Food Shipped from

LAREDO, Tex, June 29.-An unofficial

one case of the kind. II was learned
that about month ago a car OF beans

practice frequently resorted TO by
Monterey merchants, however, is to re-
fill with the native product. bags that
contained American flour. then sell the
flour as American. American flour brings
a higher price than does the Mexican

VIEWS OF GERMANS
AMERICANS DIFFER
Gerhard Says This Country and
Fatherland Misunderstood
Each Other.
NO REASON FOR ANTAGONIST

BERLIN, June 29.-(By Wireless
to Sayville, N. YD-Dr. Anton Meyer
Gerhard. the attache of the German
colonial office who was sent from the
United States to Berlin by the Ger
man ambassador, Count Won Bern
storff, to explain the views OF the
United States regarding the Lusitania
incident, published an article in Der
Tag today on Germany and Amer
lea, in which he says his experiences
convinced him that the countries
misunderstood each other.
1T is true says DR.. Meyer Gerhard
IN his article, that the American press,
With some laudable exceptions. especially
the German-American press, have not
succeeded in remaining neutral, but the
Influence of the press upon public opiniy1
Is sometimes greatly overestimated.
Doubtless large sections of the Ameri-
can people are friendly toward Germans,
whose efficient organization is daily win
ming new friends and arousing interest in
things German.
"One excellent effect OF war II upon
German-Americans who without sacri-
flee of their loyalty to their adopted
country have shown strong remembrances
Of their descent. their education and their
culture. Beside them, on the other side
OF the ocean, there are wide circles who
sympathize with Germany"
Abiding to the discussion over the am
munition question Dr. Meyer Gerhard
said:
Germans often mistake large ammu-
milton orders for filled orders. To a large
extent such orders are changing big fac
tories into ammunition works. This is
regrettable, but the writer is convinced
that large parts of the American people
disapprove OF It. A popular vote would
show a considerable majority against the
practice.
Germans must discriminate between
business men accepting orders and the
great mass of the American people.
Equally there are Americans who con-
denim violations OF Belgian neutrality and
the sinking of the Lusitania, and are
unable to understand the German idea
OF the real conditions. while Americans

LONDON, June 29.-The Russian
