Washington, April 25.-The German
government has entered a formal pro
test against the language used by Capt.
Coghlan of the Raleigh at the Union
League club banquet in New York,
last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Score
tary Hay through the German ambas-
sador, Herr Won Holleben. Secretary
Hay replied that the language ap-
peared to have been used at a dinner
in club. and so could not be regarded
as an official or public utterance in the
sense that would warrant the state de-
partment acting However, the navy
department was fully competent to
take such action as the case seemed
10 require With this statement the
ambassador was content for the time
ut least and will doubtless await a
reasonable length of time upon the
navy department There are semi
official limitations that the ambassa-
dor will not so much concern himself
with the course Of Capt Coghlan as
with the course Of the United States in
dealing with Coghlan The German
ambassador stated that the poem re-
cited by Capt Coghlan was too nasty
to bc noticed =
Views OF German Press
Berlin. April %. The afternoon
newspapers here contain few comments
upon Coghlan's remarks They gen
orally take a calm view of his after
pinner speech and consider the incident
closed particularly in view of the
semi-otiicial note announcing strong
iisapproval Of the United States secre-
tary with the captains conduct. The
Vossiche ZeiJung is an exception to the
rule and pronounced itself in favor of
demanding severe punishment for
Coghlau.
