AMERICAN MEDIATION
SCORES ONE SUCCESS.
Exceptional Treatment of Submarine
Prisoners in England Discontinued
Also Retaliatory Measures by Ger
mans.

Berlin, via London, June II, 11.45 p.
MAS a result of American mediation,
the exceptional treatment which was
being accorded to German submarine
boat prisoners in England and to an
equal number of British officers prison
ers in Germany has been discontinued.
Germany today notified the American
embassy that the British officers who
were selected for retaliatOry treatment
here would, like the submarine prison
ers in England, hereafter be confined
with other prisoners of war and given
the same treatment.
With this incident out of the way,
it is hoped that the negotiations be-
tween Germany and Great Britain for
the release of prisoner civilians who
are incapacitated for military service
which were interrupted when the cap
tured crews of submarines were placed
in confinement may be resumed. The
negotiations at that time were virtu-
ally complete.
Arthur ]. Balfour, the new secretary
of the British admiralty, announced
June 9 that German submarine prison
erS thereafter would be treated exact
ly as all other German prisoners in
England. Great Britain soon after the
commencement of Germany's sub
marine blockade held the captured
crews of submarines apart from other
German prisoners, and it was intimat-
ed that these men were to be severely
dealt with after the war. Germany
| alleged that they were being maltreat-
| ed, and certain British officer prisoners
| in Germany were selected for treat
ment of equal harshnesS. Representa-
| tives of the American embassies in
| Berlin and London recently visited
these prisoners and reported on the
treatment that was being accorded
them.

Admiral FuIIam's
Methods AssaiIed
AT INQUIRY OF IRREGULARITIES
AT NAVAL ACADEMY.
BY DEFENSE COUNSEL
Accused of Tampering With Evidence
of Witnesses by Giving Them His
Opinion of What They Ought to Say.

Annapolis, Md, June 14.-A virtual
charge of tampering with the evidence
of witnesses before the court inquiry
which is investigating irregularities in
examination papers at the naval acad-
emy, was made today against Admiral
F'ullam, superintendent of the acad-
emy, by Congressman James Hay, of
counsel for seven of the midshipmen
defendants.
Objectionable Methods.
When the court reassembled after
the luncheon recess Mr.. Hay arose and
said that in view of the evidence
given by Midshipman C. o. Ward and
w. j. Heath this morning "and almost
every midshipman who has appear
ed on the stand, that they have been
taken to the office of the superin-
tendent of the academy and there eth
er the superintendent or his aide has
told them, if they took a certain po-
sition in this case, what would happen
to them, it seems to me and my as
sociates that this is tampering with
summoned"
Should Not Express Opinion to Wit
nesesses.
'1t may be proper" Mr. Hay con-
tinued, when these young gentlemen
are ordered up here from the ship that
they should report to the superintend-
ent. But it is not proper, in my judg-
ment, that the superintendent should
be allowed to give them his opinion of
what they ought to say, or what they
ought to do, or in wha tcategory they
are to place themselves.
Shocks Decency of Whole Country.
'T say it shocks the decency of the
whole country that these young men
should have to undergo a lecture by
the man who is over them and in
whose hand rests their fortune as long
as he occupies the position that he
does 1t seems to me that the court
in order to protect the witnesses and
in order to protect itself, will take
some step to prevent that sort of
thing going on"
After considering Mr.. Hays request
behind closed doors for nearly an hour,
Captain Robert L. Russell, president
of the court, announced that he had
directed that the following letter be
sent to the superintendent of the
academy.
THE question has been raised in
this court in regard to persons already
summoned for appearance as Witness
es before the court being seen at the
superintendent office, either by him
self or by his aides and instructed as
to their status as witnesses or possi-
bic defendants. This might influence
their testimony
Court Stops Methods Complained Of.
Therefore it is requested that prior
to their being regularly designated as
defendants, witnesses and possible de-
PENDANTS summoned through the super
intendent's office be not Instructed at
any time or place as to the possible
status in which they will be placed by
virtue of any action they might take
as witnesses or defendants"
Further testimony was offered to-
day tending to support the suspicious
of the naval academy authorities that
the offices of three departments had
been entered just prior to the last an
nual examinations.

COUNTY OPTION.

Now that it is certain that a county
election will be held in October, the
Negroes are much interested. While
there are many identified with the
wet element, they do not propose to
vote to sanction discrimination against
them in many saloons. Sen. E. J.
Westlake is leader of the wet fac
ton. He was elected by the Negro
vote, and committee will wait upon
him to place their grievances before
him. Unless he uses his great in
fluence to bring about better condi-
tons, they will vote fora dry county.
Such PROHIBITION practices, as
refusing to serve Negro gentlemen
and placing humililiating signs "NE-
GROES NOT WANTED HERE,
will serve as a boomerang to many
of the retail liquor dealers--and it
should. If Negroes cannot get decent
treamtent as other people in public
places, then let us go fifty-fifty on the
blind pigs, and there will be some
equality to this personal liberty" CO
issue. Any Negro who would vote
to endorse the present conditions Of
the liquor traffic belongs to the class
that has brought most disgrace upon
his race--the Negro without either
or principle.
