GERMANS DISAPPOINTED
WITH THE SUBMARINE
BITTER CRITICISM OF THE 40.
MlRALTY OVER THE LACK or
SUCCESS OF U-soATS.

Washington, April o--Disappolnt-
rment in Germany over the lack Of
success Of the submarine campaign Is
pictured as severe in dispatches to-
day from Switzerland. Bitter criti-
cism OF the admiralty, the dispatch
says, has followed the realization that
the under sea war is not accomplish
ing what was claimed for II in the
beginning. One dispatch says;
The accounts in the Berlin papers
OF the recent debates OF the prtn-
cipal committee OF the Yeichstag
upon the subject of the submarine
war let it be clearly perceived In
spite of the censor the severity of the
criticisms which have come to light
The German admiralty was attacked
by the deputies OF almost every party
while Admiral Won Capelle has con-
stantly to resort TO the plea of ex-
tenuating circumstances for the pow
erlessness of the German navy TO OBJ
tain the results calculated. The radi-
cal deputy Gothein, affirmed that the
country had no longer confidence In
the service of the navy. Mr.. Noske,
majority socialist, declared we be-
lieve that 1t IS necessary to make use
of every means OF combat and not TO
consider limiting in any way the
submarine war. Unfortunately the
political fears which we have expert
enced since the beginning are con-
firmed. America is not showing the
least inclintlon TO yield
"Mr. Stresemann, national liberal
leader, expressed HIS disappointment
thus:
"We must confess that the results
Of the submarine war, however, re-
markable as they may be. are far be-
low our hopes The most vehemenent
criticism was made by Er2herger OF
the Centrist, who declared that the
calculations OF the admiralty which
had estimated at the beginning OF
the submarine campaign monthly
destruction of 100000 tons appear
now to be quite erroneous and that
the hopes of the same admiralty
which assured the deputies that the
result sought. that is crushing Eng
land, would be obtained by January

Trying for Reasonableness

II appears that Mr. Amos Pinchot of the quite
respectable few" referred by Chairman kitchin as
favong taxation down to the figures OF reasonable
profit.
Mr. Pinchot has addressed Chairman Kitehin as fol-
lows. the subject:
"Supposing for instance your committee or for that
matter congress itself should pass resolution something
as follows and mail copy to the president OF every a
copies to all stockholders and employees. and post con-
spicuousy about the offices or plants:
In view of the fact that the United States is at

On its face this is a appeal to the patriotism of

hopeless.
Over year ago. it was considered hopeless to depend
