WILSON MOST HATED MAN IN GERMANY Eatrance of U. §. Into War Creates Bitter Sentjment=. The Hague, May 31.—Professor Herton Delmer, who was attached to the Berlin University &s professor of English many years before the out- break of the war, has just arrived here from Germany with his family. The professor spent the first months of the war In the internment camp at Ruhleben, but was subsequently re- leased and permitted to live in Berlin with his family, where they endured many hardships and privations, result- ing in broken health. ““The spirit of the German people,” said . Professor Delmer yesterday to a newspaper represéntative, “is now kept up by hopes of results from the ruthless submarine warfare and the ‘widespread belief that Great Britain is about to be forced to surrender, but otherwise the people realize that Ger- many is at the end of -her tether. “When\ America first entered the war the cue was that America was & decadent dollar nation, not to be feared for war, and that no further effectual help could be given to the Allies by her, as she had already helped all she could financially and materially. The more serious minded, however, regarded this as a mistake, and many considered that the gov- ernment had played the fool where America was concerhed. Men like Maximilian Harden outspokenly de- { clare the policy which led to the break with the United States to have beef exceedingly shortsighted. The nation feels it has been deceived in Pres- ident Wilson, as it took him for a man who could be won by soft sawder. He is now the most hated man in Ger- many.” < The professor attended the big an- nexationist meeting organized by Count Reventlow, &nd says that the people were not overenthusiastic. The meeting was, however, important, as it brought out the first clear definition of what Germans mean by freedom of the seas, although this part of the count’s speech was never reported even in his own organ. Reventlow sald: “Before the war we had freedom of the seas in a certain sense. But what we mean by freedom of the seas is not a mere peace-time freedom for trade in all seas, What we need and must have is such a degree of German naval power as shall guarantee its immediate superiority over possible enemies on the seas at the beginning of hostilities. That is why the Bel- sian coast is absolutely necessary to us. We must have the power and facilities immediately to bring our submarines and other naval forces to bear on our principal enemy:.’ Professor Delmer believéy that all the navy partly seek is the same sort of complete supremacy which the Ger- man’ army enjoyed at the first part of the war. FOR CIVIL SERVIGE FUND Plans Being Made to Keep System In- u«hm-mcuna-mw.fl During War. 9 i Atlantie City, N. J., May n.—mu\. for recruiting under the merit sys- tem, the hundreds of thousands of civil service employes the government needs for the war were before e executive .committee of the Natiohal Civil Service Reform League for,con- sideration with a meeting here foday. The league i cp-operating with the council of Natioha]l Defense in work- ing out a scheme whersby the merit system may be maintained intact and maximum efficiency obtained in the civil service. , A report drafted by officlals of the league who have been working with the Council of National Defense since the outbreak of the war has been laid before the executive committee. It recommends that the United States civil service commission be given an immediate appropristion of not less than $100,000 to discharge sdditonal duties and that new machinery to sup- plement the commission be created:in the council of National Defensé.. ~ .* “Efither a personnel officer should be appointed,” the report declares, *or a personnel committee.” At present there is 36 agencyggcharged with co- ordin the d inds of the vari- ous di ments, which often conflict. The civil service commission has'nb means of ascertaining the relative im- portance of conflicting demands for l civil emplayes, it says. ‘The report Is expected to be adopt- ed by the executive committee tonight, and will"be laid before the council of the leagus, which meets hre tomorrow and Saturday to ratify it before pre- genting it formally to the Federal gov- ernment. s ——— D!ES ON BALL !mn High School Player Hit Near lnn.

Amsterdam, May 31, via London.— The declaration is made by the semi- offcial Norddeutsche Allgemene Zeit- ung of Berlin that Germany desires no extension of territory for the purposs of aggradizement or of political or economic accretion of power. Ger- many wishes solely to defend her own territory against foreign plans of con- qQuest, the newspaper says, and more- over demands such guarantees as will sorve for the purpose of her future defense and self-possession. These statements are made in com- menting on the recent speeches Lord Robert Cecll, British minister of blockade, and H. H. Asquith, former British-premier. The newspaper says that, apart from the imputations in Mr. Asquith’s speech, the principles expounded coincide with thoge of re- sponsible German quarters, both for- merly and during the present war. Lord Robert Cecil said in the House of Commons on May 16 that Great Britain could not commit herselt to & policy of returning German - cols onies and Turkish provinces in which the matives had been mistreated, and asked whether duch a policy should be adopted in the cases of Poland, Al- sace-Lorraine and Italia Irredenta. He sald Germany should make reparation for despoiling Belgium, Serbia and northern France and destroying mer- chant ships.: Mr. Asquith said that' th- ‘war ‘were to end in an honor- peace there must be annexation, oonl.lnuu' the emancipation of popu- lations labering under despotism, and that the.retention of strategy posi- tions as safeguards against future at- tacks might be necessary. ‘ . Will Not Give Up Alaace. Copenhagen, via London, May 31, 6:35 a. m.—The lavish promises . of some of the outside intermediaries in the peace movement that the German socialists and the German govern- ment, in order to arrange - peace, would be ready to negotiate a settle- ment of the Alsace-Lorraine question under the guise of “frontier regula- tion” have no basis in fact, according to a statement made to the Associated Press by Dr. Eduard David, one of the most prominent of the German socialist delegates to the Stockholm conference. Dr. David wes emphatic in declaring that no German party. and no German government cottld or regarded as a fixed part of tho man empire- According to the socialist lead only alterations of frontier could be comtemplated by the man socialist party were such 1 ones as were based on local tions and considerations. Ameug| phrases he uséd were: “The question of Alsace-Lorraine | purely a German internal one;* sace-Lorraine is German lan formula of peace Without anneatios does not apply to Alsace-Lorraine, bee cause there has been no posséssion during the war;" “Nelf the German government nor the man socialists are willing to su: Alsace-Lorraine.” g The program with which the G man majority “soclalists aro going Btockholm, Dr. David, included “restoration” .of Belgium, His | uage left it uncertain as to he meant financial ald toward pes ing the desolated countr» to l' war conditios As far as R Poland is conchrned, the hm cialists advocate a plebiscite ’v termine whether the population: the establishment of a kingdom: Austro German suspices or alf by | with Russia, either as part country or as a Polish state with relations to 1 it eastern nelghb Among the several out of town mef \registered for the draft in the city clerk’s office this morning were two alfens, Eladio Garcia of New York and Carl Kronjg of Derby.
