TABS ON SPEECHES ‘Cabinet Folows America - Comments Closely Berlin, Jan. 13.—(®—Every time that President Coolidge, Dawes, Kel- logg. Mellon, or Borah issue a pub- lic pronouncement, there is unusual activity in the press division of the German Foreign office on Wilhelm- strasse. It is because there is a standing order In the department that press reports of the utterances by these American statesmen should immedi- stely be brought to the attention of President von Hindenburg and the other members of the government. The manner in which these pro- nouncements as well as other news- paper facts are communicated to the German leaders is as different in cach case as it is interesting. Take the Marx cabinet as an {nstance. Hindenburg ILikes Comics President von Hindenburg reads but few newspapers aside from & qaily from his home town. Hanover. ‘The digest of the world’s news is| communicated to him orally each | day at 11 a. m. by the chief of the | government's press bureau, Dr. Zechlin. Zechlin goes at his job from a journalistic point of view, that is, he narrates the news in the order of its importance. Following the news come the leading cartoons of the day and newspaper jokes on persons in the public limelight. The soldier- president enjoys this feature of the dally report immensely, and it is re- ported that Zechlin has become a favorite of the president by his iudicious selection of humorous ma- terial. The president also receives a dally press report on military matters. Soldler that he is, he watches the | ministry of defense with keener in- terest than any other governmental department. Marx Read Germania Chancellor Marx confined his reading of newspapers chiefly to' the Germania, the Berlin daily organ of the Center party, and the Koelnische Volkszeitung, Cologne organ of the Center party for the'Rhineland. The chancellor is a native of Cologne. « Dr. Marx also received a daily di gest of news from the press division. In his case, however, interest center- ed particularly in the provincial | press. As the political head of the country, he was anxious to know what the folk out in the country | thought. | Foreign Minister Stresemann was: the most ardent newspaper reader in | the cabinet. He personally perused | abont a dozen newspapers daily and | then rang up the government press | |§ division to make sure he had not | overlooked anything. He pamcululy desired to know what leading for- eign journals had translators were accordingly kept | busy, putting together comments and ! items from the world press. § Gessler Immune to Comment Tn contrast to Dr. Stresemann, the minister of defense, Dr. Otto Gess- ler, would tell everybody who cared to hear it that he never read any aewspaper. If he did, he claimed, he { |3 would soon jar his nerves at reading all the attacks to which his depart- ment was ' constantly subjected. When one watched Gessler in the | Reichstag, however, as he answercd || the attacks of the opposition, one was Inclined to think that somehow he found out, after all, what the /presas sald about him. .. The minister of the interior, Dr. . Wiihelm Kuelz, personal went through the leading Berlin dailles each day and marked for closer reading whatever items espe- clally interested him. These were then cut out by his secretaries and given him for perusal whenever he | had a few moment’s time. | CONFESSED CROOKEDNESS | BUT 60T HIS J0B BACK | This Is Claim Made by Former Commander of Coast Guard Patrol Boat. | | New York, Jan. 13 (A—After con- fessing to superior officers in the | coast guard that he had accepted bribes from rum runners and had participated in the hi-jacking of a disabled liquor boat, Frederick C.
