Charges involving The loyalty Of an
American minister and several consular
officials accredited to Central American
republic were referred to the state De
partment today through the Senate For

The charges if true. so connect the
American diplomats with German in

German propaganda. operating chiefly
through a business house Of tremendous
influence and power, may also cause a
Central American eruption which will
oust German influence for good,
Accusations against the American
diplomats may, of course. be wholly un-
founded. They were made to members
of the Foreign Relations Committee from
four Independent and wholly trustworthy
sources, one of which was the secret

partmCnt, another branch of the mill
tary service and the others quite as re-
sponsible.

U.BOAT PIRATE CHIEF
 EXPLAINS SUBS OBJECTIVE

Amsterdam.-The chief of the German admiralty staff, Admiral von Holtzendorff, has explained to the Cologne Gazette to the best of his ability the reason why German U-boats are lot sinking American transports.
 He says that owing to the many points Of debarkation that are at the disposal of the Americans, from the north of Scotland to the Medi- terranean, the irregularity of the coming o' the transports and the strong destroyrr guards which ac- company them, if is inexpedient for the U-hoats to turk off all these harbors on the chance of getting shot at them. The real object of the U-ccats, adds the admiral, is to reduce enemy cargo space, for on this depends the ability of the allies to continue the war.
