Claims His Country Did Nothing to be

BERLIN, Nov. 27.-Germany feels
as no more criminal than the allies
I'D she is not seeking forgiveness
om herself or others, according to
i. Bernard Dernburg.
In remarkable open letter to For
Ign Minister Puerrydon, Of Argen.
ha, who is attending the league OF
ktions meeting in Geneva, Dernburg
Rted today that he could not con-
kmn the sinking Of the Lusitania
lthout disloyalty to his country.
Dernberg declared Germany is

eans used by Germany during this

I'D, worse nor more criminal than
pse used by our adversaries." and
serted that 1--WE neither seek excuse
br ask forgiveness from others or
brselves."
In explaining why he addressed the
tier to Puerrydon, Dernburg said:
"You, were the first to stress SO
hcerely and energetically the neces-
ty for the league comprising all the
Feat powers. You were also the only
he to find encouraging words in rec
Bnition of Germany's loyalty in car
Ting out the treaty. This Is the
kason venture to address you"
Dernburg said the German people

bmic and financial stipulations OF

hey were branded with the stigma
/ moral unworthiness, destroying at

,rote. 'The majority Of those at the
difference do, however, believe in
he possibility of its perfection"
Dernburg pointed out former
'remier Clemenceau's accusations
gainst Germany made under the
reaty.
Not on account Of the economic
urdens, but on account of the often
i've, one-sided statements, which
ave not been approved in an impair
IaI forum, are they unbearable for

MEETING TO BE HELD IN
DENVER JANUARY 8TH

DENVER, January 1, 192o.-Chair-
man Rush Holland of the Republican
State Central Committee has issued
a call for a meeting Of the County
chairman and women at Denver. Jan.
3. to set date and place for the
holding Of the convention to name
delegates to the national convention
at which candidates and president and
vice-president will be named.
The gathering will be more than
a mere committee meeting, however
It will be Republican gathering of
moment. Chairman Will Hays of the
National Committee will attend and at
a BANQUET to be arranged, will talk
to the Republicans Of Colorado setting
forth principles which probably will
he a mart of the next national plat
form. II is expected the gathering
will be one of the largest Of its kind
held in Denver for years.
Chairman Holland has made the
ruling that no proxy will be recog.
nized unless held by n person resident
Of the county of the person giving the
proxy. This ruling is going to be
popular since it will prevent men in
the city sitting in the meeting to
represent outside counties. and will,
unquestionably, result in. far more
representative meeting Than usual.
A general invitation is issued to
every Republican in the state to at
tend the banquet and hear Chairman
Hays. Special effort will be made to
secure tickets from those outside Of
Denver.
