ADMITS THEY WERE MISLED.
German Paper. Acknowledges II
People Were Told Untruths.

People Were Told Untruths.
lie Billet de Junius. translated from the Echo d
Paris. Of April g.
I read recently with real satisfaction an
interesting article in the der Tag" This
famous German paper only few months
ago grossly insulted and scorned France.
We can easily recall to mind the veno-
nous article written at the time Of the
incidents of Nancy by the Paris CORE
spondent of this publication. For the
Tag" France was a hideous cur which
could be taught reason by a single bite
of the German bulldog. Today the Tag"
uses a different language.
This German organ makes a long and
painful inca culpa." We were mistaken
in our calculation. it declares. and then
it goes on to enumerate all the deadly
plumbers that have brousIlt the empire
to the brink of the abyss
Germany really believed that India
would revolt as soon as the first shot
would be fired in Europe Instead thou
sands of Indians are fighting with the
English. The same disillusion in South
ern Africa and in ireland. Here also
subjects. Then Germany thought that
the English "pacifists" would force her
to remain neutral. Instead of this the
army and navy are becoming more and
more formidable and more and more de-
cided to carry on the war until COM
plete victory will be gained by her and
her allies.
AS To France. Germany thought that
she had become corrupted nation. with
out energy. having lost the very idea Of
national solidarity. Fatal error. France
is for Germany the formidable adver-
sary that we all know.
Listen to what the Der Tag has to
say OF Russia: We thought that Russia
could do nothing. We believed that the
people were too discontinued TO fight for
complete dissolution of this great mill
tary power. Yet Russia has quickly and
perfectly modified thousands of men.
Her people are full of enthusiasm. and
her strength is crushing
And the Tag concludes with melan-
choly: Those who taught us all these
errors, these miscalculations. this COLI
tempt of our neighbors and their affairs
have assumed a great responsibility
Thus the great dream of the Germans
of which the Der Tag was one OF the
most ardent and clustering advocates,
has been shattered. The admission of
the Der Tag is important: 1t is a docu-
ment convincing and precious.
Germany is now disllusioned. She is
confronted by stern truths. The people
themselves realize their folly and their
blindness. They see approaching with
terror their chastisement, and they try
to find out the real scapegoat.
This proves that the German bulldog.
dear to the Der Tag. has already received
several very cruel bites and that she will
not easily shake of the grip of the little

London. May u.-First Lord of the Ad-

Parliament that the British government
cannot furnish armed conveys to protect
incoming and outgoing mail and passen-

today by his foes. Those hostile to Mr..

that the inability of the admiralty to
police the steamer lanes around Great
Britain with men-of-war put merchant
ships at the mercy of the German SUBJ

The suggestion is now made to have

through which TRANSATLANTIC liners must

be rejected because all Englands avail
