Berlin, Wednesday, Sept. 20, via London, Sept. 21, 12:30 p. m.—Re- newed and full discussion in the Information of the controversy which led to the re- tirement of Admiral Von Tirpitz as minister of the navy appears to be in- evitable in consequence of the publi- cation vesterday of the letters ex- changed hetween Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg and the admiral. Trom these letters the public learn that in a private conversation Pro- fessor Valentin asserted Admiral Von Tirpitz had misled the Reichstag in regard to the number of available submarines and the possibility of a submarine campaign. The admiral demanded that the chancellor discipline Professor Ve%n- tin, but the chancellor, while freeing the admiral from the charges, took the position that the professor was not subject to his disciplinary powers. Proof Stolen From Admiralty, These letters, however, touched only the fringes of accusations and allega- tions which for months circulating from mouth to mouth in connection with this controversy. Tkere is attributed to Prof. Valentin not only the statement that Von Tirpitz furnished incorrect figures regarding the number of available submarines, which charge the chancel- lor declares unfounded, but also the declaration that the admiral delib- erately misled the Reichstag and the chancellor regarding the previous success of the submarine campaign and the amount of tonnage destroved. and that the foroign office obtained the correct ures only from papers stolen from the admiralty, The a nt of Professor conversation not only reached Admiral form of an affidavit war ministry and fe subjects of discussion granted last month by the King of Bavaria to a delegation which de- raanded a change in the imperial to the ned Bavarian one of the at gn audience fare against Great Britain. Question of Veracity. Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung this afternoon Professor Valentin denies fatly the mention of the theft papers from the admiralty or that. as charged in the affidavit, he cited as avthority for this statement the chan- cellor, with whom at that time he was not acquainted. There has arisen a s Valentin and the author of the affi- davit, Prof. Grossman, ditor of the South German Monthly, a prominent political periodical. The partisans of the admiral and of the chancellor, the protagonists of cpposing a breach with the States, have thrown themselves the controversy, and hy the time the Reichstag convenes ample for a vigorous clash doubtless will be available to the Reighstag orators as well as to the chancellor, should he determine to refer to the issue in his expected speech on the general situa- tion.
