GERMAN AMERICANS
 WOULD MAKE SMALL NEWS FROM GERMANY

WASHINGTON Aug 1.-The Amer. ican Association of Commerce and Trade of Berlin, through Ambassador Gerard, requested the state depart. ment to make public the following telegram:
 We ask the American public and the American people to be careful in giying credence to war reports circu. lating in the United States concerning conditions in Germany, Berlin is per. fectly quiet Food prices arc normal Foreigners. and especially Americans are fully protected"
 It is stated that the request is sent .out due to the fact that much news has been coined by irresponsible news agencies and independent news suppl. .ers. A large portion of this coined news 1t is stated. has been such as would directly prejudice the American public against the German Iorces.
 The request is also sent out to for warn all that there is no state of fam inc iR the German empire, and that the city of Berlin is safo for an Amer icaD refugees.
