GERMANY SCORES BRITISH
FOR CUTTING CABLE TO u. s.
Berlin Foreign Office Wants Direct
Communication With America.


BERLIN. July s-The German Minister
Of Foreign Affairs, Gottileb Won Jagow,
commented today on the slowness and
incompleteness Of communications be-
tween Germany and the United States
and the obstruction to the free exchange
OF news between the German and Amerl-
can press and public
~ sec" said the Minister that the text
OF the note Of the Imperial Government
presented through Ambassador Gerard,
regarding the reopeninE OF the direct
cable to the United States was published
by the American papers on June IA, The
American public has thus been given an
opportunity TO learn OF the proposals OF
the German Government with reference
to this
Germany proposed to pay the entire
expense OF repairing the cable and put
ting II into operation the President OF the
United States to be entitled to appoint
censors at the American end Of the cable
In order to supervise all messages trans
mitted over t. You will have noticed
that Germany proposed to permit news TO
be sent over this cable, uncensored. so
far as II was unprejudicinl to tho MILL
tary plan Of campaign.
THE American public has also learned
that the British Government, for obvious
reasons, has taken no notice or tnese
proposals Great Britain apparently does
not want the people of neutral countries
to be informed In an impartial way on
the events OF this great war. That Is
why at the beginning of the war, Great
Britain cut the cable. The result was |,
that from the very first day only news
coming from one side could be spread In |
neutral countries.
"That Is how Great Britain could mold |
public opinion In n way suIting her own |
purposes That is how Americans could |
form a wrong opinion of Germany's +.
of warfare, and that Is how I
pnd certain III feel
Ing against Germany hnve crept In.
America has been misinformed about |
iermanys motives. This would not have
1een the case had Germany in the same
way as her enemies been able to present
her case to the American public. DO you
hlnk that a fair judge would allow one
,arty to prevent his hearing tho other?
Any one who knows America knows
hat the sense of justice and fair play is
dominant In that country. We want no
more than that America shall be able
o listen to the German side of the story
she will We leave It to her TO Judge"

WASHINGTON BELIEVES
REPLY UNSATISFACTORY

Although the Administration shled vio-
lently at the suggestion OF secret di-
plomacy" when the recent story appeared
to the effect that unofficial negotiations
were in progress between Germany and
the United States, to aid the former IN
framing her answer to the last American
note, there is, nevertheless. a very def

ernments, II was Conhdentlally asserted
today by officials in close touch with in

Nevertheless, 1t was stated the Admin

force at the Dardanelles is the young

JO I'm BULL PEEVEO
BY YELLOW PRESS

LONDON, May 28.-The admiralty
and war office are not at all pleased
over having to inferno the $4,000 Ger
mans of military age at large in Eng,
land.
Despite abuse for not taking such
action sooner, which had long been a
part of the anti-liberal propaganda of
the conservatives and the yellow press,
the government has interned few alien
enemies able to support themselves. The
government evidently put little stock
in the spy scares of the yellow news
papers.
To intern $4,000 men means a cost
estimated at quarter of million
dollars a week, to say nothing of the
soldiers required for guard duty who
must be diverted from other districts.
Prisoners kept on nine lnternment
ships are known to cost 100000 a
week to maintain and it is believed the
big camps must cost much more.
If the government carries out its
proposed plan, however, some relief
will be provided by the repatriation of
10000 elderly informed prisoners,
which will leave only $4,000 new ones
to provide for.
A large proportion of Germans and
Austrians caught in Great Britain at
the outbreak of the war were walters
and hotel porters entirely dependent
on small wages. In Germany, the
British interned are almost all tour
lists and students.
