BERLIN REGRETS AFFRONT
TO MINISTER VAN DYKE
Foreign Office Explains Interference
With Mails Was Due to
Misunderstanding.

THE HAGUE. via London, March 10
The German foreign Office has sent
through James w. Gerard, the Ameri-
can ambassador to Germany, an ex-
preston of regret and an explanation
to Henry Van Dyke, the American min
lister to Holland and Luxembourg, re-
gardfng the interruption of Dr. Van
Dykes correspondence with Luxem-
burg.
The trouble is attributed in the ex-
planation to misunderstanding on the
part of the military commandant at
Treves, and it is stated that orders
have been issued to prevent such an in
cident occurring again.
A dispatch from The Hague February
IL said DR.. Van Dyke had appealed to
the government at Washington to pro-
test to Germany against interference
with his duties as minister to the
grand duchy of Luxembourg. The Ger
man military commander at Treves. he
said, had refused to ALLOW his letters
to pass because they were sealed with
the seal of the American legation.
The minister added that for several
days he had been trying through the
mediation of the German minister at
The Hague to obtain an explanation
from Berlin of the invasion of his
diplomatic privileges, but that no am
swer had been received from the Ger
man capital. The day following the
receipt of DR.. Van Dykes protest Sec
retary Bryan ANNOUNCED that repre-
sentations had been made to Germany.

UNDERWOOD SOLUTION
!: ! Of RAILWAY PROBLEM
Democratic Leader Declares It Is
Either Governmental Regulation
or Public Ownership.

| NEW YORK. March 10.-In a speech
| on the railroad situation before the
| Ephfnx Club here last night Oscar w.
Underwood, House majority leader in
| the last Congress and now elected a
senator from Alaba ma. declared that
If governmental regulation is unable
to cope with the vexed problem that

Discussing the present system of reg
ulating business. Mr.. Underwood said
the time had come when the govern
ment should aid and assist the leaders
of industry and finance.
Progressivism Must Rule.
1T is not enough for the government
to permit these men to rise from the
prostration which has overtaken them
and their AFFAIRS he continued. I'VE
have reached the point on our way to
social betterment where sound pro-
gressivism must recognize that the
proper regulation of business requires
that it must sometimes be helped and
not always hindered; must be some
times assisted and not forever stricken;
that We must occasionally say, You
may and not always, You shall not
Adequate provision for capital to
maintain and extend the transportation
system of the country is the problem
confronting the government in its reg
ulation of railroads, MIR. Underwood
asserted. He added that Our present
system of regulation is breaking down
in so far as it has supervised the
finances of the railroads with view
to allowing them properly to protect
their securities that their credit may
be maintained to aid IN present and
future development.
Should Consider Both Sides.
The regulation of railroads, Mr.. In
derwood said, should take into con-
sideration the interests, not only of the
railroads themselves, and those direct
ly interested as shippers, but of the en-
tire country, whose commercial pros
perity is dependent upon adequate ship
ping facilities.
I'VE have undertaken the problem of
government regulation of railroads..
he continued, "and the government will
not turn back. Regulation of prac-
tices and rates is here, and here to
stay. But let US stand for wise and
just regulation and not for ill-con-
sidered and dangerous regulation. We
must regulate SO as to insure all neces-
sary railroad facilities both for the
present and for the future. AS the
public in the end must pay the bill, 1t
Is primarily interested in the railroads
securing the money needed for their
maintenance and development at rea-
sonable rates, and equally interested in
seeing that 1t is wisely expended.
REVOLUTIONS never move backward.
If governmental regulation Is unable to
cope with the vexed problem that con-
fronts US the people will accept gov
ernment ownership as tho next step
ahead. II Ia, therefore, q matter Of
great Importance that we should car
nestly endeAvor to reach q fair and

Points Widely Separated.

marines again are raiding at widely

three were sunk by different under
water boats.
Scarborough, off which port the Tang

virtually on the Irish sea.

German achievement on both fronts has

his own men for defensive work in the West

East. The scheme has worked so far, but
how soon will come the irreparable disaster
through the weakness Of his ally?
