Amsterdam, Sept. l.-"President VIII.
son was anxious on this occasion to be
non'committal," says the Nolks.zeitung.
for II he had said yes to the papa,
note. that would have meant that he
was taking leave OF ambitious plans nf
his own. while. II he had said no. he
would have unveiled openly his activity
as "A prolonger OF the war and would
have angered the friends OF peace In
the United States who constitute a ma.
jority OF his electors.
HE finds good way out Of this
Quandary by railing at the ruler OF
Germany, and by rejecting every peace
treaty which does not contain the Ger

Questioned about losses of submar.

Admiral Scheer said:
With almost ideal obstinance the
English miss the mark and so far we
have only been met with guns, nets and
mines and not with any new anti-sub
marine appliances l can confirm the
statement recently made regarding our
losses. which on the average are two

equalled by new construction.
Regarding Americas support Of Great
Britain, Admiral Scheer had this to
say:
Il do not underestimate II, neither
do l attach too much Importance TO it.
The Americans may make themselves
unpleasant by means OF increased sup
plies of airplanes. technical material.
etc. but they can hardly harm us SER
iously from a military point OF view,
and they will never become dangerous.
They will not more be able to turn
the scale in favor OF the entente allies
than has Italy or Rumania."
Admiral Scheer expressed his convic.
tion that the submarines will have de
cided the issue of the war before Amer.
