LONDON, September 3.--However
satisfactory the advance announcement
of Germany's position on the future
use Of submarines may be in the Unit
ed States, 1t is being criticised most
severely in Germany itself and is meet
ing with severe structures throughout
Great Britain. -el.H E5'sF1i
1t is taken for granted that the an.
nounced decision of Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz, of the imperial admiralty, to
take holiday is a preliminary to his
resignation in protest against the deci
sion of the Kaiser and the imperial
chancellor, Won Bethmann-H Hollweg, TO

1t is generally believed that the po-
Icy of Unfortunately torpedoing all
vessels caught within the announced
zone Of the German blockade is that
of Won Tirpitz and the decisiSd to in
struct the commanders of German sub
marines not to sink passenger carriers
unwarned is q reversal Of the grand
admiral and the chiefs of the German
admiralty. J....

serious. Internal Troubles
An Amsterdam despatch last night
states that the Berlin officials fear
that serious internal troubles through
out Germany will follow the decision
of the Kaiser and his principal ad-
visers to relax the submarine campaign,
upon the success Of which the German
people have been placing an exagger-
ated Importance.
The action of Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg and Foreign Minister Won Jaglw
il known to be in conflict with the
opinions of the naval chiefs, AMI the
gencral public is inclined to side with
Won Tirpitz and sympathize with him
in his voluntary retirement in protest
American Demands Evaded
Throughout England there is dis
position to find fault with the an
nounced German reply to the American
note, which does not, in the opinion of
the English press, meet the demands of
the American government that there
must be proper observance Of inter
national law in the carrying on of the
German submarine warfare.
The London Telegraph sums up the
British contention by saying that The
United States should protest further
against the German contention that
the commanders of its submarines
should be permitted to distinguish be-
tween liners and merchantmen. That
paper warns the United States that it
will be sacrificing neutral rights for
ever IL it agrees now to the announced
terms Of the German note and sets
such q dangerous precedent.
The United States, the Telegraph
points out, stands today as the most
powerful of the neutral nations and IN
the position of spokesman for all the
lesser neutrals.
Where Trouble IAes
OF it is admitted by the American
acceptance of the German reply as sat
isfactory that submarines can break
every law international and humane,
so long as notice of the intention to
attack be given to passengers, then
the world is confronted by a serious
development, fraught with grave con,
sequences to all seafarers," says the
Telegraph, which continues:
of Germany's attempt to evade
the consequences of her actions be
allowed to go unprotected against, it
sets a precedent which may shadow
