from reliable information furnished by its officials and
neutral passengers that for time practically all
the more valuable English merchant vessels have been
provided with guns, ammunition and other weapons
and furnished with crews specially practsed in man.

when she left New York, had guns aboard which

The Imperial Government furthermore has the
honor to direct the particular attention of the American
Government to the fact that the British Admiralty by
secret instructions in February of this advised the
British merchant marine not only to seek protection be-
hind neutral flags and markings, but when dis
guised to attack German submarines by ramming
High rewards were offered by the British Govern
ment special incentive for the destruction of SUBJ
marines by merchant vessels and such rewards already
have been paid In view of these facts which salts
factoriy known to the Imperial Government, it is
able to consider British merchant vessels any longer

by the Admiralty and staff of the Imperial German
navy. German commanders consequently no longer

When.- reference Was made tol tht

When reference was made to the similarity of the United States and Switzerland as republics and neutrals! Gen. Willie said the interests of the two countries wefS much the same, but their military systems differed widely. Switzerland having compu1- sorry service
 There was nothing incongruous, he felt, in having. compulsory service in a country based on democratic princi- pies. In Switzerland, which was a type approaching a pure denocracy, the people had a strong military spirit, resulting from living in a country surrounded by military uph eavals for hundreds of years. Therefore, they readily yielded their service in a compulsory military system.
 Gen. Willie believes the steady tend ency in Europe will be toward com pulsory service, and that all coun- tries will be obliged to adopt it as a measure of self-defense and national security.

side of armY organization.

side of army organization.
 At the artillery school at Potsdam he was associated with many of the conspicuous figures of the present war, and acquaintance formed at tn at time with Emperor William is strong today, There, too, he married a rel ative of the great Bismarck.
 : Gen. Wil1eis a believer in the rigid German school of military organiza- ton, rather than the British system, which he declared looks upon military training rather lightly as a. sport .
 Military preparation is something g more than a defense of the state and it's citizens,'' Gen. Willie pointed out. sIts first purpose is, of course, ma tiona1 defense and readiness to safeguard the life, property and se- curity of the citizen. But another purpose hardly less important, is the training and discip1ining of a large body of men, and the habits of dis cip1fne thus gradually installed into the great body of the community.
 In this way it builds up disei- p1ined order of thought, of efficiency, not only among soldiers but in every branch of civil life, making men manufacture, trade and all the branches of civil activity.
 This disciplined training, Gen. Willie believes, has been the secret of Germany'a tremendous commercial expansion in recent years. Back of it was the military precision and order which every branch of the eornmun- ity had acquired from years of Inili- tarye service. se that the German sys- tern,. he says, has accomplished two results; first, an organization Of na- tionaI defense unparalleled for com p1eteness and efficiency, and, second highly disciplined and efficient c1- william society suited to compete on the
 most effective terms in the world s competition of commerce, trade and industry.
 On the other hand, Gen. w11le be 1ieves that the British system, which draws it's officers largely from men of means and leisure, has not yielded the same efficient results, either as an arm of national defense in time or need, or in making the civil eommun- ity of England disciplined and eff. cient in the wer1d's competition
