GERMANY THINKS It
CANNOT Be BEATEN
he Dictated to-Crown Prince
Extremely Unpopular.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Berne cor
respondent of the London Daily News
ascribes to the some eminent neutral"
whom he quoted yesterday the nara
tion of a conversation he had with a
prominent official of the Serman For
elgn Office
The neutral asked how the official
class. those behind the scenes re-
garded the situation. The official re-
piled carefully:
THE situation Is not brilliant, but
certainly not bad. We cannot be beat
en- and the chances of winning are
still favorable, We obviously have
had some Establishments We thought
we could crush Europe IN three months,
and We came very near doing it
There have been miscalculations-
diplomatic miscalculations, There
have been military errors also but
the situation today is not unsatisfac-
tory. 1t Is n sheer physical impossi-
biuty to beat us. Mind you. do not
say We are going to dictate peace in
Paris, or even going to dictate peace at
all, but / do say no one shall dictate
peace to us"
The neutral who was in Berlin
| in July said that while confidence in
| the Kaiser remains absolutely una
! hnted and amounts almost to a cult,
on the other hand the unpopularity
! OF the crown prince has lately reached
/ rrr7Trfabte proportions, The working
classes particularly are bitter against
| him, and firmly believe the failure TO
1 take Nerdun was due to his blunders.
They blame his egottsm for the UNI
awaiting sacrifice of more than 200
I goo German soldiers.
I Among these same working classes
the desire for peace Is widespread, but
there Is no indication OF any revolu-
I tiouary tendency which might compel
B the governing classes to mako peace
The commercial and professional
classes share these peace sentiments
Allied threats OF an economic war are
described as a huff

BLOW At
J. B.'S Discrimination
Adds Provision to Revenue Bin Which
win Interfere With Canadian
Fishing Industry.

Washington. Aug. 1s.-The Senate
Finance Committee today struck a
blow at British discrimination against
American fishing interests In the
northern Pacific.
To the revenue bill was added a
provision that will prohibit the I'M
portation into the United States Of
frozen or fresh halibut or salmon
from the North Pacific through any
foreign country except when such tish
are In bond from an American port
This action was in response to rep
reservations made by Senator Jones.
OF Washington, woh today vigorously
attacked the British policy OF dis
elimination against American inter-
ests He recited how similar iegisla-
ton now being pressed I'M Congress
to protect American fishing interests
was interfered with when the Cana
dian government heard Of 1t.
1T acted promptly In the interests
OF its people," said Mr.. Jones. "rhs
State Department received an infor-
NAL and confidential communication
from the British ambassador stating
that the Canadian government had
requested him to say that the pas
sage Of the bill might affect the
friendly relations Of the two countries
That bill IL held up. No report can
be secured. We cannot legislate in
our own interests without the consent
Of Great Britain. They can continue
to discriminate against us. We cam
not legislate for fear OF additional re-
taliation on their part.
What will the Senate do In, the
matter? VIII we submit supineiy to
that declaration from Great Britain
ana refrain from doing what we hnye
q perfect right to do. and what any
self-respecting independent govern
ment would do In behalf OF It's siti-
gems, capital and industry"
The Finance Committee accepted an
amendment intended to meet this dis
elimination and II was in the revenue
bill reported today.
