AMERICAN TESTIMONY
Refugees Speak of Their Good Treat
 ment in Germany

ROTTERDAM, Aug. PA thorough canvass of Americans here shows that the Germans have been universally courteous to them. The hardships un- dergone by citizens of the United States have been due in all cases to the conditions attending mobilization, the lack of facilities for travel, and at first a restriction of the hours during which the streets could be frequented. A week afte-- the opening of hostilities the latter restraint was eliminated.
 During the first few days of mobili- zation the Germans were all confident that they would win. When it became known that England had made common cause with France and Russia, feel ing of depression came over the entire nation Since then this feeling is said to have given place to resignation and a grim determination to do the best possible.
 Men of all classes are volunteering for service in the field. During the first week 100000 enrolled. It is as- serted that women urge their hus- bands and sons to die for the father land.
 Americans returning from Germany deny emphatcally that the English have been abused by the Germans ex- cept in small towns where the contro was temporarily lax. There is nc doubt that the Germans have made 2 special effort to be friendly to Ameri- cans and the feeling has prevailed that America is the only nation at al | friendly to Germany.
