GERMANY WILL NOT PROTEST
TO RETURN OF WHITLOCK

Concerning tho Won Nuber situation,
It was believed the state department
would rest its case with the cancella-
ton Of his consular credentials, rath,
er than bring the case to trial. de-
spite the efforts Of the department Of
justice to obtain evidence against
him. The former course would ac'
complish practically the same result.
During the day a perceptible tighten
ing in Washington Of the tension in
international relations was observable.
The request for recall of Boy-Ed and
Won Papen together with reports res
garding Whituock, led several con-
gressmen and senators to pigeon hole
contemplated bills bearing upon Amer
lean diplomatic relations and including
proposals to prohibit exports OF war
munitions. One OF the members who

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 4.-Treachery
or the part Of Arab tribesmen when
Ragdad was within their grasp,
caused the rout of the British forces
in Mesopotamia, according to BerIip
advlces.
Hordes Of Arabs made their way up
the TlgrIs with the British under Gen.
erai Townshend almost to the gates
Of Bagdad. Processing intense hat
red for the Turks, the Arabs led the
British into trap.
Arab scouts, sent ahead of the Brit
ish forces, reported only compara-
lively small bodies Of urkIsh troops
defending Baedad. At the crucial
moment In the battle near Ctesiphon,
the Arabs suddenly turned fiercely
upon the British, according to dis
patches received by the Berlin Vos-
siche Zeitung, attacked both General
Townshend's flanl<s and slaughtered
several hundred British troops before
artillery forced them to flee Ito the
Turkish lines. An official despatch
from the Turkish war Office tonight
described the defeat Of the British az
a rout. The Turks have pursued the
fleeing British nearly 100 miles down
the Tiqris to within a few miles Of
their base at kut-EI-Amara and are
continuing their attacks, It was stated.
The belief prevails In CONSTANT
nople that the British will not make
a second serious attempt to capture
Basdad.
The pursuit. Of the defeated British,
proceeds energeticaiiy, says the
Turks statement. On "Wednesday the
enemy attempted to make stand,
but lost several hundred prisoners, in.
cIudins a major, captain, iieuten-
ant and an aviator.
1--WE captured two transport ships
on the Tigris loaded with food; two
monitors, one carrying ten cannon
and the other four cannon and three
machine guns and munition supplies.
One Of these ships Is now being used
against the retreatins enemy"
An official statement issued In Lon
don today admitted defeat Of the
British In Mesopotamia with the loss
of nearly 5000 men and declared Gen.
crai Townshend had been forced to
retire to within few miles of kut-
El-Amara before "sreatIy superior
enemy forces"
No mention was made of the
treachery Of the Arabs.

BERLIN, (via Amsterdam) Dec. 4.
Germany should now 90 boldly be-
fore the world with suggestions OF
peace, Philip Sehiedmann, socialist
floor leader In tho reichstao, told the
united Press today.
1--WE can now openly Intercede for
peace because we are strong from the
military standpoint and strong eco
nomicaIly," said Schiedmann, who is
conducting the present battle for
open peace discussions in the reich
stag.
1--WE are 50 strong that we can dis
regard any false Interpretation Of our

strue our action as sign Of weak
ness. We socialists feel that Ger

for peace, but we are fully determines

Both factions Of the socialist party,
which apparently split on the peace
question, are busy seeking recruits be-

frank discussion Of peace terms, has
won the hostility Of many members

sions might be interpreted as 4 con-

PLAN FOR FARMERS CREDIT.
Congress to Pass on Scheme for Es
Enlistment Of Banks.

Congress to Pass on Scheme for Es.
tabIishment Of Banks.
Washington. Dec. 2S.-A system OF
rural credits, designed to afford farm
ers financial loans on easy terms, has
been worked out by the joint commit
tee appointed by the last congress and
will be reported to both houses when
they reassemble.
The tentative bill provides for d
comprehensive farm mortgage credit
system under the control and super
vision Of q land bank board Of five
members to be appointed by the pres
ident with the approval Of the senate.
Under the committee plan the
country would be divided into twelve
districts, each with regional bank
having capital stock of 100000, to
be issued in SO shares for purchase by
the public. Stock not taken within
ninety days by private capital or
by local loan organizations con-
templated by the bin would be SUBJ
scribed by the federal government. "a
Business would be dones directly be-
tween the regional banks and the local
bodies which farmers would be author
lied to organize in the form OF coop
erative farm loan associations or joint
stock banks. charters for which would
be passed on by the land bank board.
Applications for loans approved by the
local organization would be recon-
mended to tho regional, bank Of the
district. t. i
The banks would be- authorized to
loan out Of capital stock or to sell
bonds to s obtain sufficient funds to
make the loans, and the farmers would
be charged as interest the interest on
the bonds plus per cent In order to
reduce the rate Of interest the bill
would provide that they must be ac-
copied by banks as security for the
deposit of public funds -
The borrowing associations would be
divided into two classes-those,' organ
lied with limited liability and those
with unlimited liability They would
appraise the land on which q farmer
sought to obtain money, and would
themselves become Unable for the loan.
Thus the bonds would be backed by
the regional banks, the local associa-
ton the borrowing farmer, and q mort
gage on the land, given to the associa-
ton. 80. 81, ,..,f,.
Out Of their profits regional banks
would refund to the government such
money as 1t may have invested In the
enterprise. Payment Of the mortga ge
by the borrowers would be made on
the installment plan, running for > Pc
riod not to exceed thirty-six years.
The land banks would be permitted
to accept savings deposits, and in GER
tain specified cases to employ special
agencies. including trust companies
and savings banks, to make loans.
The completed bill Is compromise
measure embodying many of the fea-
lures of the Hollis Buckley bill Of the
last congress and most Of the underly-
ing principles OF the F1etcher-Moss
bill, fostered by the United States
commission on rural credits.
