German Foreign Office Officials Say the State
mems May Prove Somewhat Disturbing TO
the Pleasant Relations With the United
States. Declares the American Nancuvers
in West Indian Waters We're III Chosen.

Berlin By Cabe) The German For
eign Office officials say tlNy do not be
lieve that a diplomatic incident will re
suit from the recent interview with
Admiral Dewey. published i'll American
newspapers and containing references 10
the German Navy and German Emperor,
he officials say they are reluctan; TO
believe that the Admiral was correctly
quoted. especially i'll view OF the good
will he showed toward Germany i'll the
messages exchanged with Prince Henry.
The Foreign Office officials add that
should the interview turn ont to he true
ii would prove somewhat disturbing to
the pleasan. relations with the United
States
No official information on the subject
has been received from Washington. Re
fcrring to the recent American naval
maneuvers in West Indian waters. the
officials OF the Foreign Office say they
appear to have been i'll chosen, since
Germany has no interests i'll the West
Indies. and il would seem that the
maneuvers could with greater aptitude
have been alluded 10 as being against
England. because England. on the other
hand. has territory there.
The interview with Admiral Dewey
has angered the newspapers here. Even
those of a usually moderate tone refer to
il i'll bitter manner. For instance, the
Fos>ische Zeitung says:
The American Navy is evidently sui
fering from disease OF infancy-lack OF
modesty. Its leader evinccs something
unspeakably immature. One can only
stand amazed that such intensified self
complacency should take root i'll a people
of Germanic origin. Such behavior
would not excite wonder il it had oc
