GERMAN ADMIRAL
WARNS COUNTRY
Won Truppel Urges Concessions in Not,
to America, Fearing World Union
Against Nation.

Berlin, July 6.-AdmiTaI Oscar Won
Trippel, at one time governor OF
Kiao-Chow. the German concession in
the Chinese province of stantung cap
tured in November by the japanese,
contributes an article to Der Tag
warning his compatriots not TO under
estimate the danger of q breach with
the United States and asking them TO
weigh seriously the question whether
the value of Germany's submarine war
fare against British commerce is great
enough TO Justify a continuance Of its
present form at the expense of a rup-
ture with the transatlantic nation
The article is remarkable not only
for its open statement regarding the
wide reaching effects which the par
ticipation Of America in the hostilities
might exercise on the future course Of
the war-efects which Admiral Won
Truppel SAYS are greatly underestimate
ed in Germany-but also as a contribu-
ton from a naval officer.
All the naval publicists OF Germany
hitherto heard from have been devot-

ing to prevent or to limit concessions

ling German note to Washington.
The campaign between the advocates
/ and the opponents of a compromise
still is intense and delivery Of the
+ note. which a few days ago was sehed-
iuled for Monday or Tuesday, probably
will be delayed several days.
It is hoped by those who favor a
compromise that these DAYS Of add
tionaI consideration will produce q
change in the attitude of the naval
party. whose views thus far have been
/ opposed to any note OF character out
lined previously in these dispatches.
This was to the effect that In all
probability the reply would embody
proposals to exempt ships employed
wholly or principally in passenger
traffic from submarine attacks, though
making them subject to stoppage and
examination.
Admiral Won Truppel. IN his article
in Der Tag, writes:
"A German-American war or even a
rupture Of diplomatic relations. the
effect of which would virtually be as
great. would iujure German prospects
more seriously than many believe.
Though America at first would be
able TO contribute little To the military
strength of the entente allies except
by an acceIeration Of the munitions
supply, it could in time cooperate with
considerable land and sea forces and
with first class submarines and aero
planes in the complete isolation Of
Germany.
1T also could exercise such pres
sure upon the few remaining neutral
countries that these would probably be
arrayed actively or passiveiy in the
ranks Of our enemies"
