No Chance Whatever Of Abandon.
ment Of Submarine Methods BY
Germany, Says Berlin.

Berlin, via London, July 29.-The
imperial chancellor, DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, has returned here
fromA general headquarters, but moth
ing regarding the results of his con-
ference with the emperor can be as
,certained at present beyond con-
armation of the fact that the Ger
man answer to the American note, az
previously stated, will not be deliv-
cred for some time, if, indeed. it 10
decided to prepare an answer.
There Is no chance whatever Of
formal abandonment Of the submarine
warfare on the present basis, al
though submarine commanders may
be impressed with the advisability Of
avoiding complications with the Uni
ted States and of taking whatever
steps they can to that end.
Developments in the American No.
gotiations with Great Britain unques.
tionably will have important reflex
action on the German-American sits
uation. German statesmen are watt
ing eagerly to ascertain whether the
American note to Britain is as stiff
in tone as that to Germany, before
making final decision on the Cor.
man policy.

HONOR AMONG coNv1crs

Red Wing Daily Eagle: The warden
of Sing Sing prison, like most other
penal reformers throughout the coun-
try, has met with considerable opposi-
tion in his application of the honor sys-
tenn to prison life. Critics have scoffed
at the notion that criminals are actual
ed by the same motives as other people,
and that convict community can be
held together by the same moral obi
cations that bind society in general.
The critics laughed gleefully the 9th
er day when word came that one of the
warden "trusties'' had broken his
pledge and run away. But the way
his fellow convicts received the news
put a different face on the matter.
They Immediately expressed their in
dignation at such breach Of faith
which they looked upon as casting dis.
credit on the whole convict body, and
raised fund of 800 which they offer.
ed as reward for his capture. They
pronounced him traitor to an organi
zation trying to prove that it deserves
its new freedom. And if that trusty is
caught and restored to Sing Sing, he
can meet with no greater punishment
than the deep contempt Of his fellows
which awaits him.

many requesting payment of damages
on the ground that the Prussian-Amer.
lean treaty of 1923 had been violated.
A report from American Consul Den
n1son at Dundee, Scotland, brought to
light the fact that the captain of the
Leelanaw attempted to escape, but
submitted to visit and search after
warning shots were fired The right
to escape, officials declared, is conced.
ed by international law, only repeated
attempts to evade capture or eorcible
resistance being regarded as affecting
the case.
Material for Claim.
Unofficial reports that the German
submarines commander was unwilling
to jettison the cargo of the Leelanaw
and to allow her to proceed, as the
treaty Of 1928 provides, cleared up
doubts here on this point. The mate
rial necessity for the presentation OF
q claim similar to that made in the
case of the William P. Frye was, there
fore, considered practical
The complete report of Consul Den
nison was as follows:

Retains Ships Papers.
The retention by the German sub
marine commander of the ships papers
brings up a point that never has been
definitely settled, but in the present
war, there have been many such cases,
as when the William P. Frye was sunk
by the Prinz Eitel Friedrich.

he addressed the International Press
congress in Festival hall at the Pana-
