The German Associated Press makes
public an authoritative statement to the
effect that the reports imputing to the
German people plans for acquiring terri
tory in the western hemisphere are abso
lutely basaless. 1t says "Gtrmany does
not intend in any way 10 acquire terri
tory in North, Central or South America.
She values the friendship of the United
States far too highly to jeopardize it by
acquiring such territory, large or small. '
This is reasonable aud sensible on the
part of the great German nation.
