GERMANY AFTER CANAL
Outbid l.. S. For Nicaraguan Route
Says Senator Stone.

Washington. Feb. 15-That Ger
many had offered Nicaragua a larger
sum than the United States for al.
option on the Nicaragua Canal route
was urged in the Senate yesterday
as an argument for early ratification
of the pending treaty.
Several Senators said they had been
informed during the course OF the de-
Date that Germany has long sought an
option on the canal route. and thai
efforts were made soon after France
undertook construction Of a canal and
had been renewed more recently.
Memhur Of the Foreign Relations
Committee denied reports that there
was any documentary evidence In
possession Of the committee on the
subject.
"Of course, we have heard reports
that Germany sought to obtain the
NlcaraglIan Canal route said Son;r
tor Stone, chairman OF the committee
Whether she offered S9.0O00G0 or
$I2,000,O00 or $20,000,000. do not
know. We haze no means of knowing.
That Germany was actuated by the
same motive in seeking this canal
route that France had in the original
Panama enterprise is apparent to
everyone. Personally. ! think it would
be to the great political disadvantage
OF the United States for any Euro
pcan government to have control Of
L canal route across the Pan-:Ameri-
can isthmus."
