Inquiry Came Through
Neutral Source is the
Berlin Report
WAS SANCTIONED
BY CHIEF ALLIES
Asserts Nothing Was Done
To Facilitate a Direct
Reply
(By Aaaoclated preaa.l

Berlin, Dec. IA, via London.--The
German government received through
a neutral government last September
an inquiry in regard to It's war aims
under such circumstances as to in
dicate that the inquiry was made
with the sanction Of. the British gov
ernment, says an official announce
meat issued here today. The an
noGncement was in reply to the state
ment Of the British foreign secretary,
A. ]. Balfour. In the house OF COM
mons on Tuesday that Great Britain,
in September, had received through
a neutral diplomatic channel a COM
munication to the effect that Ger
with Great Britain in regard to
peace.
The statement says that the cir
cumstances under which the inquiry
was made, allowed the conclusion to
be drawn that the British cabinet
had been informed OF this step, and
that il had been sanctioned by at
least the most important OF its al
lies. and adds:
tThe German government was
ready in principle to answer the in
quiry, and to do this two courses
were open, an indirect or direct reply.
'The decisive objection against an
indirect reply to the medium OF the
neutral power was that any one
sided presentation of the German at
titude, even to a neutral mediator,
might constitute a one-sided restric-
tiop OF German policy without any
gu, antee in regard to the opponents

verb reply through the intermedi-
arr ppeared to be the most oppor-
tue course to follow.

German government that on the part
OF our opponents nothing was being
done to facilitate such direct reply
to the inquiry.

Bismarck. N. d. Dec. 14.-After
attorneys for the defense had brand
ed Attorney General LANCER OF North
Dakota as coward in open court for
his attempt to delay the trial OF
Thomas Hall, secretary of state
charged with embezzlement, and
after the court had insisted that the
state desist from trying to inject
politics into the case, Judge James

several weeks delay, In which three
afhdavits we're filed by the state for
