OFFICIAL GERMANY
DECLARED FRENDLY
Hen Von Jagow Says Policy of
'i Self-interest Dictates Peace
With Americans.
MASSES ARE RESENTFUL
Reports of Teutonic Intention to Ob
tain Footing on American Soil,
to Exact Compensation or
Aid Japan Laughed At.
iiERLIN", via Indon. April 8. Herr
on Jagow, Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, greeted with laughter statements
attributed to the Canadian press and
members of the Canadian Parliament
that Germany planned accessions on the
American Continent after the war. The
Associated Press correspondent referred
to these rumors at the opening- of an
interview.
"How can people invent or believe
such stories?" asked the Foreign Min
ister. "To anyone not entirely blinded
by passion it is evident beyond doubt
that Germany never pursued such sense
less aims and never contemplated doing
so. Can one imagine a state of affairs
in Europe after the war such that
we should have the leisure or a free
enough hand to divert our strength
and efforts to such a task on the
American Continent?
"Equally ridiculous, though unfortu
nately this phase has a serious side, are
rumors which I understand here and
there are current in the United States
that Germany, after the war, will take
revenge on the United States by pur
suing an anti-American policy. It is
' even reported to me that some appre
hensive souls in America foresee from
victorious Germany an attempt to break
down the Monroe Doctrine, plant its
flag in South or Central America, or
even a design to leap upon the United
States and crush them in order to at
tain mastery of both continents.
Reports Declared Absurd.
"I need hardly assure you such re
ports, which from time to time have
been set afloat by enemies of Ger
many in the evident intention of stir
ring up feeling against it, are too ab
surd for denial. I need only recall that
Germany has never placed itself in op
position to the American principle of
the Monroe Doctrine.
"Again, I would ask American doubt
ers to remember the attitude of Ger
many during the Mexican crisis. Al
though extensive German commercial
pendent action to protect those inter
ests during the protracted era. of dis
order, the imperial government at all
nines biooa lur leaving nic uiuieu
States a free hand in its policy toward
Mexico. The Washington Government
was not at any time left in doubt ,aa
to the attitude of Germany.
"It is unfortunately true that during
the war, when the thoughts of every
' German are bound up heart and soul
in the struggle for German existence
against a world-wide coalition and
when the attitude of the Washington
Government at times has been almost
forced, even we think that there
might be some basis for stories of an
understanding of some sort between
Washington and the allies.
German Masses Resentful.
"A strong feeling of resentment and
' bitterness against the United States
has sprung up among the masses in
Germany.
"Unfortunately, too, there are foolish
persons among us who talk darkly and
foolishly of 'taking revenge' upon the
United States after the war for that
attitude, but no responsible official
takes or can take such a view. We
shall have quite enough to do at home
to safeguard our own position in
Europe, heal the wounds of the war,
restore our industry and business life
at home, and regain and build up our
foreign trade, without reversing our
traditional policy in regard to the
American continent and taking on a
new and powerful enemy across the
Atlantic"
"But what or the recent letter in
the Frankfurter Zeitung, attributed to
a naval officer, proposing even to exact
from the United States after the war
an indemnity to cover Germany's finan
cial sacrifices; what of frequent intima
tions of the possibility of backing up
Japan by an alliance in a coming war
against the United States?" asked the
correspondent. "These stories and
others 'like them that have reached the
"United States are brought back by
every returning American. Can Your
Excellency wonder that they find cre
dence from many Americans who are
not accustomed to thinking in terms
of world politics and are not familiar
with the limitations of the policy of a
elate in International affairs?"
Permanent Interests Cited.
C. "Do enthusiasts and jingoes in your
"country never talk foolishly," countered
Herr von Jagow. "The policy of a
state cannot be dictated by sentiment,
cannot afford to allow itself to be
guided or swayed in its permanent
form by temporary feelings of bitter
.B? or resentment, but only by issues
in which its interests are really and
, materially involved. The permanent
interests are really and materially in
. volved. The permanent interests of
-Germany nowhere, east or west, run
counter to those of the United States.
. On the contrary, they everywhere re
quire the United States and Germany
to be friends. For this reason reports
attributing to the German Government
,ai intention of pursuing an anti
A'.ierican policy after the war are
absurd.
"Our emperor long ago saw this
necessity for a policy of friendship and
co-operation between Germany and the
United States and during his reign has
worked actively and consistently to
improve the relations of the wo gov
ernments and the mutual understand
ing between the two nations. No Ger
man statesman, conscious of the real
interests, of his country, could take
anv other course."
The foregoing conversation occurred
and the manuscript was submitted for
censorship before the delivery by Chan
cellor von Bethmann-Hollweg of ' his
speech before the Reichstag with, its
references to Canada.

ter attack attempted early this morn

"West of the Meuse the Germans last
night renewed their attack against our
positions south and east of Haucourt
At this latter point, in spite of repeated
efforts, the enemy found it impossible

heavy losses.

ceeded in winning a footing in two
small works between Haucourt and hill
No. 287, which we had occupied.

LONDON, April 8. (Special.) The
tariff reform press is disturbed by the
highly successful luncheon given at
Claridge's yesterday to the Manchester
free-traders. The presence of Lord
Beauchamp and Lord Bryce marked the
quality of the occasion, and many im
portant business men testified to the
need for an untrammeled trade with
Germany and Austria, as well as with
all neutrals, after the war.
The note was struck that England
cannot afford an economic war after
the fight is over. Let's have real peace
when peace comes, was the sentiment
expressed. We will need all the trade
we can get. The wonderful resilience

'"In Champagne, in the region of
Navarin, we replied by a curtain of
fire to a violent bombardment which
presaged an attack. The enemy did not
leave his trenches.
"In the Argonne we directed a con

in the Cheppy Wood and in the region

"In the region of Verdun there was

April 8. At Turkish army headquar
ters today the following statement was
issued :
"Mesopotamtan front There were no
events of importance.
"Caucasian fronts Unimportant en
counters occurred among reconnoiter

BERLIN, April 8. (By wreless to
Sayville, N. Y.) Further successes for
the Austrians along the Austro-Italian
front are announced in today's official
statement from Vienna. The statement
says:
"In the Doberdo sector, the Italians
were driven from some of their ad
vanced saps.
"South of Mrzlirrh, the Austro-Hun-garians
captured an Italian position
and took 43 prisoners and one machine
gun.
"Austro-Hungarian squadrons of land

order to drop bombs have not re

PETROGRAD, via London. April 8.
The official statement issued today
follows:
"Western (Russian) front: Artillery
and rifle fire duels occurred today on
the Dvina front. Our artillery opened
a concentrated fire on the sectors near
llloukst in the Dvinsk region. In the
same district we exploded four mines,
which destroyed a German blockhouse
and trenches.
"Enemy artillery displayed great ac
tivity in the regions facing Postavy and
Lakes Miadziol and Narocz, sometimes
using shells containing poisonous mat
ter. The Austrians attempted an of
fensive with considerable force on the
middle Stripa, east of Podgacie in Ga
licia. but retired hurriedly befor our
positions, under threat of counter-attack.
"Caucasus front: In the coastal re
gions during Wednesday night, the
Turks attempted to cross to the right
anticipated revenue of 500.000,000
from Cancellor McKenna's budget
struck the protectionists dumb.
P'inancial interests take it remark
ably well, preferring more income tax
to more death duties, welcoming it
with triumphant satisfaction. The big
provision for a sinking fund might
clear off the war debt in half a cen
tury if future Chancellors of the Ex
chequer practice Spartan virtues.
One pleasant surprise in the budget
was Chancellor McKenna's explanation
that we have large unsold assets in the
United States in the shape of American
securities already bought and paid for
by the British government.
Much tension prevails in Holland.
The mobilization was clearly intended
to test the efficiency and preparedness
of the army. A serious fall occurred
on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, but
later news was more reassuring.
The fall in Scandinavian exchanges
follows their gold policy, and the result
is a premium or export of goods to
Norway, Denmark and Sweden. ,

Denied to Holland After AH
' Commanders Report.
BERLIN April 8. The text of the
German government's communication
to the Dutch government, with regard to
the investigation Into the sinking of
the Dutch steamer Palembang, is as
follows, according to advices from The
Hague, given out by the Overseas
News Agency today:
"The reports of all men-of-war which
might come into the question (the
Palembang incident) have been re
ceived. At the time when the Palem
bang met with the accident no ship
belonging to the German navy was even
in the neighborhood of the place where
the vessel was sunk. It must, there
fore, be considered impossible that the
Palembang was hit unintentionally by
a torpedo fired against an enemy man-of-war."
A Rotterdam dispatch to the Copen
hagen Politiken on March 30 eaid that,
according to evidence gathered by the
Dutch Ministry of Marine, the Palem
bang was torpedoed while she was
lying alongside a British destroyer
which was engaged in picking up mines
and that the inference was drawn that
the Palembang was sunk by a subma
rine which intended to destroy the
British warship and not the Dutch mer
chantman. WOMAN KIDNAPS CHILD

LONDON, April 8. The British offi

"Last night and today there has been
some mining activity about the Hul

of Rochincourt. There was artillery
activity today on both sides about
Rochincourt,- Bellacourt. Souchez, Lo

Saturday's War Moves
PERSISTENT attempts by the Ger
mans to reduce the salients in the
French lines northwest of Verdun are
resulting in steady progress for the
operation. Attacks are being driven
home on both sides of the salient at
the northern angle of which lies the
village of Bethincourt, but more par
ticularly on .the western edge in the
vicinity of Haucourt.
Berlin reports the capture of two
strong points of support to the south
of Haucourt, which passed recently
into German hands, an entire French
position along a front of more than a
mile and a quarter coming into Teu
tonic possession. Paris has admitted
German advances here, but declares
that on the opposite side of the salient
the advantage in the recent fighting
has been with the French. The pres
ent German activity in the Verdun
region is confined almost entirely to
this operation, although the artillery in
other sectors around the fortress is be
ing intermittently employed.
On the eastern front there have been
no operations of major importance, so
far as the official reports show. The
Russians apparently are limiting their
activity at present, for the most part,
to the Lake Narocz region, south of
Dvinsk, and Berlin declares that such
attacks as have been made there were
along a narrow front and were easily
repulsed.
Violent fighting is taking place on
the Austro-Italian front, the Austrians
being on the aggressive in several sect
ors and reporting considerable suc
cesses, with the capture of numerous
prisoners.
Three Austrian aeroplanes which
were part of a squadron which raided
railway stations back of the hostile
lines failed to return to their base, and
apparently have fallen victims to the
Italians.
Several additional vessels have been
sunk in the course of the German sub
marine campaign, and Paris officially
announces the sinking of an Austrian
transport in the Adriatic by a French
submarine.

BERLIN, via London, April 8. The
German government is able to -announce
that no German submarine or
warship was responsible for the explo
sion which damaged the British steam
ship Sussex.
When Germany, on April 5, handed
Ambassador Gerard an interim note
replying to the inquiries of the United
States Government regarding the Sus
sex and the four other steamers, the
matter of responsibility was still in
doubt, and the investigation was still
proceeding. The German' Foreisrn Of
fice, appreciating the agitation in the
united states over these cases, trans
mitted an interim response declaring
the readiness of the government,
should the Sussex prove to have been
destroyed by a German torpedo, con
trary to the v understanding with the
United States, to make all reparation,
including the payment of compensation.
The Associated Press was authorita
tively informed today that the investi
gation has now been completed; that
all the craft which might possibly have
been involved in an attack on the Sus
sex have reported and that from the
reports of their commanders it is ab
solutely certain that the Sussex was
not destroyed by a German torpedo and
that Germany is in no wise responsible
for the disaster.
From the material at hand it will
also be possible to reply to the Ameri
can Inquiries regarding the steamer
Englishman, Manchester Engineer, Ea
gle Point and Berwindvale and estab
lish, according to the German conten
tion, that no blame attaches to Ger
many. SM00T HITS GARBAGE CAN
