GERMAN LADY .
IS MURDERED

Theory Of Death Of Daughter of
l. German Minister is Brought
Forward.

Toxic. April 7.-tcorrespondence
Of the Associated Press. )-Japanese
authorities assert that there is no
evidence that h recent murder OF
Mrs. 1rma Won Saldern, daughter OF
Vice Admiral Eduard Won Capelle.

naval chief, and that the murder was
committed undoubtedly by a Japanese
burglar. The fact that the crime oc-
Cured at a time when Germany's un-
restricted submarine warfare was
holding world interest, the authori-
ties declare. was merely a coincidence.
Nevertheless. the tragedy is widely
discussed in diplomatic circles,
Irma vQn Saldern was a beautiful
woman OF twenty-eight years who
passed her time in seclusion near the
German prisoners camp at Fukuoka.
the s~outhernmost island Of Kyushu.
Her husband, Captain siegried Won
saldern, was one Of the most promi-
nent German officers taken prisoner
by the Japanese at the surrender of
Won Saldern was q member of q
we'll known German family with a
seat at Dessau and his marriage with
the daughter Of the German minister
was a happy In China, Captain
Won Saldern was an intimate friend
of Governor o Waldeck. the com
mander Of Tsing-tau fortress. After
with her two children, followed her
husband to Japan and rented a FASH
ionable Japanese house near the COM
pound in which her husband WAS an
officer-prisoner.
There she lived quietly, rarely leav-
ing her children except to visit her
husband and some Of his officer

weeks ago she suggested that she
leave Japan with one of her boys. to
further his education and try to re-
turn to Germany. Her husband urged
her to remain. She consented.
One morning, when q domestic en-
tered, she found her mistress stretch
ed upon the floor Of a bedroom life
about her neck showed that she had
been strangled to death. The police
reconstructed the crime in this way:
The assassin entered with a poniard
or short sword and stabbed her. When
h a unconscious or helpless,
he cut the electric wire or cord which
connected the lamp with a wall fix
ture and. making a moose, choked the
woman to death. There were evidence
es that burglary was committed.
The next act of the tragedy came
three days later, twenty-four hours
after the funeral of Mrs. Won Saldern.
Captain Won Saldern was i~nconsolable.
The fact that he had urged his wife
to remain preyed upon his mind and,
apparently ne did not forgive himself.
About the hour of his wife's murder,
he detached from the wall of his
house an electric>cord similar to that
with which she was strangled, fixed it
to the chandelier in his salon and
committed suicide by hanging.
The press maintains silence con-
corning the tragedy. The police are
making every effort to discover the
murderer.

German Paper Accuses President
of Untruth in Address
to Congress.

Amsterdam, via London, April Z. $3.50
a. m.-The Weser Zeitung of Bremen
processes amazement at President
Wilson'S speech, which it calls IAN
accumulation of misstatelnents, hate
full insinuations and one-sided preju-
dices." The paper continues:
IF ever a power threw itself into a
big war without sufficient cause, it is
the United States. which believes it is
a peace power because it is democrat
ically governed"
The Weser Zeitung SCOTS at the pa
triotic demonstrations in America as
manifestations of the very militarism
which Americans declare must be de-
stroyed. 1t sees in the desperate APP
sign that England will soon collapse.
Seeks Revolt.
The Lokal Anzeiger, in a violent
article a y that President Wilson's
attempt to "inveigle the German PEG
pie into a revolt against the dynasty
beats anything for sheer hypocrisy
in the records of the world"
It says that the history of the origin
Of wars shows the xac opposite of
a Mea1 ruled rTi BY a par hansen men Son system
namely that It is just the people who
become tools of small groups of
ambitious men," 1t contends that in
such states az in absolute monarchies
the foreign policies remain controlled
by a few persons who know how to
guard themselves from outside inter-
ference.

The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine

"A certain phrase in President Will

self as tho bearer Of true freedom to
our people. who are engaged in a
severe struggle for their existence and
liberty. What slave soul does he be-
when he thinks that it will allow its
