Allies Not Neutral

Berlin, September 2s.-(via London,
September 30.)-Practically all the Ber-
lin newspapers contribute to the Bit
ter criticism which is being made OF
tho Americans who have Joined the
French army. The news of the death
In action of Flight Lieutenant Kitten
Rockwell of Atlanta and Asheville has
precipitated storm of criticism.
The Post says that the presence OF
Rockwell and others in enemy camps
cannot be regarded as the acts of in
dividuais but declares that America
sends its own citizens to european
theatres, Of war to fight Germany
The paper says that the Rockwell
incident shows to what depth re-
gard for neutrality has sunk among
our enemies and in America. Such an
unheard of conception of neutrality de-
serves to be labeled in the plainest
way and not to be forgotten"
The Taglisc Rundschau speaks OF
the concepts of neutrality as entirely
lost and the Kreuz Zeitung Germanis
and Hoersen zeitung print similar
statements.

men on the American government at

1 Any action which endangers American
lives through the sinking of ships with
out warning or by failing to provide
proper safeguards, it was emphatically
asserted, will Immediately reopen the
submarine question. But as yet there has
been absolutely no indication in the Off
cial advices to the department that Ger
many has violated the agreement arrived
at in the Sussex case. Reports of the
sinking of nearly 200 merchant ships since
June have been received officially, but
in no case has it been proved that Amer
lean lives were endangered.
High officials think it unnecessary to
make any formal statement on the sub
ject, as they feel the American position
is fully known at home and abroad. No
OPP, s ton was experienced, however to
a restatement of the governments posi-

Agents of Owners Scout
Rumor Submarine Was
Caught in Net Off
Scotland Coast

Washington, September S0.-Another
report Of the capture Of the German
merchant submarine Bremen reached
official circles here today from unof-
ficial but previously reliable sources
According to the report, which is given
credence by some high military Off
GERS, the Bremen was seen three weeks
ago at the big British naval station at
Eosyth, on the east coast of Scotland,
having been captured in one of the
steel nets used with such success by
Great britain against underwater
craft.
In spite of persistent reports of the
Bremen's capture here agents in this
country apparently are confident that
she is safe on the high seas and will
appear at New London, Conn, in due
time
