BERLIN, Jan. 31.-(New York World
Cablegram-special Telegram.)-Dr. Theo-
dore Barth is the leader of the liberal
left wing in the German Reichstag. and
probably the ablest man In that assembly
next to Deputy Bebel He is personally
acquainted with President Roosevelt, knew
President Mckinley and has Travelled much
IN America. Dr. Barth has made the fol-
lowing statement to the World:
1.-THE reason suspicion OF German policy
is growing in America is because America
does not understand Germany. Germany
understands America still less. But / can
not explain the dislike growing up against
this country.
Il am convinced that neither in the for
eign ministry nor in the marine ministry
is there any feeling but sincere desire
TO carry out this Venezuelan matter in a
spirit friendly to the United States. The
best proof of this is the alliance with Eng
land.
mo one who knows Chancellor Won Bue-
low or the whole trend OF Germanys for
eign policy can believe that Germany en-
tertains plans either in Central or South
America There may be people in high
places who want to carry out the policy of
the rough but these are not in the gov
ernment nor responsible.
''I am In correspondence with former
Ambassador White, and his views on this
question coincide with mine"
DR.. Frankfurter, the chief editor Of the
Boerzen Courier and one of the best known
authorities in Berlin on foreign politics
said:
Il am utterly at a loss to explain the
growing suspicion OF Germany in America
Germany has no Interior motive. Every
card II has is on the table. 1t is an in
justice TO Germany to suppose that It is moi
playing this game fair. No one here
dreams Of colonial ACKNOWLEDGMENT at the
expense OF the Monroe doctrine.
II am astonlshed that so independent
people as the Americans will allow them
selves TO be influenced on this question b!
England. l am fully persuaded that Eng
lish Intrigue Is at the root of alt the grow
ing dislike Of Germany in the United States
Il thought that after the magnificent re
ception given to Prince Henry the two ma
tions would draw nearer. l am disap
pointed. They have not been thick friends
They can never be with their rival com
mercial interests. but they ought to ssarl
to tolerate one another"

reported that two men tried to enter the
Metz brewery shortly before the Kirkland

The Brandes holdup occurred at about
IL 80 o'clock. The saloon has three doors,
one at the corner of the building at the in
tersection of the streets, another on Mason
street and the third at the west end of the
house off Mason. Walter Brandes, Ed Brath,
the bartender Lou Herman OF 1908 Pacific

fair came off. The two men, one wearing

OF william Gardiner, a choirmaster and lay

of Rose Harsent, a beautiful servant, in

because the jury could not place confidence
in the testimony OF Gardeners fellow vii
layers, and the belief that perjury and
slander are INDUCED. in by East Anglican
yokels without stint or compunction, that
the prosecution failed
The Daily Mail published an article
signed by a person long in East Anglia
Norfolk and Suffolk painting the con-
dition OF general lack of morality among
the East Anglian peasants in language
never applied to a civilized community.
This writer whose indictment has
aroused extreme indignation in the districts
affected, says:
Baby tongues lisp such converse as
would be shameful from the most aban~
doned and prohigate, and the loudest pro-
fessors of religion are the worst offenders
Their attendance at church or chapel is but
a hypocritical cloak. The most callous
frequently is the shining ornament Of the
church.
'In addition. the habtual vice OF un-
truthfulness obtains to an incredible extent.
No villager would consider whether he
should tell the truth or not from any
other point OF view than his personal ad-
vantage. To lie, il 1t be profitable. is a
mere matter OF course, and long habit has
given these people the power Of sticking
to their lies in the face Of overwhelming
