Berlin Journals Think Insult in
Reply Intended for Home Effect

Berlin, Jan. 2.-(Via London, Jan.
3D-The reply of the entente to the
peace proposals Of the central pow
ers is discussed at great length this
morning by the newspapers, which
base their remarks on the unofficial
press version of the note as received
here from French sources. The news
papers are unanimous in saying the
answer of the entente is only what
was to be expected in view of the
utterances of statesmen of the hos
tile nations.
The opinion is expressed that the
note was addressed less to the CEN
tral powers than to the people of
the entente countries and to neutrals;
hence the strong declamatory lam
guage calculated, according to the
German opinion, further to inAame
passions against the Teutonic allies.
In particular it is declared the sec
ton devoted to Belgium is intended
expressly for the American people.
In general the answer is regarded
as the stiffest and most brusque pos
sible and to be couched in insulting

MINES PLANTED
AT BRITISH PORTS
Sweeper Blown to Pieces at
Mouth of Falmouth Harbor
and Seven Killed.
STORY OF PASSENGERS

New York, Jan. 3.-Passengers ar.
irving here on the Holland-American
steamer Nieuw Amsterdam say that
German mines containing exception,

On its arrival off the harbor Of
Falmouth, England, from Rotterdam
British trawler was sent out oi
Falmouth to sweep the channel for
the entrance of the Dutch steamship
The trawler struck mine and was
blown to bits, sever of its crew Of
twelve men being killed. The traw-
lers then preceded the Nieuw-Am-
sterdam, dragging the channel. The
wreckage of the trawler that was
blown up was scattered about The
harbor mouth as the steamship passed
in. Captain Baron said the mines
were laid only half mile off the
actual entrance to Falmouth harbor,
The passengers heard that the mine
planting was started two weeks ago,
prior to the order of the admiralty
forbidding the announcement by
British firms in this country of the
sailing and arrivals Of vessels. They
asserted that the mincs were
anchored instead of being set adrift
promiscuously in the war zone about
the British isles and that submarines
with compartments for divers were
used i'll laying them.
The channel ports of Southampton,
Plymouth and Fair outh were said to
be mined outside first. The passen-
gers heard that mines were placed of
Thameshaven, at the mouth of the
Thames, to catch vessels bound for
London, and later the floating bombs
were placed eff Liverpool, Bristol
