Th were officers of the interned cruisers Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz Friedrich. Some of them the United States knows now to be in ac- tive service in Germany. In part Mr. Lansing’s protest reads: “On October 10, 1015, six officers, Vizesteuermann Heinrich Hoffman, Heinrich Rudebusch, Wilhelm For- streuter, Erich Biermann, Ing Aspir- ants Julius Lustfleld and Walter Fish- er, of the German cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, interned at Norfolk, Va., re- ceived permission to go ashore and to return by 8 a. m., October 11. These officers have not been seen since, and are supposed to have de- parted on board the yacht Eclipse, which was purchased by Vizesteuer- mann Hoffman, shortly before their departure. “On September 29, Stabsarzt, Dr. Keuger Kroneck and Lieutenant See Koch, of the Ger- man cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich, ob- tained perm on to go on a visit to New York city and Niagara Falls and to return to their ship on October 18. These officers, however, have not re- | turned to their ship and were scen in the Pennsylvania station, New York city, on October 17. Another Flimsy Promi “The German Friedrich arrived diction on March interned on April 9, 1915 March 10 the commanding officer was direct- | ed to allow none of his oflicers or crew on shore for the present The com mander acknowledged the receipt of this notice and stated that he would act accordingly. On March 12 the commanding officer G permission for his officers and meu to go ashore, if they did not leave Newport News. On March 17, 1915, two days prior to the granting of the commander's re- quest, the executive officer, i. e., the second officer in command, Otto Brauer, left the ship. The depart- ment now has reliable information that Brauer has returned to Germany | and is on duty on board the cruiser Lut at Danzig “Dr. Nolte obtained leave of absence from the Prinz Eitel Friedrich to go to Newport News and Old Point Comfort, Va., and return on May 31 last. Dr. Nolte has not as yet re- turned to his ship. “On or about June 14, 1915, man Deike, engineer oricer of the Locksun, interned at Honolulu, left h hip and is yet in violation of the parole. “In view of the apparent disregard of these members of the complements 1915, Marine e. cruiser Prinz in American 19, 1915, and Eitel juris- wis | w Her- of the interned vessels at Norfolk for their word of honor while on parole, the navy department on October 14, | 1915, was under the necessity of (H—‘ dering that no officers or men be al- lowed to leave the ships until the ab- | sent officers and seamen had returned. | I Parole Is Discontinued, “I therefore regret to have to in- form Your Excellency that the United States government regards the actions of these men as contrary to its express instructions and as breaches of the honorable conduct to be expected of officers and men of visiting and in- terned ships of war of a belligerent nation, and that consequently the gov- ernment has been forced to discon- tinue the custom of paroling the in- terned officers and men on their hon- or and otherwise to circumscribe the very liberal privileges which the)" have heretofore been allowed to ene Joy.” To this charge the Prussian Foreign office made in the effect the following reply:— The commanders of {liarfes unfortunately, did not suffi- clently instruct their officers and crews regarding the significance of the “assurance’” (versicherung) given by them. Moreover, the expression “pledge” does not conform absolutely to the idea of the “word of honor" (ehrenwort), The persons who es- caped, therefore, were obviously con- vinced that they would not, through their act, render themselves guilty of a breach of their word of honor. The German government acknowl- edges the fact, however, that the men who esoaped were in the wrong toward the American government, Of these persons only Stabsarzt Kruger- kroneck returned to Germany, the ro- ply suys, Ho will bo inutructed to re- turn to his vessel as ®oon as the American government haw obtained gafe conduct for him from the hostila the two aux- The reply of the Unlited Btates was brusque, It read:— “That these officers are not com- nizant of the prinoiples of interna- tional law can not be i A 40c VALUE Whole, full-bodied peanuts—not the common split variety usually sold at this price.
