Berlin, via London, April S-Recent
dispatches have brought word Of
statement in the Canadian parliament
and the Canadian newspapers that Ger
many was planning after this war to
plunge in the American continent and
demand the cession of the dominion.
In conversation with Herr Won
Jagow. minister Of foreign affairs. the
Associated Press correspondent referred
to these rumors.
How can people invent or believe
such stories?" asked Herr Won. Jagow.
ITO anyone not entirely blinded by pas
sion it Is evident that Germany never
pursued such senseless aims.
E"One can not imagine a state of af =
fairs in Europe after the war such that
we should have a free enough hand to
divert our strength and efforts to such
a task on the American continent.
Not to Attack Monroe Doctrine.
Equally ridiculous. tho unfortunately
this phase has a serious side, are ru-
mors which 1 understand here and
there are current in the United States,
that Germany after the war will take
revenge on the United States by pur-
suing an anti-American policy. 1t is
reported to me that apprehensive souls
in America foresee an attempt by Ger
many to break down the Monroe doc
trine and plant it's flag in Sou h or
Central America, or even upon the
United States and crush them to OBJ
tain mastery of both continents. ~
4s2"I need hardly assure you such re-
(ports;;@which from time to time have
been set anoat BY enemies OF Germany
in the evident intention Of stirring III
feelings against it. are too absurd fol
denial. Ineed only7recall that Germany
has never placed itself in opposition tc
the American, principle of the Monroe
doctrine. .@.Il..'
! 50 Points to Mexico.
Again, would ask American doubt
ers to remember the attitude of Ger
many during the Mexican crisis. All
the German commercial interests were
involved and there was demand to pro-
tect those interests, but the imperial
government at all times stood for
American control of the situation.
1T is unfortunately true that during
the war, when the thoughts of, every
German are bound up heart and SOU
against world wide coalition, the at
titude of the Washington government al
times has almost forced us. We think
that there might be some basis for stor-
les Or an understanding of some sort
between Washington and the allies. A
strong feeling Of resentment and bitter
ness against the United States has
sprung up among the masses in Ger
many
Foolish to Talk Revenge.
unfortunately, too. there are foolish
persons among us who talk darkly OF
taking revenge upon the United States
but no responsible official takes OF
cares to take such a view.

THE punitive force has done all that

Americans would not tolerate the

Americans is beginning to irritate the
Mexican people. It looks like sur

Villa May Be at ParraI. t
Information from Mexican sources
today said that Francisco Villa had
reached Parral and had sent ennis
karies into the town to test the spirit
of the garrison and also to secure
provisions. AS usual with such re-
ports no verifcation was possible but
the fact that the bandit was reliably
reported to have been only flfty-five
miles from Parral two days ago gave
color to the story. g=ls
This information served at least TO
act as considerable damper on the
hope of those who thought the BAN
dts career might be ended by another
brilliant dash on the part of the Am
erican troopers who have pushed south
Of Satevo. Army officers say that a
repetition OF Colonel Dodd's exploit
was unlikely owing to the great dis
tance to be covered, unless Villa was
