 CREWS OF TRANSPORTS
Is Recommended by Quartermaster
 General Sharpe.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Immediate legislation to bring the crews of trans ports, mine layers and other army vessels into the military service is urgently recommended by Quarter master General Sharpe in his annual report, made public tonight. Contin- ua1 difficulties with civilian crews are described with the conclusion that grave danger can be averted only by making officers and men subject to military discipline

 General Sharpe probably win appear this week as a witness in the senate military committed investigation of army war preparations and his testi- mony with its proposal of still an- other plan may result in general air ing of the subject before the commit tee.

GRAND ADMIRAL VON
 TTRPiTZ'S VIEW OF WAR
Says That Up to the Present Great
 Britain Has Won.

Amsterdam. Dec 16.-The German papers contain lengthy accounts of the speech of Grand Admiral Won Tir- pitz before the Hamburg branch of the Fatherland Party. in which the admiral said:
 up to the present in this war Great Britain has won. rather than lost Peace based on the status quo ante or on renunciation. therefore. is out of the question for Germany.
 With reference to the runnor that Germany would give up Zeebruggee and Ostend if the British if the Brit ish evacuated Calais, von Tirpftz said:
 .'The evacuation of Calais would never be equivalent to the loss of such first class security. Moreover, the Cbrnne1 tunnel will become fact af- ter the, war. For real security we should have. besides Flanders and Antwerp, Calais and Boulogne. The rumor in question is a screen behind which the question of Flanders might be permitted to disappear. "Thes pretext that we cannot coerce Great Britain and America falls to the ground when we consider the growing scarcity of the cargo space of our ruthless arch-enemy- The time fer final decision will come when real distress begins to take the place of merely threatening distress. That time will come. It is only a question of keeping cool"

USED WIRELESS APPARATUS
 WHILE SHIPS BAND PLAYED How Germans Attempted to Create War Between United States and Japan.

Honolulu, Dec. 16.-while the ships band was playing lively tunes to drown out all tell-tale sounds, the wireless apparatus of the German cruiser Geier, at the time she was in termed in this harbor, relayed mes United States and Japan in further ance of a plot to embroil the two countries in war, according to an ar- ticle printed in the Star Bulletin here. The article. which is published with the authority of the United States ma val intelligence bureau. declares that the seal placed on the Geier's wire less by the American Ngocernment was broken by the Germans in order that the messages might be transmitted.

Schroeder. former German consuls at Honolulu and Manila, were also implicated. Both pleaded guilty in San Francisco re- gently to complicity in a plot to es- tablish a revolutionary government in India.
