Won TRP|Z AND
SUBMARINE WAR
German Admiral Opposes
Any Modification of
Measure
is UNCOMPROMISINGs. G..
IS UNCOMPROMISING;,53 G;,53
Believes Every Ship Headed for Eng
lish Ports Should be Torpedoed to
Frighten Others Away.

Berlin, May 25-High Admiral AL
fred Won Tirpitz is opposing, with al
his force proposed attempts to abats
or modify attacks by German sub,
marines upon merchant ships.
Friendly relations with the United
States are not half as important &c
Germany he believes as the damage
she can do England by cutting off her
supplies from the seas. There is high
authority for the assertion that Won
Tirpitz would be willing to go even
to the length of embrolling America
in the war rather than yield. More
conservative Germans, who have no
wish to make foes across the Atlantic
are frankly alarmed at the admirals
uncompromising attitude, and at the
effect it is apt to have upon shaping
the reply to the American note.
For Won Tirpitz is one of the three
men who will go over the draft of the
reply. The other two are the Kaiser
and General Won Falkenhayn, the
chief of staff. Won Tirpitz is using
all the weight of his position as head
of the German navy all of hisiniu-
of the German navy all of his influ-
and all the persuasion Of the eloque-
nee which won the German nations
support to his burdensome shipbuild
ing program marshalipe every force
at his command to prevent his sub
marine activities being curtailed on
account of the American protest.
1t is his own pet plan of warfare
which is being attacked. He it was
who conceived the idea of the war
zone and the submarine blockade. 1t
was he who saw the possibilities OF
the underwater craft years before the
heads of other navies of the world
realized them.
The admiral believes every ship
headed for English ports should be
.orpedoed to cut off food and supplies
and to frighten other ship owners
awav from entering trade which
would carry them through his war

Sorrow Stricken Father

CRIES WAR! WAR! WAR!
Had Lost Three Sons in Recent Bat
tles-Endeavored to Murder Fifteen
People in Bakery.

New York, May -"Three sons
killed by the Russians; three of my
boys, you understand! killed in the
war, for their Emperor, for their
country! But why doesn't Maria
write? Why dosen't she let me know
how the three little girls and my
fourth boy are? War-war-war!
Everybody is killed; everybody must
kill"
Swinging a large keen-edge knife
and with tears streaming down his
cheeks. Samuel Greenberger, forty
years old foreman in bakery. set
out to kill the fifteen men working
under him in the shop. A moment be-
fore, he had been doing his work
calmly.
Henry Endelman, who stood near
est to him, was chosen by Greenberger
as his first victim but just as he div
ed, Endelman seized his wrist, knock
ing the knife out of his hand.
1t took eight men to hold Green
berger and prevent him from carrying
out his threat to murder 'evarybody
in sight"
Drs. Edward L. Friedman and j
Stanley Uhr, responding to a hurry
,all, directed the man to be taken to
The Rockaway Beach Hospital in an
ambulance from that institution. The
short ride was marked by desperate
attempts by Greenberger to break
away from the five men holding him.
It was found necessary to put the un-
fortunate patient into straitjacket
and he was later taken to the Kings
County Hospital where he was dec
Jared insane.
Two years ago Greenberger left his
home in Narneros Hungary, and came
here to earn enough to send for his
family. During the second month OF
the war he received letter from his
wife telling him that his three sons
had died on the battlefield, having en-
listed in the Austro- Hungarian army.
The satisfaction that his sons had
"done their duty to their country
somewhat soothed his grief, but when
four months ago his wife suddenly
stonped writing he grew respondent.

parts of the city.
+ Thousands of residents paraded the
streets singing patriotic songs and
cheering the Emperor, the monarchy
the allied army and navy. Before the
war ministry patriotic speeches were
greeted with tremendous applause.
Indignation against italy found ex-
preston in cries of Down with trai-

No attacks upon Italians were
made, however. !:
The town council of Triest has been
dissolved by the Emperor as that

The Prague newspaper, Narodni

entrance of Italy into the war, says:

certitude because of the loyal assist

The Has Naroda, of Prague, de-
clares the people of Austria and Hun

tenable friendship purchased with :,

PACKERS. SEEK; FREE SEA.
Want British Interference With
Neutral Commerce Stopped

Washington, May 25.-Baffled by
their failure to obtain redress fron
the British Government for injurie:
sustained by. them under the opera
ton of the British blockade of Ger
many, representatives of four of the
largest meat-packing establishments
in the United States met here yester-
day for the purpose of getting the
Administration to adopt more Wig
orous attitude toward British inter
ference with the neutral trade rights
Of American shippers.
AT a late hour last night the pack
ers were still in conference. 1t was
announced that nothing further
would be made public concerning their
plans until after they had had OPP
portunity to confer today with Off
cials of the State Department.
Although it was denied last night
that the American packers were con-
sidering placing an embargo on the
shipment of meat to England by way
of reprisal, it is known that such a
course was suggested by some of
those present as a possible means OF
bringing Great Britain to terms in
the event of all other efforts to gel
failing. 1t was realized
however that such course would
involve a trade war likely to last
long after the nations of Europe have
concluded peace, if it did not result
Immediately in serious embarrassment
to the United State, and for that
reason it is said that milder counse'
prevailed.
Shipments of meat from the Unit i
ed States to Holland, Denmark and
other North European countries valu
ed at from $100OO,000 to $25,OOO,OOO
nave been intercepted by British
cruisers and taken to English port:
where they have been held up, in some
instances for six months.

WANT A CONFERENCE
Rumors of Division in Camp of Brew
cry Strikers.

Considering it unnecessary to say
they are undergoing hardships be-
cause of their strike, discussing it
rather as a financial loss for all par
ties concerned, brewery workers who
quit their employment in District of
Columbia beer factories five weeks
ago are thinking that a conference
with their former employees would
not be an unpopular plan.
Rumors coming out Of labor circles
tell of division in the camp of the
strikers, especially in the leaders
council. Among the. conservative
members of the general strike COM
mittee settlement of the troubles
by mass meeting is being talked
about.
The brewery owners and their rep
resentatives would be invited to the
meeting, which would be open to the
public. Other guests would be saloon
proprietors. The plan is to have. the
meeting called for an early date.
Some members of the committee look
upon the suggestion as rather pre-
mature.
The strikers have not discussed the
plan with the brewery owners, but
they feel the brewers would consid'
er any concessions or suggestions.

chairman of the special committee to
examine into charges Of unorthodoxy
laid against Union Theological Semi
nary, stood before the General Assem-

had violated the sacred trust bestowed
upon them by the Presbyterian Church
and by the countless Presbyterians,
living and dead. He pointed out
that, until 1892, the seminary had two
and one-half million dollars from
Presbyterians on the strength of its
professions as a Presbyterian insti-
tuition, whereas, after 1870, it had
ceased to teach orthodox Presbyter-
ian doctrines.
No voice was heard in defense. The
discussion continue today.
The executive commission of the
General Assembly is charged with ex-
ceeding its powers and tampering

such a plan is contemplated, but II
is maintained by some we'll INFORM
cd people that such plan has been
discussed. The packers hope to find
a less expensive way out OF their
troubles.
