.HA|MHAUSEN CHOSEN i"
TO Be AMBASSADOR
OF GERMANY TO us.
WAS AT WASHINGTON WITH
BERNSTORFF AND WON'T BE
ACCEPTABLE THERE

Berlin, Tuesday, Aug. 2G.-Dr. Han
lcl Won Haiamhausen, former counsellor
OF the German embassy at Washing
ton, has been selected for appointment
as German ambassador to the United
States according to authoritative in
formation today. Fritz August Thiel,
former German consular representative
in Japan has been selected for ambas-
sador at Toxic.
The appointments of ambassadors, 1t
is said. depend upon the attitude of the
powers in question. If they send
charge d'affaires to Berlin, Germany
Will take like action as to represen-
tation in the capitals Of such powers.
There is no mention at present of the
selection of German ambassador to
France.

Washington. Aug 27.-No inquiry
has been made of the United States as
to whether llanie Won Haimhausen
viii be acceptable as ambassador, but
there is every iadication that this
government will not receive Haimhau'
sen or anyone else formerly connected
with the embassy under the regime
of Count Won Bernstorff
Nearly every one connected with the
German embassy in Washington in a
responsible position in the days pre-
ccding Americas entrance into the
war is regarded by the government
as more or less involved in the intri-
cues and plots which stirred the coun'
try.
When 1t was proposed to send Count
Bernstorff to Paris at the head of the
German peace commission. the Ameri-
can delegation let it be known prompt
ly that while perhaps they had no legal
right to dictate the personnel of the
German commission, yet they would
have no communication with Bernstorff
and that his appointment certainly
would not aid the Germans in securing
the best peace terms.
Haimhausen's attachment 70 the
German peace commission IN the ca
pacity of secretary was scarcely less
welcome. but was tolerated by the Am
eriCan commissioners for the reasons
that his familiarity with the issues
might make him useful and that his
connection with the operations of the
German embassy here was less than
that of his principal.

SEATTLE SUPREMACY
(cOntinaed from page One)

Washington to ship their wheat. He
tried to show that it cost more to haul
wheat over the mountains to Seattle
than it did down the river to Portland.
Gilman, upon the completion of New.
ell s cross examination, testified there
was apparently a grave error in New
ell S testimony that it cost more to ship
from Portland TO Seattle than from
PendletOn to Portland. He gave an ear
ly history Of shipping in both Seattle
and Portland and attempted to show the
reasons for Seattle so far outstripping
Portland were due entirely TO the re-,
sourcefulness of the business men Of the
Sound. He attributed seattle's success
TO the Alaskan gold rush and the pres
ent war.
Gilman testified that the opinions of
Portland business men differed in the
demand that Portland be given an ad-
vantageOus rate over Seattle. lie said
that the shippers were not demanding a
cheaper rate, but would take one if Civ.
en- them.
Inference that Seattle owed a great
deal of her immense oriental trade to
the cold attitude of Portland towards
the Japanese trading firms, marked the
cross examination of L. c. Gilman, as
sistant regional director of the United
States railway administration by ]. N.
Teal, Portland rate expert.
Gilman attributed Seattle s growth Of
trade with Japan to two reasons, the
first because Seattle had looked to-
wards the sea for business, while Porn
land had looked towards the land, ana
secondly, because he considered the &C.
attic terminals superior to Portland's.
He also said that this trade had been
augmented by the foresight of the trans
continental railroads in building docks.
"Can you think of any other reason
why the oriental trade came 10 Seattle
rather than to Portlandi" questioned
Teal.
"No, l can T." answered Gilman.
"Didn't the attitude expressed by
Portland against the japanese have
something to do with the placing of the
business in Seattlcf" continued Teal.
''No, never heard Of that.n
Ex-Governor Oswald West, represent.
ing Portland's claim in the rate contro-
vcrsy, said that the Japanese angle was
a new phase to him.
81 never heard of it BEFORE" he said. |
"There may have been some talk
against the japanese in Portland, but il
WASH I general, and il never reached my
ears
Gilman said he did not think Port
land would do any more business than
at present, even though transcontinen-
tai line were constructed through the
Portland district. II believed the Spo-
kane, Seattle and st. Paul line was suf
ficient to handle all freight from the
eastern Washington field.
