his government a loyal attitude

Another German broadcast quoted
Hitler's newspaper, the Voelkischer

Sinking Of 6O7 Allied
Merchantmen in 1913
Ny the Asaoeiated rress.

~ the Ase0eiated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Germans
presented q summary OF 1913 naval
action today In which they claimed
without Allied confirmation, to have
sunk GOT Allied merchant ships, an
aircraft carrier, six cruisers, SO de-
Istroyers. IS submarines, three cor
vettes, Sc motor torpedo boats and
several midget submarines.
A German radio broadcast said
3,784,500 tons of Allied merchant
shipping had been sent to the bot
tom. The Nazis said U-boats sank
593 OF the merchant vessels.
An earlier Berlin radio. broadcast
said German escort vessels" had
sunk three ships of the American
North Atlantic Coast.
The broadcast added that 10 Brit
ish and American merchantmen, to-
falling $500 tons, were sunk during
December by the German Navy.
This claim was followed by the
German communique which said the
navy and air force, fighting British
American shipping" sank 80 mer-
chant ships totaling 225, 200 tons last
month.
The combined navy and air force
Berlin added, in December sank 10
destroyers, one motor torpedo boat
and two gunboats.
The German claims were at yari-
ance with recent announcements
from London and Washington
stressing that the submarine men

Nazis Hope 10 Extend
War Until U. 5. Votes,
Neural Sources Say
~ RICHARD nfOWRER,
War Correspondent Of The Star
CHICAGO Daily News

u -
CAIRO, Jan. 1.-Germany's politi.
cal and military leaders, with few
exceptions, are convinced that Ger
many must hold at any price until
after the American presidential,
elections in November, 1914, accord
ling to neutral sources recently ir
contact with Germany.
The Germans reasoning in this
respect Is said to be as follows:
The reelection of President Roose-
welt depends on the successful open
ing OF q second front and victory
for the Allies before the November
elections. II victory is not achieved
by autumn, Mr.. Roosevelt will not
be reelected.
American opinion, disguised by
Allied failure to beat Germany, BY
then will compel the withdrawal OF
the American war effort from Eu-
rope to concentrate it on the wal
in the Pacific and will elect to the
presidency some one who will con-
centrate entirely on winning the wal
against Japan.
Germany thereupon will approach
the new American Government and
make a deal which Britain, nc
longer supported by American arms
in Europe, will have to accept.
If the German Army puts up stiff
resistance on the second front and
inflicts severe casualties on the
Americans, the public outcry in the
United States will be such that
the presidential elections will be
strongly influenced.
Such, at least, appears to be the
line OF thought of German higher
ups, who, although knowing they
cannot win the war, hope to avoid
total defeat by making German re-
sistance drag on.

LANSING, Nov. 4-Gov. Kelly,
in a prepared statement, Satur-
day expressed regret that former
Gov Alex j. Grosebeck found it
necessary TO resign" from the
state civil service commission, but
the governor did not indicate
whether he would accept the
resignation.
However. members of the gov
ernor's staff said that the gov
ernor was awaiting further
reports" before deciding whether
TO accept the resignation.
Commenting upon Grosebeck s
resignation. which attacked the
commissions penurious and
penny-pinching attitude towards
its employees, Kelly said:
"Mr. Groesbeck's resignation
comes to me a. a complete sur
prise. I have considered the
civil service commission one of
the most qualified in the state
government.
BACKED COMMISSION
81 have never tried to direct
them In any activity. I have
supported them on every COM
mission request on salary mat
ters, and believe that the
commission agrees that have
co-Operated with them in all
activities"
Groesbeck's letter of resigna-
ton to Kelly follows:
81 have delayed taking this
action In the hope that the adj
ministration of this branch of
state work would improve and
become more In consonance with
the objects and purposes of the
amendment, which was in
tended to protect employees
from political interference and
guarantee to them an adequate
and living wage for their serv-
ices. In my Judgment. neither
the commission nor its director
has met these requirements.
INADEQUATE PAY
"For a considerable period
many of those In state service
have been inadequately paid and
their requests. for relief on one
pretext or another sidetracked.
The commissions pennrions
and penny-pinching attitude to-
wards its employees Is we'll
known and has never met with
my approval.
There Is no possible excuse
for this situation, especially In
view of the fact that the state
has been collecting large and I'm
