SAYS U.S. NOT HOSTILE GERMANY AND AMERICA SHOULD BE FRIENDS. Dr. Meyer-Gerhard Thinks Germans and Yankees Merely Misunder* stand Each Other. ^ Berlin, July 1.--Dr. Anton Meyer- Gerhard, special envoy of Count Bern- storff to the kaiser, published an ar­ ticle in Der Tag on Tuesday explain­ ing the views of the United States regarding the Lusitania case. "Germany and the United States misunderstand each other." That is the gist of the article. Doctor Gerhard adds that "German efficiency is making friends for the fatherland in the United States every day." "It is true," says Dr. Meyer-Gehard. "that the American press, with some laudable exceptions, especially the German-American papers, have not succeeded in remaining neutral, but the influence of the press upon public opinion is sometimes greatly overesti­ mated. Doubtless large sections of the American people are friendly to­ ward Germany, whose efficient organi­ zation is daily winning friends and arousing interest in things German. "One excellent effect of the war is upon German-Americans, who, with­ out sacrifice of their loyalty to their adopted country, have shown strong remembrance of their descent, their education and their culture. Beside them,, on the other side of the ocean, there are wide circles who sympa­ thize with Germany." WILSON WONT SEE ANGELES Envoys of Mexican Leader Reach President's Summer Home at Cornish, N. H.

Vessel Attacked by Undersea Craft Off Traverse Head, Cornwall-^- Carried Cargo of Mules. Washington, July 2.--The British- owned steamship Armenian of the Leyland line was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-38 20 miles west of Trevose head, Cornwall. England, on Tuesday night, and a number of Americans were lost. The information came in dispatches to the state department. The official count says that 29 men were lost and ten injured and gives a lise of American citizens, white and colored, who were crossing with the ship. , The Armenian sailed from Newport News June 17 with a cargo of horses consigned to Avonmoutli, west coast of England, for the English army. The facts in the case as obtained from Consul Armstrong at Bristol and all the information obtainable here as to the character of the vessel were telegraphed to the president at Corn­ ish, N. H. State department officials do not re­ gard the information now at hand as sufficient on which to express an opin­ ion and especially on which to make Intelligent representations to Ger­ many. The department therefore cabled to Ambassador Page to send on at once all the detatls he could secure. The main point in the case of the Armenian is whether she is an actual member of the British navy as a troop ship or horse ship. She could be such, either by having been taken over by the government itself for that purpose or by the government itself having chartered the ship, and therefore mak­ ing it a warship subject to attack on sight by German war vessels.

The ambassador suggested that the Americans who were lost with the Armenian appeared therefore to h&ve been members of her crew. The incident being the first involv­ ing American lives sinr» the sinking of the Lusitania, created considerable stir in official circles, but no one in authority would say, pending receipt of official facts in the case, what ef­ fect it would have on the negotiations between this country and Germany.

FORMER DICTATOR OF MEXICO AT AGE OF EIGHTY-FIVE FAMILY AT BEDSIDE. 5* I EXILED FROM NATIVE LAND Ex-President Ruled ̂ ftepubllo for Thlfv * ty-Flve Yearo--Fought Against th* United States--Fled During Madero . .Revolution. "v *' (jParis. July 5.--Gen; Porftrlo Diaa, former president of Mexico, died here on Friday. General Diaz's wife, Senora Carmea Romero Rubio DLaz, ajid their son, Porflrio Diaz, Jr., and the tatter's wife, were at the bedside. . •' About three weeks ago General Diaz began to fail rapidly and while his death was not unexpected, owing to his advanced age and recent fail­ ing health, the crisis came suddenly Friday afternoon. Colonel Diaz, Jr., in announcing the death of his father, said that he was unable to state the nature of malady, but expressed the opinion that the cause was a complica­ tion of diseases, due to advanced age. Porflrio DiaZ was Mexico when there was a Mexico. When on May 31, 1911, he fled the western hemi­ sphere txi the face of Francisco I. Madero's rising revolution, Mexico started on the wild orgy of disin­ tegration that now is spending it- eel f in anarchy. Loosed from the iron band, the nation blew up. Before Theodore Roosevelt was born Diaz v*as an apostle of the Big Stick and Its effective accompaniment of the soft voice. For 35 years be ruled Mexico, all of that time, with the ex­ ception of four years, as its president. Under his dominance the country was au inviting spot for American capital, an in\raslon which be encouraged with ttt<? wisdom of a statesman and a true economist. His military career, however, had begun when he took up arms against the United States. Diaz was born at Oaxaca September 15, 1830. His mother was an Indian and his father was of old Spanish lineage. The fa­ ther died when Porflrio was three years old, and he was educated at the expense of the bishop of Oaxaca. He intended to become a priest, but when the war with the United States broke out he enlisted, at the age of sixteen. At a time when defeat meant death young Diaz cast his lot with Juarez in the revolution whieh in 1854 brought about the downfall of Santa Ana, the one-legged dictator. His study of military science stood him well, and his campaigns were a succession of victories until, in 1876 he marched into the City of Mexico at the head of 12,000 men and was elected president of the republic al­ most unanimously. Assuming the presidency again in 1884, he remained in office until his resignation to 1S11.
