Emneror Charles Tells the
Kaiser, Glemenceau's State
merit Is False ;.. .
Vienna- Via Amsterdam, April 13.
Complete: solidarity , exists between
Austrik aatirjna
jointly enforce, an honorable peace,"
t say$ 'Emperor-Caj'lea; - in a telegram
to Emperor.iWilliam denying the truth
of thev"declaration:made early in the
week. by "' Premier "Clemenceau of
Trance, that '-..the Austrian Emperor
recognizes France's -"claim to Alsace
Lorraine. ; V - f
It Is added, that the fact that Aus-tro-HungariaiT
troops are fighting for
Alsace-Lorraine -oa. the -Western . front
demonstrates rthe Emperor's faithful
ness to his. ally. The message' to Em
peror William 'reads: -
"The French, t Premier, driven into
"a corner, is endeavoring to escape
from the net Tri which he has entan
gled himself by piling up more and
more fintrulhs and he does not resi
tate to make the completely false
statement ..that- I recognized that
France had a just claim to the re
acquisition of Alsace-Lorraine. I dis
avow, this assertion -with' indignation.
"At. the moment when -Austro-Hun-garian
cannon ' are thundering joinly
with. -eGnnarr cannon on the Western
front" ifiiatdly; heeds" proof that I am
fighttog for these. -provinces, and I
am ready to' continue fighting exactly
as if it were a Question of defending
my own' land.
"Although .In face of this eloquent
proot and the full community of aims
for which,, for almost four years we
have "been waging war, I consider it
superfluous to waste even a word on
Premier Glemenceau's talse assertion,
I desire, nevertheless to take "this op
portunity, of .again assruing you of
the complete solidarity which exists
between you and me, and your em
pire and mine. .
"No intrigues, no attempts from
whomsoever they may proceed,, will
imperil our loyal comradeship of arms
and we shall jointly enforce an hon
orable peace." - -

Thomas J. Mooney, convicted on a
charge of murder growing out of the
San -Francisco Preparedness Parade
bomb explosion in July, 1916, will be
arraigned in court today to be re
sentenced to death. The fate of
Moooney will then-rest with Gov. Ste
phens; who has received many com
munications asking that pardon be
extended to Mooney in order that he
might be trie don one of the eight
murder charges remaining against
him. Chief among these communica

LEADERS VHO FAILED
TO GET A HEARI
Aftermath of the Two Politi
cal Conventions Held
' TEis Week . "
(Special -to The Dispatch.) - : !
, Raleigh, April a3ir-Eaal suffragists
have been extending vto Governor
BickettV hypothetically iand' telepath
ically, .their sincere -and heartfelt sympathy-
on .having gone unsuccessfully
against the platform at the Demdcratic
State convention. ,
. It Is true that Governor Bickett got
more than they, but in the ratio of
expectancy to acquisition , the Gover
nor has but little on them. ,v The
women hardly hoped for -a hearing.
They looked over platform possibili
ties, "Senator So-and-So, why he does
not even know, how to be polite," we
have tried him before, and then there
is Senator. Soft Soap, he will at least
know how to act." What the women
hoped for was not a suffrage expres
sion. They would have compromised
on the privilege to speak. And they
got.it. Relatively, they and - Bickett
took the same.
For the ladies ' have been telling
your correspondent today that they
have heard some things, too, and these
that their inter-convention champion,
Josiah William Bailey, and Governor
Bickett, were treated about as indif
ferently before that platform commit
tee as the women were. Where in
the thunder they heard these outra
geous domestic troubles, nobody can
guess, but these ladies Governor
Bickett and Collector Bailey, with
platforms as long as a candidate's
tongue, went before that committee,
something almost unprecedented, and
asked for things that they did not
get either in substance or shadow. It j
is very tantalizing to hear all this,
for nobody can learn from the plat
form committee what prayers went up
to it without answer.
It is probable that the women gath
ered wisdom from members of the
delegations who happened to be on
suffrage and other delegations. These
quote Cameron Morrison as somewhat
peeved that his cousin, Bickett, should
have presumed on the relationship ex
isting and handed Cam 'over a paper
to be read without doctoring in that
mellifluous voice of Mr. Morrison, aid
ed and abetted by a hunk of Picnic
Twist. The finished product of the
platform does not stack up well with
the rhythm and rhetoric of Bickett,
and it is a stranger to the Macaulay
like writing of Bailey. This is just
one of the several stories that these
tattling women are telling today and
there are others.
Why It Was Done.
It is the positive opinion of leading
Democrats here that Senator Sim
mons did not use either the telegraph
or the long distance Wednesday. What
inspires the popular opinion that he
did was the lobby talk that wen on all
day.
The war is unpopular, everybody
says. Woman suffrage is even more
ill-favored. There is John Motley
Morehead with a million dollar pres
tige, standing on a woman suffrage
platform and the beneficiary of a dis
content that his party in no wise
brought on. The platform committee
without any hesitation declared that
it sought to offer Senator Simmons
as much protection as the -failure to
offer an odious plank could give to
him. In other words, it is going out
to the State that equal suffrage is to
get no boosting by the Democrats be
cause it might hurt Mr. Simmons.
It is doubtless good strategy. There
is but a medium -of suffrage senti
ment. The convention was dead
against it, but the bourbons ruled
the convention. Then there was a
very respectable sentiment that would
admit women as soon as Germany has
been whipped to a finish and the
world restored to normal condition.
on't Like Republican Platform.
The Democracy did not like the
Republican platform. The general ad
mission was that it is better done
than most of them, tribute to Judge
Byniim and Clarence Pugh. The one
thing in it that universally pleased
was the whole-hearted pledge of loy
alty to the government.
And here the Republicans tell a lit
tle 3tory. They say Senator Butler
had nothing to do with this conven
tion and his hand is with great diffi
culty seen by Democracy's hant hunt
ers. But they say the Senator had a
little strategy of his own and he sug
gested that in pledging loyal support
to the government, the Republicans
might be putting themselves in a
hole; for "government" sometimes
means the "administration," Mr. But
ler is said to have remarked. But
the platform does not show him the
lease in its calculations
The Democrats feel better after
reading their own and the platform of
their opponents. The thought that di
rected the construction of the plat
form for the Democrats was more
Cam Morrison's than anybody else's,
and this makes something less than
50 State platforms written by the
Charlotte candidate for Governor. Mr.
Morrison could not go with his cous
in, Bickett, under a flagless party.
but he could promise to be Ca'm when
he discusses the issues. That was
the best thing in the whole platform.
An Expensive Draft Subject.
Chicago, April 12. The calling of
Grover Alexander into the army will
cost Charles H. Weeghman, president
of the Chicago Nationals,, $50,000.
Weeghman made this statement after
being informed that Alexander had
been drafted.
Soldiers and Sailors Get Comfort

STILL NO NEWSF
CAPTAIN ALBERT BARR
Army Officer Seems to Have
Completely Disappeared.
New-Berri News.; -
(Special to Dispatch) ,v ?,
A-rwT-ii is. There ,rnas
been .a rumor current in New; .Bern
to the effect that the body oi
r,noin Aiwt Li. Barr. who mysteri-
ously disappeared from Camp Sevier,
Greenville, S. a, several uay.
hA been found' at Greenville.
o - . k Trnnwri there is no
.,.44iAn - tn this rumor ana it is
xuuuuauuu . . .
believed to be idle gossip, m fact in
nnirv made of the officials at Green-
ville. failed to bring to light any new
facts in the case.
Captain Barr seems to have evapor
ated into thin air and all efforts of the
o,-,r nfFfofaift to locate him have
Droven of no avail whatever.
Impressive funeral services were
woiTicaiiav -moraine at 11 o'clock
nrsrt flu rted over the body of the late
Mr. Isaac A. Gray, who died at Nor
folk several days ago. The service
took place at the Tabernacle Baptist
church and was conducted Dy nev. a.
L. Swain, the pastor."
The deceased, who had made his
home. In New Bern for more than
four vears. He fought through the
War between the States and was In
the 22nd Ohio and 14h Kenucky Reg
iments.
He had many friends here and was
held in high esteem by all of these.
Those who heard Hon. J. W. Bailey
deliver an address at the Court House
in this city last Monday, night are
still talking about the powerful and
passionate plea which he made for
the Third Liberty Loan and so last
ing: an impression did the speaker
make that the committee in charge of
the campaign in Craven county is
planning to have another, speaker of
State-wide fame pay. the city a visit
within the course of the next week
or two and make an address on. this
important subject.
Dr. J. Y. Joyner, State Superinten
dent of Public Instruction and one of
the most noted educators , in the
South, will probably attend at the
Craven county commencement, which
is to be held in this city April 19, and
will deliver the principal address for
that occasion.
Governor T. W. Bickett had been
invited to come to New Bern on this
occasion but a previous engagement
made this impossible. Dr. Joyner has
been invited to attend the event and
the school authorities believe that he
will accept.
Mr. S. M. Brinson, superintendent
of public instruction in Craven coun
ty and who has in charge the ar
rangement for the event, stated to
day that all had been complee.d and
that when the visiting school chil
dren arrived in the city on the morn
ing of April 19, they would find ev
erything in readiness for the exer
cises which they intend to put on
during the course of the day.
GERMAN STRATEGY
STILL UNREVEALED
i
Amsterdam, April 13 The strat
egy of the German army supreme
command is still unrevealed, says The
Koelnische Volks Zeitung. . and will
be recognizable only in the course of
further operations. The paper dis
counts the "extremely foolish idea"
which it thinks may crop ud. that the
German thrust against the Anglo-Por
tugese front indicates that when the
offensive in Picardy could not be car
ried to success, the German comman
ders wished to try an experiment else
where.
The Frankfurter Zeitune reeards
the new thrust as a portion of a great
plan of attack and dwells on th
great strain put upon the enemy's
nerves by the necessity of making
dispositions in the greatest haste.
One of the most responsible posi
tions in the general offices of the At
chison, Topeka and Santa Railway
company is filled by a woman.
