 AGAINST WILSON

San Francisco, Sept. 23.-A1leged pro-German utterances, strongly crit tcizing President Wilson and his ad- ministration, by Walter w. Schultz, commissioner for Germany's unofficial participation at the Exposition and an employe in the foreign office of the Exposition. have been the subject of investigation by the directors of the Exposition. The statements of Schultz are alleged to have been made before the GermanAmerican National society at recent meeting here
 The case was brought to the atten- lion of President Moore of the Expo sition Directorate when Schultz had his address typewritten in one of the exposition department for the alleged purpose of circulating it among the German press President Moore said that he preferred not to make / statement on the case for publication. It is understood, however. that the board of directors has referred the case to Director in Chief Skiff. to whose department Schultz is attached
 Schultz is a retired lieutenant in the German navy and has an uncle, 1t is said, who Is an admiral in the German navy at the present time. The fol- lowing are excerpts of Schu1tz's all leged remarks which were referred to the board of directors as treason. able in the charge preferred against Schultz:
 '-If the allies lose. which is most probable England will be unable to pay her debts to the United States and she could exempt it through bank ruptcy proceedings. We have here striking example of bad governme ent which can but bring hard luck to the countryS
 The people generally are against ~r-.IA -a-a- T --rsL -Lk-- 1r but powerful groups of typocritics. It is of no use to write the President His advisers, Secretary Wilson and Secretary Lane, a Canadian, and the English ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, seem to be more to him than the voice of the people.
 We have one consolation left, that Is, that it is better to be a hyphenated I American citizen, who means well to his country, than to be a hypocrite anglo -cized schoo1naster,-aItho ough he 1 just by chance. is sitting in the Presi- dentiaI chair.
 Tt is regrettable that the United States has forfeited the friendship of the big German Empire. which will never forget her double dealing, Nand we German-Americans have to make it up later by telling Germany that 1t was not the fault of the American people, but due to the. doings Of their + regard to social pr political distinc- tion.n
