made the following statement to the cor
respondent of the Associated Pre- 5:
The British now do not hold a single
vessel and no negotia atoms are now in
progress, since Germany has not yet for
mulated her claims for indemnity. In
vestigation is first necessary. and this Is
now proceeding. The feeling between
Great Britain and Germany Is growing
better, despite the efforts OF the tingoes
of both countries TO the contrary The
recent remarks must be understood as
meaning that Germany is aiming at con-
vening for the international settls msnt
of sea rights of neutrals before the end
of the war. As for all the talk about in
PREVENTION, it is baseless. No such in
tention exists anywhere

CAN'T LOSE MIR. MACRUM
Washington. Jan. 24.-The state depart
ment is finding it difficult TO repudiate
Mr.. Marcum. No less than three authorl-
tative statements have been issued to
the effect that Mr.. Marcum is not con-
sui TO Pretoria or in fact in the United
States consular service in any capacity.
yet it appears that he himself is under
a different impression. The fact that the
United States senate confirmed a sue
cessor to MaCrum as consul to Pretoria
is regarded by the department as suf-
hcient evidence that he was thereby GUST
ed not only from his post at Pretoria. but
entirely out of the service OF the United
