DAILY EDITION hlXTY-Sl-.VIvVI H Yi; K NO. 25i HUN REPLY TO ENGLISH SARCASTIC Statement by Sir Eric Geddes That Sinkings Are Declin ing Brings Forth Sneering German Criticism MUTINIES ON U-BOATS ARE INDIRECTLY DENIED All of English Statements Re- futed but Reasons Are Omitted AMSTERDAM, February 12. The full text of the reply circdlattd by the German Wolff bureau 'to The Associated Press interview -with S.t Eric Geddes .February 1 on the sub marine war is as follows: "The f irft lord of the Engliuh cd miralty, Sir Eric Geddes. seized the opportunity on the anniversary of the unrestricted submarine campaign, to ! discuss again the usual style the ic- mi 1 t r t U'Arinn a Vinh la nrnif. i ing so disastrous to England. "His assertion to hi American in terviewer" that 'the sinkings of mer chant ships have now been, reduced to a level lower than bcfore Germany cast aside all restrictions!' is realJy rather amusing. Following closely on this portion of his speech, we fort unately fird the key to his belief in the confession that he, Geddes, is 'an optimist,' so far as the submarine warfare is cencerned. As in all tho utterances of English public men, however,' this optimism is followed by an important 'but.' Geddes pro ceeds to say that 'ships and yet more ship' is still the most important corol lary of the war. Quite right. Sinkings Herd largest. "Later on he says, 'destruction of allied shipping decreases steadily; construction of merchant shipping in creases steadily.' Although we energetically repudiate the first part of the assertion, so far as the pro portions of sinkings to the decreas ing tonnage comes into the question, ire must here add tho 'but' which Geddes prudently omits. 'But, the sinkings are stil far in excess of the number of ships being built, and that is the main point. "During the course of the inter view we hear of "a fresh example of the cunning of the German official statements of submarine results in the 'factor of exaggeraticn.' Geddeb maintains that the official figures are exaggerated, and that the Ger man admiralty always addb a few thousands tons tb keep up tht level. They evidently do not yet know in England that the absolutely correct ness of the statements contained in a report is a point of honor with a German ofHcer, and equally so with the admiralty staff. Every German 'Will readily understand that from the way in which the English reports are presented. We are obliged to ex plain this, because the first lord of the English admiralty has made the Impudent assertion that the Germain admiralty falsified Its reports. Exaggeration Charge Evaded. "Towards the end of the Geddes Interview it issomewhat difficult to follow his meaning. He considers this 'curve of exaggeration' which he has discovered, as a 'fairly accurate reflection of the German official mmd.'. That, of course, is a matter of personal opinion, but he p.oceeds to state thi t it Is an .official coa ' fession that the submarine campaign is regarded us a failure by its own leaders. Th. Impertinent Invention of the first lord is theilore a con fession of th German o'focial au thorities. We are not able to follow him Into thesfc regions 'o.' higher logic. "When Sir Er'c furthej maintains that, the German assertion that de creased sinkings are due to tfe de crease in th. number of ships sail ing is Incorrvct, as is proved by the English statis'.ics of ships leaving ad arriving, we think it would be well to reply by giving an Illustration of the tbsolutely erroneous impression pur posely given by the English method of drawing up shipping at statistics. The captain of l neutral n'-rchant steamer, received y an English cus toms officer, whose tongue hs.d been loosened by grog, in answer to i;H Question as to the reason lor his being BCnt Dy English official fro: one port to another, and afnter a hort time always sent on again, was fctven the reply that this waj done in order that the numler of incom ing and outgoing ships rnight be In creased for the statistics. Mutinies Are Denied. 'The policy of secrecy concerning the sinkings of German submarines ' by English forces. Sir Eric asserts, H Pursued because it has a deleterious effect on the nerves of the German submarine commanders. We reply ( to this that our submarine command v na?e BUCn strong nerves that tney, have. been able to endure the es told about them by the Englah without turning a hair. Uomr much aiore easily will they be able to en onre thia English secrecy, the real - reasons for which we can so well understand. Another statemert LAFOLLETTEIS DENOUNCED BY ASSEMBLY VOTE Wisconsin Legislature Con demns Senator as Disloyal to America WEEK'S DEADLOCK ENDS State's Name Brought Into III Repute Is Charge of As semblyman MADISON, Wis., March 6 The legislature of Wisconsin condemned Senator Robert M. La Follette toda" as disloyal to, the national govern ment when the assembly by a vote of 53 to 32 concurred in the senate amended resolution. The assembly had been deadlocked for a week over the proposition and pasrage of the disloyalty resolution occurred at 11 o'clock this morning after an all night session. The principal speeches today were by Assemblyman Donnelly, Demo crt of Milwaukee, and Assemblyman Eyjue. "The state of Wisconsin is on trial before the bar of public opinion,'' said Mr. Donnelly, "the people of this state and the people of the nation expect the legislature to condemn and reubuke those in high and rep resentative places, who have sought to obstruct our government i In the successful prosecution of the war. "Senator Robert M. LaKollette has by his actions and his conduct brought the fair name of the state of Wisconsin into ill repute. The people of this nation will not be sat isfied with any mere lip service loy alty. The expect us and demand f us to rise to the occasion and publicly condemn those who hamper us in our fight for democracy. This much we must do; we-can do no. less." Mr. Evjue's remarks were exten sive. The following Is a synopsis of them written by himself: "Assemblyman Evjue charged thi? money 'had been used in the city of Madison to further the anti-La Ful let propaganda. lie stated tbat a leader in the anti-La Follctte prop agandad who had been in financial straits had been advanced enough to take care of obligations of $20,00 by people who were interested in seeing the propaganda continued. "Mr. Evjue gave facts concerning doings In the city of Madison with reference to La Follette and con tended that the campaign against the senator had been manufactured !.y the profiteers and newspapers. IK said that what was true of Madison was true of Wisconsin and was true of the United States. t'JMr. Evjue also denounced Roose velt and said that La Follette had never said things half a objection able as had been uttered by the colonel."

Train An automobile .driven by Rev. Jacob Stocker. pastor of the Che meketa Street Evangelical church, and in which were members of Mr. Stocker's family, was run down by the Shasta Limited at the Twelfth and CoiiTt street crossing about 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. None of the occupants of the auto mobile was injured. One wheel was torn from the automobile. That the accident did not turn out more seriously is doubtless, due to the fact that the train was travel ing only about six miles an hour.

March 0 While a large number of men will be called out during the present year to fill up the army; and complete its organiza tion, it was learned tonight that war department plans do not call for the creation of any additional divisions in 1918. The announcement con cerning the second draft expected .soon from Provost Marshal General Crowder may outline the manner in which less than 1.000,000 men . probably not much In excess of XOrt, 000 are to be summoned gradually during the year to complete the ex isting organizations. Delay in the announcement as to the next draft is understood to lie due to uncer tainty ns to- which method of allot ting quotas to the states is to be followed. The senate already has passed, and the house military com mittee has favorably reported an amendment to the law to base the quota on the number of men in class one instead of upon the total regis tration of a state. This change is regarded as certain to be made, but to avoid further delaw schedules of allottment unds both systems have leen: prepared at, Provost Marshal General Crowder's office, ready to go out as soon as final action ia taken. Vext Draft May 1 W In June. As to the date of the secand draft, members of congress from agricul tural section have been 'practically essured that no withdrawal of men Irom civil life was contemplated which would embarrass harvesting. It has been- indicated, however, that a relatively small number of men must be called to the colors prior to June 1 and that process mav start In April, when equipment, clothing and quarters will be available. The men are needed to fill up to full strength divisions slated for early departure to Europe and also for field army and corps troops not at tached to divisions. The replace ment also ranst go forward at an accelerating rate sirree 'American itroops are now actually holding a sector of the French front and men are being killed or wounded in ac tion every day. The completion of the full pro gram of the war department without creating any additional divisions probably will absorb in the neigh borhood of 600,000 men. The ex tent 'to which it has been necessary to increase artillery quotas through out the army and to add special unit3 of all sorts has surprised every of- ficer and accounts for the existing phortages to a large extent. 800.000 Needed in lOIS. The number of replacement troops necessary is worked out in a scien tific way. based on experience at the front. A fixed percentage for each arm of the service Is established. Among the non-combatant forces this is very small, but it is quite high among front line troop. While often figures are not available, it is estmated that something more than 200,000 will be necessary for the 1918 program, making $00,000 nec essary to call out during this year. The last increments of the first draft now In process of mobiliza tion totalling about SO. 000 men ar? being used to fill regular and na tional guard divisions shown . by their efficiency to be available for early duty abroad. Some of th men are being used also to fill up the special forces although an addi tional source of supply for highly fpecialized technical units is being used continuously. This is by spe cial drafts of particularly qualified men of the trades necessary. Or ders were Issued today to local boards calling for ."2S artisans of various sorts for non-combatant units. , . Even with all of the first draft rren mobilized there are consider able deficiencies amor.g the nationnl rmv and some of the national guard, divisions.

Goldsoll, retired French soldier, la In jail here tonight awaiting extra dition proceedings, which will be gin March 20. Goldsoll U accused by the French embassy of having appropriated to his own nse huge commissions on war (contracts which he was sent to the United States ti execute for h's government. The prisoner declined to comment on the case, but his counsey talked freely, asserting that his arrest was due to political antagonism. The Trench ministry, they said, looked with disfavor on Goldsoll's close affiliations with Albert Thomas, for mer minister of munitions, and that Thomas was the real objective of the prosecution. Goldsoll is about 45 years old, was born of Russian Jewish parent age In Cleveland, Ohio, but went to France about twenty years ago and was naturalized there in 1911; When war was declared in 1914 he enlist ed and served for a year as chauf feur for a staff officer before being retirl for physical disability. -He cam to America In 1916 to place war orders. His counsel admits that he made large profits on the deliv eries, but claims this was permitted and denies any criminal culpability. Neither the embassy nor Goldsoli attorneys would divulge details of the transactions. Since there can be no extradition for an offense committed in this country, Goldsoll was arrested at his hotel here ana warrant technic ally charging specifically the larceny of $200 in France. Counsel for Goldsoll declared that extradition proceedings will be re sisted vigorously. t Goldsoll is reputed to beguile wealthy, having been a hfuvj In vestor in amusement enterprises in France, England and Germany for the past twenty years.

Recker. a deputy state attorney general. Action was taken. Mr. Recker said, at the re quest of Ambassador Jusserand, who arked the attorney general's office two months ago to Investigate Gold soil's affairs. While Goldsoll is not an officer, of the Alliance Motors corporation he had admitted that he is one of the principal owners, according to Mr. Recker. "It has been found." said Mr. Pecker, "that Goldsoll has been in receipt of commissions ranging from seven and a half to 30 per cent from five different automobile and motor truck companies. The laws of France forbid the collection of such commissions by governmental offr cers. It Is believed this will be th basis of charges Goldsoll ' will be compelled to face, should he be re turned to France." Mr. Recker said that Goldsoll had Feme time ago bought $3,000,000 of liberty bonds and that for the folowing twenty days he sold $100. 000 a day, his sales aggregating $2. 000,000. This liquidation, accord ing to Mr. Becker, caused a material recession in the price of the bonds. WAS CLASSMATE COUNTY OFFICIAL in the county jail.
