BEU1.1N, July ti. Admiral Oscar von
Turpltx, commander of the German
natal forces, in an article published in
Ihp Tug Zietung today warns Germani
of the danger of a breach with the
United States over the simmarlne war"
fare. The admiral asserts that a dis
agreement with the United States can
have no other effect than to further
increase the resources of tin1 allies
which will also have the effect of still
further increasing the difficulties of
Germany. The admiral is apparently
not great'y in favor of continuing the
submarine warfare along lines that
threaten to bring the German nation
into a state of rupture with the United
States as lie states in umiliallfied terms
that a continuation of the present
methods is hound to lead to trouble
between the two countries. “Every
hour in which Germany continues in
her present course,” asserts von Tur
plts, “threatens to increase still further
the friction already existing between
the two nations over the submarine
warfare.”
