FRANCE TURNING AGAINST
ENGLAND, METZ DECLARES
coneressnans Assertions pported by cemenceaus Com
plant That Are Bea ring the Burden of the European
War, While England Is Not Suffering Invasion Hardship

TO his attention, Mr. Metz returned
to the attack with extra force.
'fHillis has got lot to learn he
said Germany isn't looking for
French territory. Germany doesnt I
want q foot Of French territory.
When this war is over you'll see that
Germany won't want thing from
France. Germany realizes what the
situation Is, and she'll give back to
France everything that she has.
Germany doesn't want any more
conquered prov inces from France.
She has enough now with Alsace-
Lorraine.
mo, it's England that's got to pay
the price. England with her insular
provincialism, England with her
holier- than-thou attitude. And Eng
land will pay!
France doesn't get the news Of
what's going on. The French prison
ers that I saw in Frankfort were
amazed that they had been brought
there and that they st!ll found it be-
longed to Germany. Why, we thought
Frankfort and Berlin had been
captured is what they said. What
do these things mean that they've
been telling us?' That's what you'll
find in the minds of all the French.
They've been fooled and tricked, and
they are beginning to realize 1t.
There's no cause for enmity be-
tween France and Germany. Made in
Germany brought this war and moth
ing else It was German supremacy
that aroused England. 1t was Ger
many's progress that made England
responsible for the war. France didn't
care about Germanys industrial su-
premacy. England did. England
moved to destroy"
Mr.. Metz expressed himself as firm
ly convinced that the finish of the
war Is going to be fought on English
soil and that England Is doomed to
experience all the horrors that have
been the portion OF Belgium and
France.
German Soldiers Confident.
There is not a German soldier
who does not know that he is going
TO get to England" said the Repre-
sentative. They do not think that
there is going to be an invasion of
England; they know it and feel 1t.
They all know that nothing can stop
to fight in England against England.
"MIlitarism in Germany? There's
no such thing. There's not man,
woman or child In Germany whose
heart and soul are not in this war
There's not a dissenting voice In the
empire against the use Of anything
and everything in defense OF the
Fatherland. There is not one man
In Germany who isn't eager to get
to the front. If that is militarism,
then there's no such thing as patriot
ism. no such thing as a united
country.
"And Germany isn't worrying a bit
You wouldn't Know that there Is
war when you visit Germany IL 1t
weren't for the wounded. Everything
is quiet. Everything is going on In its
usual orderly way. Germany Is
quietly confident.
"1f DR.. Hills could sense the spirit
in Germany today he would change
his views But who cares what DR.,
Hills says, anyhow? He is q grand
stander and he always was.
LAS regards this country there is no
feeling in Germany against the
United States. The feeling is one OF
sorrow that the people over here have
been so misled, but Germany believes
that we win change our minds"
