Well Known Washington Newspaper Man and Gridiron Club Leader. WASHINGTON. April 11. John S. Shriver of the Washington Bureau of the Baltimore American and secretary of the Gridiron Club died in Baltimore WASHINGTON', April 11.

That the situation between the United States nd Germany is raDidlv becoming trained is the opinion hre in the licrht of recent communications from offi-1 cial German sources with respect to i the policy and action of the Washington government. The latest note from Germany chiding this government for permitting the sale of arms and munitions to the allies while not insisting on its neutralty rights with regard to the allies' interference with trade with Germany is re-carded as the most serious development In this connection. Others have been the repeated charges that American manufacturers were making dum dum and other cruel bullets for the allies; that submarines for Knsland are being built in this country: that the United States authorities at San Juan acted in bad faith and contrary to international law in preventing the liner Odenwald from leaving that port without clearance papers and finally a few days ago an official statement from Berlin that upon Great Britain must rest the responsibility for the loss of all lives in the torpedoing of the British steamer Falaba by a German submarine. Believed Settled Plan. Now comes the sweeping indictment of the general policy of the United States amounting practically to a charge of insincerity against this government in its dealings with the bel ligerents in the present war.

In all quarters here it is found impossible not to group all these complaints from Germany together, and it is admitted that they have a significance which can hardfy be overlooked. The most conservative opinion is that tha German government has turned its i peculiarly aggressive character of diplomacy to bear upon the United Slates government for purposes of its own. It- has been particularly noted by officials here that the German official communication seems to reach the pross about as quickly as they do the State Department. This has given rise to the impression tl.at the authors of these statements and communications are expecting to achieve the results they desire more by the of influencing the public mind in this country than by force of argument addressed to the government itself. Charges Not Substantiated.

Not any of the charges brought by the Germans against the United States government have yet been substantiated. The case of the Odenwald has not yet been fully disposed of and the United States has not yet sent to Germany any representations regarding the death of Leon C. Thrasher in the sinking of the Falaba, but it may be positively asserted that the off nores in these two matters will express the exact opposite of the German statement on these subjects. Equally positive and contradictory of the German contentions will be the reply to the latest note, in which complaint Is made regarding ihe exportation of arms and the negotiations with England. The administration considers itself wholly prepared to answer Germany in regard to the sale of arms and munitions by Americans to the a'lies.

Ger many will be reminded that it would be an unneutral act tor this government to- stop the exportation of arms and munitions at this time even if it had the power and also that it is not the fault of the United States government that Germany has not access to the American sources of war supplies. Reasoning Faulty. The German authorities are contending that th-i United States is prolonging the war by permitting the exportation of arms, but it is not explained by Germany how an embargo would shorten the war. since Germany would be able to Sght just as lorg and as well, as it would b-j unaffected by any embargo. With equal positiveness the administration is prepared to refute the charge that it has not insisted on its I rights in regard to the British maritime policies which nave resulted in inter- fere nee with American trade.

Officials here consider that as a legal document today, aged 58, after a long illness. He was one of the most prominent of the Washington correspondents and had been a member of the Gridiron Club for 30 years and its secretary for at least 10 years. Mr. Shriver was born in 1S.77 in Baltimore. Early in life he began the publication of a boys' newspaper which attracted the attention of "Oliver Optic," who dedicated one of his books to his young friend.

The statement is being circulated here that federal officials are more pr less involved in the bona fide violations. The result has been, it is said, that British warships have obtained not only supplies but information frdm New York and other points on the North Atlantic coast. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Peters went to New York this week to investigate the situation and a further inquiry is quietly progressing.

alone Seem Bryan. It became known today that Collector Malone of New York was in Washington yesterday, but he did not visit the Treasury Department. He visited Secretary Bryan and returned to New York. Neither did Mr. Peters, whenihe went to Washington earlier in the week, confer with Mr.

Malone. It is now being asserted that German ships have in the past enjoyed the benefits of services rendered Horn American ports in violation of the regu lations of this government. In one b.p-parently well-informed quarter this is assigned as tne reason wny ine ucr- man Ambassador has not taken up the recent charges involving Britain ith the Department of State lest an investigation reveal the fact that there hive been violations in the interests of the Germans as well as the British. Attention is called to the irregularity with which naval vessels have been engaged in neutrality patrol duty off New York and other harbors. Criminal Laxity Charged.

The statement is made that the withdrawal of the extensive naval patrols instituted last summer was due to treasury officials who represented that the use of warships was quite unnecessary and that the vessels of the doast guard service were competent to with the situation. In this connection it is charged that subordinate off cers of, the treasury marine service uve been guilty of laxity in connection with the supplying of British warships. It is recalled that recently the Cavy Department was called on for war ships for neutrality patrol dutj-. The 'gunboat Dolphin was suddenly sent up to New York from Washington, followed by the assignment of a destroyer. The cruiser Brooklyn was hauled out of the Boston navy yard and assigned to similar duty off Boston Harbor.

"With the church people the liquor question is only one of principle; with the liquor people it is their living, their bread and butter. Take the revenue off of liquor and the booze question will be settled, for where there is no financial interest there will be no fight. Rally at Second Church.

In the Second Presbyterian Church one of the largest audiences which has gathered here this year heard the pastor, the Rev. Dr. George W. Shelton at the regular evening service urge voters to support the pending local option measure, and at the conclusion of the service a majority stayed for an after meeting in the lecture room, where State Representative J. W.

Vickerman used the same subject for an address. Dr. Shelton's remarks were addressed particularly to the men, whom lie asked to seek their representatives in the Legislature and give them their views on the bill. He also explained in detail what local option means, and stated that its obtainment inevitably will result in state-wide prohibition. lie said in part: Cannot Put Off Ittue Let.

the present Legislature ref ifiise vjill local option and the people stampede, two years hence, for pro hibition. If the lawmakers continue to stand between the liquor traffic and the wrath of the people tliey must be put out of power. If tjhls bill passes three-fourths of the counties will vote "dry" the first opportunity 'thev have. When a legislator tells you he is for state-wide prohibition and not for local oni on. put it down he is dodging the issue.

This Legislature should pass the Williams local option bill; it Is fair and rensonable. We have waited long enough. At the second meeting Mr. Vicker man said in part: Not since the days of the Civil War have the people of this state been so wrought up as they are now upon the question of local jop-rlon Brumbausch. bv his fear less stand to compel the Legislature to give the voters the right to settle this question at the polls, has struck a sympathetic chord in tne heart of the people.

Evangelist Closes Successful Campaign in Swissvale. The Rev. Dr. William W. Hall of the Pittsburgh conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who holds the title of conference evangelist, and whose home is in Swissvale, last evening closed a six weeks' evangelistic campaign in his home town.

The meetings were held in a large tabernacle. The evangelist has succeeded in practically filling the big auditorium almost nightly, and with the accessions reported at the meeting of last evening there is a list of from "MO to 1.600 converts. Yesterday in each of his three sermons Dr. Hall called attention to the local option fight now on at Harris-burg, and his approval of the measure evoked the hearty commendation of his audiences. The services were in the nature of a farewell for Dr.

Hall and his five co-workers. problem so far presented, and lastly, because now- is the time to work for the redemption of Pennsylvania. Mutt Stand Together. Attorney Kinnear said the most prominent institution in Pennsylvania was the saloon, and that in Allegheny county in 1913 sw.wo.wu was spent lor liquor. It was not so much the money, Mr.

Kinnear declared, as the cost in ruined manhood, it being necessary that 1.W.000 young men become drunkards each year to pay the liquor bill. In Mr. Gillespie's talk. Congressman Barchfeld's argument against the local option bill again was held up to criticism, the speaker declaring German-Americans were not to be deprived of their personal liberty any more than home-grown Americans. Irish-Americans, or any other kind of Americans." Mr.

Oillespie also expressed astonishment that R. J. Mc-Grath. of the Iron City Trades Council should speak against local option, because, he said, "the fundamental principle of trades unionism is the referendum, and local option Is referendum in reference to the liquor question." Tribute Paid Governor. "Getting the People's was the topic chosen by Dr.

Harris, and by anecdote and story he illustrated how the people were becoming awakened and how they would show their will at the polls. "Taxation without representation was what our forefathers fought against; today we' have damnation without representation and we intend to get representation to do away with this damnation," said Dr. Harris. "And -when our Governor, one of our United States senators and other of our lawmakers and educators stand together on this question, I believe Mr. Politician, we have come to a place where you can do as you please about what pleases the people, and God and you." High tribute was paid Gov.

Brumbaugh by Dr. Watters, the next speaker, who declared the Governor had promised he would lead the light in behalf of local option before his election, and had bravely started to carry out his pledwe almost as soon as he reached Harrisburg. He also paid tribute for the support given the Governor by "one or our United States senators," by J. Denny O'Xeil and other leatiers. Councilman Dilllnger, the last speaker, took issue with a statement that political parties were at fault, and that to politics might be attributed the blame for the extent of the liquor evil.

"Political questions are not uppermost in this matter." declared the speaker. "The political parties are not at fault, it is the churches. The churches have been asleep. Next to the duty of saving souls it is the duty of ministers to waken the church members and the voters in the church so the protest against the British orders 2:30, and which raged with great violin council could not nave been made ence, delayed them. any more vigorous or positive; that the "Grandma" Hoffman, besides walking Continued from Firx Face.

extended "good wishes" to Representative Mearkle. The resolutions adopted at the East Liberty meeting, which will be forwarded to members of the Legislature and Gov. Brumbaugh, were as follows: Resolved, That we heartily indorse the siand of our Governor, Martin Brumbaugh, on the question of local option, and that we earnestly urne our representatives in both branches of the Legislature to vote and support the Williams local option bill. And further, be it Resolved, That we pledge the members ot the Legislature our un- i divided assistance in their action in favoring this bill, so necessary and important to the welfare of the people of Pennsylvania and to the interests of the kingdom of God Battle Cry for Temperance. A feature of the rally was the selection of songs' written especially for local option workers.

Probably the most popular certainly the one which? was sung with greatest volume was set to the music of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary." The first verse had to do with Gov. Brumbaugh's edict that local option must win the day, and after a lusty chorus and second verse, ended up: Rally round the Gov'ner, men.

His first reason, he said, was because of the evil done by the saloon to the body politic; his second, liecause science had shown liquor's poisonous effect on the body: third, that is was an economic question because it cost lives and touched the poeketbook of the commonwealth; fourth, because the home in the commonwealth hi.s the right to protection, and the liquor evil has invaded half of the homes in Pennsylvania; fifth, because the world is advancing, 18 states having gone dry, land Pennsylvania does not want to 'be in last place; stxth, because local option is the best solution of the liquor line, almost every morning, gives fur- Slake Pennsylvania dry, ther evidence of her robust health by Let shout and sing, "Saloons must working industriously with her Make this our battlecry chickens and her garden Her home ham Wella presided and the consists of a comfortable house on 12 acrls of ground, and she and her son speakers were the Rev Dr. Mc-w-ttThi. wife have occupied it 3G years.
