.DRESEL UNAWARE
OF Being CHOSEN
Official Confirmation Lacking
That He Is Considered as
Envoy to Berlin.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BERLIN, September 5.-The German
foreign Office is without confirmation of
reports received here from London and
Paris that Ellis Loring Dresei is to be
appointed ambassador to Germany. The
report was printed in the Berlin news
papers and resulted in Mr. Dresel be-
ing overwhelmed with congratulations.
He said today that he was entirely in
the dark as to the State Department s
decision with regard to the Berlin post
or concerning his future disposition.
lister. is still scanning the German hori-
zon for an ambassador to the United
States who would be considered a true
representative Of new Germany. Men
of the amba ssadorial stamp whom the
government has had in view are out of
its reach, while others who have vol
unteered to fill the post at Washington
are said not to be finding official favor
or receiving announcement.
Expense Would Be Great.
The Washington assignment in
wolves number of perpleNing diff
culties for the cabinet of DIR. Wirth.
In addition to the question of thesam
bassador's personality. one of the
chief questions is the expense of the
Washington mission. The German
ambassador who would be content to
maintain modest establishment
would cost Germany minimum of
$4,000 a year, which today exceeds
100000 marks. This would not in
ciude the staff or other embassy ex-
penses. even allowing for rigid cur
tailments in many directions.
Up to the present no wealthy man
in Germany has volunteered for the
Washington portfolio. or. if he has,
has not proved himself sufficiently
''unincumbered" to warrant considera-
tion by the cabinet.
Hope for Charge d'Anafres.
A member of the reichstag foreign
relations committee. discussing the
situation with the Associated Press
today, expressed the hope that the
American government would simplify
the procedure for Germany by tenn
porarily appointing a charge daft
faires here conversant with the nu-
merous problems growing out of the
transitory economic and political sit
uation in the country. thereby enabling
Germany to dispatch an official of SIM
liar rank to Washington.

lican leader, and other Sim Feln
chiefs were consulted. after which the

The Dali Eireann does not propose
to use coercion against northeast
Ulster any more than it proposes to
submit 10 coercion itseh. Mr.

fense of the national minority at Bel
fast, who last week were wantonly
shot down by organized and directed
Orange gangs, which were permitted
to act for two days without inter-
ference from either local or British
authorities. Coercion will not be
applied by US to disobedient minor
ity. but it is not proposed !hat Inc Inc
minority should be permitted to use
firearms with impunity against our
people resident among them"

that Owen O'Dufy has started a tour
Of the south of Ireland. but that he
saws he will return to Belfast I'M
mediately should necessity arise Tor
his. presence there"
It Is suggested here that Mr..

count Of his speech in Armagh.
