WITH BRITISH
German Correspondent Pre-
diets Such An Outcome
in a Short Time.

Berlin Germany, June 5--Ihe "NoS-
siche Zeitung' publishes a long article
from New York which escaped the
British censor The correspondent
predicts that an alliance between the
United states and England Will be
come an accomplished fact before the
war ends.
After attacking the attitude Of
president Wilson and his cabinet, the
correspondence says:
public opinion in America has been
dominated completely by British in
fluence since the first days Of the war
The financial circles and society,
which exert a tremendous influence
upon the government, are more Eng
fish than high finance and the aris-
tccracy Of England

and they are encouraged by the gov
eminent in washington
Everything Germany does is DIS
torted and falsified- Day after day the
press repeats in new. form the same
old lies with which England has
flooded the country since the oegln-
ming of the war The official reports
OF the German general staff are dis
credited and ridiculed while the news
papers 'ulay ~ the most glazing
fakes of English correspondents as
gospel truth
..The position Of thu citizens Of Ger
man extraction has become almost
1Inbearable. since even president Wiz
son did them the injustice to brand
them as a despicable horde of traitors
in a speech before congress
An open political alliance between
the United States and England is IN
evftable. The movement IS not only
supported by society and the money
kings Of Wall street, but also by a
number Of organizations which are
striving to build up an aristocracy
of citizens or pure English descent
since the pro-British prOpaganolsts
see that they probably cannot bring
about the active participation OF the
United States in the war, they try 10
hasten the conclusion OF the British
American alliance so that the Ameri-
can government will be able to veto

powers, If they should win the war.
