PAN-GERMANS
IN WAR SPIRIT
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

WIESBADEN Germany, Sept. r.
War spirit Is growing in Germany.
This is the significant deduction from
expressions at the annual conference
OF the Pan German League which be-
gan here today The league can be
safely said fairly TO represent the great
mass Of Germans and both on the
speech and reports OF committee, a
bellicose spirit is manifested
This war spirit is directed princi-
pally against Great Britain, but violent
antagonism TO the United states. is
also shown. 1t grows out OF the feel
ing among Germans that America is
trying to undermine German indus
tries in South America
A vigorous foreign policy for Ger
many especially against the United
States will be urged.
Kaiser William comes in for severe
criticism in the executive committee's
report. He is described as a weakling
who fails to back up his words with
deeds.
! The report openly declares that Ger
many has no confidence in williams
control of affairs. IL urges rapid and
| substantial Increases in the navy.
Attempts which have been made tC
establish more. friendly relations be-
tween Germany and England are de-
nounced.
