attacked without warning, was struck
by two torpedoes and that deliberate
attempt was made to murder the sur
vivors" by Smelling the boats in which
they took refuge, and that the master
and chief engineer were killed, while
two other engineers were believed to
have been drowned.
The German communication asserts:
CONTRARY to this, the report or the
commander Of tho submarine being now
at hand, it is stated that only one tor
pedo was discharged at the Westmin-
steri that the submarine during the
whole affair did not fire a single can
non shot. and that when the submarine
emerged, after firing the torpedo, the
Westminster had sunk. The report that
the Westminster crew was shelled
when they tried to save themselves
from the sinking ship therefore is an
invention.
after the Westminster sank the sub
marine attempted to approach the small
boats, but sighted patrol steamer, the
approach of which made the work OF
rescue impossible. The submarine, out
Of considerations Of It's own safety, was
compelled to leave, and could do THIS
all the more without hesitation since 1t
seemed guaranteed that the crew OF the
Westminster would be taken on board
the patrol steamer.
"lhe report of the British Admiralty
therefore is untrue in all its details,
and the intention to influence public
opinion is clearly written on its race.

Many man with small income and
a large family has great troubles to

"Our enemies make a great mistake

Anti-American War Talk
GRAVY SAYS 'VorWaertS'

The Hague, Jan. 1.-THE Berlin
''Vorwaerts" sharply rebukes the Con-
servative member of the Prussian Diet,
Freiherr Won Maltzahn, who at a politi
cal meeting at Stralsund delivered a
strong anti-Americsn speech, in which
he said:
"If America comes into the war we
will remember the words of Frederick
the Great: The Prussisns do not ask
how many are their enemies. but where
they are"
The "Vorwaerts" says: "Such crazy
talk is calculated to play into the hands
of the anti-German press in America
and Illustrate those who in the event
uslity of a German-American breach
would work for peace. The inevitable
reply 10 the latter would be that the
Germans themselves say they wanted
war with America. The German people
may yet call Won Maltzahn and others
like him TO account for their thought
less talk"

Adams Better Progressive

Senator GrannO

tFrom IRE Tribuns Bureau

Washington. Jan. 17.-That homely
expression, "A tempest in a teapot"
was used to-day by one OF the strong
est Progressives in the Senate to ex-
press his opinion Of the row which has
been kicked up by the appointment Of
John T. Adams, OF Iowa, rs vice-chair-
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee.
George W. Perkins, who has let fly
his heaviest batteries because Of Mr..
Adams's appointment, cannot count on
much sympathy from Western Repub-
licans Excluding California, of course
if the opinions and feelings of Progress
sive members of the Senate can be
taken as reflection of their opinion.
A canvass of all the Progressive mem
bers of the Senate and of a great many
of the House develops no hostility to
Mr. Adams. By all who know him the
Iowan is looked upon as liberal mem
Der Of the Republican party and one
who would be friendly, and not hostile,
to Progressive doctrines and Progress
sive legislation.
Adams Better than Perkins"

"Do you believe" another Progress
sive Senator was asked, "that as mat
ter Of fact it was good judgment to APP
point a vice-chairmsn of the national
committee? Is such an official needed
now?"
"Well," he replied perhaps we don't
need a vice-chairman now, but we GER
tainly do need a chairman, and guess
all the ran kand file of the Republicans
of the United States will agree with
that. What is needed more than any
thing else, however, in my judgment
and in the judgment of many OF my
friends here, is cessation OF TINS ever
lasting fighting and pulling and haul
inc over nothing. Let these howlers
save their voices and their energies for
the primaries. That is the place to
fight"
But Mr.. Adams appears to have
been appointed by the stsndpat crowd
of the Republican party" the same Sen
ator WAS told.
"Maybe So" he replied, "and il SC
they were wise, for il is a good appoint

Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and
Norway and handed them copy Of the

In so doing, he told them that their

Allies regarding peace, and the reasons
the Allies believed it impossible 70

Premier BRAND took occasion to pay

Both standpstters and rrogressives
appear TO think IL likely that Mr..
Adams may become chairman OF the
committee. But if he ever does, it
will be because he has done work JUS
tifying such honor and because a ma
