Radoslavoff, and his cabinet, declining the proposals of the quad- ruple entente powers for the cession of Macedonian territory to Bulgaria.” The correspondent of the Giornale D'Italla in his despatch adds: “I am assured that Greece and Ser- bia are sending a note of protest to the great powers, declaring that it is impossible to accept a Balkan under- standing on such terms.

Annapolis, Md., June 14.—A virtual charge of tampering with the evidence of witnesses before the court inquiry which is investigating irregularities in examnation papers at the naval acad- emy, was made today against Admiral Fullam, superintendent of the acad- emy, by Congressman James Hay, of counsel for seven of the midshipmen defendn Objectionable Methods. When the court reassembled after the luncheon recess Mr. Hay arose and said that in view of the evidenece given by Midshipman C. O. Ward and W. J.

ON MARITIME WARFARE Lokal Anzeiger Declares Problem May Be Solved With Good Will—Tage- blatt Against Whip the World Policy. Berlin, via London, June 14, 9.50 p. m. —The Lokal Anzeiger prints a note- worthy article on German-American relations by its general director, Eugen Zimmerman, which, coming on the heels of Friday’s conciliatory article, is taken to mean that influential repre- sentatives of politics and business are standing behind this paper and exert- ing their efforts for a German-Ameri- can understanding. Problem May Be Solved With Good Wwill. on,’ “President W says Herr Zim- merman, ‘desires nothing more and nothing less than an_ understanding between and’ England con- cerning ti of maritime warfare which, at ame time, will insure the safety American = passengers. The task is not light, considering the development of naval war, but it can be solved if all interests display good will.” New Form of Naval Warfare. A new form might be given to naval warfare, Herr Zimmerman continues, on the basis that passengers on ships with 1l marks of identification and ng under the government that he; are unarmed, eive proper consideration at hands of submarine commanders. The compromise must also involve the withdrawal of the British edmiralty’s instructions to merchantmen to attack and ram submarines on sight. A Second Side to the Question. The article ventures to indicate for the first time to the German public that there may be a second side to the question of arms shipments, on which the press for months has been harping. Herr Zimmermann pays his respects to what he terms “tvpewriter heroes who, far from the front, are preaching war to the knife against everybody,” and ludes Ways to Arrive at an Understanding. “We wish to act and write with blood and iron, but just because we are fearless and determined we may look for possible w by which to arrive at _an understanding with America. We need not close up our department of incoming and outgoing declarations of war, which heretofore has worked nobly, but it seems to me that we can curtail the output some- what without incurring a reputation for essive caution.” Avoidance of New Conflicts. The editor of the Tageblatt, Theodor Wolff, also publ: an article in fa- vor of a policy aimed at the avoidance of new conflicts and the bringing in of nmew adversaries. He urges, as a sultable method for giving German diplomacy adequate authority and prestige at home, to stand firm against jingo and whip-the-world enthusi- asts,” the creation of an advisory coun- cil force in which foreign ministers and secretaries of foreign affairs members bassadors and leading parliament should have seats. AMERICAN MEDIATION SCORES ONE SUCCESS. Exceptional Treatment of Submarine Prisoners in England Discontinued— Also Retaliatory Measures by Ger- mans. Berlin, v m.—As a London, June 14, 11.45 p. s a result of American mediation, the e: ional treatmemt which was being accorded to German submarine boat prisoners in England and to an equal number of Dritish officers prison- ers in Germany has been discontinued. Germany today notified the American embassy that the British officers who tment here would, like the submarine prison- ers in England, hereafter be confined with other prisoners of war and siven he same treatment. With this incident out of the w it is hoped that the negotiations be- tween Germany and Great Britain for the release of prisoner civilians who are incapacitated for military service which were interrupted when the cap- tured crews of submarines were placed in confinement may be resumed. The negotiations at that time were virtu- ally complete. Arthur J. Balfour, the new secretary of the British admiralty, announced June 9 that German submarine prison- ers thereafter would be treated exact- ly as all other German prisoners in England. Great Britain soon after the cmomencement of Germany’s sub- marine blockade held the captured crews of submarines apart from other German prisoners, and it was intimat- ed that these men were to be severely dealt with after the war. Germany alleged that they were being maltreat- ed, and certain British officer prisoners in’ Germany were selected for treat- ment of equal ha ness. Representa- tives of the American embassies in Serlin and London recently visited these prisoners and reported on the treatment that was being accorded them.
