COMPLICATIONS
Five Protests Received From American
Government in One Day - Germany

Commanders Acted Within Their
Rights.

Berlin. by Wireless to the Associated
Press, via Sayville, Nov. ga period
of complications may again be i'm
pending in German American rela-
tons. Germany's conduct Of submarine
warfare has brought forth an abund-
ant crop Of American inquiries, of
which Joseph G. Grew. the American
Charge, recently has filed no less than
teh-tive of them today. Six remain
to be answered. including the losses
on the Marina, In which a number of
Americans appear to have been killed
and the liner Arabia, she sinking or
which the American government holds
to be inconsistent with the promises of
the German government regarding the
treatment OF passenger liners.
The United States bases its attitude
in the case OF the Arabia on the as
sumption that 1t was unarmed and tor
pedoed without warning and is un-
able to see that there was adequate
justification for forcing the passengers
into the boats. Washington believes
the submarine commander. on ascer-
tanning that there were women and
children on the decks should have re-
Trained from making an attack.
Germany Is Confident.
Germany in the four cases in regard
to which replies already have been
made was found to have fairly con-
v.ncing answers, which it Is believed
may put quite a different aspect on
|affairs. 1t is pointed out here. .for ex-
ample, that according to testimony OF
her own passengers, the Arabia was
armed and used her cannon; that the
sea was smooth. and that other ves-
sells were near. 1t is argued that the
Arabia, having on board a large num- :
ber Of coolie war workers, should be
regarded as transport.

Creates interest in Washington.

Washington, Nov. 23.--The wording
OF the Berlin dispatch that "a period
of complications may be impending in
German American relations" aroused
much interest in official circles, espe-
cially as the dispatch was allowed to
pass very strict censorship.
Officials refused to disclose details
OF the inquiries sent to Berlin on the
ground that they were only inquiries
for facts and would have very bad
effect on public opinion, If an alarm
were given only to be shown ground
less Many Of the cases now being in
vcstlgated, 1t was said, may fail to
show any violation of German pledges,
but some of the cases are serious.

[By a star Correspondent

Red Oak, Nov. 23.--Not much head
way was made here this morning in the
SANDER suit Of Senator =. F. Jones
against J. N. Wilkerson. the trial be-
ing delayed fot over an hour and a hall
while attorneys argued motion on be-
half Of the plaintiff to strike from the
record the evidence Of Henry King.
George Sparger. Henry Gorley and
Walter Marsh and that to be given by
Bill Delaney as to any statements or
any acts done by w. B. McCaull after
the murder of Joe Moore, for the rea-
son that those statements are hearsay,
immaterial and irrelevant; that it per-
tains to matter after the murder OF
Joe Moore: that they were not made
In the presence Of the plaintiff; that 1t
Is not justification for the defendants g
charges against Senator Jones; that
there is no evidence that w. B. Nc
sCaull ever conspired with the plaintiff
for the murder Of Joe Moore.
The testimony in dispute was given
Wednesday afternoon and was to the
effect that McCaull had exhibited
shortly after the murder what he said
was q part of the skull of Joe Moore.
Counsel for Wilkerson claimed that the
counsel for the plaintiff had already
acquiesced in this testimony by not
making their objections when it was
offered and by cross examination of the
Witnesses and that the evidence was
material to the case. The court sus-
tanned the objection to what Delaney
might say that McCaull had said about
the piece Of bone exhibited, but re-
served his decision on the rest OF the
motion.
Prior to the argument Mrs. Alice
Willard was recalled to the stand fol
further cross examination. More OF
Mrs. Willard's alleged activities in the
case as detective were brought out
when Mr.. Beeson questioned the wit
ness about going to his office. since the
present trial has started and repre-
sse,iting herself to the stenographer as
"a Mrs. Moore, = stranger in Red Oak.
and trying to get Information about the
case. Mrs. Willard admitted going to
Beeson's office but said she got into
it by mistake. She said she couldn't
describe the hallway leading to Bee
sons office and the attorney remarked.
..You can't describe my hallway, which
you saw few days ago, as well as you
can Mansfield. whom you saw four
years ago.
