PLEASED
AT BERI4IN'S TENDENCY

Washington, June 22.--The action
of the Berlin authorities in suppress
ing the Berlin Tages Zeituns. the
newspaper which was publishing
Count Won Reventlow's articles on the
submarine issue with the United
States, was regarded here today as
highly significant.
In view of the character OF the
Reventlow articles. the suppression OF
the paper is taken to indicate that the
German government does not wish
German opinion influenced against the
United States nnr public opinion, In
this country influenced by reckless
talk at this time. 1t Is now believed
there is no longer any room TO doubt
the genuineness Of other reports from
Berlin that the German government
is earnestly seeking to avoid serious
trouble with the United States.
Count Won Reventlow's articles, or
such extracts from them as were ca
bled to this country. have been fol-
lowed by oficials here. 1t has been
considered that he represented the ex-
tremists with regard to the submarine
issue. Officiais have looked on him
as one of the leaders of the large ele-
ment in Germany which would have
the government virtually ignore Pres
ident Wilson's demands and let the
United States then do what 1t pleased.
Reports reaching here during the last
ten days have satisfied officials that
this element was not certain of hav-
ing its way, and that 1t was more

CITIZEN MEMBERSHIP
IS LIMITED TO FIVE
Council Amends Jones Charter
Changes Ordinance in Material
Respect.
SENTIMENT rs NOT STRONG
Author OF Resolution Declines to Give
Reasons why He Urges His Reso-
luton On Change In Local Govern
nent.

At the special meeting of Common
Council last night the Jones charter
changes resolution was adopted unan-
imousiy, after an important amend
ment had been made. at the sugges-
tion of Councilman Pollock.
AS 1t now stands the resolution
provides for the naming of a Council
committee OF nine and a citizens COM
ffittee of FIVE The Board of Alder
men will take up the proposition at
its next meeting.
The proposed charter amendment
resolution was introduced at the last
meeting of Common Council by
Councilman Carter c. Jones. and re-
ferred TO the Ordinance Committee.
which committee amended the orig
inai resolution. and last night at the
special meeting of Council. on mo-
ton OF Councilman Pollock, further
was made
After much argument by Messrs.
Jones. Seaton. Powell. Radcliffe and
Pollock. the resolution, after amend
ment, was adopted. and now goes to
the Board of Aldermen.
As amended the resolution provides
for nine coGncilnlen and five citizens.
Der at seven conncilmen and seven
citizens In committee II was
amended to place the nunsber at nine
counciimen and five citizens.
1t was shown by Mr. Pollock last
night that the citizen membership
would be called upon to do things
which they might not be willing or
able to do, and therefore, the smaller
the membership the better for the city
and citizens. So Mr.. Poliock's amend
ment was adopted, after remarks
from councilmen Butler. Seatton.
Powell and Jones
MIR Powell asked Mr. Jones 10 spec
fly some reason for the proposed pro-
cetiure Whether he had any definite
point in view as to the proposed change
in the charter. Mr. Jones was unable
to specify any proposed change, but
said he would at TIE proper time name
a few changes WI N he believed might
be beneficial 10 the city.
Mr.. Seaton asked Mr.. Jones what
those special things were, but Mr..
Jones maintained his own condolences
and declined to state what the idea of
a new charter was-until the oppor-
tune moment.
The significant vote was taken on
motion of Mr.. Pollock that the citizen
committee be named at five. 1t show
ed the sentiment of Council as to the
necessity of new charter or amend
-guent to the present charter: Ts1e vote
on that might be of interest TO the pub
lie 1t was ten for the amendment
and seven against, as follows:

Berlin (via London), June 22.-The
German authorities today informed
the administration of the Berlin
Tages Zeitung that 1t would have to
suspend publication for an INDEFINITE
period on account of the recent article
published by this paper on the sub
ject of German-American relations.
from the pen of Count Reventiow.
The action of the German au-
thorities Is regarded here as an In
dication that the government IL
weary of seeing it's relations with
America made more strained py
journalistic outgiyings such as those
OF Count Won Reventiow.
Advised Disregard of Law.
The article In question followed the
well known lines of that writer, VINO
asserted that international law must be
disre garded in the conduct OF subma-
riue warfare He declared that these
laws were made before submarines
were invented. and continued:
And one can az little employ these
rules in an objective common sense
way as for instance. one could bring
the sticking to his office of an incoSk-
petent statesman into heaithfui rela-
ton to the well being OF the whole

The Governments prompt action n

one of the many indications that re-
