zEPS AND SUBS

Berlin, Sept 10, via London, Sept.
20, 7.25 a m. - (Delayed.) m Major
Ernst Bassermann, leader of the Ma
tionsl Liberal party, in keynote
speech delivered on Monday before his
constituents in the Saarbruecken dis
trict, declared that the submarine
campaign had been postponed and
abandoned Major Bassermann advo-
Gated the widest use of both subma-
rine and Zeppelins and the most ruth
less methods Of warfare.
sThe liberal leader asserted that his
views were shared by Admiral Won
Itrpitz, Admiral Won Rooster. Prince
Won Buelow and Count Zeppelin He
maintained that 'in d struggle where
in the existence of Germany is at
stake the most ruthless use of all posi-
sible weapons is called for This
sentiment was heartily applauded by
his audience. Submarines and Yep
pelins. continued Major Bassermann,
were the most effective weapon against
our arch enemy, England"
Referring TO the United States,
Major Bassermann warned his hearers
against trusting for any permanent eff
feet upon American sympathies from
England's black list policy and the
achievements of the Deutschland and
other commercial submarines He
warned them. also. not TO hope that
the present American protests to Eng
land would have any greater effect
than their predecessors.
No prospects Of peace were held out
by the speaker. He told his hearers
That Il would be a delusion 10 believe
That there was any immediate prospect
OF an end to the war. On the con-
lrary, he said, Germany was facing
more difficult war than at first ap-
Deared possible, but nevertheless he
saw no reason TO doubt ultimate vic
tory.

Demand for Release Of TO-.

From Port Of Kavala

London. Sept. 20 (4:20 p. NJ
Reuters Telegram company says
il learns that the Greek govern
ment has submitted a very urgent
note to Germany regarding the re-
mOvaI 10 Germany of Greek troops
from kayala and demanding that
they be released
Athens, Tuesday, Sept. 10. IL 80
2. M. via London, Sept. 20, Il 80
.. NJ Delayed. There is reason
10 believe that the Greek govern
ment has sent an ultimatum to
Germany and Bulgaria, expiring
Wednesday night. demanding the
immediate return of the soldiers
taken prisoner at havala.
When the Greek seaport of Kavala
was entered by German and Bulgarian
troops the city was garrisOned by the
Fourth Greek army corps. According
70 an official statement issued by Ber-
lin. the entire corps, consisting Of
10000 men, asked the German COM
mander for food and shelter and pro-
lection against the entente forces. The
statement said that to prevent any
breach of neutrality the Greek soldiers
Nuulu De transported 10 Germany, 10
be kept there as guests Of the nation.
The German account of the affair
differs radically from that giFea-out
at the allied capitals and from stories
sent out from Athens. The number OF
soldiers transported TO Germany, &C
cOTding to these versions, was less
than a thousand, one account placing
the total at 20 officers and 500 men.
The remainder OF the garrison IS var
iOusly said to have been transported to
Saloniki by the French authorities and
TO be enCamped on the island Of Tha-
SOS. The second dispatch from Athens
reported the arrival Of some members
Of the Kayala garrison in the Greek
capital, but no numbers were given.
Caused Sensation in Greece.
The incident caused a profound sen
sation in Greece and the action of the
Germans was bitterly denounced by
the prO-ally party. Immediately after
Premier KalOEeropoulos took office,
Athens dispatches said. he intended to
demand the return Of the Greek sol
diers from Germany, and that refus-
al Of this demand would be the signal
for the entry into the war Of Greece
on the side Of the entente.
