Foreign Secretary Of Germany
Says Clash Would Be

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, March 1. via London
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman has
made statement before tho reichstag
In regard to tho move made by Paul
Ritter. Swiss minister to tho United
States. to bring about a re-opening of
negotiations between the United States
and Germany. According to a Berlin
dispatch to Reuters. Secretary Zim-
mermann said:
The facts are as follows: On Febru-
ary 8, through the Swiss Federal Coun-
Gil. we received a telegram from the
Swiss minister at Washington to whom,
after the rupture. our interests in
America were intrusted. The telegram
was as follows: In America the wish
exists to avoid war. Should the German
government show an inclination to ne
gotiate about the blockade, the minis
ter Is ready to pursue the matter fur
ther.
Every speaker here has expressly
emphasized that a breach with America
was regrettable and it will undoubtedly
be still more regrettable If 1t came to
war between Germany and the United
States, between whom there are ancient
friendly relations and no political an
tagonism. Economically we are drawn
to each other and should really be eco
nomic allies. Thus it is comprehensive
that the imperial government desires to
might intensity the conflict. For these
reasons we examined the suggestions
which reached US from the Swiss min
ister."

Herr Schiller concluded his remarks by
saying that although a large war indem-

of Riga. Berlin claimed to have bottled
up these vessels completely. Petrograd
indicated belief in the marine depart
ment that there might yet be escape.
Not ony do the Germans now control
Oesel and Dago islands, but they have
apparently seized also the island of
Moon, thus occupying all Of the barrier
islands at the mouth of the Gulf of
Riga. From these as bases, it was be-
ieved here today, Germany plans a
powerful naval campaign to bottle up
the entire Russian fleet in the Gulf of
Finland, or, further than that, a pow
erful offensive against Viborg, Revel,
Cronstadt and Petrograd itself. Such a
naval offensive against the Russian cap
ital has been preparing for months.
All Petrograd dispatches received
here have emphasized that the German
fleet has conveyed but very few troops
if any. Presumably the invading force
on Oesel, Dago and Moon was of sail
ors. Germany cannot now spare a single
man from any battle front for the Rus
sian campaign and this fas a factor
which encouraged observers here to OPP
timism.
Latest dispatches indicated the Ger
man naval fleet was composed of ap-
proximately sixty vessels-three times
as great a force as the Russian defend
ing squadron.

Revel was classified as a naval sta

The great stations command the Gulf

quish Revel without striking blow
in its defense, so far as dispatches have
indicated, apparently indicates realiza-

of the German attacking fleet and fear
of thanking attack on the station
which might be made by landing of Ger
