Athens. Thursday, Oct. 19-(Via

newspapers publish letter, said to
nave been sent by the American con-
sui at SalOniki to NJ. Politis, foreign
minister Of the provisional govern

venizelos. expressing the "sincere
nope of being able to continue with
the de facto government the cordial
relations always heretofore existing
between the authorities and the con-
sulate.'
The adherents Of M. Venizelos claim
that this constitutes recogniztion of
the provisional government by the
United States. The American minis
ter, Garrett Droppers, denies that any
consul has been authorized to do more
than cultivate essential relations with
the de facto authorities in Mytilene
and Crete as we'll as Saloniki.

Amsterdam (via London), Oct. 90
"A demand for the stoppage of the
submarine warfare coupled with an
appeal to the United States to take
the initiative toward that end is
voiced by the TELEGRAPH. The Tele-
graaf says:
'"Ten days have elapsed since the
submarine war was carried to the
doors of America and nothing has
been done. Are we to understand
that our ships are allowed to be tor
pedOed right on the American coast
We say in all frankness to America
that submarine warfare must be stop
ped and Germany must be told that
mistakes, which all the world know
are no mistakes, will no longer be toll
Grated. Let America speak the re-
leeming word lest she rue deeply in
the future having neglected n task
plainly to be expected from the
mightiest neutral"

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 3O.-Hugo
Muensterberg, professor of psychol-
ogy at Harvard University, in an ad-
dress tonight before the International
Political Club, of the university, as
serted that he had been reliably in
formed that Russia and Germany
would sign terms of a separate peace
before spring, and that after this
peace there would be an alliance be-
tween Germany, Russia and Japan.
Il know from reliable sources" he
said, that Russia is out Of joint is
half bankrupt, is starving and will
be ready for separate peace before
spring. The result is to be an alli-
ance between Germany, Austria, Rus
sia and Japan. Japan and Russia are
pushing toward this combination and
an overwhelming majority of the Ger
man people would welcome it today.
1T is the old Bismarckian tradition
that Germany ought to be the friend
Of Russia and that such an alliance
would be her surest protection.
If we really want to bring peace
for generation there is no hope but
to bring Germany and England to an
understanding before Germany and
Russia have made peace and formed
an alliance. Neither the English nor
the German people want this peace to-
day, but they ought to want it, for
once the new alliance is formed it
will seek to crush the ambition of
England for world power.
Some neutral groups in Europe are
seeking to bring about this under
standing between Germany and Eng
land. Yet real success can be expect
ed only IL the government OF the
United States undertakes this master
work"

VeSnSh8tOu, Oct. 1S.--LOSS or tho
German submarine merchantmen n
Bremen virtually was conceded to-
day by ranking Tcutonic diplomats in
position to be familiar with the
movement Of the vessel The Bremen
Is one month overdue.
1t was admitted that German off,
cials We're without information as to
the fate Of the Bremen. All they
know IL that she set out for America
from Bremerhaven and that she
should have arrived at an American
port soon after the middle OF last
month.
The disappearance of the Bremen,
VIII not cause abandonment Of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the
United States. II was said. There ap-
peared to be reason to expect that
another sub-sea freishtsr. either the
Deutschland or some other, would
reach an American port somo time
within the next month.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands Of the British
unless the had some accident 20 her
machinery. They pointed out that,
unlike naval submarines. merchant
submarines avoid all localities fire.
Quented by shipping and therefore are
not open to the same risks.
Reports that the Bremen had arriv-
ed safely In New London were pub
l.shed in newspapers in Germany
more than two weeks ago. n
The Bremen was commanded by
Capt. schwarkopf and carried u
crew OF approximately Is men. ;
One Official said Il was considered
most likely that the Bremen had mot

Another argument advanced In
support OF this theory was that the
Bremen had aboard a number Of i'm
portant documents for the German
esnbassy here which probably would
have been made public had they
fallen into the hands Of the British.
