a BERLIN IS DIVIDED ON REPLY TO NOTE Von Tirpitz Fights Hard to Save Submarine System That He Has Developed. U-14 RAISES NEW ISSUE Country Emotionally Stirred by Be lief That Fishermen Sank At tacker Alter Humane Warn- . ins Had Been Given. fBy a staff correspondent of the New Tork Time. Published by . arrangement with the Times.) BERLIN, via the Hague, June 18. A fascinating and perhaps heroic drama is transpiring behind the scenes as a result of the American note, those in high places holding widely diverg ing views on the stand that Germany ought to take according as they attach supreme importance to Germany's po litical or military interests. While powerful influences are work Jng for modus Vivendi, even at the cost of modification of the submarine warfare provided certain objects can be gained, it is known that Grand Ad miral von Tirpitz, who conceived and made possible the submarine warfare, eees in President Wilson's demand the ruin of his whole life work, and a sur render probably would be followed by one of the biggest sensations of the world war. Emotion Factor Injected. An important new emotional factor has been injected into the question by reports printed here that the de etruction of the submarine U-14 was directly due to the humane conduct f her commander. She was fired upon and sunk by an English "fishing tteamer" after -her commander had signaled to the fishermen that they had Jive minutes in which to leave their vessel. In this connection the Lokal Anzeiger prints a column communication from "A Highly Placed Personage," bitterly recalling that King George had given the Distinguished Service Order to the merchant captain of the steamer Thor dis for ramming and sinking a German submarine, while the Admiralty made him a Lieutenant in the .Naval Reserve, "thus rewarding, justifying and en couraging ramming -and other hostile acts by merchantmen." British Rights Held Forfeited. The communication adds: "There is not the slightest doubt that England, by this official act of the King, forfeited all further claims lupon our submarines to live up to the tisual rules of 'naval warfare in the - future. It would not be a practice of humanity, but of criminal weakness, Justly challenging the scorn of Eng land, to suggest to our brave subma rine sailors, who hourly risk their lives for the Fatherland, that in future they should first call upon and halt English merchantmen. From this view point the procedure against the Lusi tania, whether she was armed or not. was, in all circumstances, fully justi fied, and similar procedure on the part of our submarines toward every other British merchantman will be Justified as a necessary measure and self-defense against the tricky- attacks of Knglish merchantmen upon German men-of-war in violation of internation al law, and which are openly praised and rewarded by King George. "To Mr. Wilson's demand that in this case justice and humanity demanded the hailing and peaceable stopping of the Lusitania by the submarine. King George has already given his answer that such considerations of humanity and international law would have been answered by the sinking of our sub marine and the captain of the Lusitania would have been assured of the King's high reward." Army Bitter Toward I nitrd States. Another equally important emotional factor is the unanimous and bitter re sentment of the army over American ammunition. Some interesting light was thrown upon 'this in the course of a conversation yesterday with a divi sion chief of the Grand General Staff who had just returned from the front. He said: "After the Lusitania affair Americans perhaps are able to under stand how we feel. They have only to think of their own indignation over the loss of a hundred and odd Amer icans to consider how we at the front feel over more than 50,000 German sol diers being killed and twice as many maimed for life by American ammu nition. So fnr this is a conservative estimate. It is cruel hypocrisy to tell us we must not sink ships bringing ammunition to kill our soldiers be cause there happen to be Americans vii ooara. This general feeling in the army is CHANGE OF NAME COSTLY German Suspects Norwegian Vessel and Sinks Jler. CHRISTIAN! A. via London, June 24. That it is dangerous to change the name of a ship in wartime is the moral drawn by the Norwegian Shipping Ga rotte from the attack on the Davanger by a German submarine. The Davan tter formerly was the Ceylon and the latter name appeared on the ship's papers. The captain of the submarine stopped the Davanger and demanded the ves sel's name and nationality. He also asked for the ship's papers. When he observed the conflict in names he de clared the Davanger not only was sail ing under a false name but under a false flag. He gave the crew 15 minutes to go and then fired on the Fteamer. destined for Norway, Sweden, Denmark and The Netherlands in transit through belligerent countries have been opened and censored. Postmaster-General Burleson directed today that until further orders all mails for those countries be sent on vessels sailing direct and not touching at any port of belligerents. Direct lines, not touching any bel ligerent ports, are running to all the countries named, and the order will cause no serious delays to the malls. No action was taken in regard to mail en route to the United States, as the countries of origin control mail rout ing. Mr. Burleson has not completed his investigation of the reports that mails to and from this country have been opened by British censors. The inves tigation was requested by the State department after its attention had been called to the subject by the Min ister from Sweden. A protest is also said to have been lodged with the Foreign Office in Lon don, and press dispatches have stated that investigation has been ordered there also. T SHIPPED EAST FISH FROM PACIFIC COMPETE IJf SEW YORK MARKETS. Proximity of Banks to Cmrnut Atones for Distance Overland and Speed ier Delivery Is Possible. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 24. Halibut caught In Alaskan and British Columbia waters and landed and iced at Prince Rupert are being shipped by express and are competing in the New York and Boston markets with halibut caught off the New England Coast, according to Con-rul-General Mansfield at Vancouver, B. C. Notwithstanding the long distance the Pacific fish are shipped, he says they get to New York a week sooner than their Atlantic Coast competitors, because the halibut banks of the At lantic are far from the coast, whereas the northern halibut banks on the Pa cific are close to the Canadian ports. It is only recently that the British Columbia Government permitted the sale in British Columbia of fish taken in American vessels and the shipment of such fish in bond through Canada to the United States. This order of the Dominion Government has dimin ished the deliveries at Puget Sound ports and has brought forth a protest to the Trade Commission and Depart ment of Commerce. Those bodies, however, ' find them selves without authority to do any thing, and Prince Rupert being the most convenient port at which to land halibut taken in Alaskan waters, this Government cannot interfere so long as the Canadian Government is satisfied. FRENCH CABINET BLANED STORMY 8CESE FOLLOWS CHARGE AGAINST WAR MINISTER. Deputy Says Nation's Resources Are Disbursed Extravacantly and That Shells Are Defective. PARIS, June 24. M. Accambray, discussing the war appropriation in the Chamber of Deputies today, criticised the Minister of War. He declared de fects had been proved in shell making. Objections and protests came from various parts of toe Chamber and the president reminded him he should stick to the question under discussion. The stormiest parliamentary scene since the war began resulted. M. Ac cambray affirmed that the sanitary service of the army was responsible for the deaths of many soldiers. He regretted that the national resources were being extravagantly disbursed and deplored the lack of foresight in preparing for adequate supplies and munitions. The Minister of War, he declared, ought to possess technical training sufficient to fit him for gen eral direction of the army's supply services, but the subordinates felt that they were under a chief who was their inferior. Protests from the right and the center frequently interrupted M. Ac cambray, while the left, largely So cialist, applauded and feeling among members rose high. M. Accambray affirmed that he did not wish to criticise the leadership of the army, but solely the cabinet. ROAD NAMES OFFICIALS Son of Eccles Manager Appointed on Mount Hood Railway.

MAILS TO BE RE-ROUTED America to Use Steamers Going Dl reot to Xeutral Ports. WASHINGTON, June 24. Because of jtha report that United States mails PASSPORT LINES TIGHTEN France to Withhold Credentials From Americans of German Origin. WASHINGTON, June 24. Official no tice of France's decision to withhold passports hereafter from Americans of German origin reached the State De partment today. Officials refused to comment, but it was understood they were examining treaties to determine what course to take. According to press reports the French acted on the theory that naturalized Americana of German birth, if permit ted to enter France, might give mili tary information to German officials in the United States- NEW YORK. June 24. Officers and passengers of the Scandinavian-American stearthip line steamer Frederick VIII, from Scandinavian ports, said on arrival today that four passengers, two cabin and two steerage, were taken off by British authorities at Stornoway, where the steamer was diverted by the British patrol, because they were ap parently of German birth. Passengers on the Frederick VIII in cluded 16 American Red Cross nurses, who had been in Vienna and Budapest. Six nurses wore decorations given them by Archduke Francis Salvator, chief of the Austrian Red Cross. DELEGATES ARE CHOSEN Ben Selling, Sirs. Osburn, V. Davey Go to Prison Association Meeting.

Representative Humphrey returned yesterday from a trip as far north as Oroville, visiting all the towns en route and yesterday spent a consid erable portion of the day riding over the south half of the Colville reser vation. "I talked with dozens of people about the opening of the reservation." said he, "and personally I am satis fied that a great injustice has v been done the people of the north country by the Indian Department holding up the opening of this big body of land. It seems to me, in view of what I could find out, that the Department is pursuing a very mistaken policy in its dilatory practice. I pledge myself to the people of the north and also to the people of Wenachee to use my best efforts with the department for the Immediate opening of the reservation." to succeed Mayor Nicholas, who re I signed recently, together with the I poundmaster and entire police force. because of a dispute they had with the new City Council over the appoint ment of a new police force.
