BERLIN DISOWNS
MOVE FOR PEACE
Calls the Rumors Inventions to
Revive the Spirit of
France.

Berlin fbv wireless 20 Sayviile), Dec.
Another statement bearing on Ger
many's reported desire for peace was
issued to-day by the Overseas News
Agency. The reports or German peace
proposals are again denied. The news
agency also contrsdicts the assertion
that Emperor william is 10 go to Con-
stantinople. The statement follows;
"French newspapers make it appear
that Germany is always looking for
peace when she has obtained military
success. This is not only incorrect,
but the reverse Of the truth.
"It is true that every time France
has suffered reverses on the battle
field or in diplomacy The French news
papers have invented reports Of Ger
man peace proposals in order to re-
vive the spirits of the French people
This is the reason why at the present
time the news is being spread all
over the world that Germany is seek
ing peace, why invented reports con-
cerning the mission in Switzerland oi
Prince Won Buelow. former German
Chancellor, are being disseminated
and why similar allegations are hlaue
concerning the intentions OF various
others persons. ,,,.r,e a.
aAI .hese rumors are as untrue as
the report cSnssrning 'Gs esns9antisopIs e9%ihs 5p

Carnegie Hero Fund, the Carnegie
trust for the universities of Scotland
and the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust,

Conspirators Sentenced.

Hachmeister and Koetter received a
sentence identical with that Of Dr.
Buenz. Poeppingnaus, who was re-
garded BY Judge Howe as of minor i'm
portance as conspirator. being large
ly a tool of his superiors. was SEN
fenced TO one year and one day in
Atlanta. The line, being corporation,
could not be sent to Jail, so Judge
Howe imposed fine of 81.
The moral effect of the conviction Of
the defendants in the governments suit
was uppermost in the minds OF United
States Attorney Marshall, Judge Howe
and the Department of Justice, and this
was reflected in the decision of the
court 70 impose Jail sentence only ir
the case Of four Of the defendants and
a nominal fine in the case OF the
company.
Judge Howe even went so far as 10
exclude the cost of court upon the de-
PENDANTS, explaining that he wished to
keep out as much as possible from the
case all "odor of money"
All trace Of depression and discomfi-
ture had disappeared from the prison
crs yesterday when they appeared in
court. A reaction from the first jolt Of
conviction which came on Thursday
night had vanished. The four men
seemed 70 display an attitude of cheer
full sacrifice for the fatherlsnd when
they stood up before Judge Howe to
take their medicine.
Dr. Buenz, despite bis seventy-swo
years, his rheumatic afliction and the
pain of varicose veins from which ne
has long suffered. was exceedingly
merry. lie even jested with friends
who had come to court to commiserate
with him in his misfortune.

DR.. Karl Buenz, resident director OF
the Hamburg American Line, former
German Minister TO Mexico, former
Consul General in this city, lawyer and
Judge in his own country, was SEN
fenced yesterday by Judge Harland B.
Howe to serve one year and six months

night by jury Of having conspired to
defraud the United States in the pro-
curing Of clearance papers by the aid Of
false msnifests for supply ships for
German raiders in the North and South
Atlantic in 1914.
Dr. Buenz was the most important Of
five conspirators indicted by the gov
eminent. The others were the Ham
burg American Line; Adolph Hach-
meister, purchasing agent; George
Koetter, experimenting engineer, and
Joseph Poeppinghaus, an officer on one
of its steamships. Poeppinghaus was

Athens. Dec. A wireless o ;
call reached Athens this morning from
an unnamed American ship, the mes
sage stating that she was being at'
tackled by an Austrian or German
submarine. south OF the island Of
Crete.
Subsequent efforts TO communicate
with the vessel were fruitless. The
American Legation here sent report
regarding the matter 20 Washington
The collier Cesar, which IS in East
ern Mediterranean waters, may be IN
the vicinity from which the message
was sent.
Washington, Dec. At was SAID al
tho Navy Department that the cruiser
Des Moines probably was nearer the
scene Of the reported attack on al
American shin in the Mediterranean
than was the collier Cssar Both re-
ported early to-Lay that they had los'
their anchors and mad suffered othei
minor damage yesterday in a severe
gale of Jaffe. The Cesar was to pro-

her way to Cyprus under indefinite or
segs, which might take her to other
| Mediterranean islands.
The disposition OF navy officials was
| to regard it as impossible that any
, American warship had been attacke1
either through accident or otherwise
! It was suggested that the vessel at.
tackled probably was one Of small
feet Of vessels plying IN IreciaN
waters under the American hag' but
owned entirely by Greek capitalists.
II was said By officials that an attacH
upon one OF the Greek owned vesseis
of American registry might present a
rather difficult problem, but that y
was highly improbable that the United
States would feel justified in making
it an international issue.
