Kaiser Says U-BOats
Will Win in the End,
Aided by OmnipOtence

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 16.-Mili-
tary and naval experts today are
unable to reconcile statements
recently made by the German
Emperor with events of the last
few weeks showing that the
U-boat is becoming more and
more ineffective. The Kaiser
is said to have made the follow
ing statement in a speech before
a number OF U-boat crews:
"I am certain that our subma-
rines will never rest until the
enemy is subdued. But for this
We need. as we'll as power OF man,
the aid OF God" .
The Kaiser declared that the
submarines had done all expected
of them in the Mediterranean
Sea. Submarine activities, he as
serted. will not be stopped until
the enemy Is vanquished.

SENDING Of TROOPS
TORUSSIA BY JAPAN
HELD IMPOSSIBLE

TOKYO, Nov. 16.-"sending OF
troops to Russia by Japan Is impos-
sible," Minister OF Finance Shade de-
clared today in an address before the
National Economic Associations meet

THE reason is too obvious to eI-
plain" the minister asserted.
THE allies understand Japan's Pc
culiar position In the war" he de-
cIared. Japan has been and will con-

ways than by troops. She has al
ready invested half q billion dollars
directly or Indirectly in the allied
cause. She will maintain that imam
cIal aid. There is no danger in the
Russian situation. The extremists
will never succeed there"

At a meeting Of the board OF dlrec-

The Commissioners were perfectly
justified in discharging Berger, the
Pittsburg Testing Laboratory Co.'S
engineer. and they did so in the in
terest of the taxpayers, deeming it
unwise to pay man $416 month
merely to make trouble Some ink
ling of the situation may be gathered
from the statement of E. C. Hum
phreys. on the stand, that Berger re-
marked to him, in effect, that 80 per
cent of the matter in his reports
which caused the stir about the road
situation was an engineers fight
between him or "his people," and the
Jaudon Engineering Company.
The other matters in the accusa
tions which were worth answering

Lorrin A. Thurston then introduced
