URGES WAR ON
UNITED STATES
Admiral Won Tirpitz Issues
Manifesto in Berlin.
AMERICA BRANDED AS FOE

RRNCNAA0 NJ Siii IStN0 ttiN
Warfare Says Entrance of Uncle
Sam Into the Conflict Would Not In
jure German Cause Any More Than
Present Attitude.
Washington. Aug 25.-Admiral Won
Tirpitz, who advocates unrestricted
submarine warfare on merchantmen,
has issued a manifesto demanding war
with the United States
Information to this effect has been
received by the state department and
has caused considerable concern to
tie officials. Won Tirpitz insists in
his statement that Germany is han
dicapped in the prosecution of her life
and death struggle by the limitations
imposed upon submarine operations
by the German government, at the in
stance of the United States.
He argues that this country, in any
case, is hostile to Germany and that
the time has gone by to consider its
wishes He believes should the Unit
ed States enter the war on the side Of
the allies it would do no more harm
to the German cause than it already
has done
The text of Won TirpitZ memoran-
dun was published by the Berlin
newspapers. The foreign correspond
ents were not permitted to transmit it
to their papers.
AS a consequence only the neutral
diplomats have been able to forward
it by cipher messages and in their Off
eial mail pouches.
IL Is not believed by the authorities
that the kaiser will permit himself
and his government to be Influenced
into the adoption of hostile policy to-
ward the United States.
Neverth eless it is considered highly
significant that the papers were per
mitted to publish the Won Tirpitz man
ifesto and that at the same time the
German authorities gave to the press
the fact that the American govern
ment had made confidential inquiries
in regard to a submarine attack on
the American steamer Owego

ADMIT GERMAN SHIPS LOST

LONDON. June S.-A German official statement ls- sued yesterday admits the sinking of the large German battle cruiser Luzow and the small cruiser Rostock in the North Sea battle of last week According to dispatches received the boats sank on the way to harbor after the fight Earermenton of their loss was not made the dis patches say because of military conditions" The full official report of the battle is evidently not ready on either side although the people feyershy eager to get the full truth The loss of many of our sailors and big ships the death of Lord Kitchener and his staff and the fall of Vaux have come so close together that very u favorable impression has been made on the general public The officials and newspapers still maintain that even the fact that we could afford better than Germany to lose ships makes the battle practically victory if not an act ual one.
