smith Urges the People J To Stand Together in the Crisis j i Caused by the War (Special to The Intelligencer.) Chesterfield, Aug. 5.-Senatorial :andidatcs here today met the most lemonstrative crowd of the entire ; :ampaign. Tho meeting was practi :ally void of any semblance of heck- ( lng and partisans were stinted in ( heir enthusiasm' for the different i :andidates. Senator Smith and W. P. Pollock . vere the favorites In the quartette. The senator was hauled to the court louso again today astride a bale of :otton, the wagon being drawn by six ? nulcB. Mr. Pollock was on his na- j ive heath and had many admirers in i .he audience. At the conclusion of IIH Bpeoch a gold headed cane w^t* - ^resented to tho Cheraw candidate. In acknowledgement. Mr. Pollock ( sromiaed that he would continue to j jrandish the big stick, breaking the i sead of Ulensisni in every county in ho state. Smith's Plea for Union. Senator Smith, who spoke first to- 1 lay, announced that he would go to Washington Saturday to urge that the regional reserve bank system be put . in operation at once, that farmers may be able to hold their cotton while cot ton is BO disorganized. Ile would go, tic said, not as u candidate for the United States senate, but as a cotton grower. He pleaded that all factional differ ences bo forgotten and for united ef forts to withstand the threatened de moralization of business througout the country. It WOB only through un ion, he urged, that anything could bo accomplished. The senator introduced a now fea-, turc in his speech today when he pointed out that the cost of bagging und ties had been cut practically in half aB a consequence of the investi gation of the bagging and tie trust. Senator Smith said that it was he who Introduced tho resolution that this investigation should be mude. The three remaining speakers made ' their talks from a wagon in front of the courthouse, that all might have the opportunity of her/lng. Governor Blouse said today that ho bad.not said a word for or against any man's candidacy for governor. He was fighting no man's fight. Ho had begged no man to run. However, when it came to the second race, and there should be a Blease man In thia, the governor said !n that event, he would consume every minute of his two week's time in the Dler.se man'a interests. His machine cost hun nothing, he said as each commit teeman paid his own railroad fare and hotel bills. .In defending the parole system, the chief1 executive said, this was the most effective Keely cure yet discovered. He had not heard, he said, of a man'a taking another drink when the man has been released on the condition that .he let whiskey alone. L. D. Jennings made his usual speech ' pointing to the particular cases of pardoning which have cre ated so much interest recently, the Richey case in Abbeville and the Em merson case in* Anderson. Mr. Jen nings said that there was not a blind tiger in South Carolina who wasn't working night and day for the govern or. The same was true,'he said, with reference to the race track gam blers. if it were not for thc benefit of these, they would not be lined up so unanimously, Mr. Jennings explained. This candidate' 'prophesied that Bleaselsm would be swept from South Carolina Into eternal defeat on Aug ust 25, despite the political machine ot which the governor had boasted. The governor got a gold handled umbrella today from admirers In this part of the state. This was delivered by T. W. Belk, who In his remarks, referred to W. P. Pollock, the can didate from Cheraw. Mr. Pollock an swered this by characterising the aforesaid Belk as a "magnificent spec imen of a long eared qusdriped with skinned tall swinging.on to the coat? tails of Cole L, Blease which I have already cut off." j This speaker made his usual scath ing arraignment of the governor's re cord and was heartily, applauded by the Chesterfield crowd. On each- stump. Mr. Pollock has been displaying the spread-eagle Re publican ticket of 1880, which con tains the name ' of J. 1*. Gibson of Bennettsvllle, along with those of sev eral negroes of radical time fame. It was rumored here today that Col. Gibson was chafing under this, and that some little mix-up may be expedi ted when the ticket is flaunted at Bennettsvllle Friday. Mr. Pollock says that he will, not vary his speech in the slightest to suit the convenience of anyone, and those who know hun best take him at his word. Blease on Peonage. In his speech at Camden, Mr, Pol lock stated that there ls virtually a J state of peonage In South Carolina,' pardoned convicts working on the I farms of people throughout the state. ? Governor Blease today challenged ( the United States district attorney, t Francis K. Weston, tri make an offic ial Investigation, for peonage is a vio lation of tho United States laws. The governor said he; would grant a full pardon to any paroled prisoner lu or der to gat any evident.* on the sub ject. . . g?*oiiiicai Anm FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR I hereby announce myself a candi late for county supervisor, subject to he Democratic primary.
