Having out I Assistant Secretary Tells Many Interesting Facts Gleaned Abroad. Washington, ct. 22. American naval stations, dotting the Frech coast from Bpain' to the channel have created a 'fifty mile "forbidden zone" for sub marines around France. The ('northern bombing squadron" operating along the Belgian coast con tributed largely to keeping Ostend and &ee!rugge U-boat bases bottled up. These institutions, plus a vast amount of new naval work, including the northern mine barrage locking the last testes of the U-boats, wero pointed out ly. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, as samples of- American nav el achievements abroad. Roosevelt, who had contracted influ enza en route on his way from Europe, was back at 'his desk for the first time in many weeks. He was very enrhusi stic over what he had seen. Hig pio ture of - United States efforts on sea and along the shores from Scotland to tap Adriatic formed a hitherto unre pealed account of what has been un dertaken abroad. Roosevelt taid that everywhere he vent there was praise for the United States naval forces. Admiral Beatty (told him that the American grand fleet assigned to one of the important posi . tions, is one of the most efficient sec tions of That ''magnificent organiza tion." He emphasized that United State forces are not confined merely to con voying across the ocean and in the for--, tgn danger zone, nor is it confined to chaser end destroyer patrol and battle eaip guard duty. Instead, it has amount d to th creating of numerous stations - and building of many new units, in cluding a big oil pipe' line across Seot- land., ; . , ... The northern mine barrage was par- tieularlv: pointed out. It is known the idea originated with Koosevelt more than a year a?. Many factories in is country, Ho mid, worked practically all winter on materials for this barrage. Bluejackets built most of tha. ta tions. They built houses from airplane packing boxes. From 200 to 300 men re in each of the station whiea are licated often on uninhabited islanda or in obscure fishing villages. A bomb practice scfocoi has been established ii.-d ther? is a big assembly and repair. ll'onlinued on page two) Cause and Penalties raged Belgium, defiled France, bombed the open towns of Great Britain and murdered American women and chil dren on the high seas, the Germans will henceforth lie to the uttermost, be lieving false promises may save them. Now that their bloody crimes have failed, they cringo before the least harmed of their marked victims and plead that their interests bo safeguard ed. . ....... They cannot speak honest words, having but a single meaning. Their ac ceptance of conditions for an armistice it so phrased as to mean' anything or nothing. Their promises of constitution al reforms have no present value. Prince Maximilian has not Bounded the reichstag and secured a vote of confi dence. since he became chancellor charg cd by the kaiser to initiate a peace offensive. Maximilian is as much an absolutist in hig power as were any 'of his prede cessors. Yet he declare no German gov ernment can take-office ' without the Support of a majority of the, reichstag. Nci peace announcement from Germany is worth anything unless it is guaran teed by, the military might of Ameri ca and the allies. No armistice can safe guard the interest of, democracy that isn't dictated by. Marshal. Poch, Gen eral Perching and the allied command ers. - , V ' , Germany has forfeited the, world's trust. The- penalty for that is uncondi tional .surrender...

London, Oci. 22. (British admiralty wireless.) The German method of con ducting international discussion makes it difficult to believe in her sincerity, or professions of sincerity. -Exanilna-tion of tho original German aceonn eoto to President Wilsott shows customary German subterfuge in pretending to ac cept what she certainly does not mean to accept. Tho second German noto said Ger many accepted tho president's thesis, the German word used being "satz." What tho president asked was whothcr Germany accepted his "terms." The answer was a deliberate indication to avoid acceptance of the terms. - This is proved by the fact that the German translation of the first Ameri can reply contained not the word "satze" but the word "bedingunen," the lattor being an accurate transla tion of the word terms in the sense of conditions. Thus Germany clearly understood the question aud gave a crooked answer. Reference to German newspapers of October 13, 14 and 15 shows that no body in Germany imagines for a mo ment that Germany has accepted . terms. - Acceptance of these was taken on all hands to mean only acceptance of the basis for negotiations and the wholo presg continued its assertion that Oor many would not surrender cither Al- sace-Lorraine or Prussian Poland. I It will be remembered also that tho Dortion of tho German chancellor's speech which implied the same refusal was carefully taacn irom ine version of the speech (which Germany sent abroad. Germany's conservative press com ment naturally has taken that view of the position (and liberal papers are equally emphatic. The Berliner Tageblatt speaks thru out of the "guiding principles" and sayt the whole German concession con sists merely of an admission that tho question of Alsace-Lorraine 'and Po land are now international questions. It protests against the appeal for free dom of Prussian Poles and say "only a completely defeated Germany could agree to separation of the - eastern marshes from Prussia."
