effect Of making Germany's subma-
rine war impossible and Germanys
answer gives heed to this demand.
Concerning Germanys willingness to
proceed according to the general in
ternational rules would mean putting
an end to searching and the possible
capture of neutrals and the capture
under all circumstances of hostiles.
Such a course for German subma-
rines is out of the question. Moreover.
even if Great Britain promised to
stop the use of false flags. there could
be no certainty she would keep her
promise; Germany would be the loser
in the event.
Die Post declares the fact that the
United States alleged that its pro-
posals were based on upright friend
ship and the interests of humanity
was enough to make one suspicious
at the start" The United Sttaes pro-
posals have been dictated solely by
American business interests. this pa
per says. If Germany agreed to these
proposals, she would keep faith, but
England would not and the result
would hamper Germany's welfare.

GERMAN WRITER EXPRESSES HIS
D|SAPPR0vAL OF OUR NEGOTIATIONS

Berlin, March 3, via London, 1l.45
A. M.-Count Won Reventlow, a writ
er On naval subjects, has an article in
today's Tages Zeitung in which he ex-
presses his thorough displeasure both
with the American note to Germany
concerning the naval war zone and the
submarine blockade of the British
Isles and the German answer to this
communication.
In this Germany substantially agrees
to accept many of the informal sug-
gestions of the United States made
with the idea Of effecting a better
ment in the situation arising from
the carrying out Of the German block
ade and the British retaliatory meas
ures, provided Great Britain yields
on its side in certain directions, par
ticularly in the matter OF shutting out
all fod shipments to Germany.
In his attitude of opposition, Count
Won ReventloW is almost alone among
German commentors, Die Post being
the only paper besides the Tages lei
tung disposed to express dissatisfac-
ton with the German answer.

dying condition on the street shortly be-
fore midnight on the night of June %
last, in front of the building where Mrs.
Angle had apartments. He died at the
hospital about an hour later without re-
gaining consciousness. Investigation by
the police disclosed bloodstains leading
to Mrs. Angles apartments and she was

answers to questions by the officers. II
was the contention of the police that
after Ballou had fallen down the stairs
he had been dragged out of the building
by Mrs. Angle.
Following her arrest she suffered a ner-
vous breakdown and the coroner, who de-
sired her testimony at the inquest, con-
tinued his inquiry from week to week
until counsel for the accused woman
stated that because of her nervous and
physical condition he would not permit
her to testify. Eventually she was taken
into court on bench warrant charging
granddaughter. but because Oh her shat
tered health the case had to be postponed
from time to time.
