ANTi-AMERiCAN AGITATION
PROHIBITED IN GERMANY

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-The latest sub
marine controversies and the steady
growth of the export of American
arms and ammunition to the coun-
tries of the Allies have further in
creased the bitter feeling of the Ger
man nation against the United States
In the southern part of Germany
an agitation for a general boycott
against American goods after the war
has been started. A self-constituted
committee sent out thousands of cir
eulars to merchants and consumers,
urging them to punish the United
States commercially for their unfair
ness to Germany and for the arming
of the Allies.
The government does not look with
favor on this propaganda and in Ba-
den and Wurttemberg it has been
stopped by the authorities.
