GERMAN NEWSPAPER
STRATEC|STS CRITICAL
Condemn Statement That Sub
marines Have Not Been Sent
to West Atlantic.

Amsterdam April % (via London).-
Count Won Reventlow returns in the
Tages Zeitung to his attack on the
German official statement that there
are no German submarines in the west
Atlantic. He says:
1T would seem that Germany Is
again building hopes on the United
States. Two we'll known American
newspapers are said to have free ac-
cess to the foreign office in Wilhelm
strasse. Which enemy power is to be
approached next?"
The Koelnische Volks Zeitung also
disapproved of the assurance that no
submarines have been sent to Amer
lean waters. 1t says:
we can understand why, for the
present, we refrain from attempts to
blockade American ports. Our sub
marines would be too far from home
and we have better use for them else
where. But surely we have the right
to open hostilities and we do not see
any reason why we should not. Any
how the announcement was not dip

BOTH HOUSES

Strong Element in House Backs
the Administration Con-

Washington, April 23.-The admin
istration bill to create a big war army
by selective draft was under debate
in both houses of congress today. 1t
was taken up in the house for the
first time and in the senate debate
was resumed.
The house bill, as reported by a
majority of the committee, provided
for volunteer enlistment with con-
scription only as a last resort and the
fight for this measure was led by
Chairman Dent of the military COM
mittee, whose supporters felt sure that
they would make a good showing. A
strong element in the house, however,
backed the selectiye conscription plan
advocated by the army general staff
and recommended by the military

AMERICAN VESSEL IS
CHASED BY THE RAIDER

New York. Aprits23.-An American
steamship was chased for five miles
by the German sea raider Seeadler, off
the coast of Brazil on April IL, ac-
cording to the captain of the vessel
which reached this port today. The
Seeadler, previously reported by the
victims of her raids on their arrival at
Rio Janeiro, was formerly the Amer

which the Germans had fitted gasoline
motors
The captain of the steamship said
the raider had Norwegian flags paint

apparently of eight-inch calibre.
This is the first report of the oper-
ations of the Seeadler since crews
