Congressman Foss Is very indignant at
the manner in which his interview with

headlines for yellow Journals. One of these
correspondents cahled a faxed interview
with Mr.. Foss IN which he IL made to
charge the German emperor with saying
that the German-Americans would see 10
Il that the United States would never be
hostile 20 Germany. Mr.. Foss says not
only that no such remark was made bu,
that he never had an interview Of any Kind
with the correspondent; He says his inter
view with the emperor wac OF the mos,
friendly character. In which the latter took

Antitrust? No: for the reason that many

evil: others believe that both parties have
