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.

Cause and

Now that their bloody crimes have

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

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

Meanwhi'le ithey are prayin? to every

Apparently the rainy season has
commenced, holding out the hope that
General Winter will grant the truce
which the allies refused. However, the

Ludendorff s general plan : seems
clear, i It consists of refusing battle on

Reports have reached Paris that the
Huns do not intend to defend Ant

much material. " (

GERMANS PRETtUD
ACCEP1ICE0IILY
TO DIVIDE ALLIES
Evidence Seen On" All Sides
That Plan Is Made For
Diplomatic Wrangle.
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."
Elsewhere the Tageblatt says there
