Germany Justifies British Blockade

In April negotiations were continued about the sinking of the William P Frye, an Americap boat loaded with food and destined for Ireland. Tte American government on behalf of the owners of the William r. Frye, claimed damages for the boat. Nothing was said about the cargo, but in the Ger man answer it was stated that the car go of the William P Frye, consisting of foodstuffs destined for an armed port of the enemy, and, therefore, presumed to be destined for the armed forces of the enemy, was, because of this, con traband.
 I spoke to Won JagoW about this and told him that I thought possibly it would seem to amount to a German Justification of the British blockade of Germany. He said that this note had been drawn by Director Kriege, who was their expert on international law, and that he would not interfere with KriegeS work. Of course, as a matter of fact, all foodstuffs shipped to Ger many would have to be landed at some armed port, and, therefore, according to the contentious of Germany, these would be supposed to be destined to the armed forces of the enemy and be- come contraband of war,

 LOCAL VISITOR

Ernest G. Metcalfe, an attorney of New York, eastern representative of the Navajo Copper company which is operating in eastern Coconino county, was in the city yesterday with Attor- ney Joseph E. Morrison who is also in- terested in the company. This&Is an old property located many years ago but not accessible until after the con- struction of the bridge across the Little Colorado.
 This is not the first visit of MT Met calfe to Phoenix He was here in 1910. He said he had been since then in all the leading cities and towns of the country and in none of them had there been so great improvement. In 1910 there was no street paving; Phoe- nix was an overgrOwn village and looked it. Now, says Mr. Metcalfe, it has all the appearance of a progressive city.
 Mr. Metcalfe was associated in the Becker trial as attorney for some of the witnesses, and speaking yesterday of that case he said that though Beck er like many of the men above and below him. was a grafter, he was innocent of the murder of Herman Rosenthal for which he was electro cuted.
 MT. Metcalfe is brother of the

of the Germans to be allowed to see something of the operations of the var ious fronts. There came a period, in 1916 when he was no longer invited to go on the various excursions made by the foreign military attaches, and fin ally Major Nicolai, the general intelli- gence officer of the great general head quarters, sent for him carry in the au- tumn of 1916 and informed him that he could no longer go to any of the fronts. Colonel Kuhn answered that he was aware of this already Major Nicolai said that he gave him this in- formation by direct order of General Ludendorff, that General Ludendorff had stated that he did not believe America could do more damage to Ger many than she had done, if the two countries were actually at war and that he considered America and Ger many virtually were already engaged in hostilities On this being reported to Washington, Colonel Kuhn was quite naturally recal ed

get Liebknecht, and it's opportunity came when he appeared in citizens c c-othes at an attempted mass-m meeting at the Potsdamerplatz.
 For the offense of appearing out of uniform after being called and mobil- ized and for alleged indictment of the people he was condemned for a long term Of imprisonment.
 One cannot but admire his courage l believe that he earns his living by the practice of law before one of the minor courts. It is hard to say just what role he will play in the future It is probable. when the socialists set tie down after the war and think things over, that they will consider the leadership of Scheidemann has been too conservative, that he submit ted too readi y to the powers Of auto cracy and too easily abandoned the program of the socialists. In that case, Liebknecht, perhaps, will be made lead CT of the socialists, and it is within the bounds of probability that Scheide- mann and certain of his party may be- come liberals rather than socialists.
 The rush of getting the Americans out of Germany was over in the autumn of 1914. The care of the British civil ans was on a business basis. and there were comparatively few camps of pris- oners of war Absolutely tired by working every day until F at night, I went to Munich for a two weeks rest.
 Germany announced on February 4. 1916, that on the coming February IS, the blockade of England through sub marines would commence.

Arrival in Berlin of Colonel and Mrs.
 House

Colonel House and his wife arrived to pay us a visit on March 19, 1915, and remained until the twenty eighth During this period the colonel met all the principal membecs of the German government and many men of influence
 and prominence in the world of af- fairs, such as Herr von Gwinner, head of the Deutsche bank, and Dr. Walter Rathenau. who succeeded his father as head of the General Electric company and hundreds of other corporations The Co onel dined at the house of Doc tor Solf, the colonial minister, and lunched with Von Gwinner.

Mysterious Negotiations


 Some very peculiar and mysterious negotiations thereafter ensued. An American, who was very intimate with the members of the general staff, came 10 me about February 8, with state ment that Germany desired peace and was ready to open negotiations to that end. It was, however, to be made a condition of these peace negotiations that this particular American sheu d go to Paris and to Petrograd and in- form the Governments there of the overwhelming strength of the German armies and of their positions. which knowledge, it was said, he had obtained by personally visiting both the fronts. It was further intimated that Vos Tirpitz himself was anxious that peace should be concluded, possibly because of his fear that the proposed blockade would not be successful.
 Of course, I informed the state de- partment of these mysterious maneuv- CTS
 I was taken by back stariways to a meeting with Von Tirpitz at night in the rooms in the navy department When I was alone with Von sTirpitz, however, he had nothing definite to say or to offer; ifs there was any op- portunity at that time to make peace, nothing came of it. It looked some what to me as if the whole idea had been to get this American to go to Paris and Petrograd, certify from his personal observation to the strength of the German armies and position, and thereby to assist in enticing one or both ! of these countries to desert the allied cause. All of this took place about ten days before the eighteenth of Feb

The kaiser left Berlin on August 16 for the front. 1 wrote to his master of the household, saying that I wished an opportunity to be at the railway sta tion to say good bye to the emperor, but was put off on various excuses. Thereafter the emperor virtually aban- doned Berlin and lived either in Silesia, at Pless or some place near the west ern front.
 At first, following the precedent of the war of 1870, the more important members of the government followed the kaiser to the front; even the chan cellor and the minister of foreign af- fairs abandoned their offices in Berrin. Not long afterward, when it became apparent that the war must be carried on on several fronts and that it was not going to be the matter of few weeks which the Germans had first supposed, these officials returned to their offices in Berlin. Tn the meantime, however, this rather ridiculous effort to follow the customs of the war of 1870.
 When Won Jagow, minister of foreign affairs, was absent at the grand general headquarters the diplomats remaining behind conducted their negotiations with Zimmerman, who in turn had to transmit everything to the great gen. eral headquarters.
 In August there were apparently rumors afloat in countries outside of Germany that prominent socialists at the outbreak of the war, had been shot The state department cabled me to find out whether there was any truth in these rumors, with particular reference to Liebknecht and Rosa Lux ambtIrg

STATE APPEALS
 SUP PREME COURT

The state is the appellant in a case brought to the supreme court yesterday from Cochise county. The case origin ated in an action brought to recover the forfeited bond of a bootlegger. In March Of 1915, H. E. Russell was ar rested for the violation of the pro- hibition amendment. He was released from the custoday of the arresting of ficer on bond furnished by himself, J. B. Merck and L. D. Mccartney, the last two being merchants of Douglas. The amount of the bond was $500.
 Russell Was held to answer and his bond appears to have been continued without a definite arrangement with his bondsmen. He did not appear for sentence or further proceeding and the pond Was declared forfeited. The state brought suit for the recovery of the pJn,N and the defendants demufred on various grounds. One was that Rus sell wds not made party defendant Another was that the bond was defec tive in form and stil another that the bond was for the appearance of Rus

 Embassy

Liebknecht is lawyer practicing in Berlin, and so 1 telephoned him, asking him to come and see me. He did so, and of course, by his presence verified the fact that he had not been exc cuted He told me that the rumCrs as to the treatment of the socialists were entirely unfounded and said that he had no objection to my cabling a statement that the socialists were opposed to czarism and that he personally had confidence in the German army and the cause of the German people.

 Kaiser Refuses Audiences to Gerard
 The ambassador is supposed to have the right to demand an audience with the kaiser at any time, and as there were matters connected with the treat ment of prisoners as well as this com ing submarine warfare which l wished to take up with him, I had on various occasions asked for an audience with, him; on each occasion my request had been refused on some excuse or other, and I was not even permitted to go to the railway station. to bid him good bye on enc occasion when he left for the front.
 When our military attache, Major Langhorne, left in March, 1915, he had a farewell audience with the kaiser, and l then asked him to say to the kali ser that 1 had not seen him for so1ong Ia time that I had forgotten what he looked like LanghoTne reported to me that he had given this message to the kaiser and that the kaiser said, q have nothing against MT. Gerard personally, but will not see the ambassador of q 
 munition to the enemies of Germany"
 Before the departure of Langhorne, I had succeeded in getting Germany to agree that six American army officers might visit Germany as military ob- servers. When they arrived, I present. ed them at the foreign office, etc, and they were taken on trips to the east and west fronts.
 They were not allowed to see much land their request te he attached to a particular unit was refused. Nearly everywhere they were subject to iu- sulting remarks or treatment because of the shipment of munitions of war to the allies from America, and finally, after they had been subjected to de- liberate insults at the hands of several German generals, Mackensen particu. larly distinguishing himself, the United States government withdrew them from Germany
