CHANCELLOR AND TIRPTTz
ROW OVER SUBMARINE WAR
Paris Newspaper Says Quarrel Comes
Over Relations With the
United States,

Paris reports: That there is some
thing more serious behind the sup
preston of the Deutsche Tages lei
tung last month than appears on the
surface is the contention of the FL
garo, leading newspaper, which
says the action reveals a quarrel be-
tween Admiral Won Tirpitz and DR..
Won Bethrnann-Hollweg, the Imperial
Chancellor. Furthermore, the French
publication gives proofs which -ap-
pear reasonable, although 1t does not
divulge the source Of its information.
In an article headed "Tirpitz
Against Bethmann," the Figaro says:
THE seizure of the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung far surpasses the simple sup
preston of a newspaper. There Is q
quarrel between Admiral Won Tirpitz,
chief Of the German navy, Minister Of
Marine and Chief Naval Counsellor
of William, and DIR. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, Chancellor of the Empire.
'The article of Count Reventlow,
which brought to the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung it's seizure and suppression,
was written, we have definitely learn
ed, under the direction Of Admiral
Won Tirpitz, originator OF the sub
marine warfare and author of the
proclamation of February 18. The
article contended that the submarine
warfare should be carried on in every
way following the example set by the
sinking Of the Lusitania, and that no
concessions should be made in spite
of the consequences which might
come. This was the contention Of
Count Reventlow.
"To this article in the Tages Zei-
tuDg, the Berliner LOkal Azneiger re-
piled with a letter which advocated
the restriction of submarine artivi-
ties and cOnciliation with the United
States. This article was signed with
the initials f. u. We have discover
ed that this E. u. is none other than
Mr. Emile Zimmerman, an under
secretary of state in the Imperial Of
fee of foreign affairs. In other words,
the letter was written at the dicta-
tion of the Chancellor, DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg.
1.-THE German press Is divided al
most equally between the two cham
pions, the admiral and the chancellor.
The Nord Deutsches Zeitung comes
out strongly in favor of the action
taken against the Tages Zeitung
Who will win out, the pirate chieftain
or the man of scraps Of paper? 1t is
for the Kaiser to decide. In the
meantime" says the French journal,
"our task is to record the blows in
this interesting conflict and to egg on
with Joy this auspicious quarrel.
The rats are commencing to aban-
don the sinking ship"

SWEDEN CAUSES UNREST
AMONG RUSSIA'S ALLIES
Victories Of Teutons Have Embolden-
ed Swedes, Who Want Finland.
Minister Discount Story.


The London Morning Post declares
the attitude of Sweden toward Russia
and the latter's Allies for some time
past has revealed elements of a dis
quieting character.
"Emboldened by recent German
successes" the newspaper says, "the
latent hostility of Sweden, which has
never forgiven the loss of Finland,
has become strongly developed. Con-
siderable preparations for warlike
contingencies have been made in
North Sweden and the Swedish army
Is fully modified. II Sweden per-
sists in her unfriendly attitude to-
ward Russia she may rapidly drift
into a war which would inevitably be
great obstacle to her future pro-
gress."
The Times in a long analysis of
the Swedish situation says the war
party has lost Importance and the
people generally accept neutrality as
the wisest course. "Sweden's deci-
sion to remain neutral is as firm as
ever" was the reply to-day of the
Swedish minister in London, Count
Wrangel, to the newspaper rumors Of
the possible participation Of the Scan
dinavian kingdom in the war.
There is no foundation for the
rumors," the minister said, "and the
suggestion that Sweden contemplates
action for recovery OF Finland is alb
surd. Mr.. Sazonoff's speech in the
Russian Duma on Sunday clearly in
dicates the relations between Sweden
and Russia are of the most friendly
nature"

GERMANY DESIRES PEACE
Newspapers Say Nation is Ready to

peace proclamation of the Pope. 1t
declares that no country would ac-
cept proclamation by the head OF
the Catholic church with greater cor
diality than Germany.
Note-This item was permitted to
pass the German censors. For the
second time in two days influential
German papers have expressed Ger
many's Willingness to accept peace
negotiations. The question naturally
arises, "is Germany ready for peace"

YOUNG MAN SHOOTS CHILD
Fires at Five-Year-Old Boy With an
Old Pistol.

Herman Brooks, five-year-old son
of a Columbia family, was shot and
probably fatally injured at Sake
Gotha Mills, near Lexington, Satur-
day afternoon. Preston Frye, a man
Of about twenty-one years of age, Is
accused of the shooting. The child,
with his mother, was visiting friends
at Saxe-Gotha, having come over
from Columbia several days ago.
Frye, it is said, was cleaning and OIL
ing an old pistol out In the yard.
In his childish manner Herman is
said to have slapped Frye on the back
two or three times. The young man
is said to have told the little fellow
"If you slap me again will shoot
you," or words to that effect.
The child in a playful manner
struck Frye again, whereupon the
man is said to have raised the pistol
and fired the bullet striking the child
in the left side and passing through
the body.

GREAT BRITAIN HEDGES
Says Latest Note Because Of Brevity
Did Not Present Case Fully.

Colville Barclay, charge of the
British embassy, called at the state
department Saturday to explain the
recent British note on the seizure of
the American ship Neches. The Brit
ish note, he said, because Of it's brew
ity, did not fully present the British
reasons for the action; that the ship
was not taken In reprisal for viola
tions by Germany of the rules OF
naval warfare, and that the rule re-
garding such detentions and seizures
was not intended to apply to the
nations.
State department officials said the
explanation placed the case in a diff
ferent light which will be recognized
in the forthcoming reply.
