Von Jagow Demands
Neutral Treatment
For the Submarine
By WILLIAM BAYARD HALE)
(Special Correspondent at Berlin) I
Berlin. July It. ? I called today
upon Minister of Foreign Affairs
Von Jagjpv, and I laid before him a
telegraphic report from Washington, |
Tla London, representingi that the
United States Government, though
admitting the pacific character of
| the Deutschli^pd, would not protest
if the / warships of the* - alliee.!
were to assemble at the month of
of the Chesapeake, the Lon-|
don interpretation being that the
United 8tates Oovernment did not;
feel concerned regarding the treat
ment accorded the boat upon the
high seas.
Minister Von Jagow said:
."I find this report altogether In
credible. It is incredible in tie
first place that any gtffforQmeftt
would announce In advaaAfclts d*-j
claion on a hypothetical
"In the second place. It incred
ible that anybody lo authority at
Washington would make a announce
ment which, In effect, suggests or
jlnVltes an attack upon a German
merchantman by the ships of the Bn

"I dismiss as absurd the possibil
ity that such an announcement 4*
that recorded in the London Times
-could hare been made In Washing1
I ton.
At the same time yon will not
fall to understand the mlschler to

Germany and the United States!
which the dissemination of reports
like this does.

Chicago, July 18. ? A desperate
