EdlUard A. Filer,e
Says Won CapelIe
Misquoted Him

BOSTON, July s.-Edward A. Filene,
of this city, tonight denied the truth
of statements of Vice Admiral Won
Capelle in the Reichstag, as given in
dispatch from Amsterdam, quoting
Mr.. Filene as having said ship con-
structlon would not equal or exceed
submarine sinkings before the spring
of 1919, and that reports Of reduct .ons
in the number of sinkings were based
on hope.
In the usual method Of manuiact-
uring propaganda to mislead the Ger
man people with which we have become
SC familiar" Mr. Filene explained,
"ViceAdmral Won Cap2lle tried to
bolster up his case by tearing three
or four lines from the context of my
address before the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York on May T. | said in
that address: by November of this
year we shall be turning out some
thing like 100000, 100000, 100000 tons
than we turned out in the ordinary
years before the war, an incredibly
great quantity and a triumph
when I said it would be in the
sLring of 1919 before we could catch

Brand Capelle's
Figures on U-Boats
AS Exaggerations
Give Big Steamers a Day"
Typical Food for Germans,
Say u. S. Naval Officials

WASHINGTON. July S.-Optmistic
statements on submarine accomplish
ments made by Admiral Won Capellc.
German Minister of Marine, before the
kelchstag last Saturday, were de-
scribed to-day by naval officials here
as typical of the misinformation which
is being given the German people. Sec
retary Daniels, after reading the cabled
extracts from Admiral Won Capellc's
speech this morning, remarked that he
preferred to take Admiral Sims's view
of the situation.
Admiral Sims always is sure of his
facts before speaking" Mr.. Daniels
said. "You have noticed that he makes
very few statements"
Won Capelle's statement that an
average of Give big steamers" day
is being DESTROYED was branded IS a
gross eSaggeration. Taking 5000 tons
as the average per ship, a low figure,
this would mean that the German sub
marines are accounting for 45O, 900
tons month. Some officers sug-
gested that the German Minister Of
Marine evidently is forcing himself to
believe that submarines failing to re-
port over an extensive period have
simply been delayed in their return.
In the course of time, however, the
failure of individual members of their
crews TO return home would force an
admission of the loss of the boats.

Western Union to

Statements from both sides but little

"The union is keeping saith with the

"and for that reason called off the
strike. On the other han /, President

Ledebour's Demand
For Revolt Fails to
Rouse Pan-Germans
By George F. Steward
Especial Cable to The Trtbu,te)

Copyright. 1918. by The Tribune Association
AMSTERDAM, July S.The whole
German press is busy discussing the
truth of the offensive and the attitude
OF the Social Democrats toward credit
question. The Social Democratic duet.
Scheldemann threatening darkly and
Ledebour calling frankly for revolution,
does not seem to greatly disturb the
pan-Germans or raise great hopes
among majority parties of relief from
military control
Scheldemann for SO long has been
the mere tool and the Social Democrats
farce rather than a force that
probably the upshot of the whole story
will be the strengthening Of Herr Won
kuehlmann's position. Kuehlmann by
his first speech has, at all events. pre-
vented the Frcisinnige party from vot-
ing against the credit, and thus has
split the contemplated union of this
party with the Social Democrats. By
his second speech he put the Social
Democrats into position, but this fact
mas HL tHe same tlme uulled the edge OF
the pan-German lightning. The pam
Germans evidently are prepared to ac-
cept the battle gauge of military versus
civil control, for as "Germania" coolly
declares, in long war leadership can
not always have regard to civil govern
ment.
"Vorwarts," on the other hand, has
made the aemblance of Il return to its
earlier independence. but it is at least
singular that the Wolff Bureau should
take the trouble to cable the fact to the
outside world by quoting the following
from a "Vorwarts" leading article:
THE desire Of the German nation for
speedy conclusion Of the war is so
strong that a sensible advance from the
enemy would bring them to their object
to-day. There remains the opportunity
Of obtaining good peace which is not
dictated by the war map. The policy
of a truth offensive demands the ad-
mission that the economic forces of the
German nation are not inexhaustible
and its isolation from transatlantic raw
material markets is icing felt more
continually"

Near Breach Again;

Predicted Recall Of Papal
Delegate at Vienna In

tBv United Press

LONDON, July s.-Recal of the
Papal Nuncio to Vienna, which was
demanded six months ago in connec-

Charles. will be carried out, according
to reliable information from Rome to-
day.
At the time the recall was first
asked Pope Benedict refused to nc
Quiesce, believing the Nuncio was
justified in siding with Empress Zita.
The Nuncio had communicated the
Vatican's advice. which the Empress
had asked when separation was threat
ened.
The Pore's efforts at reconciliation
of the royal couple were partially sue
cessful, but recent sensational revela-
tions are likely to lead to complica-
tions. 1t is reported that Empire IS
Zita is determined upon public vindica-
tiOn.
There have been rumors at court and
reports among the people that the En-
peror Charles and the Empress Zita di
vulged the empires battle plans for
the Piave advance to the Italians. An
other report causing an uncertain tenn
per among the people is that the En-
peror and Empress are preparing to flee
from Austria.
A group of Austrian Deputies took
notice Of these reports, and last Thurs
day called on DR.. Won Seydler, the
Premier, for a statement The Premier
answered that the tales in circulation
were "base and absolutely senseless," ,"
