SECRET HEARING
OF LIBEL SUIT OF
FOREIGN LEADER
Editor Defendants in Von
Kuehlmann Action Refuse to
Compromise Despite Ap
peal of Courts,
Amsterdam, July 5. Because pub
, Hcity might endanger the security of
.-:ihe state the president of the court,
,: which is to hear testimony in tfie libel
suit of Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann,
the foreign secretary, against two
Berlin editors, announced at the open
ing session of the trial Thursday, that
the case would be heard in secret.
This action was taken after the presi
dent of the court had failed to obtain
a compromise between the foreign
secretary and the defendants, Max
. Lohan, editor of the Deutsche Zei
tung, and Julius Duncfce, editor of the
Deutsche Blaetter.
A number of prominent German
political leaders were in attendance.
Among them were Foreign Secretary
von Kuehlmann, Vice Chancellor von
Payer, Herr Nollenberg, director of
' the Deutsche bank and Major von
: Kessles of the German foreign office.
Refuse to Compromise.
Addressing the accused editors, the
.." president of the court asked whether
it was not possible to settle the mat
ter by loyal explanations on the part
' of the plaintiff. Herr Lohan replied:
"We have no interest in washing
dirty linen under the gaze of enemy
countries. Above all it is quite re
mote from our intention to dish up
bedroom secrets, but in the interest of
- the country and the foreign office the
case should proceed.
s "The article I have to answer for
aims at the removal of Dr. von Kuehl
mann as a politically harmful person
: and possesses a certain guarantee
,; that at no distant date Dr. von Kuehl
, mann will retire. I am ready to give
him an explanation in his private ca
( pacity, as I had no intention to af-
front him in his private capacity."
Herr Duncke said he agreed with
the statement of Herr Lohan;
The public prosecutor then demand-
ed that the case be heard in secret.

Allies' Ideals Stronger
Than All Hun Weapons,
Says Secretary Daniels
New York, July 4. The ideals of
freedom and justice, enforced by the
willingness to sacrifice of 21 nations
are stronger than all the batteries of
Krupp, all the aircraft of Zeppelin,
all thes trategy of Hindenburg, and
more invincible than all the undersea
assassins of Von Tirpitz, Secretary
Daniels said here tonight in an Inde
pendence Day address.
It was the naval secretary's sec
ond speech of the day in connection
with New York's celebration of the
Fourth of July. In the morning at
Tammany hall he told a great au
dience what American shipbuilders
are doing in building merchant craft
and men-of-war to meet Germany's
challenge.
"On this anniversary," said Mr.
Daniels today, "while owing most for
independence to the commanding fig
ure of George Washington, we turn
to Jefferson, second only to the illus
trious successful military chieftain
of the revolution, for the inspiration
that nerved men then as now to place
love of free government above love
of life."
