Opponents

New York, Dec 29.-Captain Kar
Begged, the dismissed German NAVAL at
tache, issued the following statement
Just before leaving on the steamer Rot.
terdam yesterday:
Before the terrific war broke out,
had the great fortune of having served
almost two and half years for my en-
embassy at Washington.
"Those years belong not only to the
most interesting but also to the most
pleasant in my life. am particularly
thankful for the rae comradeship Of
the American navy that / baye been
permitted to enjoy, due to the kindness
of its gallant and amiable officers.
1.-The great and cordial hospitality
which is SO proyerbial for Americans and
which was extended also to me from
the very first day of my arrival in the
United States | can never forget
"0f course, / refrain at the hour of
my departure from again refuting all
the stories which were told about me
in the American papers and which most
ly-like the silly Hueria tale--were in
vented by the Providence Journal.
This paper, with its British born
Mr. Rathom, has done it's utmost to
create an almost hysterical suspicion of
spies throughout the country in order
to prejudice public opinion against Ger
many. We Germans do not understand
what you call your free press Our
laws allow the fullest personal liberty
consistent with the welfare of the state.
But we do not permit the diplomatic
representatives of friendly governments
TO be insulted or our government TO be
embarrassed in its dealings with other
nations, nor mems regulations to be
wantonly sacrificed by the wild and reek-
less utterances of an irresponsible press |
like the Providence Journal. And ven.
ture TO predict that in sheer self-defense,
you will be forced to take like meas
ures, notwithstanding the dangerous |
power Of your press.
while our enemies have been and |
are being supplied from this country !

tons OF war without which they would
have long since been overcome, | have

PROMOTING THE PARKS.
Plans Proposed by American Civic As
ISOLATION.

Washington, Dec. 2o.--The American
Civic association began a four days con
yention here yesterday. The chief aim
of the convention is the development of
the national parks, and last night a ma

In Congress by Representative Kent of
California, was discussed. The bill pro-
vides for a park service in the depart
ment Of the interior under director
appointed BY the secretary and asks the
immediate appropriation Of 100000 for

OF the Associated Press Many o

short time ago when II. p. Warren
representing the Alaskan Railway
Commission. arrived on the isthpus

ed with applications for positions IN
Alaska.
Many OF the canal workers are
tired OF the tropics, or, what Is the
same. believe they are. and are will.
ing to risk the rigors OF an Alaskan
winter for the sake OF change. In
mediately after his arrival however.
Mr.. Warren made It plain that there
would not De many positions open In
Alaska. He also frankly told canal
workers that living conditions are far
more easy and that the construction
gang would no; find the same treat.

not nearly so large force will be

The government already has sent
out warning against any rush into
the territory this season. as the work
by no means iustihes one. Moreover.
the great majority OF the workers
will have to DE prepared to return to
the United States each fall. as the
winters are so severe that little ou;.
side work can be done.
Many OF the locomotives that were
used In the construction Of the canal

the thousands OF spoil trains from al
along the route OF the waterway
eventually will do added duty on the
Alaskan project. They will have 10
