LOT lhuncnlng TINS warfare over my
veto never became known to me.
Another time / was disregarded.
The U-boat war was begun over my
head and against my will. The world
historical. decision was reached, as
subsequently learned, on February 2,
at>a conference presided over by the
Chancellor and approved by the For
eign Office the Ministry Of the In
terror and apparently by the General
Staff"
Cabinet Order DisresardedA
Admiral Won Tirpitz says this deci-
sion was taken Notwithstanding a
Cabinet order Of July 80, 1914, that
decisions Of such character could not
be taken without his vote. He de-
clares that once the decision was made
Germany's prestige demanded firm
stand thereon.
The Admiral makes an interesting
revelation as to how, after the first
American note of February II terri
fed the fathers of the declaration.
they hurried to throttle the U-boat
war before It had taken It's first
breath" Won Tirpitz says that un-
fortunately his name became identi-
fed with the submarine warfare in
the popular mind through the VIE
gand interview.
In answer to Admiral von Tirpitz's
statement that the Foreign Office ap-
proved this interview it is proper for
me to state that did not submit the
interview to the Foreign Office, but
only to the naval censor, after which
1t was sent to Holland by courier for
the reason that 1t had been intimate
to me that any attempt to telegraph 1t
would be blocked by the Foreign Of
fee. Whether the naval censor sub
mitted the interview to the Foreign
Office I do not know.
Admiral con Tirpitz tells of Count
Won Bernstorff7s effort to have the
submarine declaration recalled by
pointing out that there was posi-
bility Of obtaining an embargo on
American munitions. He also tells Of
conflicting orders to the U-boat COM
manders, declaring it is conceivable
how confusing bitternesses resulted.
The Admiral defends mis- naval
building policy, expressing the belief
that had. Germany built faster, so
that her feet had approached Eng
lands in size, the latter country
would not have risked war.
Full Credit Given British Fleet.
Despite his feeling against England
respect and even admiration for Eng
land crops out repeatedly in the book.
and he gives the fullest credit to the
British fleet commanders. In letter
to Admiral Won Pohl, dated Septem-
Der 10, 1914, he said:
"Our best chance for a successful
naval battle was within two or three
weeks after the war started"
He added that Germany's chances
dwindled as the war progressed be-
cause Of the increase in the size of
the British fleet.

tells, on July 20, 1914, received a pro-
posal from Won Bethmann-Hollweg TO

GREAT BRITAIN NEEDS
10000 HOMES AT ONCE

In a recent report from London,
it was stated that although there is
an urgent need for at least SOC, 900
new houses in Great Britain, no
start has been made in building
them. The high cost of building
materials is considered to be the
chief deterrent to the revival of
the building trade.
The government stocks of timber
are now about 100000 standards
(2S.00O.000 board feet.) Some H.
900 standards have been bought
in the Baltic and White Sea regions.
and will be delivered very soon
Another 100000 standards of Euro
pean timber have been purchased
for delivery later in the year. A
further 25O.O0O standards of Canad-
ian timber have been bought and
a number of ships have been aIlo-
Gated for their shipment
Because of the high cost. the
private builder cannot without aid
build houses of a class formerly
rented for about 5000 a year that
could not proftably be let at less
than about $3.50. The greater part
of the work will therefore prob
ably be done with the assistance
of government housing authorities.

HOROSCOPE,

SyndicateO

Mercury and the Sun are in
strongly benefc aspect today. ac-
cording to astroIogy. Saturn and
Uranus are still menacing.
This is held to be a peculiarly
auspicious sway under which to
write letters, especially those ad-
dressed to parents. or persons of
influence from whom favors are de-
sired.
Since Mercury rules the memory
today is a time most helpful to stu
dents and those who depend on
brain work for their Iivings.
Visiting is subject to the best
possible direction Of the stars,
since the sway is believed to en-
courage understanding, sympathy
and friendliness
Teachers, students, lawyers and
editors should be especially sus-
ceptibIe to the friendly Influences
during this confEuration.
All affairs in which dignity and
responsibility are concerned are un-
der favorable directions today.
The evil ASPECT of Saturn and
Uranus is interpreted as giving
warning of serious religious troubles
which will be fomented by mis-
representation and prejudice.
The seers declare that they can
not emphasize too distinctly the
dangers they foresee from the ef-
fects of the evil stars that en-
courage gossip. slander and bad
reports. During the next few
months accusations and investiga-
tons regarding the acts of army
officers and public officials will
multiply. they predict.
From this month on there will
be an increase of class feeling and
resentment as an outgrowth of war
conditions. astrOloGers predict.
Riots and dangerous clashes are
foreshadOwed.
For year trouble over some
conditions relating to mining has
been prophcsied and it seems to be
near now. The winter may bring
serious problems.
Persons whose birthdate II is will
have busy year. Business success
is assured If care is taken to
guard against deception. Those
who are employed will benefit.
Children born on this day arc
likely to be clever and industrious,
bat inclined to make many changes.

URGES CAREFUL
HOME BUILDING
Expert Advises Careful
Study to Insure Health
And Comfort.

Every family ought to have a
home of its own, built in line with
modern ideas OF the comforts such
a home should contain" says Roger
W. Babson, Of the Department of
Labor.
The home builder should give care
ful thought toward these points, for
he is not engaging in a project of the
moment, but in a work that will last
longer than himself and probably be
the heritage OF his kin for genera
lions afterward Sunshine. pure air.
clean surroundings, plenty of room
and substantial material are standard
qualities in a home, no matter when
it is built.
The family which has in view the
building OF home should study
every detail. Books on modern home
plans should be read and the besy
methods OF giving the highest degree
OF comfort should be made a part OF
the new home. Such books can be
had at the Public Library, and while
a single volume may not contain all
the ideas desired. a collection Of ideas
may be gathered from many authors
and applied in the new home to be
built
Mistakes are easily made, but not
so easily corrected. So. then, when
building home the safest and wisest
course is to follow those who know
the science and are sure they know
it, and guard against mistakes.
Building a home costs money. OF
course, everything does. Still, cost
is not a great barrier when one has
the spirit to build and when one con-
siders that rent eats up a large part
OF the family income, with nothing to
show for it in the end Cost as a
personal excuse to ones conscience
loses force as a reality when one goes
into the matter with the will to do
it"

Although the habit of carrying the pen
