Another Interesting Letter From Ger.

Given to Our Readers through the Cour
tesy of r. NJ Adams

note with much interest what you
say about our American friends and
that there are many siding with our
Country. Surely all of German descent
lures which think they are something
extra when they. in spite of their nam
es showing the origin, deny their Ger
man blood, all Austrians, most of the
Scandinavians in your country side

Yes, the Anglo American papers fav-
or the Allies. but as you state these
papers do not represent the true Amer
lean opinion, l feel a good deal better
about It, In fact the understanding is
in Germany, that the Anglo American
papers are run by English money and
it would even take long way to con-
vince myself of the contrary. The
proof is too plain. The whole text is
f!attering the Allies, foremost England
and kicking Germany in a low and
shameless manner. Clara has some
times taken one of Alex papers after
opening the envelope and glancing
little at the text and thrown it against
the WALL being cross with the almost
childish way in which the stories are
told wondering whether the cheekeness
of the English writer was greater or
the childhood of the reader who was
to believe such stuff.

things because the lies are daily, but
for instance there are someway in your
papers every other day Il mean the
New York papers) German reverses.
Now Harry where do you think the
German Army would be if it were So
Reverses since 6 months-naturally
either in Siberia or even off the Globe,
would not she?
Just to give you fair idea of the
world war it seems to me only neces-
sary to state from the official report
that we have taken so far $50 900 five
hundred and eighty six thousand) pris-
oners of war. being English, French,
Russians and Colored. AND of our
Army the enemy has taken $4,000 in
all, probably more or less the wounded
he could get hold of-and then he
counts besides this number all civil
German prisoners as war prisoners,
which of course our army does not.
But the Anglo American papers see
the Germans every other day reverse.
The wish being the father of the thot.
Clara and I were down to one of the
military Layers near Hamburg, the
Munster Lager, the other day. Ger
