TAKES A LAST FLING.
Won Bernstorff Somewhat Caustic as He
Leaves for Home.

Hoboken. N. j.. Feb. l5.-Count Jo'
ham Fl. Won Bernstorff, former German
ambassador to the United States, sailed
for home yesterday aboard the Scandi'
navian- American liner Frederick VIII
With him was the Countess Won Bern
storff and nearly 200 German diplomatic
and consular officials. The departure
which completes the severance of diplo-
matte relations between the United
States and Germany, was accomplished
quietly and was marred by no outward
incident.
Before the steamer left at 4 o'clock
the former ambassador held final con-
ference with Minister Ritter OF Switzer-
land, who has assumed charge OF Ger
man interests in this country.
Count Won Bernstorff, his wife and
other members of his suite, received sew
eral wagon loads of flowers and gifts.
The ambassador sent ashore a statement,
in which he said:
81 cannot refrain from a last EXPIRES
sion TO the American people for the
wealth of flowers and gifts sent to the
countess and myself. 1t is hard to tell of
the good will sent us both. No express
sion of gratitude would be adequate to
speak an affectionate farewell"
Discussing the neutrality of the Ameri-
can people, he said that naturally per
sons sympsthies are where he does bust
ness" and he defended Germany from
the charge of being a violator of the
rights of humanity or the principles of
international law. by asking first wheth-
or it was humane for England, by her
blockade, TO 'try TO starve out the non
combatant populstion-our women and
German babies" and then by calling at
tention to an American note which de-
clared the British blockade TO be illegal
and indefensible.
OF the possibility of averting war. the
former ambassador said he considered
that to be conditional upon Germany
being able TO bring the entente to It's
knees before anything happens TO involve
the United States" He was emphatic
in declaring that -the submarine cam
paign is bound to increase in intensity
as the weather gets warmer"

APPELMANN CHARGE
WAS NOT SUSTAINED
Majority of Investigators Find That Uni
versity of Vermont German Profess
sor Was Not Guilty of Un-
American Acts.

Burlington, Feb. Majority and mi.
nority reports of the University of Yer
mont alumni committee on the investi-
CATION of charges of Americanism pre-
ferred against Prof. Anton Appelmann,
professor of German and German litera-
ture at the university, were submitted
last night to the executive committee of
the board of trustees of the university
The majority report finds that the
charges preferred against Prof. Appel
mann were not sustained, but the mi
nority report, which is signed by Henry
B. Shaw, chairman of the investigating
committee, finds that the accused was
guilty of un-Americanism in seeking ad-
vice from Berlin as to how to conduct
himself while citizen of the United
States.
The executive committee, which also
considered the resignation of Prof. Ap-
pelmann, submitted after the break be-
tween the United States and Germany,
voted to continue Prof. Appelmann in
Office until Feb "a, when a meeting of
the full board of trustees will be held
and the whole matter taken up.
The case against Prof. Appelmann was
based largely on correspondence which
passed between him and DIR. Rohrbach,
who was head Of the information bureau
of the German navy at New York, the
charging that the Burling
ton man received instructions as to what
he should do in the service of Germany
and that he was really under the orders
of the German government.
In the majority report it was held that
DR.. Rohrbach was not authorized by the
German government to give instructions
to the accused and that Prof. Appelmann
should not be held guilty OF the charges.
The majority report is signed by Edward
II. Deavitt of Montpelier, Edwin w.
Lawrence of Rutland, Prof. Carroll w.
Doten of the Massachusetts, Institute of
and NJ. G. Robbins of New
York.

The above issue of bonds is made neces-
saTy by the continued, steady, marvellous
growth of the number of children of
school age in the city.
During the past year the Board of Di-
rectors has been petitioned by the pa
irons of over thirty different locations in
the district, some asking for additional
and much needed playground, others for
the completion of buildings, only a por-
ton of which was constructed out of the
last bond issue, others for new buildings,
to replace old ones almost beyond use,
and still others in newer districts of the
city for new sites and temporary build
ings.
1t has been the policy of the board for
several years to build all school houses
on permanent locations as nearly fire
proof as possible, using stone, brick, steel
and concrete in the construction of same.
There are today scattered over the en-
which it is impossible to heat or ventilate
properly and which should be replaced
as soon as possible with sanitary. conVen-
lent and healthful buildings.
The annual report of the board for
year ending June 80, 1916. contains an
issues of 1912 and 1913 We're expended.
