KA|SER'S Navy
ADMITS FEAR TO
MIX WITH ALLIES
Venture to Interfere With
Transports Called Suicide,


LONDON, Nay ii.--(Corespond-
enee Of The Associated Press)--"Sui-
eide" is the word ssed BY the German
naval authorities to describe what il
would mean for the kaiser's navy to
attempt to interfere with the transport
OF allied troops and munitions across
the English channel
According TO German, papers con-
siderable irritation has been caused in
Germany. by the rapidity with which
England has been throwing men into
France and criticism has been directed
at the admiralty. In a vigorous defense
Rear Admiral Karl Hollweg points out
that the activity of the German navy is
subject to certain geographical limita-
tions.
"A voluntary attempt TO remove these
limitations he argues, would signify
a heroic but useless suicide for the
German fleet The distance from Ger
man harbors is too great for the regular
and frequent attacks which alone could
cause continuous interruption OF chan
mel traffic. A small German fleet can
not remain long in the channel, for sub
marines and mines would reap a rich
harvest among it and, after being 'ut
off, IL would be compelled to accept
battle with overwhelming British forces
in untavorsble circumstance"

vast estates OF Prince Furstenburg,
close friend Of the German en-
peror, were plundered and buildings
on them burned.
Doctor Won Seydler. the Austrian
premier. II is added, has summoned
the Czech deputy Stsnek. to discuss
the situation. Deputy Stsnek has
declined and has warned the pre-
mier against a policy OF violence in
Bohemia, fearing evidently. that the
indiscriminate hangings and shoot
ings In Galicia at the beginning OF
the war are to be repeated in Bo-
hemia.
