BERLIN DENIES
AMERICANS ARE
BEING DETAINED
Under Secretary for For
eign Affairs Sees Plot to
Force Reprisals.
WILL NOT BE TRAPPED
Says RumOrs Of Germans Be-
ing Ill Treated in U. 8.
Reach Him.
WILL NOT BE TRAPPED

BERLIN. June 2. via London tSunday.
The German Governments desire TO
facilitate the departure Of Americans
wishing to leave Germany was reiter-
ated to-day by Baron Won Den Bussche-
Haddenhausen. Under secretary for
Foreign Affairs. in a statement to the
Associated Press.
"Rumors that we are intentionally de-
taining citizens of your country are
wholly without foundation" said the
Baron. I'VE are aware that such asser-
uyns continually are being made ap-
parently with the purpose Of influencing
the United States Government into
adopting reprisals.
ION the other hand. unconiirmed
stories reaching us through familiar
mischief making sources to the effect
that Germans in the United States are
being molested will fail OF their object
to trap us into taking similar action.
which appears the sole purpose OF these
canards.
"As has been explained repeatedly
citizens OF all neutral and hostile coun-
tries desiring to leave Germany must
conform to hxed police and military
passport regulations. restrictions which
also rigidly apply to our own citizens
desiring to cross the frontiers or leave
on vacation trips. II Is quite plain
that the routine ceremonies involved In
the issuance OF such permits not only
, are time consuming but frequently are
attended by petty annoyances which are
apt to be mislnterpreted.
Not only are Americans perfectly
free to leave Germany, but they will be
accorded the same official accommoda-
tions that we extend to subjects OF othe,
countries as we'll as to our own people
In this respect the same restrictions ar.
Imposed here as in other warning coun-
! tries, and It is quite plain that there car
, be no exceptions to the established
| regulations to Americans.
1.-THE duty OF the officials Is uniform
| and positive, only IN that way can dis
ordinations be avoided. In isolated In
! stances there may be unavoidable delay
| due to the desire OF the authorities &c
make personal investigation Of the APP
plicants reservation, which Is quite
natural under war conditions.
The fact that Americans CONSTANT,
are leaving Germany would seem to In
dicate that we are not making attempts
to detain them unduly or TO show In
| tentional discrimination. We trust th'
same accommodating attitude is beint
assumed toward our citizens in th'
| United States

RIDDER SAYS U.BOATs GAIN.
Average Daily sinkinss in Early
May Put ~ rs ships.

The Now Yorker Stddts-Zeitung prints
in English this morning over the sigma
ture Of Bernard II. Ridder digest OF the
various official and unofficial reports
covering the German submarine cam
paign since the Teutonic declaration of
ruthless warfare. The article tends to
show that the losses through submarines
are increasing steadily and declares that
the British reports are absolutely un-
trust worthy and misleading" Mr., Rid
der draws the following conclusions:
THESE various reports bear out tho
letter made public the other day by JUS
tice' Scudder of Brooklyn and indicate
that the submarine menace Is still by no
means under control by the Allied
Powers, According to the figures which
they present the sinkings In March aver
aged eight vessels n day, In April eleven
vessels a day and In the first six days OF
May eighteen vessels day. As for the
rest we shall have to await further neu-
trail reports

LONDON, June A Berne despatch
says that President Schulthess of Swift
zerland In a speech discussed the reports
that the United states was determined
to cut of Switzerland from foodstuffs
lest they help Germany directly or in
directly. He declared that it was i'm
possible 10 believe that the United States
would adopt such course. because
Americans had always been friends Of
the Swiss nation, and moreover. the
other Allies were convinced that Switser-
land complied with every requirement
and did not allow foodstuffs tn reach
the Teutonic Powers.
The Swiss President pointed out that
the United States was now the only

AHc ACTUAL total bread ana FODDER
grains together is 97I 200. .0c0 bushels,
but Mr.. Hoover said to-day that the re-
quirements easily would reach 1,00O,-
100000 bushels. as an addition would
have to be made to compensate for the
submarine slnkings.
TIE Hoover estimate was given out
as the result OF an interview published
this morning with Emile Level, food
representative on the permanent French
commission. NJ. Level estimated the
needs at 10000, 900 bushels, but as he
assured Mr.. Hoover to-day the estimate
was food grains alone and did not take
into account the fodder grains.
These are just az necessary to the
Allies for the maintenance OF their dairy
and meat supplies and the feeding of
their cavalry horses as are the bread
grains for the bread supply Of the peo-
ple," said Mr.. Hoover.
''It will of course be impossible for
North America to furnish all this guam
tity, although the major load must fall
upon us. In any event II emphasizes the
necessity Of control Of our exports in
order to control prices and protect our
supply and the necessity for conserva-
tion and elimination OF waste In order to
increase the volume OF our exports"
The quantity Of grain that the United
States can send abroad to its allies and
to neutrals without producing a serious
shortage here will be determined by a
special grain executive working with Mr.
Hoover. After the purchase has been
made the grain will be apportioned
among the European allies.
