Secret Diplomacy is
Blamed for Great
Conflict in Europe

LONDON, Aug, 29--(4;l0 a. m)-The
Daily News in an editorial denouncing
secret diplomacy. says;
Can Europe ever again tolerate the
appalling peril OF secret diplomacy. Can
We ever again play about on the deck
with sails and compasses, making our
little laws and imagining that we are
fself-governing, while down in the hold
of our ship of state there is powder
magazine, the very existence of which
we are not permitted to know
Secret diplomacy belongs TO the tradi-
tons of autoeratic and personal govern
ment; IL has no place in a democratic
world and tho example OF the United
States must become the model Of the
civilized world on this vital matter II
Europe is to be free from menace in the
future"

dispatch continues, protest against news
spread by enemies about the cruelty of
German warfare. German troops some
times had to take severe measures when
provoked by the people making treacher-

atrocities against the wounded. The re-
sponsibility for this method Of warfare
fails entirely upon the civil authorities

civilians and stir them up to take part in

British Officer
Tells Of Sinking Of
the Kaiser Wilhelm

LONDON. Aug. a.-C2;SO D. m.)-The
Evening News publishes a dispatch from
Las Palmas, Canary Islands, giving an
account Of the sinking Of the North Ger
man Lloyd transatlantic liner Kaiser VIII
helm Der Crosse off the coast OF Africa
by the British cruiser High Filler, which
was reported Thursday.
Lieutenant Deane, a British army Of
ficer, who was taken prisoner by the
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse from the
British steamer Gallcian on the high seas,
is the authority Of the Las Palmas cor
respondent and IN an interview he gives
a graphic account OF how the great liner
was destroyed.
Lieutenant Deane was not on board the
German liner; he had been sent over to
the collier Arucai. from which the liner
was coaling. When II was seen that the
Kaiser Wilhelm was doomed the German
captain sent his sword, his dispatch box
and a letter to his wife TO the collier,
his secretary being his messenger. Previ-
Gus to doing this the captain of the liner
had announced that he would himself
blow up his command rather than sur
render.
WIEN lnt i1lsn IlieI Opcntu iiHb On lho
liner, Lieutenant Deane continues, the
collier was still fastened to it by one
hawser, and owing to some delay certain
prisoners on board the liner did not get
a chance to leave the ship. The Kaiser
Wilhelm was bow on to the High Filler
and the British cruiser had some diff
Guilty In finding Its mark II unanswered
to get broadside on and the ensuing can
nonade lasted for forty minutes. All the
shots from the Kaiser Wilhelm appeared
to be falling short. From the collier il
was seen that II had been hit three times
and on catching fire, It ceased replying
to the shots from the British cruiser
When the liner had been silenced the
High Filler also stopped firing. BY this
time the Arucai, which had separated
from the liner, had gotten too far away
to perceive anything more than that II
was still burning.
The Germans kept on board the Kaiser
Wilhelm only It's officers it's gun crews
and a few engineers. The remainder OF
its men were transferred to the collier.
The Collier Arucai brought also the
crews of three British vessels, the Kali
para. the Nyanga, steamers of 4,74l. 1,46I
tons, respectively, and fishing
boat. which were transferred off Rio dc
ORC. from the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
which had sunk these vessels before Il
was attacked by the High Flyer.
