GERMANS MISLED.

Berlin Foreign Secretary Cites Re-
ports of U. S. Selling Ships.
Berlin, Feb. 12.-With reference
to the present conditions of German
American relations, the German for
eign secretary; DR.: Alfred thinner
man, made the following statement
yesterday. ..s.=--
1--WE now have practically no
snecdv or reliable information about
the United States. The best proof
Of this is furnished by two wireless
messages which were sent February
S by the correspondent in the United
States of the German news agency
and which arrived Saturday, The
contents of these two short messages
were astounding, even sensational,
for they told that the United States
government had not confscated Ger
man ships in American ports nor
interned Germans residing in the
United States.
Until Saturday morning, all we
knew about these matters had passed
through English channels, and the
eist of these reports was that the
United States government actually
had violated the property and liberty
of German citizens"

SUBMARINES TO END WAR.

Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg Quoted
as Expecting Them to Bring Quick
Decision.
Paris, Feb. 12.--The Berlin Kreuse
Zeitung, according to a German dis
patch to the Temps, says that Cham
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg counts
upon the submarine to end the war
quickly.
Every day badly employed adds
the paper, "is lost for Germany and
gained for England, which perfects
her means of defense. We must
hasten our action. Five or six months
will suffice May God grant that we
do not renew with our submarines
our deceptive experience with Zeppe-
Inns"
The newspaper expresses the con-
viction that less than seven weeks
Of submarine war will "put England
