embassy at noon. today, gave the cor
respondent OF The Associated Press the
! following statement: We have receiv-
ed from the foreign office an account
Of the latest conflict in Samoa. The
German government expressed sympa-
| thy and took occasion to urge the
adoption Of the unanimity rule in the
| findings of the Samoa commission in
order that the German commissioner
Baron Speck Won Sternburg might sail
for Samoa at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The German government urged
| that only The early arrival OF the COM
mission will prevent further serious
bloodshed. This morning. Baron Won
Buelow informs the American ambas-
sador that Great Britain has at last
agreed to the unanimity rule the
United States also agreeing and that
the commission can probably proceed
to the islands without delay"
The German press, this morning,
gives yesterdays news calmly and
mostly without comment. The Cologne
Gazette remarks: We need not say
that if the guilt of the manager of the
German plantation is proven. Germany
will approve of his arrest and demand
for his punishment. We will not de-
fend the behavior of German abroad
merely because he is German
The Cologne Gazette also admits that
DR.. Raffel Uhe German president of
the municipal council of Apia) acted
illegally in closing the chief Justices
office and says: THE other powers, we
hope, will also admit the illegal acts
Of their representatives.
The Tageblatt calls the arrest IF

which the ambuscade took place lille

competent Judge"
The Lokal AnZieger expresses the
opinion that the affair shows the need
of prompt action by the commission.

takes it viii find itself fully backed up
