GERMAN

ARE SORE
FAILURE OF AMERICAN FLEET
TO VISIT GERMANY. AND
SPEECHES MADE BY AMERI-
CAN OFFICERS CONSIDERED A
DEILBERATE AFFRONT.


Berlin, Dec. 21.--The fraternizing
of English, American and French
fleets, with the exclusion of Ger
many's vessels, is said to have caused
bitter feeling on the part of Ger
many's naval heads. The failure of
the American fleet on its European
tour to stop over at Wilhelmshaven,
although 1t passed within four hours
sail of that port. is regarded as an
affront by some of Germany's lead
ing naval and military men. and as
the itinerary of the feet was outlined
by President Taft and the heads of
the navy and state department they
are inclined to regard 1t as an affair
between nations.
Count Reventlow, an eminent Ger
man naval expert, is one of the lead
ers in the anti-American faction. The
count has expressed himself as bit
terly angry at the alleged affront,
and also has taken exception to sew
eral speeches made at public enter
tainments to the American feet IN
England by American speakers.
