National zeitung' today published an interview with James W. Gerard, the United States ambassador to Germany concerning the situation brought about by the presentation of the American note to the German gov 1 ernment relative to neutral shipping by Germany.
 The ambassador is reported as de claring that the note is couched in such conciliatory and friendly terms that he did not doubt it would have a favorable result. He expressed regret at the sharp tone of some of the American and German newspapers, but said he was sure that this would not disturb the friendly relations be- tween the two countries.
 Not Slightest Question.
 ''Why should Germany and the United States wage war on each oth- er?' MT Gerard asked the interview CT. There is not the slightest ques- tion of conflict between them; their interests opopse each other nowhere in the world.''
 The ambassador also is reported as asking how such war could be
 
 engage the other effectively because of thir geographical positions and as saying that it would have to be an economic war
 Asked by the interviewer concern ing the attitude of German-Amer- jeans, Am nbassador Gerard is reported in the National Zeitung'' as having answered:
 Americans First
 "People in Germany are to readily disposed to believe that German Americans would be first Germans and then Americans in case of war. Exactly the opposite would be the case. American citizens of German birth are first and foremost Ameri- cans and the same spirit is true of Irish-Americans.'
 When asked concerning the sale of weapons to the allied powers, the ann bassador called attention to the pro- vision of The Hague convention which permitted this. He expressed inabi1 ity to understand why, after six months of war, the United States should now be reproached because of the sale by Americans of war muni- tions when no objection had been raised as to it's legality before.
 Recently, said Ambassador Gerard, the feeling appeared to be gaining ground in the United States that the sale of munitions was not fair" but he contended that if the sharp tone of the German attacks upon this sub ject continued there was danger that this feeling would be nipped. How ever, he is quoted by the newspa- per as saying public opinion in Amer ica naturally was most concerned by the possibility of an Amercan ship being sunk by submarines.

VERY FEW. CASES IN
 MILITARY COURTS
Despite Frequency Of Spy Stories
 Heard in Paris.
Correspondence of the Associated
 Press


 Paris, Feb. 15.-So far as the pub lie knows, the military courts have thus far had few sensational cases. In view of the frequency of spy stories. many people are astonished d not to hear every day so of trai- tor or a foreign spy being condemned to death. As rule these cases are handed by drum-head court martial, and the culprit has already been shot before the story of his exploits reaches the public if the story is true. It is more the routine business with which the regular sittings of the court mar tial have to do. Desertions, disre- spect to superiors, aggressions of all sorts and misdemeanors make up the calendar.
 A class of cases that is common is like that of Abdallah ben Said Yahion Algerian rifeman, who fell a victim to the warm hospitality of Paris Re- covering from a wound, he was or dered to rejoin his regiment near Marseilles. He had never seen Paris and so many people showered things upon him he thought it was a pity to leave. He lived like prince six weeks, without spending a sou; when finally caught he had no defense ex- cepting the weakness of human na- ture and simply declared: T brave man-want fight"
