They cannot speak honest words,
having but single meaning. Their ac-

Prince Macmillan has not sounded the
reichstag and secured vote Of conf

offensive.
Macmillan is as much an absolutist
in his power as were any of his prcde-
cessors. Yet he declares no German gov

support Of majority of the reichstag.

GERMANS Pre- Tend
. ACCEPTANCE ONLY
TO DIVIDE ALLIES
Evidence Seen On All Sides
That Plan Is Made For
Diplomatic Wrangle.

London, 0cS. 22.--(British admiralty
wireess.) The German method of con
ducting international discussion makes
II difficult to believe in her sincerity,
or professions Of sincerity. Examina-
tion OF the original German sccono note
to President Wilson shows customary
German subterfuge in pretending to ac-
cept what she certainly does not mean
to accept.
The second German note said Ger.
many accepted the presidents thesis,
the German word used being "satz. I"
What the president asked was whether
Germany accepted his terms. = The
answer was a deliberate indication to
avoid acceptance of the terms.
This is proved by the fact that the
German translation of the first Ameri-
can reply contained not the word
Z" satzev but the word ssbedingunen," T"
the latter being an accurate transla-
tion Of the word terms in the sense Of
conditions.
Thus Germany clearly understood the
question and gave crooked answer.
Reference to German newspapers OF
October 13, IA and Is shows that no.
body in Germany imagines for q mo.
ment that Germany has accepted
terms.
Acceptance Of these was taken on all
hands to mean only acceptance OF the
basis for negotiations and the whole
press continued its assertion that Ger
many would not surrender either Al
SAGE Lorraine or Prlssian Poland.
II will be remembered also that the
portion of the German chancellor s
speech which implied the same refusal
was carefully taken from the version
Of the speech which Germany sent
abroad.
Gcrmany's conservative press com
ment naturally has taken that view Of
the position land liberal papers are
equally emphatic.
The Berliner Tageblatt speaks thru
out Of the "guiding principles and
says the whole German concession con
sists merely of an admission that the
question Of Alsace-Lorraine and Po
land are now international questions
1t protests against the appeal for free
dom Of Prussian Poles and says "only
completely defeated Germany could
agree to separation Of the eastern
marshes from Prussia.
Elsewhere the Tageblatt says there

Mayor Strange has offered his services
20 the local fuel administrator to serve
him i'm any possible way to avert a
condition that took place last year in
Annapolis when there was great suf-
fering on account of lack of sufficient
coal That Admiral Eberle last year
in an emergency did a generous thing
when he Communicated contractors
trucks and quickly delivered to the
employees of the Academy, enlisted
men and families of enlisted men at
sea, coal and thereby relieved great
distress is no reason why anyone
should expect such action on his part
this year.
ITO sum up the whole situation
briefly, my sole object in entering into
this matter, is that more coal shall be
shipped to Annapolis; that a better
system of distribution shall be put in
operation; that those having coal in
their cellars shall receive no more
until those who have no coal have
been supplied with a limited amount.
1t should be understood that ! will do
nothing TO embarrass the local fuel
administrator in working out a just
plan, but ! pledge myself and the Ma
