There is little comment in the

there is is violent against the Amer

will withhold comment until The
text is published.
The Foreign Office has ordered the
press both of Berlin and OF the

care in expressing views on the
American situation.
The "Deutsche Tages-Zeitung

Germany will never yield to

lbs Gable 70 The Triburel

London, April 2l.-The Amster-
dam correspondent Of THE Daily
Express" reports that the kilograms
from Washington published in Ber-
lin this morning have greatly PEI
turbed the German public, which, up
to the present, has been systematical-
~ fooled by the authorities with the
comforting pronouncement that all
America would DO would be to talk
and continue TO send notes. Now that
it is seen that America means busi-
ness the German public are angrily
reproaching their leaders with the
crowning blunder of forcing the
United States TO side with the Allies.
Commercial interests in Germany
are viewing with alarm the conse-
auence of trouble with the United
States. Not only would all Difficult
ties between the Allies and the
United States, on which Germany
has been counting as her one trump
card, instantaneously vanish, but 1t
is realized that Americas arsenals
would be at the service of the Allies
and that Germany's fleet of great
ships in American ports would re
seized and used in the service Of the
Allies.
The "Berliner Post" says:
"If Germany should climb down
serious trouble is bound to come
from within. Germany's leaders pre-
fer that trouble should come from
without"
