GLASGOW, Scotland.-In a state

ent of the New York Tribune, Sir
William Haggard, X. c. M. G., until his
retirement last year his majesty's min.
lister TO Brazil, warns America against
the menace OF German expansion in
South America, particularly In Brazil
Sir William had just received by mail
= from Rio Grande do Sui, the Bra.
lillian province most thickly populated
by Germans, letter which told of
aggressiveness on the part OF Ger
mans there. Their attitude was such
that the authorities had to call them
to order. There was a threatened at.
tack on German business houses, and
troops had to suppress the trouble.
The Brazilians dread a German VIC,
tory" said Sir Williams correspond.
Z ent, foreigner but English, "as much
as anyone, as it would simply mean
the appropriation OF this province
Sir William then told of the exist. |
ence of a map published in Germany
which sets forth as German territory
certain regions. including southern
Brazil, calling IL Antarctic GERMANY"
and he called attention to the claim of
the Pan-German Union on South Amer
lea, notably Brazil, as our inheritance
In one Of the richest quarters of the
globe"
Continuing, Sir william said: Had
the mass of Americans noticed the
German propaganda throughout South |
America, especially Brazil that
there are 600 German schools in Bra
zil, and did Americans know, as / do |
from successive German representa-.
tiyes in Brazil and from my own OBJ
servations, that those schools, which |
are entirely conducted in German, are |
directed. as they have been for years,
by the German government through |
their diplomatic representatives,? Had
they seen that map of Antarctic Ger.
/. nlany.t which represents those regions |
as German? Had they heard of the
Pan-German Unions claim to our in. /
heritance in one of the richest quar- /
tiers Of the globe?' Did they know |
that eminent German writer's like DR.. |
Eisenhartt had represented that Ger.
many was going to deal with England |
and the United States consecutively?
They would realize that all these eff.
forts were not purely philanthropical
but in preparation for a challenge of I
the Monroe doctrine by an invasion of
southern Brazil when the psych0logi- |
!. cal moment should arrive. That would /
be now-when England was dealt
with.
eEermsn Plan Of World Conquest"
Americans would then further un.
derstand that this would not only In.
rOlye a direct attack on the Monroe +
doctrine, but would form the apex
of the great German plan of world.
conquest which is now being attempt
ed. They would further realize the
fact that what now stands between
Germany and her attack on the Mon
roe doctrine, and even between the
/ United States and the menace to their
very. existence, are our ships in the
North sea and in the ocesn, and the
'battle-weary and bloodstained men in
the trenches" The Germans in the

persons. The large population al
ready there is carefully nursed from
Germany, which pays and directs the
clergymen and the schoolmasters.h
added Sir William "A German repre-
sentative in Rio told me one day that
he had just succeeded in getting
through the customs house free of
duty 10000 German school books sent
to him from Germany for the colonists.
II is hardly to be supposed that this
fostering has nothing but a sentiment
al object. In the states most popu-
/, lated by Germans there are not only
Scattered settlements but towns bear
ing German names, with German
churches and schools mainly support
ed from home-German newspapers,
in fact. all the surroundings of Ger
man life. have been repeatedly told
that many OF the children, even of
those born there, cannot speak Portu-
gRese-the language Of the country.
All this" concluded Sir William,
