eiated Press here learns that the govern
ment will take an early opportunity to
refer to the speech of the United States
ambassador
A remarkable article has appeared in
the New Deutsche Zetung. the leading
organ OF the Pan~German party. After
approving of Mr.. Whites speech and re-
minding the Americans of the past close
relations between the two countries, the
paper asks:
How has the United States treated us
In return? How has she thanked us for
past fayors during the last decade? The
United States throughout has been I'M
friendly TO us In its economic. commercial
and political course. and has treated US
worse than any other European state.
She has been guilty of a breach Of a SOL
erhn pledge testified by her own president,
Cleveland. From these causes flows The
antipathy undoubtedly prevailing on our
side against the United States. an am
tpathy which is justified and which is
by no means confined 10 a few unimportant
papers. but extends 20 all the German
press. with the sole exceptions Of Barth's
Die Nation and Liehknecht's Vorwaerta.

found for German antinathy for America
and Americans like Mr.. White ought 10
try to remedy and remove the causes OF
friction. Germany has always been justly
fair. even 10 her enemies. Let the UGited
States begin TO ne Jus, and fair TO its

The Vorwaerts says:
1T Were mere folly 20 disguise the fact
that the relations between the German
and American governments are no longer
as friendly as could hp wished in the in
'crests Of Germany and peace. Certainly
the German government thus far has not
taken a step which America would he

I'VE must admit that the Americans
have reason 70 believe that Germany lacks
good intentions. Since the outbreak Of
the war not only the entire government
