GERMANS DOUBTED
SECRECY OF CODE
Suspected U. S. of Revealing
Facts to Entente, Zim-
hermann Says.
By the Associated Press.

Oy LIE ASsocldteO fre6S.
BERLIN. Thursday, November g.
DR.. Alfred Zimm ermann, secretary for
foreign affairs during the war, caused
a mild sensation during today's SEES
sion of the national assembly COM
mittee investigating the war when he
admitted that the German authorities
had been suspicious that their code
which had been made known to the
American authorities. was betrayed
to the entente by the United States
government. (The reference Is to the
special code which the American
government permitted to be used in
wireless communication with the
Washington embassy, copy of which
was furnished to the State Depart
ment.)
Count Bernstorff, when asked re-
garding these suspicious, said at first
that he could not swear that these
wireless messages had not been COM
municated by the United States gov
eminent to the entente, but later de-
clared under oath that he had never
known of such treachery.
He declared Germany had a difficult
and dangerous cable route through neu-
trail countries, but that messages had
been concealed as commercial dis
patches.
Why U-Boats Failed.
The submarine warfare came into
the investigation again today.
Vice Admiral Eduard Won Capelle,
one of the advocates of the subma-
rtne campaign. said the U-boats had
not been able to get at American
transports because each submarine
covered a limited circle around Eng
land, and the whole ocean could not
be patrolled. Various British and
American Inventions, like the listen
ing boat" Admiral Won Capelle de-
clared. were other things which pre-
vented attacks on transports.
Admiral Won Capelle did not mention
mines or depth charges during his re-
cital. He would not admit that the
admiralty underestimated the United
States as a factor in the war. but de-
clared it was known, from England's
that the United States could not raise
many troops in six months, and it
was thought by the time they were
trained the war would be over
DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg. chancei-
lor during the greater part OF the war
declared he was of the impression, in
June and July U91T that the subma-
rines were so destructive that Eng
land was weakening. He said LLOYD
Georges speech, when he asked Tor
ships, ships" was probably not rec
ognized as a peace opportunity, ana,
he asserted. the same could be said OF
the speech of Mr.. Lloyd-George at
Glasgow, demanding silver and bull

Barnstorf on Propaganda,

(by the Associated freSsl.-Souhe
Bernstorff was on the stand Tor pro-
fectiveness of German propaganda IN
the United States during the war at
today's session of the committee or
the national assembly investigating
the subject Of responsibility Tor the
war, Count Bernstorn was asked at
the opening of the session what ne
had done to offset British propaganda
and explained the utter impossibility
of convincing the German propaganda
authorities that they must send cine
matograph films to counterfeit the ef-
feet of the English efforts.
The American press. said Bernstorn'
was strongly anti-German from the De-
ginning of the war and then newspapers
published in the German language had
only an ineffective appeal to the Ameri-
cans. laugh was raised when Deputy
wer1nuth, the former mayor OF Berin'
asked about the activities Of the Eng
| lish journalist" George Creel.
When pressed for a direct answer re.
earding the comparative merits OF
British and German propaganda. Count
Bernstorff evaded a reply as to the
intrinsic merits by saying that the Brit
| ish PROPAGANDA in the United States
was superior to the German because
| "of the technical difficulties" OF trans
mission. The former ambassador de-
| the propaganda activities because OF his
official position and his desire not to
| be compromised by 1t.
He said that former Colonial Minister
Dernburg, on his trip to the United
States, had written successful articles
and delivered lectures until the amer.
can government became convinced that
the German agent was stirring up Ger
man-Americans against the United
States.

Tap More Trees.
Rutland Herald

(. The Barre Times brings up an ever-vi-
tai subject when it has this TO say about
tapping Vermont naples:
Only about one-half of the maple trees
in Vermont are being tapped for the
purpose OF making maple sugar; and Yer
mont people are, therefore. not more than
half meeting their opportunities. Ii Yer
mont should go into concerted effort
at maple sugar production and then some
state agency should begin an intelligent
and effective campaign for publicity for
this fine Vermont product there would
be little difficulty in disposing of all that
the 100000 of maple trees in the state
could produce. No complaints would be
likely to be heard about the inability to
market the product providing, of course,
the product was anywhere near being the
standard.
1t is an old subject and one with many
ramiheations. Some Vermont maple or.
chards would never pay to operate, no
matter what pains and industry were ex,
pended in their cultivation and develop,
ment, some would nay only when maple
sugar sold at a high figure and some lack
the necessary equipment, s.
The fact is, however, that all of them
will produce maple sugar, and, asiice tast-
ed and the. taste acquired, Vermont maple
sugar establishes lifelong customer
from Maine to California and from the
Canada line to Florida.
Every maple orchardist must be the
best Judge of his own business. and, now
that the war is over, the chances are
that the pressure of necessity for the
manufacture of sweets will be somewhat
abated, but the business urge for tapping
more trees and making more maple sugar
persists and should prevail.
Vermont maple trees and Vermont ma.
pie sugar constitute a state asset that
should not be neglected. and prime,
essential duty of the Vermont farmer
is to consider ways and means for putting
his sugar orchard on a basis for produc.
ing, not the output OF 5,G00.000 or G, 900 ,00G
trees, but to bring the states production
up TO the maximum of 100000 or as
near thereto as good business will permit
The suggestion of the Times in regard
TO grading and publicity has been put
iaore or less into effect already, through
the efforts OF the Vermont Maple Sugar
makers association, so that a Vermont
label already means something, but, il
he production of sugar was brought W
to the mark, something like what has
been done for western, citrus fruits ant
apples might be done for Vermont maple
sugar. When that time comes. there vii
he such 4 demand for the RELIGIOUS confec
ton that every one ,of> the. 100000 trees
will not only produce, but their produer
viii be so developed. exploited and calIet
for that the man who cut down a. pro
ducng maple would be ON the same plan,
| with the man who shot dairy COW.
BY all means tap more trees, max,
| more sngar.sthen advertise e

SLANG OF THE SOLDIER.
English Like American Slang and Are
