II HI 1111 CABSyilPEAIIIl;IIEI( ..i:E!i HE DECLARES III All Britain Was Jealous of the and Was Determined to According to Minister of the Strongest Man in the (By Karl Von WIegand.) (Copyrighted 191 by the Lnlted Press. Copyrighted In Great Brit ain.) GRAND GENERAL HEADQUAR TERS OF THE KAISER IN FRANCE Dec. 2. (Via The Hague to New York, Dec. 22. (Delayed for advice by the general staff.) "The United States has raised no voice of protest. has taken little or no action against the closing of the North Sea by Great Britain to neutral shipping. What will the United States say If Germany declares a submarine war on all the enemy's merchant ships?" Grand Admiral Von Tlrpitx. the German minister of marine, regarded as the strongest man In the kaiser's government, possibly next to the Im perial chancellor, put this question to me at the first Interview he has ever granted an American correspondent. "Why not?" he continued. "Great Britain wants to starve us. We can play the same game. We can bottle England up by torpedoing every British or allied ship which rears the English harbor, thereby cutting off the island's large food supplies"! Von Tirplti analysed, according to his views, the causes which led to the war, tracing the growth of the sea and world power developed by Great Britain until, as he put It, "the domineering arrogance of the Brit ish culminated In the present conflict, which they engineered In order t crush the national growth, develop ment and power of the German em pire." "Great Britain's domination of the sea," he declared, "originally was founded on piracy, while Its power on land has been established by robbery In all parts of the world.

J THIS IS SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR; SUN SETS AT 4 ACCORDING TO THE RULE. OFFI CIAL WINTER HAS NOW BE GUN TO REIGN. Today is the shortest day of the year. It is the winter solstice, the day on which the sun reaches the most southern point of Its Journey. The sun today reaches latitude 23:27:0S.l south. Immediately It will begin to work farther north, arriving over the equator, dividing the days and ntshts Into equul lengths, June 22. So the official winter does not be gin operation until today. There is an old saying that "when the days be gin to lengthen the cold begins to rtrensthen." In Oregon the sun rose this morn ing ut 7.3S o'clock und it will set at 4:19. That means that Sol cut his day down to about elghi Hours. Anyhow. Christmas day will be about a minute longer. Each succeed ii"; day will add fractions of minutes to the daylight, und aloii ; in Febrn rv on.- will be able at 6 o'clock In tho mornlmr to steer n course with out the aid of hcaJlUhts. SAYS flUD T IE YELLOW Growth and Power of Germany Crush Teutonic Nation Out, Marine Who is Regarded as Kaiser's Government. alone Is responsible for this war. Did Germany want anything? Did Ger many make any demands upon any one? Did Germany have a quarrel with anyone? No. Germany only wanted to be let alone, to continue Its peaceful growth and development. England's anti-German policy date tack as far as 1S70 after our victory over France. Always dictatorial and domineering. England did not want Germany to expand commercially or take a place In the world to which Its power entitled It. England is Impart! il. It will cut !,the throat of anyone who gets In Its way. It has no white mans snrup pies. Its alliance with Japan shows that. It will form an alliance with anyone regardless of race or color If It can profit by It "Germany was developing too fast, was growing too strong and powerful, and was getting In England's way. So It's throat had to be cut. That Is it In a nutshell." "What are your excellency's views concerning the Japanese problem?" I Inquired. "That's a question you Americana will have to meet and face, with us as onlookers." replied the admiral. "I mean that In Jest that, we would b onlookers. That would depend on circumstances. "One thing I will say Germany would never abandon the white rac. Japan will make China Its vassal and militarise Its millions. Then It will be for your country to look out. Ad miral Togo once told a European that next would come a general European war, then a great war In which his race would be against ours." Great Britain's act In bringing Ja- pan Into the present conflict. Von I TIrplts holds to be high treatson to t the white race.
