Berlin, June l6-The correspondent here OF
the Associated Press is informed that mere !"
no change and that no change is contemplated
IN Germany's attitude OF neutrality.
At the outbreak OF the war Emperor william
said he intended to adopt a strictly Impartial
course adding that he would certainly NOT 90
anything to disturb the relations OF commerce
and blood between Germany and the Oh''eo
States. where so many Germans have found nos
pitable homes.
This attitude His Majesty still adheres TO- anu
