this alleged confidential note became

the contents Of the message soon be-
came known In newspaper circles,
1.-THE American government and
It's organs already have endured
many brutal British infringements :
said the Morgenpost. Even Aneri

have degraded themselves by giving
up their neutrality and honor as ac'
completes OF England. so It is pre-

this infringement and the attitude O
their ambassador. whereby the Bet

I'VE doubt whether the German

Gerard's conduct. We hope the gov
eminent will find means to correc
his strong attitude. The German
censorship does not concern him ant
he has no right to criticize measures
necessary for the safety Of German
interests"
