BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. August so. via London. Sep
TENDER l.--Dr. Won Bethmann HollWeg,
the former imperial chancellor, today
asserted that il was his impression
that James W. Gerard. former ambassa-
dor to Germany. in writing his reVela-
tions of Germany's war aims, gave a
somewhat free rein to his imagination.
The statement of the former chancellor
was the result of his reading in a Lon
don newspaper Mr.. Gerard'S version of
a conversation with him last January.
in which it was alleged that Germanys
peace terms were set forth.
I'm his published report of this par
ticular conversation" DIR. Won Beth
mann Hollweg told the Associated
Press today, Mr. Gerard attributed
utterances to me which may have been
made in other quarters in Germany.
and to which he frequently referred in
the progress of our conversation, but
which were not my own. This applies
especially to his reference to Germanys
alleged intentions to seize Liege and
Namur. and of Germanys plans to take
possession Sof the Belgian ports and
railways and to establish military and
commercial dominion over that country.
Denies Mr.. Gerard's Statements.
II never unfolded such German war
aims to Mr.. Gerard. In the course of
my several conversations with him, as
also in our discussion last January. l
Invariably referred to my reichstag
speeches. in which 1 stated that Ger
many would exact positive guarantees
that Belgian territory and policies
would not in the future be exploited a
a menacing factor against us. / did
not make any statement as to the ma
ture of those guarantees.
In the progress of our conversation
Mr.. Gerard suggested that the realiza-
ton of far-reaching aspirations in Bel
GUM would give King Albert merely a
sham authority and asked whether it
would not be better for Germany to
forego such plans and instead of them
endeavor to acquire Liege, which Mr.
Gerard thought possible of achieve
ment.
perhaps this suggestion was a bait,
intended to provoke a reply from me
II SO, the attempt failed. In all my
discussions with the ambassador on
this subject l referred to my public
utterances in which l emphasized that
I was endeavoring to procure a peace
that would permit us to live in cordial
and neighborly relations with Belgium.

CONTRACTS AWARDED
FOR THREE SHIPYARDS
Government Plants Will Be Located
at Newark, Chester and
Hog Island, Pa.

Contracts for construction of three
government-owneds hipyards for build
ing fabricated steel merchant vessels
have been awarded by the shipping
boards emergency fleet corporation.
They went to the Submarine Boat Cor
poration for plant at Newark, n. j.;
the American International Corpora
ton for one at Hog Island, Pa, and
the Merchants Shipbuilding Company
for one at Chester. Pa
The yards will cost $35, 100000 and
the government is given an option to
purchase the lands on which they are
located. The builders of the yards are
given contracts for building in them
200 ships. The prospects are that con-
tracts for many more vessels will be
let when these are completed and more
money is available.
The Submarine Corporation will lay
ways for building twenty-eight ships
simultaneously and will have faciii-
ties and equipment to turn out one
5.000-ton ship every two days after the
first vessel is completed.

REPORTS ON FOODSTUFFS
ARE BEING MADE TODAY
Biggest Survey Ever Undertaken Is
| Under Way-Eighteen
| Staples Included.

Preliminary work in the biggest food
survey ever undertaken by this nation
has been completed. Blanks today are
being mailed from thousands of COM
munities. selected as typical in their
territory, in which an exact tally was
made of all foodstuffs in wholesale
and retail establishments and even in
the pantries of homes.
This survey. which is to be followed
by a more comprehensive one later.
surpasses in it's scope those made by
England and France early in the war.
Even Germany's earlier attempts at
such a survey were not so compre-
hensive as that conducted by the gov
eminent here. through the bureau of
markets and a cooperating committee
from the Department of Agriculture
The preliminary survey included
eighteen of the principal food staples.
All dealers are expected to return
the food survey blanks. sworn to before
notary. before September 10. The
results tabulated on them must be
complete until midnight of August 81.

Another Error Alleged.

Mr.. Gerards memory would seem
also to have served him faulty when he
wrote down what was said about Rus
STA. He dealt but specifically with
Germany's eastern war aims, observing
that the United States interest in this
direction was very limited. and that
Germany undoubtedly would have a
free hand there. For Rumania and
Serbia he also revealed very slight
sympathy. Mr.. Gerard did not obtain
out of my mouth any-of the statements

FREE REIN TO IMAGINATION
Dr.. Won Bethmann Hollweg Criticises For

attributes to me-.
The former chancellor then observed:
When diplomats undertake to exploit
poses they are very apt to be misled into
putting into the mouths of foreign
statesmen utterances which either are
the creation~of an ample imagination or
are based on faulty memory. Discus
sion of political opinions is bound to be
| transitory and feeting."
The former chancellor then touched
upon what he regarded as the ethics
of Mr.. Gerard's disclosures as compared
with the European idea.
/ Americans ''Impetuous," He Says.
You Americans are an impetuous
! people, he said. You do not seem to
| permit even your retiring diplomats to
observe the traditional silence. nor
| have you the patience to abide the
| post-mortem publications of their me-
moirs. Sir Edward Goschea former
British amba ssador to Germany and
Austria) or Jules Cambon Former
French ambassador to Germany. the
United States and Spain) probably
could excel Mr.. Gerard in revelations
of entertaining diplomatic history and
gossip. Count Won Bernstorff former
German ambassador to the United
! States). too. l imagine, might startle
US with the diary of his Washington
experiences.
I'm Europe. however. it would seem
that publication of such matters. by
common consent, is postponed to later
periods. when judgments are both calm
and more mature. Mr.. Gerard. how
! ever. may hold the special license con-
ferred by shirt sleeve diplomacy, as
you call it. and l shall not dispute his
prerogatives But he must not give
his ina gination too free rein
Away from the turbulent political
arena, the former chancellor is now en-
joying harvest time on his estate at
Hohenfino. province of Brandenburg,
two hours by rail from Berlin. Dur
ing his conversation with the corre-
spondent he begged off from talking
politics, but assured the correspondent
that the potato crop at Hohenfino was
most excellent.

1T is to be regretted that the council

measure, which was wholly dictated by
military necessity. The incident. how
ever, will not interfere with German
and Austrian plans for establishing a
government that will permit Poland to
enter the ranks of Independent pow

Attitude of the Chancellor.


the chancellor first announced that he
never had declared his acceptance Of the
reichStag peace resolution as the basis
for his peace policy and later. when In
the face of the storm he returned to the
standpoint of the resolution as / inter-
pref it, and his friendly relations with
the conservative party seem to have con-
WINGED most of the so-called majority
party that his Interpretation Of the resolu-
ton is quite different from the surface
meaning Of peace without annexations or
indemnities.
The Berlin Vorwaerts. Tageblatt. Vos-
siche Zeitung. and other organs now ad-
nit that all signs indicate that the chan
cellor belongs to the other camp. and So
cialists and radicals have declared for
war against him II he persists in his
course. On the other hand. DIR. Gustave
Stresemann. the new leader Of the ma
tional liberals. in his program speech be-
fore the reichstag committee declared un-
indemnity and for the safeguarding of
the frontiers. according to the chancellor s
phrase, by annexations east and west.
The merchants of the Hanseatic towns
in enthusiastic meetings at Bremen and
Hamburg have expressed disapproval of
the reichstag majority in endeavoring to
pin the chancellor to the reichstag peace
resolution. They have cheered Chancellor
Michaelis by encouraging kilograms.
At Hamburg the radical representa-
clergyman named Traub. who was I'M
frocked after a sensational heresy trial
shortly before the war. urged contin-
uing the war to a victorious end. He
demanded that Belgium, Longwy and

Germanys conduct Of the war and her
peace were quite as Christian as the

Test of Majority's influence.

A fair test of the extent of the
reichstag majority's influence over
Chancellor Michaelis and the govern
ment will be afforded by the result
Of the majority's ultimatum for an
abandonment of the political censor
ship. giving the government four weeks
until the opening of the reichstag to
show results.
The Pan-German press and the Vor-
waerts are playing with the sugges-
ton of reichstag dissolution as a test
of national sentiment. 1t is doubtful,
however, If either side is seriously in
earnest.
The reichstag committee in its Sc
cret confidential sessions. which were
devoted to the disposition of occupied
territory. took no action regarding the
French provinces and Belgium. Re
ports leaking out from the sittings are
to the effect that the committee took
a stand in favor of the idea of Pol
ish kingdom to a logical conclusion.
namely, the installation at the soon
est moment possible of an actual Pol
ish government and the erasure of the
frontier line which hitherto has d.
vided the occupied Polish districts into
Austrian and German spheres of adj
ministration. The restoration IF Po-
land. Lithuania and Courland to Rus
STA seems to be no part even of the
socialist or radical program.

LITTLE RE|CHSTAG'
GETS LITTLE DONE
Only Tangible Result Is Crea-

By the Associated Press.


COPENHAGEN September 1.-The
short parliamentary interlude in Ger
| many. caused by the meeting of the So
called little reichstag." ended without
other tangible results than the creation
of the double-seven advisory board OF
bundesrat and reichstag representa-
tives to act as a connecting link be
tween the government and the reich
stag in confidential discussion of for
eign problems.
This board. which admittedly is an
experiment and which was designed as
a substitute for parliamentarfsm, also
adjourned after it's first meeting to or
ganize without taking any action on
Germany's reply to the pope's peace
proposal.
Parliamentary life now will take
short sleep until the reassembling OF
the reichstag at the end of September.
The session of the reichstag main com
mittee has shown that Chancellor
Michaelis. like his predecessor. Dr. Won
Bethmann Hollweg. is confronted by a
rccalcitrant opposition in the reichstag
and a movement for his retirement,
though this time the roles are reversed
The liberal and center parties are now
the ones to suggest that the chancel-
lor must go unless he comes over

the conservatives and pan-German ele-
nents support him and urge him to
stand out against the threats and

Due to italian Victory.

COPENHAGEN. September 1.-Italy's
victory on the Isonzo apparently is in
directly responsible for the crisis over
Poland The Vossische Zeitung. accord
ing to Berlin dispatch. says that the
sending of the Polish legions to the
front. because of which the state coun-
ell retired. was due to military neces-
sity. as every available man had to be
thrown into the battle line. The le-
gions. with the exception of detach-
ment of officers and n-commissioned
officers that remained in Warsaw to in
struct recruits. took over a section of
the Austrian eastern front.
The newspapers statement is reve-
lation. because it had not been known
here that the legions already were at
the front relieving troops to reinforce
the Isonzo front. This action was a
violation of the understanding that
Polish troops were to be used only In
the defense of Poland and not the
southern front.

port to President.

Washington, Feb. 3.-News of the
diplomatic break with Germany came
like thunderclap. Everywhere were
expressions of support and sympathy.
One of the first to hear the news
was Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Of the foreign relations committee.
d"Can it be true?" he fairly shouted.
81 didn't believe the president would
do it. l thought there would be an
other note. I'm with him."
The senator emphatically declared,
pounding his desk after moment
hesitation: Now we'd better see to it
that our marines prevent the disman-
harbors."
Vice President Marshall, notified to
arrange for joint session Of congress,
said:
at is sincerely to be hoped that
this necessary break will not drag the
United States into the war. There are
limits, however. to endurance beyond
which no. self-respecting nation can
go. Jhis government cannot permit
the defiance Of all law Of civilization
by any nation to pass uncha1lenged."

Senate naval committee, said:
